...use the search option of the forum.Most of your questions have already been asked and most have been answered too.There is no point in asking, for example, which are the best juices.It has been asked hundreds of times and answered as well.Just do some homework, it will help you a lot as it did to me and so many others.

Cheers

If you switch from 'search entire posts' to 'search titles only' then you will find what you are looking for. For the number of posts I agree.Plus my initial comment also refers to questions that had not been answered.Don't get disappointed as a new member that nobody replies.It's just that some questoons are extremely generic.

Searching can be helpful, but not always. A lot of the time the answers you get from searching can be very outdated, especially if you don't pay attention to the dates of the posts that turn up. I know this from when I first joined here. ;) Things change very quickly in the vaping community, so I don't mind answering the same question over and over because the answer often changes!

Some people just want to start a conversation and their is nothing wrong with that. It may well have been answered in the past but I don't see a thing wrong with trying to start up conversation. ... maybe That's more of what their looking for than a cut and dry answer.

I agree. It's a social forum as much as anything else. Also as trends change and new items come to market and new techniques are discovered, older threads may have outdated information.

So post away new members and old, I'd hate it if we start telling off new posters that their question had been asked a million times and just told them to search.

Advice doesn't imply that something is wrong.Plus the main target of my advice was the unanswered newbie questions.Never said not socialize, just search.Maybe I gave the wrong impression.
