When someone that you got hooked on PV's gives you a 510 kit that you in turn PIF to a single mother trying to quit smoking, suddenly turns on you after 2 weeks and demands money because her husband says she shouldn't give things away.

I hate that some people are actually like that! Grrr

A serious pet peeve of mine is that the E-cig, after several years, has not reached its potential reliability level. We still have to blow out, clean, dry burn, fiddle with delivery systems, and modify them to get them to work. This alone pushes some people back to tobacco. At least a cigarette is reliable and predictable. Some people don't want to fiddle with a device to get it to work properly.

Threads where people are raving about a particular juice --

"Oh, it's awesome, I could vape it for years straight"

"It's SO GOOD"

"I love it and would give away my first born child for a bottle"

...and then someone says, "Eh, I don't really like it"

"THAT ISN'T HELPFUL TO JUST SAY YOU DON'T LIKE IT, YOU HAVE TO SAY WHY YOU DON'T LIKE IT AND WHAT JUICES YOU USUALLY VAPE AND WHAT EQUIPMENT YOU'RE USING AND HOW OLD YOU ARE AND HOW WELL YOU DID ON THE SAT'S TASTE IS SUBJECTIVE!!!!!"

It's doesn't seem like anyone who goes on this tirade is aware of the double standard.

They've come a long way since 2008...I'm lovin it.
I have a feeling that an epipe will require less fiddling than a tobacco pipe.

Todays peeve: paypal and ebay banned ecigs in 2009.

I hate that I've barely gotten any work done since discovering these forums.

I hate that my new addiction is trying out every brand of battery/carto/juice i can find and yet I keep falling back to my favorites every time, leaving the new gear to gather dust.

I hate that the new 808 batteries that I love the feel of, dont reach a voltage high enough to vape my favorite cartos properly, and I hate that my favorite juice doesn't vape well in any other cartos I've tried.

I hate when my gf asks how much money I've spent on vaping gear so far.
I hate how much money I've spent on vaping gear so far.
I hate that I don't have more money to spend on vaping gear.

I REALLY hate how long it takes a boat to get to V4L from China

One more peeve then I'm off for the night.

I hate when the postman delivers a package from China that I have to sign for and says "you be careful with that"
WTH does he think is in there?:blink:

I don't say anything, I just sign my name and take my package in the house. I peer around carefully to make sure nobody sees and close the blinds. :blush:

I CAREFULLY rip off the paper and unroll 14 1/2 feet of bubble wrap. The precious is here! The precious!!!!

Goofy postman.:p

Here's a new one:
I hate that I have a gallon of pg, a gallon of vg, Plenty of unflavored nic juice, empty dropper bottles, syringes, and about 4 dozen unopened bottles of concentrated flavorings, and I'm afraid to try diy-ing my own juice for fear of concocting a disaster! I'll try it tomorrow, yeah, yeah, maybe...

BTW, I also hate all the other stuff that everyone hates!

    Ah, you just want to try mixing little 1-3 ml little disasters at a time. If it's just a little strong, you leave it open for a while on the disaster cleanup shelf. Remember, Schnauzberries weren't concocted in a day! (prolly more like dingleberries the first couple-a tries.) :)

    I hate that there are so many options for vaping and so little funds to find the sweet spot.

    I hate it when someone asks the same question on a dozen different threads and doesn't appear to check to see if it has ever been answered.

    And along the same line, when they are told to read a thread, and they obviously read the first post, then ask a question that has already been answered on that thread.

    And along the same line, when after hundreds of posts and months of membership, they still haven't figured out how to do a simple search. :facepalm:

    OK, the "answer man" is a bit frustrated this week :) I also want to clarify, this IS NOT directed to any particular poster, and some of it is from what I observed and didn't participate in, but I feel better now.
