I don't mind postage too much, if it's around $5 for Priority Mail and the item ships the same or next day. Because of some medical conditions, I'm not allowed to drive, so given the choice between $5 and waiting a few days and $3.00 to spend hours riding the bus... I'm okay with the $5. I'd be even cooler if Amazon went back to allowing e-cig sellers to use "fulfilled by Amazon" shipping and my Prime membership would cover 2 day UPS delivery. (Yes, my first Njoy in 2009 shipped overnight for $3.99 through Amazon and I used the Prime 2 day for carts.) Fortunately, I'm getting a brick and mortar shop within walking distance soon...

One of my big peeves is batteries... so far, I've only used AW IMRs in various sizes and haven't found them to be very consistent in quality. I've owned Sanyo Eneloops in all my battery-operated devices for years and done some pretty horrific things to them and they remain consistent. Granted, vaping and stuff like a Wii remote are very different things, but I think we'd be better off if we could buy Eneloops for our PVs.

My biggest peeve, though, is attys. I love to drip and use atties all the time... I agree with the person here who said "the life of an atty is between 6 minutes and six months." More important... I've never met an atty that was as good on Day 3 as it was on Day 1, no matter how I try to clean it. It may seem okay... but I always find that an atty is never as good as it after a few hours out of the box. Again, that could be me... I think I get them too hot or something. Or maybe it's the way I random vape. But even with my Provari and two attys that measure at the same Ohms used at the same voltage, I can easily tell the difference between one that's just getting broken in and one that's just a few days old.

That's what I think. It's probably just me.

I hate when I have to order three small things, and they're all from different vendors.

+2 I hate not being able to get everything from one vendor.....I guess MadVapes comes the closest but with their popularity I find a lot of things out-of-stock and find myself having to either wait until they have it again or go somewhere else....

I hate that I can't go to a Brick and Mortar to look/feel/try a new PV before dropping a mortgage payment on hardware

I feel this way, except for with juices. I would buy more if I could taste test & find what I like, instead of being stuck with a little bottle I cannot stand (that is only $2.50 for the 3ml, but $5 for shipping!!!)

Having just shipped something, unfortunately that IS the cost of shipping. Yes it sucks.

I can't stand the fact that I want a drip tip to MATCH every flavor juice I have, lmbo!!!

I also can't stand that I'm constantly seeing something new I want to buy!! Now I have my eye on a Darwin...when will it end???

I hate that vaping has turned me into a shopaholic and a borderline hoarder!

1. Re-branding. If you're trying to sell me an eGo/kr808/RN4081 with your house label on it, tell me so I know what parts I can use with it.

2. Having to type in my zip code AND my state. OK, maybe there are some zip codes that cross state lines. Mine doesn't.

3. It's the 21st century, for crying out loud. Why are no vendors offering shipping via matter transmission/teleportation/wormhole technology? They could at least offer delivery via flying car.

I hate it when a beginner asks a question on the forum and someone self-righteously asserts there's only one right PV/carto/juice. I especially hate it when it's one I tried and know is absolute crap, but I'm too nice of a guy to post what a blithering idiot they are.

I hate that I started vaping only as a way to save money, and it's turned into a 'hobby' that's taken over my desk, my workbench, two of my tool boxes, a shelf in my fridge, and a shelf by my bed.

I hate that vaping-associated things keep pointing out my personal failings (i.e. making PV holders, as an alternative to ashtrays, shows my molding/sculpting/painting skills are on a par with a backwards third-grader; making an adapter to automatically burn the gunk off of CE2 coils reminded me that I gave up electronics as a hobby because I can no longer solder without splattering hot metal over everything; etc. etc. etc.).

I hate that juice gives off some kind of ink-destroying aura so the bottles of perfectly labeled flavors I mix up are indistinguishable from each other the next day.

I hate that there's always one more thing I need to make so all the vaping-associated stuff is less of a hassle, but getting all the supplies/tools/designs/etc. lined up turns into a project rivaling the Allied preparations for D-Day.

I hate that I always have nineteen things I want to say on the forum, and they all completely disappear from my brain at the exact second I log in.

I hate it when I blow my buds out with too many different flavors.

I didn't even know this was possible, but it happened to me today. I was switching my four cartos around trying to decide which one I wanted to vape and all of a sudden, I couldn't taste anything. I couldn't distinguish one flavor from the next. I was like, WTF?! So I just stopped vaping for about half an hour or so and all was good again. So there's my contribution to this thread. I hate it when I can't taste my flavors! Lol.

I hate that I'm hooked on a flavor/brand that only offers it in 24mg and I have to sit here and cut it down to 18mg.

I also hate od'ing on nic. I almost did it again last night.

I hate that my e-cig does not act as bug repellant. :-/


I hate that I can do a full workout on the incline trainer and not be out of breath! And I hate that I can sing better. I hate not having that beautiful layer of ashes across my dashboard. I hate not smelling like an ashtray. So sad.
