Could by battery really be the issue?

Catalinaflyer, you're the exact type of member I'm talking about. You're the type of member to sit there and claim that all vaping devices are perfect when innokin themselves released a recall, and Phil himself has seen problems with the Aspire having burnt tastes, and I could go on and on and on and on.

Mr. GoodNews I simply stated that I HAVE NOT HAD NEAR THE PROBLEMS YOU HAVE MR. EXPERT and I also said that the majority of the problems I have had I CAUSED and that I actually take the time to read other peoples posts and figure out what I'M DOING WRONG!

I have also never replied to anyone in the way you are suggesting I have, unless they behaved in the exact manner I described above, and I'd enjoy it if you could find a particular thread where this wasn't the case. If you can't do it by the end of today, I will report you for harassment.

Oh please do, report me, write out a 20 paragraph report about how I called out the obvious and hurt your feelings. You Mr. GoodNews have no business trying to vape, it's not you cup of tea, go back to reviewing fine wines because your taste buds aren't down to our level.

Again PLEASE DO ME THE FAVOR OF REPORTING ME!!

You Asked Mr. GoodNews, and I challenge you to find a real professional reviewer who would respond in this manner to someone asking a question.

And I have to add here, at the time you wrote this wonderful response you had BEEN A MEMEBR HERE LESS THAN 1 MONTH! Yet you insist that by this time everyone here should already know everything about you and your techniques. Then to add fuel to your own fire you say "people should trust my techniques by now". Really, you've been a member here for less than a month and you are already that superior and trustworthy. Dude, you need to read what you write, god knows plenty of people on here have tried (to read what you write that is).

Everyone here knows that I use a Spinner-type battery at 3.3V's, and everyone should know the iClear 30's stock head ohm. I've said this in just about every post on ECF. Sure, this could look a tad detailed-less for the new reader, but I just think people should trust my techniques by now.

And what am I going to post a photo of exactly? My computer is a 1GB DDR3 Memory POS that I got for $99 at a Pawn Shop, it does horrible with the file formats and photo sizes of the camera I use in my Cinematography career, and my antique, 5-year old iPhone doesn't take photos worth seeing.

Go look somewhere else if you want a photo, and go accuse someone else who hasn't repeated their vaping techniques a billion times. Or simply go read. I've posted dozens of reviews and I do contain this information in each of them. With photos, I could make a tank, coil, or problem look like anything I wanted to in a photo if I was really out to "scam" anyone with these reviews. Someone would accuse me of that if I did. So I don't waste my time with it. There's nothing to see, usually the problems I get are a complete physical mystery.

I also do not say vendors names until I get a fully working product because I do not want to yet ruin a relationship with a vendor who may eventually help me achieve a good vape. If the final solution goes either good or bad in a "final" way, I will post the vendor's name.

Again PLEASE DO REPORT ME! Or wait, I'll go ahead and report myself.

This is just a summary. I don't have time to copy in the links, but they are your posts, so you should be able to find them easy enough. Also note that I skimmed, so i might have missed a few.

Nothing more needs to be said, as I think that YOU said it all.

I'd recommend that everyone who works at a vendor stop pretending that every product out there is perfect. MadVapes already announced that the Aurora could have a few 510 connection problems, if I'm totally not mistaken. These types of issues are something any honest vendor will honestly admit, and that any truly experienced vapor has come across in the vaping world - Phil has come across the 510 connection issue several times, and each time, it could be just the head, could be just the device.

(I will have to start reporting users before long if they become directly harassing toward my reputation and person, as I have not behaved in that manner in any single post in ECF toward any specific, implied, or even general member, unless they have done so to me first. I do not tolerate vendors who pretend to be members in order to harass and build up the reputation of products that they did not even make.)

