When the battery always seems to die just as I'm starting the perfect vape. The juice is right, the carto is working great and is perfectly filled and bam, time to pop it on the charger.

When something goes wrong just as I plop down to relax.everything is working fine just until I don't feel like getting up again or pop open a book. Why couldn't you decide to leak 2 minutes ago?

when I am getting ready to go on a trip for 3 or 4 days or over a week, trying to make sure I have enough juice, batteries, chargers, cartomizers for the trip. Before all I needed was a couple of cartons of cigs and some lighters.

Amen. If I was going away for a weekend, 3 packs of cigs and maybe 2 lighters were my insurance.

Now I bring at least 2 fully charged batteries,a fully charged pcc and a bottle of juice for a trip to the food store that's 10 minutes away.

Oh geez 3rd post... I guess its just a testament to how fun this thread is.

I'm going to piggyback what someone said about having to order from multiple vendors. I totally agree. The thing that irks me the most is that the ones I use are so close to being my one stop shops but just miss the mark in one key way. One might have the juice I want but they carry cartos I hate. Another might have my cartos but their juice is meh.

What I spend just on shipping each month can buy me several packs or cartos or something.

Speaking of shipping,why do the costs vary so much sometimes? Why does it cost one guy $6 to mail first class yet it only costs another $2? Its the same bloody postal service! Either one guy is eating the difference or the other is pocketing a few extra bucks.

People who just order stuff without reading the descriptions and then complain because it doesn't work right or doesn't look like what they've ordered or used previously. That's why the descriptions are there, folks! A CE2 cartomizer isn't the same as say a Boge LR cartomizer or an eGo Mega cartomizer. I realize there's a lot of new stuff out there, and there's more new stuff coming out all the time. But for the love of the gods, people, read the damned descriptions and if you still don't know what it is then ASK! Don't just order it and then complain about it!

Everything I DIY mix tastes like burnt wood.

Giving up on mixing and trying to order from a popular vendor, but have to play guessing games as to when that vendor will actually accept orders.

Vendor out of stock on item, place order for other stuff anyway, and next day the item is back in stock.

Someone out there has to make a good mocha cappuccino that is dominant VG... someone... anyone...

1) (from a total stranger) "Do you know what's in those things????"

2) (from a co-worker) "I'm glad you quit smoking, but nicotine is still poisoning you"

3) Newbies who order juice and then post a negative review bashing the juice the day they receive it

4) My husband complaining about how chocolate vapor smells, as he lights up a cigarette

Deciding a flavor is going to be the end-all-be-all daily vape and ordering 90ML of it. Then being tired of it before the order arrives.

YEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS. And then, when after this terrible experience it happens again, and again...! Until, eventually, you even order the 90ML 'knowing' at the same time you will get tired soon, still you go ahead and order...!

Yes, I AM that stupid!
Huuuuuuuuuua.

Havent read the entire thread, and maybe someone has mentioned this... Anyway, the thing is... one of the things I hate the most is when some over-excited newbie who has discovered vaping two minutes ago starts posting tons of videos and tutorials 'pretending' to know it all and by the very look of his ways it turns he is doing the basic things the wrong way and totally clueless... Say, he would drip twenty drops and flood his atty and maybe even claim how cool it is and how full of vapor his vape has become with his new pseudo-mod: The super-flood vape!
.... em!

It is not inherently unreasonable for someone to think that a juice that they ordered should taste good the day they receive it. Yes, it is common knowledge among "veterans" that many juices need some steeping to peak, but that still does not make it unreasonable to expect it to taste good right away.

This is all further complicated by the fact that some juices do taste good right away and some might not, even from the same vendor. Also, it is not even necessarily consistent about how recently a juice was mixed, even from the same vendor.

Obviously it wouldn't be practical for a juice vendor to "age" his/her juices before selling them. So instead what juice vendors ought to do (IMHO) is make sure that the mix date is printed on the label (which many do already) and add a second date indicating when the juice is best by ("Best if used after..."), along with appropriate storage instructions for steeping.

A juice vendor ought to know his/her own juice best, right?

haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. LOL

PS: Nevertheless, it would be OK to pronounce the milliamp hours entry as /ma:/ (IPA entry) according to phonemic conventions... Then again, it may sound irritating coming from a newbie within the context of his freaking reviews! Despite phonemic rules, this certainly demonstrates that the Russians are 'beaming' us all!!!!!!!
