ok...time to drop it please :)





I just want to say thanks to classwife, Robino1, Dusty and Sonic for always being the voices of reason here on ECF. I am sure I won't make it here much longer but you all have been a pleasure to be around and converse with even when you were scolding me when I needed to "reel" it in a bit. I am going to miss yall.

I am going to miss yall

And just where do you think you are going buster ??

    Bait ignored fish on poodle tuffer.

    Thanks Reign.

    I'm not for or against cloud comps by youngsters. I'm trying to convey why I believe so many folks get uptight about it here on this forum.

    btw - I really am a poodle tuffer.

    sorry, I can't really help on how to blow bigger clouds ... however, good luck in your quest for the gold.

    Sh*t Vapers Say :vapor:

    WillyZee, it is scary scary scary how true and accurate that video is. I give major props to them; they nailed it with amazing humor.

    Every single thing said in that video, I kid you not, I would not lie to you, I've heard over and over and over again in real life ad nauseum.

    EDIT: Your link is broken, of course. If anyone wants to see the video, just go to Youtube and type in what WillyZee linked to.

    I'm only doing this once, as a last ditch effort.

    If you don't like what someone is doing move on. Don't chastise them. They came hear for answers and were effectively showing them the door.

    This is not what ECF stood for, we need to become the diverse community we once were. Accepting of everyone.

    If a new member comes in, with questions and doesn't want to accept the answers be it too low a resistance or refusing to understand battery safety. Its on them, its not our place to belittle them.

    Let's try to get back to helping and teaching not ramming our opinions down others throats.

    I'm on forums around the world, and week after week I meet more and more people who left ECF over this nonesense.

    It's to the point now other forums are using threads EXACTLY LIKE THIS ONE as an open recruiting tool as to why you should avoid joining here and why they are better.

    And that's sad, is that what everybody wants?. To become our own little walled off subreddit?


    So I'm putting out an open call to new members and vets alike - let's take back our forum. And prove to the world what made ECF great in the first place - our very rich and diverse community of vapors helping vapors.

    Many of the items, devices and theories we know were in some way created here. I can remember many new devices and concepts coming to fruitation on these very forums. Now those same sub areas are dead almost.


    So I'm asking everyone, please stop the nonesense, we are better then that. And we need to prove it.

    If you don't like a post, bite your tongue and move on, please.

    Great post Thrasher and I couldn't agree more :thumb:

    Agreed, Shao Jun's story should have been more than the DL side scroller. It's time for a feudal Japan full game with a female heroine. And we need another MP Stat even if it's stand alone.

    A pic of me and my Evod ;) I am on the other side of my cloud.

    talk .... about evods all you want . I have 1 ordered even though I have some amazing setups . Why ? Because they are the most convenient for smoking in front of your comp or in your car , making big clouds is fun to me only when I am outside sitting on a bench .

    One last thing and I'm going to bed. But... for those "cloud chasers" who switched from smoking to vaping to potentially elongate their lifespan: when you were a smoker, did you care how big the smoke was coming out of your mouth? Did being truly satisfied as a smoker depend on how big a cloud of smoke you blew?

    I can't speak for you or for anyone else, but when I was a smoker, I couldn't give a flip about how much smoke came out of my mouth. I just wanted to smoke, dammit, I wanted my nicotine. But all of a sudden, about a year or so ago, vaping became all about how much vapor you could produce. How big a cloud you could blow. What kind of tricks you could do (rings, tornadoes, et al.) It USED to be about quitting smoking. Now it's about gear and chucking clouds. Once again, I will say, this bothers me a tad because it takes just a little bit away from those who switched to vaping to quit smoking, not to blow really big clouds and do tricks to impress friends or participate in "cloud competitions". Deep down, past all the trolling, past all the backhanded statements, this is why kiddies blowing clouds bothers me. They took something that was dear to me and cheapened it. The fact that the vast majority of "cloud chasers" are either in their late teens or early twenties and have never smoked real cigarettes or need to quit a life-threatening addiction just sticks it in the craw even more. That is my own statement, my own feelings, and it doesn't apply to anyone else. But there, that's why I feel the way I feel about kiddie cloud chasers. Maybe they should just stick to the word that rhymes with gong.

    And to that I will say again for the 10000 time, I'm not a kiddie and started vaping to quit smoking with a Nautilus an vv/vw device. But continued to dual use until I tried a mech with a subohm build something about it satisfied my urge to smoke more than the other setup. I haven't smoked since, just because it satisfies you doesn't mean all of us are doing it for kicks or some other reason.

    But for some reason some people are having a hard time understanding that. It's not a hobby for me it keeps me from smoking just like you but since my way produces more vapor somehow it is a fad and not a possibly life saving opportunity like vaping is to you.
