Anyone else sick of vaping snobs?

[AmandaMV]

I don't ever gripe ..... about anything ...., I am very quiet and to myself a lot. A proud introvert so to speak. But this has been bugging me a lot lately. People gathered in a group "mainly facebook" and laugh and make fun of their local B&M's House juice. Because nothing under $30 for 30 ml is good enough for them. I have great juice that wasn't massed produced and labeled "premium" Or others who rip apart someone for having a clone or whatever. Not everyone has the money to spend on this high end stuff ..... So I guess that means they should verbally be ripped to {Moderated}.... and called a cheap {Moderated}. or whatever. I thought the vape community was supposed to stick together and support each other's goal of quitting smoking no matter what device, juices what not. We have more things to worry about with fighting supreme court for our right to vape, not singling each other out based on how much your setup costs. Just my thoughts. Feel free to speak your mind.

It's cool wen you when you can share thoughts on mods, tanks, etc. with people, but I don't worry about what people think about what I use. It's their hangup; don't stress about it.

You hit like on the wrong page. Unlike it and find a good vape page.

 

[Susan~S]

I pay no attention either.

However other than visiting my local B&M (everyone there is great) and posting here I have very little interaction with other vapers.

No I totally agree with you, I think it's awesome people can talk about their setups and what not. But I have joined in on a conversation a few times and because I didn't have all high end equipment I got the "go away peasant" attitude.

do what I do ... stay off those Facebook groups ... actually, I have no choice because I'm not on FB.

I am more of a Tootle Puffer ... and Tootle Puffers tend to vape with not much Bravado

If that's their attitude, then obviously they're not worth talking to, IMHO. You've got a lot of great people here to share thoughts with...

I've never understood why some folks let what others say get to them.
Ignore them & move on, life is too short.

I have been vaping for 4 years and I have no idea what a tootle puffer is..

Facebook, there's your problem. Welcome to ECF, most of us are much nicer here

 

[AmandaMV]

Yeah, that is my problem, I need to spend less time on facebook, and more time on ECF

 

[WillyZee]

you are fairly new to ECF ... however, so is the term Tootle Puff

those Tootle Puffers are a great bunch of non judgemental vapers

I would never pay $1/ml, that's just insane. B&M's tend to overcharge as well. I vape what is imo incredible juice for a fraction of the cost of most mass produced, "premium" e-juice.

As for the snobs you referred to, don't pay them any mind. They don't sound like people whose opinions should bother you in the slightest. I personally keep my e-juice / e-cig shopping exclusively online, and I'm very happy with the community of like-minded, kind people I've encountered here at ECF. Certain vendors (e.g. Nicoticket) have phenomenal, welcoming sub-communities within ECF as well.

I like you

Welcome to the Internet. The home of negativity and criticism.

 

[AmandaMV]

Thanks everyone for the comments. I was afraid I was going to make people angry with my post, but I see people are a lot different in here then they are on facebook or Reddit.

 

[jdrewry]

A great line I heard about the Internet, and a lot of other social media sites (heard it on NCIS):
"A cesspool of questionable human behavior"...

 

[sonicdsl]

Welcome to ECF Amanda. We do try to keep things civil around here. So kick up your feet, relax, and have a vape.

Oh, and sorry for the timing (see big yellow banner at the top!)... we'll be down for a day or two transitioning to new & improved software, but please come back when we do!

Facebook groups are a cesspool. They're all full of people being snotty about something. Even beekeeping pages, photography collecting pages, and antique pages…everyone has an opinion, not everyone knows how to abide by the social contract. They're not in a room with the people they're talking junk to, after all, so no danger of getting punched in the face or otherwise having to back up their talk. Ignore it. Life is too short for Facebook drama.
