What are your Vaping Pet Hates ;)

[Keita]

Hahahahahah, now THATS a beaut.

Although i disagree partially on your recommendations of mods. if someone had told me sooner about a provari or lavatube, or something similar. i wouldnt have spent soo much money on average stick mods, trying to get a perfect vape. echo, ego, igo, kgo, ... i'd have loved it if i had been given the advice of either of the afore mentioned mods 11 months ago. wasted alot of time with some of the sticks. althought i DO have to say, the little kgo was an excellent mod, and i still have it. it was sooo easy to use that thing, with a carty, now with tanks, there are so many more steps before i can vape.

Here is a story I posted here that you might find funny.

Once however... I was interning in San Francisco. I went downstairs to the bottom of the office building (40 story building). I went to the smoking area and started to vape. This woman (in her mid 20's), stuck up, aviator glasses, basically a teenage girl was talking on a cell phone. Being in the City it is quite windy and some vapor happened to blow her way. She said, "EXCUSE ME!!! But can you please not blow that MY WAY I have ASTHMA!!!'. I said, "I am sorry, but this is an electronic cigarette, there is no smoke, only vapor." She responded, "I KNOW WHAT I SMELLED!!!". To my smart ... attitude and me not liking hers I simply said with a slight attitude, "What? Air?!?". She then told her friend on the phone that I am a "Beepen @$$ BEEPEN BEEP BEEP BEEP". I simply laughed on the inside but let out a smirk and turned the other cheek. She then went inside the building and got a security guard and he came up to me and ask what was the situation and that I was causing her problems. I explained everything even including that I am in the designated smoking area even though I am vaping. He told the lady it was her fault (since this was the smoking area) and she went ballistic. The security guard told her if she doesn't calm down he will have to call the police. She complied but gave me the EVIL look the whole time she went inside. (keep in mind as a child I had bad asthma and even when I do smoke an analog I follow the rules and hide my cigarette when I see a child. I hold my breath every time someone walks by due to courtesy.)

another BEAUT'.

wish i was there with you, i'd have told her all you were doing was humidifying her complexion. then she'd have probably demanded you keep doing it"

i'm just thankful i had puppies instead of kids....i sometime think i'd be in a prison somewhere right now, if i had had kids.........

I wish the word e-cig, electronic cigarette, etc. was never associated with the device. We've done it to ourselves, the public can't help but think of cigarettes when we use those terms. I think it's too late to change, what a shame.

I agree I dont like the word E-cig. But at the same time I dont like the word Personal vaporizer. When I tell them that they think its some drug device haha. I once told my friend, "I'm going out for a vape." He was like, "that sounds... worse then smoking".

 

[AJMoore]

Yeah, I get that, but at least it doesn't sound like smoking. All the news re: e cigs just keys people into the cig part, associated with a bad habit. We've lost the battle already, just wish we could all agree on a different term.

 

[Blargh23]

Why does every review have to include blowing vapor at the camera? We know every e-cig made produces vapor. All they're doing is proving the battery works.

And ...

Hasn't anyone heard of editing? Y'know ... when you shoot some video and go back and take out all the boring stuff? All the awkward pauses ... the lurching for the right word.

The first five minutes of the video is fumbling around with things because they "weren't ready" drives me batty.

You'd think they'd know they were about to make a video, this isn't Candid Camera.

 

[meeems]

oh my gaaaaaa' right??

and will they EVER get to the bloody point??, they want to talk about their wives, dogs, other vendors, every other topic but the one they say on their review title'...

good call on that one Blargh'

Yeah, or people that say, "I dont know the information right now but I will provide a link in the comments". Or people that make a video about the obvious yet come unprepared on their own part when the information can be found on the manufactures website. Or people that say, "this juice is from freedomsmoke, or some other vender." A second later they bring up another one and another and count, 1, 2, 3 drops. All this even though the video is for a PV. One of the biggest is when the sound is not only scratchy but SOO LOW that I need to max out my speakers and I can still hardly hear them.

Today I had the 8000th person tell me about the guy in Florida who had his blow his face off. Thought of this thread.

 

[cags]

I don't like the use of the word "toot"

that makes me think of a fart more than a hit or puff ..............

 

[Maestro]

I don't like it that I can't hold it in my mouth when I'm using my hands. Old habits die hard.

 

[DaBatMan]

I hate the term "personal vaporizer," too. My mind immediately goes to "personal massagers," and we all know of the unspoken connotations behind those.

Now, imagine showing a newbie an 18650 tube mod, and explaining the condom fill method for cartos. You know where their mind is going to end up. I don't think I could do that with a straight face, if I used the term "personal vaporizers."

The sheer girth of my tube mod that doesn't really allow for adequate filling of the condom (when that method is tried) cap.

Hey... I was provoked!!!

