Patient: Doc, based on my symptons, what do you suggest?

Doctor: I think we need for you to get a Colonoscopy.

Patient: WHAT! No way, Doc, no one is going to stick something up my back end!!!!

Doctor: Well, that is my expert opinion.

Patient: You "experts" are always pushing these so-called better procedures. I think I will just get one of those "cleansing" products advertized so well on TV. I'm sure that will work.

One month later:

Funeral Director: You like the oak casket the best?

Wife: Yes, tearfully

I hope a few of you have a strange sense of humor as I do. For the rest of you, I will apologize in advance

Cute analogy, but not even close to what is going on here. :lol:

You guys are gonna get a mod smack down lol. No skin off my back, but just thought I'd throw it out there.

thanks Uba. You know what they say, boys will be boys. I'm really just playing... I thought if I could expose the ridiculousness of the "lets fight like 4 years olds" we could appreciate the humor and take a step back from the uber serious arguments about a minor issue. If a person behind a keyboard that you dont know can get to you this bad, get off your .... and do something good for yourself. Cmon people...

PS: stars I'm sorry for attacking you. I hope I didn't make you too mad o_O

Humm, a newbie who doesn't know what he "doesn't know" vs veterans who know much more what the considerable majority have proven "works" and what doesn't "work" in effectively making the transition. Definite similarities.

But major differences also. Vapers currently have what... 2-3 years of experience while doctors have years of schooling, internships, certifications, and very high insurance rates.

There is zero tolerance for name calling. If you can't handle yourself in a mature and adult manner, you may consider stepping away from the thread. Discussions can become heated at times but remember to maintain your composure or matters will be taken into our hands to resolve.

Thank you,

I don't think they will lock it yet lol. Looks like they got it out of their systems. It happens. I think we can all agree that we like trying to help folks out on ecf. But I doubt we will ever get a locked in one size fits all answer together for newbs that we all agree on. What's the fun in that lol?

Funeral director: Mam, I really think you would be much happier with the pine casket.

Agreed 100%. The fun is when it actually becomes the hobby and trying everything new for yourself. Everyone has different tastes no matter if it's juices or hardware.

I find it absolutely hilarious that some people are still missing the point here (no surprise we have the "get an eGo" issue to begin with). Nobody here is trashing the eGo. Stop defending it for no good reason. The point is to stop pushing the eGo on people looking for something specific. In this case a light-duty, cigarette-like, device. I'll make this post easier for those who prefer to gloss over things without actually taking the time to read and comprehend what is being said. With this method you can skip a sentence or two (as usual for some here) containing important information and still catch at least one.

A light-duty, cigarette-like, device.

"I'm looking for a light-duty, cigarette-like, device."

"I'm looking for a light-duty, cigarette-like, device."

A proper answer to this particular question may look like this:
The eGo is a good PV. I really enjoy it and highly recommend it. But it's a bit bigger than a super-mini and more than you're asking for. Might I suggest a 510?


Again.
No one is trashing the eGo. No one is saying not to suggest an eGo when it is the proper "what should I get?" device.

If someone posts;
"My 510 battery life sucks. What should I get as an upgrade?"
Cmon, kids. You all know the answer! Let me see some hands!
