HateVaping?

[Shellie]

Just wondering....do you think these online stores make up their own reviews?? I got a 6 sample bottle from Seduce Juice and they are all so-so. Not horrible, but if you read ALL of their reviews these people are sayings this is the absolute BEST liquid on the market.

I've only been vaping for a little over a week and have only tried 2 juice vendors, so I'm still waiting to try that EPIC juice and I may not taste that until I get into to RTA and RDAs

My thought on this is that people comment when they love something. When they don't love it, they have a tendency to just walk away without saying anything at all. So it's possible that all those people DID love the juice, and others just never commented.

For me, I do hatevape, and I do mix from time to time. Unfortunately for me, what I mixed is just as bad as the juices were themselves! It's funny how I can love one juice from a vendor, and hate another from the same vendor. But now I've learned to hatevape when I've vaped too much (in my opinion for myself) that day, and just put a tank of something I don't like in there to keep me from vaping way too much more! LOL (Also works well on days when i'm not tasting much)

I can never bring myself to dump perfectly good nicotine even when suspended in toxic goo. I try to give it away when I get a chance or try it again from time to time. But yea I have got a handfull of bottles that most sane people would have washed down the drain long ago and I hang on to them JUST IN CASE!!!

"Hatevaping" is like walking around with a stone in your shoe. Its what got me into DIY.

I don't think the online stores make up their own review...I do think they can choose NOT to display poor reviews though, as I always notice a lag on most websites from when I post a review to when they actually display. Goes to the webmaster for "moderation".

Taste is subjective.
I went to Vape blast 2 in San Antonio last night and sampled a TON of money juice. Some vendors were just not for me. With someone "In your face" I find it easier to be honest. They were all very understanding of "that's not for me."
The best part of sampling juice there was that most had sample mech with a 0.5 build in a tobh. I would have preferred a regulated mod, as some mechs had technical difficulties (low battery/finicky locking ring).
Most of my hate vaping was done on juice that tasted good in the store, but nasty when I brought it home... Either I got sick of it quick, or I just didn't like it even after a good steep.
There are some flavors I ordered when venturing out of my usual flavor profile that are unvapeable even with the worst case of vapers toung... I try to kill a bottle between orders so it doesn't go to waste... #hatevape

Not sure if I'm coining a new term or not......
...I call this "HateVaping"....

heh-heh
I think you may well have coined a new vaping term! And a good one at that.

I've been told many times that I must have Scots blood in my family tree, I can go to some silly lengths to avoid waste.

Vaping a liquid I don't care for is one endeavor that foils any Scots heritage I may have. Can't do it.
Drink an entire glass of Budweiser, finish a pack of chicken dogs.... sure.
Not so good vape juice, in the bin!

While that is very true that they can pick choose and refuse i have read reviews on some websites that were not positive; advising people to try something else or not bother with it. I think some sites may get so much traffic that moderating all reviews would simply just be too cumbersome. Also, the integrity of the vendor would play into it as well since you can't please everyone all the time as they know as well that taste is subjective

I have a 30ml bottle that I dump the tiny remainders into when a bottle is almost empty. Every once in a while I will drip a bit just to see. About 75% of the time it is disgusting, but the other 25% of the time it actually surprises me. The bottle is labeled "Bar Mat Shot". If you have ever bartended, you will understand this one.

Now I know exactly what to do with that last little bit of coffee liqueur and the smidge of black clove.
We need to start a thread called the ECF tip of the day. I hereby nominate this as tip of the day for Saturday, August 16th, 2014. [emoji3]
Fab idea!

You're absolutely right about that.
There was a juice that everybody else was giving thumbs-up and 5 stars to that I reviewed as less than stellar. While they referred to said juice as the best thing since vaping began, to me it was like vaping patchouli. [emoji13] Major disappointment, given the hype, but its actually improved after almost 2 months, and now I occasionally hit it. But needless to say, my review never saw the light of day. Maybe I just got an "off" batch?

Another idea for a disgusting juice... One guy in my office seems to always "run out of juice" at work. He will ask me "Can a get a bit of juice to make it to 5?" Then he proceeds to fill up his KayFun 3.1 clone until it wants to overflow. I have started keeping a bottle of juice here that I concocted "just for him." About 20/80 pg/vg, NO nicotine, and a mixture of peach, absinthe, maraschino cherry, coffee, toasted marshmallow, and grape. I kept adding flavors and dripping SMALL amounts until I decided it was gross enough to bring in. It is HORRIBLE. He keeps bumming, keeps getting the same. I wonder if he will ever catch on???

It's funny, the one exception I saw to this as far as reviews was Mount Baker - they do seem to let some negative ones slide in....for me, that makes all the reviews more believable as a whole -

I wish I could "hatevape," I really do . . .

But nearly 3.5 years into this, I've decided that Life is Too Short to vape bad juice!

(It helps that I've found a few vendors and about 15 juices that I absolutely adore! )

Hatevaping can turn a despised juice into an adv... sometimes ;-)

So maybe you could share the love with a noob that's still looking for some juice/venders to lavish with adoration? [emoji6]
While I do have a couple from Magical Mist and ITC Vapes that I absolutely adore and can't live without on a daily basis, I'm always looking for others to add to my growing little ADV family. [emoji1]

My main vendor is Ahlusion.us; I also rely on Vermillion River for their Cherry Heat!

A lot of my hate vape nowadays rhymes with "Salt Shaker" - they work ok in a tank, but good lord, dripping really exposes the low quality of the base....but ymmv

I think you're spot on there, I used to really love it in carto-tanks, but once switching to rebuildables it's all really cloying and offensive tasting. I had a few hundred mills I gave away to people who vape clearos and the like, they loved it, and taking some puffs from their devices it really doesn't taste bad at all. Haven't tried it again in something like a kayfun, too scared

If I'm in the mood for dirt cheap juice now I head to the local corner market that sells "Aer" juice, their Lychee is really natural tasting and not the super sweet candy flavors like most cheap juice. Only tried a few of their juices but the Lychee really impressed me, I wouldn't have had a problem if it was in a glass bottle at the local vape shop for close to a dollar a mil.

As far as hate vaping, that's the type of thing that used to send me back to cigarettes. I realized a long time ago if I don't have juice I totally love, I quickly start to despise vaping. It's always a funny situation when a friend offers you some free juice, which is actually juice you gave to another friend, who then gave it away to him because it was horrid. Had a bottle of tutti fruity juice that made the rounds like 3 times before we tossed it. Good juice for good health!

Ha ha....It not the easiest thing in the world- to be a thrifty vapor!

However.... its much easier today to be thrifty. When I started vaping, the industry was still relatively new and information was just not available as it is today. World class vendors that exist today didn't hit the scene yet. I'm embarrassed to say how much I spent in the early years trying to find the "perfect" hardware and liquids. ECF has grown into such a wonderful tool..... it provides us with tons of data to help us make smarter buying decisions.

Find other vapers with similar tastes and read, read, read. The more you learn about vaping, the more you'll save. I've tried my best to learn by other's mistakes and victories.... Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't- however it will reduce your financial risk

I love it HateVaping! LOL! I've been in some spots where I've had to HateVape juices that I'll mix together and aren't that great. When I mix my juices and they don't taste great I call my mix sludge. I usually HateVapeSludge when I have Vaper's tongue LOL!
@GMayberry, I hate ejuice bums! Loved your story!
#HateVapingSludgeWitEJuiceBums Blahahaha

Im hatevaping a few juices right now as I have yet to find my ADV after 3months. Unfortunately for me the few juices I do like are all expensive and it's not payday yet .
