I'm nothing if not persistant, Robin's first Big Thread post. A star is born.
Heather's Heavenly Vapes - THE BIG THREAD
Heather's Heavenly Vapes - THE BIG THREAD
Applause, applause! For your persistence and for our Star!
I made it to page 137 before I pooped out, and she showed up on 154. It was 3 am here, so not too wimpy. ECF has rudimentary search tools in its forum platform. Seemed to be even less helpful in the archive section.
You and Ed were hilarious on the first pages. Everyone was.
I emailed RJ a coupla days ago , haven't gotten a reply yet . I might have an old number to try .
I talked Robin through a mini anxiety attack during her first build on a Kayfun , seems like ages ago .Love those old posts. Her and I vaping Fruit juices... Cinful Pear for me, Nice Pear for her
Those first couple of years here were a whirlwind of activity. For a long time there were a good 200+ posts a day every day. We had a few days of over 500. You'd hit refresh and there'd be 15 new posts to read. Five different conversations going on at the same time. We even had a night shift that was headed by Phil (Z-Ghost), Hula, and Bivie...among others. You'd log in the next morning and there'd be another 50 posts to read. Hula was as nutty then as she is today. You kinda hoped she would keep the guys in check and it turned out they had to keep her in check. Of course Robin was a part of all that history. Yes, the thread name changed after a couple years. The thread quickly revolved around ALL HHV flavors, not just tobacco so it seemed only appropriate to change it. It was somewhere around this time of year in 2012 when Gandygate broke out. So that's chronicled in there somewhere. We weren't in any subforum then. Just a thread in the general ECF forum. They didn't know what to do with us so they threw us in an ECF subforum then Adam bought us up a bit later and the rest is history including the addition of a lot more great friends who are still with us today. Gee, we've been through a lot in six years when you look back. Lots of highs, and lots of lows.
GT and I would meander around other threads raising hell. We were on a Vivi Nova thread when we discovered Robin just kind of floating around finding her way like everyone else. We instantly liked her (I know, surprising).
It was sweet seeing everyone’s excitement when Heather released a new flavor! Of course, that also makes me madder at the FDA. Seeing you welcome new people and coordinating the Army’s flavor recommendations for each newbie. I loved all the discussions about nuances of flavors!
When the deeming hit, Heather was pretty devastated that she couldn’t create anymore flavors. That was her great love in HHV. It was like they’d stolen her place in her own business from her.
I listened to a podcast recently where the guy being interviewed said the FDA shutdown the community aspect of the vape world first. No more employees talking about the benefits of vaping or helping with builds. Removing new products and flavors is a big part of that.
Anyway, reading back through those high times is still fun.

Aha! I was so curious which flavor ended up doing it for you. I think I stopped where your first order had just arrived but you hadn’t tried them yet.
It was a different time. I love how Ed is complaining on page five or so about how some other thread gets de-railed and they all end up talking about pets etc... and here we are, 6 years later doing that very thing!Applause, applause! For your persistence and for our Star!

I do miss the anticipation of finding new juices and devices. I learned the hard way about clones, I’ll always thank GT for pointing out my mini nova was t real. I had no idea that stuff happened.
Two cute moments for you: when you apologized for intruding in the Thread when you noticed the name was “tobaccos” and you didn’t like tobacco flavors. And then when Ed posted a hello to you and you didn’t know how he knew you were on the thread.

I complained about that a couple times (referring mostly to the Natural Tobacco thread). Eleanor finally had enough and ripped me a new one.

But in the most politest way!!!
wat is dat ?New people should ask Bronze about Gandygate.
Robin, this millennial post is dedicated to you!!! ECF in general, and the HHV Forum in particular, would not be the same without you! We all love you!!
(Hopefully, someone who knows how to do it can help pretty this up. I'm an idiot about such things.)
[Happy to help @Pappy! —edited by LAwaters]
