Everything is Perfect!

[AJMoore]

I love all my equipment, all my juices, all the vendors. I've never had a moment of distress, never a shipment that didn't arrive the next day, sometimes the same day (sometimes through the INTERNET instantly). There are no vendors like e cig vendors, they are perfect.

What's going on here? Well, not much if you're looking to learn. This is a forum, not a popularity contest. We're here to learn, make friends (sometimes enemies) and to help and advise each other. Why is it in such bad form to tell honestly about your opinions/experiences with a vendor?

They aren't perfect, we're not perfect, it's just an individuals experience. Take it for what it is and be glad someone took the time to post the information. Do not trash or belittle a person who has had a less than perfect experience with a vendor that you happen to be best friends with or have only had stellar transactions with.

Honestly, if I read only outstanding reviews of a product/vendor I think I'm being had. I'm in the market for a Droid, I look at the reviews, most positive and a sprinkling of negative. The negative is very important to me, most times the issues aren't something I care about or would keep me from getting the product but thankfully it is there so I can make up my own mind.

New rule, NO BAD reviews, we're blind and don't want to hear it.

Whenever I'm interested in a new device or accessory, call it "XYZ, I always Google "XYZ sucks" in search of the downsides. I figure that if nobody hates a thing that it hasn't been on the market long enough to have been thoroughly tested. Sometimes I get caught up in being part of that "first wave" of people who buy and end up not liking something (Smartcarts, for instance) and having a huge supply of them to my regret, but I usually try to sit out the "wave of hype" on new products.

More in line with what you're saying above, sometimes it's good to realize that you're not the only person who's not completely satisfied - I like my eGo-T well enough, it beats my 510 stuff, but reading how fragile the atomizers can be motivated me to buy spares from day one and limited my frustration when I inevitably burned out the first one within days of getting it.