It all adds up. I don't think any reviewer would be happy with this process, and most reviewers get their products for free, I don't bother with that, because I like to give honest reviews and I do have suspicions about some reviewers out there who do get products for free (if you see a reviewer scrunch up their face like they're fixing to puke and then claim "Oh, great vape.", something isn't exactly right...)
*
you on 11-16
and while most of the vendors try to skirt around the problem at first, when I eventually get very adamant with them about my level of vaping experience and knowledge, they finally admit to me that "faulty heads are an extreme problem" and "we've gotten entire boxes upon boxes of Protank/iClear/Whatever heads that burned up juice instantly and none of our tests could explain it." I'm actually shocked by this explanation because it's come from both big and small vendors alike, and every single vendor has said this.
*
You on 11-18
The vendor I bought it from tried to deny it and I became very approximate with them really quick. Vendors will tell you anything to keep you thinking that companies make perfect products, and the usual lines are "You screwed it in too tight, your voltage is too high, and your puff is too strong." when it is absolutely none of that. I have real vendor buddies in the real vaping world that tell me the truth about this.
*
You on 11-18
I'll also repeat: Yes, several vendors have backed me up in saying that there is a WAVE of faulty heads that immediately burn up going around the vaping industry - Kanger, Innokin, all of them have sent out extremely bad batches to vendors that I personally know and trust. I don't care what anyone says here, that's the information that I've received, and that's the description that matches my heads perfectly

I'll further repeat: No, I'm not doing anything wrong with my devices. If you want to accuse me of doing something wrong, please, pay like $600 for plane tickets and $200 for a motel, travel to where I live, help me out, and if you see that I'm performing some sort of black magic curse on my devices to purposely give negative reviews, then hey, you'll catch me in the act. Until then, either nut up or shut up. I've asked for help several times in this forum, no one wants to reply to my posts asking for help. Rarely does anyone actually know what they're talking about, and even less do the people who know what they're talking about even answer my original questions without trying to dance around facts.
*
You on 11-18
One theory, which is proven right by one member of this thread, is simply that half of the people on this entire forum work in vaping shops, and want to claim that all vaping devices are perfect so that they don't loose business. These people shouldn't even be allowed on this forum anywhere but on vendor's forums, but until they nut up enough to actually state where they work, we can't do anything about it. Otherwise, I don't believe a single person who says they've never gotten a burnt taste out of a device or a dry hit. But then again, some of these same people are using the same head for months and in that case, it sort of strikes me that some of these people may not be playing with a full deck of cards. After a few months, a coil is going to look like a charcoal briquet no matter what you do - and it's going to taste like one too. If you've smoked two packs a day for 56 years and you vape tobacco juice, maybe you like the taste, but I don't.
*
you on 11-18
That's because half the people on this forum work in (dishonest) vendor shops. It gets pretty obvious after awhile. I've had completely different attitudes and information given by vendors who are trustworthy and give me the facts straight up.
*
You on 12-02 (and as an aside, my personal favorite)
But anyways, it's fine if all the vendor-employees here dislike my reviews, it doesn't effect me in the least. I don't educate people and tell the truth for popularity with the majority and neither did Martin Luther King. My initial review on this website was honest and reflected about 14 others' experiences with the Aspire, including one of Phil's buddies, and the people who experienced the problems appreciated the honesty. I already talked with Phil and he's been inquiring to Eigate himself. I believe profoundly that most beginner-level products (virtually anything that includes coils already in the product) are %75 of the time faulty, and with my experiences, I don't encourage their use as it is.
*
You on 12-09
And all trustworthy vendors out there will say that products can be made faulty, I can go ahead and call up some buddies and ask if I can use their direct quotes with their name and vendor name in some posts if you'd like. Only a vendor employee that was not trustworthy and had money to gain would say they've never run across faulty gear or recalls. Innokin themselves recalled leaky iClear 30's not long ago, I happened to get one. There's other companies out there who've made recalls on batteries. I could go on.
*
I haven't been vaping since the dawn of time, but I've been vaping quite awhile, and to be quite frank, I'm more intelligent at this hobby that half the members on this forum who run around not knowing which end of a cleaomizer screws into a battery. I haven't learned one relevant thing about pre-built devices since even being on here. No one's given me some magic tip or trick. The technology of vaping is quite simple, and if there's any problems, it usually boils down to manufacturing flaws that a user can really only guess at and try what they can to fix.
*
I hate to sound all stuck up about that, but it's getting to a point where I have to state it. Most people get into qualms with me or my reviews because they aren't even intelligent enough to read the information I have written, and end up accusing me of being a newbie despite not even reading the testing information I have written.
*
But I know I enjoy vaping and I've simply had good results before, namely with juice bare CE5's and CE4's. Don't ask me why they always taste good, other than the possibility of those being the real devices and the shops turning around and selling clones as a trick, I just don't know. It's certainly nothing I'm doing, there's not much you can do wrong with these simple models.
*
You on 12-10
I don't dismiss anyone's advice and I usually reply to any advice given politely explaining my techniques and the mystery of why the advice doesn't work. I've never been rude to anyone concerning advice. The only time I have been rude to anyone on this forum is when I see direct quotes like "Shut up, I'm getting tired of hearing you ask questions." or "I haven't read all of your posts so, to my knowledge, you're only using a $4 cheapo clearomizer from Fasttech, so that doesn't make you a reviewer." or "There must be something wrong with you because every device in the vaping world works perfectly, especially from TheShopThatIWorkAt.com, so you must be doing everything wrong." I grow tired of that and I will be rude.