 

[Jin_888]

When I'm vaping in my office and it sets off the fire alarm. There's only so many times I can use the excuse "I was overly enthusiastic with the air freshener spray"

 

[priorities]

Oh my gosh...you guys are so funny ! ha...laughing my way through this thread! ..ha...oh I keep telling people simply this..oh "these,? these are fake cigarettes..you know..like those candy ones years ago that you blow through and fake smoke comes out? same thing.. or.."i'ts fake..i'ts a battery with liquid that makes vapor" any simple thing like that..I agree with so many of you..but I get more stares than anything ! Not too popular around here...so seems no one has seen them yet...they actually come over and ask..they get 'a kick out of it' ! So far..so good... Lee

 

[echofinder]

People who are overly self-righteous about the "harm reduction" thing & literally think they are saving the world by converting others to e-cigs.

People who support draconian censorship online and IRL because saying the "wrong things" will make vapers "look bad" to the anti's.

People who "never clean cartomizers" because "they are so cheap I switch them every day". Money is money dawg & just because cigarettes were outrageously expensive does not make everything else cheap except in comparison. Many of us cannot afford $1.50 or more a day for cartos & would certainly like to see the power of the market drive down prices; if people are not concerned about money, prices will never decrease & will likely go up very quickly.

People who are waaaaay too into mods/tech, like "Oh dude, I can't even vape unless I am using a 24 volt variable-wattage iPad mod with a printer that continuously spits out line chart readings (like a polygraph) showing my wattage, ohms...etc, and I only use the new quad-coil clearotankoattymizer2068-7G-Batch 4 which are handmade by the English Queen and not available to the general public. You use an EEEEEEGOOOOOOOOO??? Dude, If I had to defile my greatness with that filth I think I would vomit out my guts and die on the spot; you might as well vape cat poop from a car exhaust pipe."

People who take juice way too seriously; must be kept in glass bottles of a specific shape & only transferred with a robotic needle dropper and it has to be stored between 44-45 Kelvin at an altitude of 3000 meters and shaken 10x daily and it must be this color and cannot be that color and if it touches sunlight for one second it is RUINED! I don't know how these people ever actually manage to vape the stuff.

People who do that former smoker thing & complain all the time about how cigarettes are ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING and they CANNOT be around smokers at all and they are no longer friends with anyone who smokes and anyone who vapes but still has analogs ever is SATAN.

People who feel the need to switch flavors every ten seconds. Pick one and enjoy it for a bit yo.

People who are overly pretentious about their need to try every juice ever made out of every mod ever created: Unless Professor Oak told you to go catch them all, I am only moderately interested.

TLDR: Vapers.

 

[Butters78]

You got to get your damn dog from pooping on my sidewalk.. Jeff I know you are reading this! Walking around town vaping your damn lavatube letting your pekingese treat my land like it needs fertilizer real bad. There are leash laws by the way! What the hell are you feeding that dog anyway I leave for work and it smells like a rancid breakfast burrito..


By the way tell your wife to keep her robe well secured when she gets the paper. I have no interest in her "goodies"

/end vaping pet hates

"People who do that former smoker thing & complain all the time about how cigarettes are ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING and they CANNOT be around smokers at all and they are no longer friends with anyone who smokes and anyone who vapes but still has analogs ever is SATAN."

Oh, I so cannot do that. I hate to admit it, but I enjoy the smell of co-workers coming back in from a smoke. LOL! It doesn't make me want one, but I like the smell just the same! They think it's hysterical.

 

[Wolf308]

Two more, both happened today which reminded me...

1. "Well, you need to quit that, too." I do, in fact, have a wonderful, ingenious, and world stopping response to this statement. "No."

2. "I've been with you for 10 minutes and you've already taken four pulls off of that thing!" Yeah? And? Did you count the amount of drags it took me to finish a cigarette, too?

OK, I lied, one more.

Vapers who tell new vapers how "everything changes" once you really get used to it. I have a friend who vapes, and he is actually the one who convinced me. I'd been thinking on it, but was skeptical and didn't want to pay the price for nothing, but it worked for him, so I went for it. After two months, I now listen to what he is telling smokers about vaping. According to him, your sense of taste and smell improves, along with this whole parade of other wondrous things that happen, thanks to vaping.

It reminds me of all the "wonderful things" that will happen if you drop a ton of weight. Apparently, according to all these people, your life generally becomes wonderful.

Hog wash.

My sense of taste and smell has not improved. To be fair, my sense of smell was always crazy good, even while smoking. It didn't get any better. Same with taste. I got hungrier when I switched, but the food didn't taste any better. LOL!

Why must we embellish? If it happened to you, great. Say, "What happened to me was..." Don't say, "You'll experience..." You don't know that.

 

[forks]

vapers who say vapor and mean vaper, not the vapor the vapers vape from their vaporizer

 

[hairball]

Going to a casino and having someone sit down beside you, only to have them start to cough and act like they are waving the smoke away from their faces. I actually had an older woman do this to me until I turned, looked straight at her, and said,"Ma'm, I'm not smoking so is there a fly pestering you?" She acted pissy until I took a drag and deliberately blew it in her direction...not something I would do normally. I told her, IF you can smell anything, it will smell like peach...I'm vaping, not smoking. She was so ...... she got up and left...LOL.
