    What are your Vaping Pet Hates ;)

    Yeah, everyone certainly is different. When I starting looking at e-cigs and knew virtually nothing about them, I had no interest whatsoever in a ciggie look-alike, and went straight for an eGo-class battery. Glad I did, since the performance is so much better. *** (Bye all, it's been fun -...

    What are your Vaping Pet Hates ;)

    Well, I do what I can - like talking to Steve K from Philly for over three hours, at no charge, getting him squared away because his local B & M "set him up" with a single Twist, a single DCT tank, a single pre-punched carto, and 100% VG. After two trips to the vendor's store, he still doesn't...

    I've gotten at least ten people off of cigarettes so far with Twists and Vivi Novas, and they all knew to puff on it, and not try to have sex with it. (In fairness, I cannot vouch for their conduct after they left).

    Hi, my first post :)

    Hiya Steve - welcome to the forum, and to vaping! One thing that I believe to be universally true about vaping is that with the right equipment and juice, it's more enjoyable than smoking. I tell person after person that they don't have to "quit smoking"; they just have to start doing this...

    Let's not, and say we did. Pet peeve: All-too-frequent, and IMO unwarranted, and certainly unwelcome criticism of not so much what I say, but that I say it at all, or to what level of detail, or with what frequency. I do of course agree that quitting cigarettes is a marvelous thing, and...

    This is a forum for exchanging views and ideas. It's not your job to regulate what's said here; there are moderators for that. And it's pretty common, and generally accepted, for people to quote others, even if a particular comment was directed specifically at them. You call it...

    What are your Vaping Pet Hates ;)

    I do have to strongly come to the defense of well-designed look-alikes, and am even planning on owning a few, just for their coolness, especially the Volt and its insanely slick and well-designed PCC. That said, I just want to add that the jump from a look-alike need not be to a "mod" like a...

    Converting people

    Yes, I think they will. Because vaping is more enjoyable, costs less, and very likely does not kill you nearly as quickly as cigarettes. The ignorant and stupid will take up vaping much more slowly than the merely ignorant, because the latter condition is much more readily remedied through...

    "If anything, that thing is probably worse because it's straight Nicotine." Hmm ... maybe your friend will eventually end up with a GF with better logic skills than that. Let's break that down; she's saying that vaping is probably worse because instead of inhaling tobacco smoke containing...

    I just want to mention a few things. The Joyetech eGo-T is a constant voltage device that uses a tank/atomizer system that is not perform anywhere nearly as well as many other "attachments" out there like the Vivi Nova and other "clearomizers". All the 18650 mod will do for you is increase...

    "These people should be ashamed of themselves; their ignorance and illogic kills people". Too late. I've been following politics extremely closely for at least the last 40 years. It is terrifying, and that's a non-partisan view. I intent to do something about it. This ties in nicely with a...

    Long-standing Pet Peeve: Willful ignorance and abject stupidity among so-called "health experts". Read this only if you can withstand a 30-point rise in your blood pressure. I'd say "ask your doctor if you're healthy enough to read it", but I'm losing confidence in doctors lately, along with...

    I'm new

    Excellent, excellent, excellent! Congratulations, and I'm very psyched for you. This vaping thing is amazing, and my mantra is "It's more enjoyable, it costs less, and it doesn't kill you". The sad but understandable part is that it's the first one that makes it work; it's more enjoyable...

    Hiya bols, welcome to the forum, and to your new life as an ex-slave to ciggies! Hey, I know you requested "no jokes", but that was pretty funny; "my problem is I'm Canadian". :) "Hmm, let's see ..... wow, canadian huh ...... yeah, that's a problem all right ..... dang ......" lol...

    Frustrated Newbie would like help With someone in Philly

    Just had a fifty-five minute phone conversation with Steve, and promised him some posts/links: Volts/ohms/watts: "Variable voltage lets you be Goldilocks. She wanted her porridge just the right temperature. To get a variety of resistances of coils to just the right temperature, you need to be...

    Spidey, feel free to keep goofing off; our trade balance is completely out of whack, so whatever you can do to reduce foreign production would be greatly appreciated. :laugh: Nice talking with you, and vape on, my foreign friend! :vapor: Since you seem to be a TH guy, here's a thread you...