    One thing you can always count on when coming across a good news thread, a hell of a lot of reading, I fall asleep half way through a post :laugh:

    No body is saying everything is prefect out there, and of course there will be bad heads out, it's just you seem to have been able to get bad products from every vendor out there.

    You wanted to go there Mr GoodNews, so here we go.

    Until I get some deals from vendors on reviewing batteries, my faithful Twist is what I'll be using.

    You came to this forum posing as the reviewer above all reviewers then within the first day you admit your in it for some "deals from vendors on reviewing batteries". You should count yourself lucky that no one reported this particular post of yours and got you banned. You threaten to report us yet break the rules yourself, why, are your above the rules??

    For someone who ultimately doesn't vape much because of general device failure, I still know virtually everything there is to know and I've done well at keeping up with stuff.

    I don't think that quote needs any explaining. You yourself in your own words telling us you already know virtually everything there is to know.

    Yup, that'll encourage people to try and help you.....NOT.

    While I can't quote it because it was deleted, GoodNews also came here asking members to send him used devices that they had no issues with for him to try.

    I guess to rule out the possibility that he has only ever received bad product, but that good products are being shipped to other members here?

    Regardless, it was reported and deleted.

    I still believe that reviewers who want to post here should go through some sort of vetting process before they should be allowed to announce that they are reviewers.

    Clearly making the announcement that you are a "reviewer" in your first post in the New Members forum is not only, IMO, in bad taste/bad form, it also is misleading to new vapers who are looking for guidance when it comes to selecting devices, batteries, mods, etc.

    You know I have nothing to gain (or loose) from calling this guy out. I just happened upon one of his "trusted" reviews of the Iclear 30. I happen to own 4 of them and have never experienced any of the problems he reported having in his "trusted" review. I read through it with an open mind, looking to see if others were having the same experience as I was. I admit there are other reviews of the Iclear 30 that are not all puppies and rainbows but in the end the reviewer, no matter how bad the experience, said that for the money the Iclear is a decent device. I like mine, they do their job etc. However when another person questioned him on his review he went into a Kaczynski type ramble about his equipment, techniques, lack of photo's etc. At that point he not only insulted the intelligence of the person asking the question but IMO insulted the intelligence of EVERYONE reading his review.

    Then, much like the aforementioned car wreck, I just couldn't help but to look at some of his other posts. All I can say is WOW. This guy comes on here, claims to be a reviewer, professes his absolute knowledge of all things vaping, has nothing but problems, asks for opinions then shoots everybody down.

    It has now become my new form of entertainment in the evenings to look at his latest posts and again like the aforementioned car wreck, well I just can't help myself.
