elitists have to go!!!

[Nic-O-Fiend]

So this site has been more than helpful with everything and everyone although I have run into a few members who have tried to PM telling me not to vape, lol I don't even know if these guys were 10+ year cig smokers like me either but they seemed adamant on trying to deter me from vaping. Not going to name names, you know who you are but this has to stop. I think anyone who is trying to replace cigs or curve their habits should do it. obviously not 13 year olds but im in my late 20's and figure these guys should be supportive or just don't open their (MODERATED) damn mouths... Your thoughts?

just thought id tell you I was being told to leave the forum and not vape due to my enquiring about sub-ohms vaping. I know its not for everyone and you should REALLY know what your doing but you don't have to be a (MODERATED) about it ;D

If you have enough sense to post your problem here, then you probably aren't going to end up exploding. It's the guys that are trying to copy some youtuber without actually learning the dangers that we need to be concerned about.

Hi Nic-O, I am guessing this is in relation to your post regarding an ohms drop on a sub-ohm coil build. First off, no one should tell you to stop vaping, maybe stop sub-ohm vaping until you understand safety, amp draw, etc. - but not stop vaping.

Your post sounds a little precarious in the realm of understanding amp draw and some other very important safety bits, thats pretty scary. You can literally make an inadvertent pipe bomb. Placing that post in New Members is going to garner a lot of attention (next time try here Rebuildable Atomizer Systems) posting in the section garnered for your concern (especially when you are talking anything rebuildable or sub-ohm) will get you the best most direct answers related to your issue. Be thorough in your initial post - x.x Ohms on x PV with x battery with an x c rating and xyz is happening. Then members will know that you understand what you have and what its limitations are.

But again, no one should tell you to stop vaping - I am in no way agreeing with that. I think there are two very distinct visions that can be taken as to WHY you received these PMs. You are seeing one extreme and the folks who PMed are seeing the other. Either A) Ignore the messages and block the member/report if it continues or B) compose a well written response if you deem it worth your time refuting whatever gripes are being made.

Unfortunately, its the interwebz people like to gripe and argue. Dont make it an issue or allow a rise when its something that you know is unwarranted or flaming.

Hope this helps some

Based on what I have seen in some of your posts I highly doubt they were telling you to not vape. More likely to not be doing a pile of stuff that you have been doing with your coil builds. If that translates "do not vape" - so be it.

Hello CreepyLady! Very well stated.

Dear OP, I don't even post in sub-Ohm/big clouds threads anymore because I think that turning vaping into an extreme sport is inadvisable--and discussing it in the New Members forum is even more so. But it's not my place to tell other adults what they should or shouldn't do.

If somebody sends you an offensive or unwanted PM, you can put them on Ignore (in General Settings) or you can report the PM to the mods--just click on the black triangle on the bottom left side of the sender's avatar, write a complaint and let the mods deal with the situation. Starting flame wars in an open forum is just as inadvisable as trying to sub-ohm before you've gathered enough knowledge about the Ohm's Law, battery safety etc,

Good luck and happy vaping--start with a 1.8Ω stock coil and take it from there. Learn how to rebuild a Kanger coil, practice, read and learn. This is my, unsolicited, advice.

I don't know who sent you messages or why but I wonder.

Is it possible that they might think if you cause a blow up not only do you potentially hurt yourself but also help to invite restrictions?

the exact PM was you should probably not vape anymore noob. whether im new or not knowing what im doing (which is why im on this forum) that's still uncalled for.

It is, simply ignore it or report it

 

[KiwiMark]

A lot of people forget that they started from scratch once. The probably feel that their skill is why they haven't blown up, and others don't have skill like them.

 

[Bunnykiller]

knowledge is relevant ... theres always someone who will know more than me and theres always someone who will know less than me....
just keep learning.... but learn the truth in the process...

Ive seen way too many people tell others improper information that could confuse and mislead the eager student....

Agree!!

