I am such a twit.

So here I was sitting at BWW, when a waitress I haven't had before walks up. I show her my little 402, tell her the managers have OK'd them, and she asks what it is.

Well, in my excitement to show her, I take a good hard drag off of it. And fill my freaking mouth with liquid. Yes. Go me.

In my defense, I didn't make a face. I was more concerned with not turning her off to the concept...

 

[johnny bobcat]

wow that really blows, the same kinda thing happened to me a couple times, try putting in fewer drops at a time, and just refill more often, you shouldnt be getting liquid in your mouth

 

[heath]

ugh. It's tough for me not to make a face when I get the juice lol.. Did you manage to calm your nerves and pull off a proper cloud?

 

[MercyPoetic]

Somehow yeah, I managed a good cloud and no funky face. It wasn't from too much liquid, it was more from a really hard drag out of over-eagerness...

When I see a thread title like this, I always pray that it's posted by someone I know, just so I can reply "Why yes... yes you are".

Oh, well.

Lol, it's ok. I'll accept it But ONLY because you seem (reasonably) nice...

Oh no, I'm a mean old man. Ask anyone.

 

[MercyPoetic]

Despite the "Big Meanie" under your name, I have yet to see you yell at anyone so no, I'm pretty sure you're nice

Don't you know it's not possible to be nice when you're a moderator? We're all power mad and crotchety!

So all mods are 80 and bitter?

Not bitter, per se... more salty. But we all suffer from early onset crotchetiness. So we get it at half the age.

 

[Oliver]

bitter as e-liquid, don't you know , and that's not even mentioning admin mwahahaha

 

[Chefdeuce]

You two are too funny.
I'm glad you were able to save grace in front of the waitress!
Way to stick it out

 

[AngusATAT]

Most people don't know it, but SJ is an evil slave driver who forces us to do terrible things. We have to obey, or... well, it's just unspeakable...

I gotta go... I've said too much...






*Edit - I seriously hope folks know I'm joking here. SJ is really a very nice guy.

Thanks! Me too, I would have hated to turn her off to it...

And I'm still not seeing the salty bit

How many hours a day do moderator have to stay on the forum. I assume this is a nonpaying job. What constitues closing a thread. Why can some people use suggestions of bad language and others get a warning.

Is I fun being a moderator. How do you become one?

Wow... a lot of questions... let's see what I can do.

How many hours a day? It varies. Some folks like me spend way too much time here, others spend a few hours a day.

Yes, it's a non-paying job. We're volunteering our time.

Closing a thread... lots of reasons for this. Could be that folks go overboard with it, could be because of the subject matter, could be because the person who posted the thread wanted to close it. There are many reasons.

As far as "Why can some people use suggestions of bad language and others get a warning?" is concerned... well, we can't see everything. If people find an offensive post, they should report it for the moderators to take a look at. Sometimes we will catch it on our own, but we also have to rely on the community to help out.

Is it fun? It's mostly boring, and it's work. There are times when it's fun, though.

How to become a moderator? We're picked by the admin staff for one reason or another, such as being very helpful to others, or experience with forum management. It really depends.

Hope that answers your questions.

I think the thread might have gotten derailed a bit. Sorry! Let's get it back on track.

 

[MercyPoetic]

Um, I don't guess we HAVE to... considering the original thought was me being dumb...

But as a side note on the original, the liquid tastes God awful!

 

[butchrobotpope]

The first time my pv leaked liquid it was just a bit onto my lip. It was nasty and I wiped it off - no big deal.

The second time, I got a nasty squirt which coated my tongue! And, of course, this was while I was showing it off to someone. Seriously, the nastiest thing I've ever had on my tongue. Ugh.

And on the mod/admin side of things: I am continuously amazed by the level of support that my fellow vapers have in this site. So, kudos to you dedicated mods/admins who keep it running.

Cheers!
