You know what, people can say I'm off the deep end all they want to, but I'll continue to be the person on this forum that says vapor from e-liquid is supposed to taste like the flavorings that are used in the e-liquid! I don't think a Blueberry juice should, for whatever reason, taste like burnt cotton, dry-burned silica, cardboard, polyfil, burnt rubber, metal, the list goes on and that's my stance. I believe firmly that a lot of the people who think I'm nuts for saying that obviously enjoy these tastes and that it shouldn't be a representative of what is the "grand vape" of our community.
Those are the tastes I've gotten from products that were marketed to me as being able to be used right out of the box. I know it was the products because I've turned around and used my juices on my little Cisco and they all tasted fantastic. I didn't know I'd have to go in a bleach my Aspire heads, I didn't know that I'd have to completely rebuild the Protank heads, I didn't know that the Aro heads required two different types of pliers to even get the heads apart and back together, and I didn't know that the iClear 30 would, simply, taste like burning carpet even after letting it wick all night. No company or vendor told me about those problems and that's why I gave negative reviews.
[moderated] You know why that is? It's because A. Like me, no one wants to waste money. and B. Guess what, no one thinks these products are any better than I do. If anyone had any confidence in them, they'd be throwing them around left and right instead of just arguing with me all day.
Actually, it's probably C. Half of these people work for vendors who send reviewers THOUSANDS of dollars worth of equipment every year, and spend so much money doing that, that they don't even have a penny to spend on offering replacements to customers. So they have no better attitude toward ever helping out other vapers.