The real Q is did you get the resistance to quit doing the happy dance?

 

[8dragon9]

Ive met many vapors here irl locally and run into that sort of thing as well, just choose who you listen too...wisely...ive met someone who is very knowlegable and way over my head on all.ofnthis, but he explains things where I understand, and does give advice based on my needs and capabilities (not the cash register at the vape store) so thats my go to source when im thinking of doing.this, or trying that. The internet can be a fun river to explore but nothing matches someone who can.physically teach, and walk you through things. You want to vape sub ohm, maybe try to find someone who does it successfully, and without being high and mighty and learn from them. And keep in mind, these things are dangerous...but the dangers are typically user related.

This forum is like in everyday life. There are some people you agree with (and vise-versa) and some you don't. The difference is how you handle them. I personally don't think sub ohm builds posted in the newbie forum is right place. I have read some posts in this section that address the dangers and consequences of these builds that are meant to inform of these consequences when used in the wrong hands. These were meant to make people aware that when they don't quite understand the dangers what can result. I would hope that you would not stop vaping because someone told told you to. This is your God given right! How, when and what is your choice. Any information or question posed should not go unaddressed. No matter how perceived. We are all in this together and should act accordingly. Any information contained within this forum should be taken as informative or supportive. Anything other than that IMHO has no place here!

use the ignore feature ... I have two guys who earned their way onto mine ... the other 181,590 members have been awesome

 

[Vapoor eyes er]

Not agreeing with anyone telling you stop stop vaping but maybe a good idea to research sub ohm rebuilds further. Understand these batteries were never meant to fire regular ohms APVs/ PV= lottsa stress on the battery. Add to that using sub ohm rebuilds and the batteries are extremely stressed and can seriously malfunction in a very dangerous manner.
Maybe some are a little too critical but realize most of us just want you to have a happy and, more importantly, safe vape journey.
Best of Luck.

Ignore them and go about as you please there will always be those kind of people on forums believe me there are some bad eggs on calivapers also

They are telling you not to vape? Forget them.

I like it when people ask questions about sub-ohm vaping. It is a lot better than them doing it anyways without any knowledge... Many people say sub-ohm vaping is dangerous... well, yeah... but so is driving a car, party drinking, sexual intercourse, and many other things in life but we do them anyways and it is fine as long as we are safe about it... In fact, I sub-ohm vape pretty much exclusively. And even though I have been doing it for awhile and know my stuff, I still have some people on this forum that try to tell me to stop... I don't need some forum jockey telling me what to do and neither do you. If you have any questions about sub-ohm vaping feel free to ask me. Vape on!

 

[Revelene]

Oh, snap. . . .

 

[FourWinds]

I'm sure that peoples intention was to be helpful, and that they were just concerned about welfare, but the OP's correct to highlight that 'noob' calling doesn't quite reflect the intent.

I'm an electronics and telecoms engineer (I mean engineer), and have no issues with simple ohms law, but due to potential resistance non-linearity of hot metal, I'm not going to go past rebuilding coils until I have some mod with power as an output setting and protection (or I may buy one of those battery fuses and go mech').

 

[Ahoy]

We are all a big family in the vaping community and I don't care what the situation is, we should support one another and help guide newer vapers in the right direction. I don't mean to drag this post into sub ohm but if you TRULY want to go sub ohm then noone here can stop you. We just strongly strongly encourage reviewing all battery/mod/rda safety procedures to ensure that you don't come across a battery malfunction and have to go to the ER for battery acid on your hands. It really isn't as complicated as it seems anyways, more or less common sense, but it is still nice to read up and learn

We do have people with very strong opinions on the topic and they have the right to their own opinions however they shouldn't be talking down to you or acting as if they are higher up. If you see this, report the post/user and set them on ignore and enjoy the rest of your day because those people will only ruin it.

If you would like to talk sub ohm, we do have a RDA section that has a lot of useful threads and such.
