Hello and nice to meet you! It is perfectly fine to love your ProThingy, I love mine too.
You will be labeled a fan boy if you: go to the New Member forum, jump into a thread without reading the original question, see that the members are currently trying to explain mAh to the OP and state that the new member should get a ProVari/Vamo/Whatever (no matter what the limit of his/her budget), because everything else is junk and they will end up with one anyway. If someone points out that suggesting an advanced mod isn't appropriate for the new member's situation, you continue by saying that Twists and Spinners are cheap Chinese cr@p and the OP will have to replace them every few months at $25. a pop, instead of just replacing the batteries. And then you zip off of the thread leaving the rest of us to explain that with a mod they would have to buy a charger, batteries, back-up batteries and still have to have money left over for something to put on top of it and juice. Plus, by now VV/VW trolls have likely been attracted to the thread and will fight until the thread is shut down.
A fanboy/girl leaves a new member even more confused and implies that if a person can't afford a ProVari/Vamo/Whatever their only option is to buy junk that will break and may blow up. Fanboys argue and possible insult members who are offering the new member advice that is actually relevant. Fanboys don't take into consideration how fortunate they are to be able to afford a cool mod, which isn't true for a lot of people. They also forget that at first people often are skeptical that vaping will really work and are reluctant to buy expensive gear. Fanboys love their mod, they think it's the best in the world; it may well be, but if a family is at a used car lot looking at cars in their price range and a guy pulls up in a Mercedes and tells them all other cars are junk, he is a fanboy. Actually, he is something else, but I can't post that word here.
If a New Member posts that they are looking for a high-end mod and would like recommendations, telling them all the reasons you like yours is not being a fanboy - although the VV/VW trolls may accused you of being one.
