Muhahahahahahaha....it's all part of the master plan - the Great Cycle of Zen~
You see, first, you ask questions.
Then, you get directed to the FAQ.
Then, you ask more questions.
Then, you get directed to read this or that post.
Then, you get tired of asking questions and waiting for responses so you decide to just read the whole damn
thread.
Then, you see someone else ask a question.
Then, you direct them to the FAQ....
You see? You pass it on to the next newbie as it was passed on to you.
Now, young Initiate, you might understand this Koan of Zen~:
The Wrong Question
A novice Zenfidel was running about in a state of great agitation with his brand new Zenesis in his hands when he spied a Zen~ master strolling down one of the paths in the Sanctuary. The novice sprinted after him, breathlessly shouting, "Master! Master help me please!".
The Zen~ master turned to regard the disheveled novice. With a trace of amusement in his voice he asked, "What is the problem, young Initiate?"
The novice said. "O master, I am in need of wisdom for I have received my Zenesis but I am confused. What size of mesh should I roll for the wick? How many Ohms does this setup have? How many watts and volts must I apply?"
The Zen~ master looked kindly upon the novice and smiled. "Why do you seek these answers, young Initiate?"
The novice looked affronted. "Why...to achieve vaping enlightenment, of course!", he retorted.
The Zen~ master's smile widened slightly. "Then you ask the wrong questions", he replied.
The novice replied indignantly, "What do you mean? I have asked for everything I need to calculate the parameters of The Perfect Vape!"
"No", replied the master sadly. "You ask the same questions and seek the same answers that have blinded you and produced unsatisfying vapes for so long. How can one who asks the wrong question receive the correct answer?" The master sighed and looked the novice squarely in the eye, "Only when you let go of ohms, volts, watts, and calculations will understand that the answer is the vape itself."
"What? The wrong question? 'The vape itself'?" the Zenfidel sputtered, "I do not understand, O master."
The master smiled again. "No, not yet. But you shall. Now; vape your Zenesis. Does it not taste wonderful? Does it not create prodigious vapor?"
The novice nodded thoughtfully as he exhaled a cloud of vapor, "Yes, master; indeed it does."
As the Zen~ master turned and continued his walk, he called over his shoulder, "Then you have had the answer all along. Now you can begin to wrap the coils of your mind around that truth."

No waste whatsoever.
