Forum Observation

[doghair]

I have been on a few and I have to say this is totally friendly and helpful. On many forums there is a lot of flaming and overall negativity. I notice that repeat questions are common but there is very little of the usual smack down. I never would have guessed that so many people quitting smoking would be so mellow, you'd figure you would all be ripping each others head off ... lol

Great place you have here, I'm learning a lot.

Welcome, DogHair. This board is moderated efficiently and those who break the rules too many times find themselves off the board. It's run well and the moderators are reasonable and effective.

Good point.
Many have found their vape and don't have a fit.

I agree. That's why I settled here. Down side of here is that everyone IS so helpful, I have spent a metric .... ton on mods, tanks, juice, and rebuilding supplies his month. The recommendations I personally get and seeing the experiences of other makes me want to try everything. On the upside of that though, I have been able to get quality gear from reputable vendors, so I'm not just chucking money in a hole and being frustrated that nothing works right.

Welcome doghair -

Really, most people here are very mellow and extremely helpful.. like anywhere, you'll find the occasional troll or just plain old .... orifice, but they are few and far between and normally don't stay long..

Now how dare you disrupt my train of thought with such crap this early in the morning..

Oh yeah, flying the PGR banner gets you an extra 1.25 points in my book.. ride with pride brother

^^^ This sums it up pretty well. Once in a while a troll or two will pop in, but the moderators put an end to it. Just about all of us understand what it's like to struggle with cigarettes, and how on edge a person can get. Helping a person find something that works is much more fruitful than a flame with tons of obscenities

^^^THIS!!!

And if I may, speaking for myself of course, I think we all know how difficult it is to quit analogs and we all kinda have the same feeling as the new comers at one point. All the questions about hardware, juice and the process. Then we look at our success and we want you to have the same one.....because we know its hard (for some).

So welcome, and be nice now!!!

I agree. This forum has been a wealth of information which has saved me from making ill-informed purchases as I am still very new to vaping.

Welcome to the family We all are here for the same reason - to stay off of cigarettes - we all have teh same general goals so why not be nice and help each other? This forum is seriously the best, we don't care if you ask the same ohm question 10 different ways...we don't care if you don't know why your clearo is flooding when you fill it down the center post..we'll explain that all. No reason to get up in a puff about this, we shoudl do everything we can do to help smokers stay off of cigarettes.

 

[skoony]

yea,
i've been to that other forum too.
welcome aboard.

regards
mike

 

[LoriVanPelt]

well darling, the reason we do not rip each other's heads off is because we have upgraded from stinkies to something much much better.. VAPING... it is like going from eating vienna sausages to prime rib... happy vaping and welcome to the club my friend

Glad you're enjoying the ECF experience! As it's been mentioned already by DaveP... That kind of NewbAbuse isn't tolerated here! And most realize that it's not easy to navigate the metropolis that is ECF so patience is practiced here.
Vape on

 

[Jarbs]

yea, the positivity weirded me out too at first.

 

[Muggs]

You know I'm with on that observation. For such an active open forum people are very cool here and more than willing to help. That includes myself of course, haha. It is funny how so many people quitting smoking together in 1 place is so calm. I guess it just goes to show how affective vaping is at helping people quit while keeping them sane at the same time.

 

[kates]

+1 from me. I've just registered but have been vaping for 10 months and have found lots of great info and advice. Great to have somewhere to get answers in a positive way - it can be a bit of a steep learning curve to start with!

 

[Australe]

Welcome
Everyone here has been most helpful with helping me to quit smoking analogs. You've found a good place as far as I'm concerned!

 

[UnclePsyko]

yea, the positivity weirded me out too at first.

Well... We have to gain your trust before we let you have it!

gooble-gobble... one of us, one of us!

 

[DaveP]

Once in a while one of the mods will reveal the number of members on ECF. Last I heard it was 90,000 registered, but every time I hear the new number I'm amazed at how fast it's growing.

 

[bosun]

Yep, a lot of good, knowledgeable people here! We are all here fighting the fight to finally quit the coffin nails. Trying to figure out the techno-babble/secret language of vaping is one of the biggest steps in vaping!
