A cabin in the woods and loving it
Running out of storage space for my e-cig supplies. Looks like I may need to upgrade to one of those rolling tool chests. That should fit in amazingly well with my living room furniture, and I'm sure the wife will love it. :facepalm:

A nice gift box with a diamond bracelet inside should soften the blow. lol

I dont like it when you buy someone there very own PV because they want to quit smoking and they dont use it and wont give it back!
I bought an e cig three years ago that I tried a few times, did not like it, put it in a drawer. A few months later, I got it out again and started using it more and more. Just because someone does not instantly take to the idea does not mean they will not do so later. Have patience

people who insist that dripping is the only way to go if you vape. (yeah I drip when I want to test a flavor I'm not sure if I'll like or not) but dripping is not something I enjoy.

people who insist that manual batteries are the way to go. (yeah I use manual batteries, but not by choice, since I've not been able to find a auto big batt mod that's worth a hill of beans.

having people in the general public see you vaping and having to comment "oh my gawd do you know how BAD those things are for you?!?!?!? Stop doing that right now! Don't do that near me!! You are going to ruin your lungs!" and having to explain, with patience and a smile, that no they are not "bad " for me, it won't affect you, and my lungs are actually IMPROVING since I gave up cigarettes and have started doing this. I researched this for a full year before I stepped into doing it, how long did you research to feel you know enough to freak out at me over it?"


oh ya, and all those pictures of people behind clouds of vapor. yeah I get it, you can make vapor with your equipment. must I look at it? better, show me a picture of your equipment that can produce that kind of vapor.

Oh, and to the forum member that has a pet peeve about not having your location in your profile.... not an e-cig pet-peeve....lol. That's a forum pet peeve. So now I have ticked you off TWICE. (OK, I have the country listed, does that count?). lol. Won't be the 1st time, nor the last......that I ticked someone off.

Standard ecig batteries. I don't know why, but there is nothing that bugs me more than enjoying a vape, and the battery dies after about a half an hour, and the last one I drained isn't done charging in the PCC yet.

Yes, I know I'm a mod guy, but I still need something small and inconspicuous to stealth vape on at work.

I can totally relate! And here I'm trying to break MY HUBBY'S packrat habits. I have nobody to blame but myself on this one...Can't throw away that extra cart or bottle, now! Someone I care about might NEED it!

You put just a LITTLE too much liquid in your carto and it pops a hot bit of liquid into your mouth for the next 5-6 vapes (now why I always press the button for 1 second before pulling off of it).

Liquid spoiling. It was good two days ago and now it tastes stale and gross. Now I have 8 out of 10 mL of liquid that's essentially useless (unless you're really strapped for liquid).

When I stealth vape and even after 10 seconds of holding it in, it still lets off vapor when I exhale. I'm trying to look inconspicuous, and that fails when the 3 people around you turn around and wonder why there are puffs of "smoke" emitting from your nostrils.

I like this thread. I don't agree with much of it, and I super-ninja-agree with some of it. But it's fun to see what bugs people.

I had a hard time with "analog" given the implied implication that PVs are digital is a little thin. And it's not a pet peeve, exactly, but I do think it would be better for the future of PVs if we call them something besides e-cigarettes. But it has to be something people understand readily, and I don't think "PV" is it... at least not yet.

My absolute biggest pet peeve is any thread (and I've started some) where volts, ohms, watts, or resistance are mentioned. I know it's necessary right now, but it's really bad for the industry. Some plain-language standardization would be a godsend.
