Let's just hope people have enough sense to keep their noses out of where it doesn't belong now. I mean we only need 1 forum where people can be berated, bashed, insulted and forced to defend themselves for the way they choose to vape. Fortunately for the provarinati, they tend to defend themselves in text very well.

LOL, good luck with that!
 
The only other discussion I've read through 11 pages of posts is the equally contentious and opinionated PUBLIC VAPEING thread, and I loved every post in both! We Vapers all have valid thoughts and RANTS about the Vape Culture we belong to, and all of us have the right to vent every once and a while. Isn't that why we are all here? As the next Graduating Class of Second Class Citizens, who else can we talk trash to but each other? Who else can we unload on and in so doing expect forgiveness because we are all in the same boat? What one Vaper sees' as an insult, others see as unsensored CONCERN(FEAR) for brash and unharnessed conduct. We just all don't know how to be politically correct,speak softly or show concern in the same way! But as long as ECF exhists this is where we all will congregate and on occasion step on each others Toes!! We are after all Vape Comrades ALL!! :) :2c: :2c: :2c: Sombody mentioned inflation! :)

This is ECF.
This is a community dedicated to education of new and avid vapers alike.
The main concern of this community [up until recently it seems] is to help you get off and stay off the death-in-a-box we refer to as analogs.
No one wants to hear about your cloud chasing competitions.
No one wants to hear about your .000000012 ohm coils on your stacked 26650 batteries, that you cooly brush off because "NO, THATS THE CONTINUOUS AMP LIMIT BRO!"
There are plenty of places on facebook where the masses of uninformed and reckless "cloud-chasers" will gladly applaud your ridiculously unsafe attempt to turn yourself into a human fog machine.
Do i like clouds?
Do i like a big hot vape?
Hell yes i do.
do i run around a community of people that have taken me from 2 packs a day to quit for a year and flaunt ignorance by building these ridiculous setups all in the name of saying" MY CLOUD IS TOTALLY BIGGER!"?
No, because i respect this community and its dedication to safety.
Go back to facebook.
end rant.

amen :thumb:

Oh my, you really are going to blow a gasket now:

Cloud Chasers
Perfect!

a) Helps get the subject off the most active and susceptible subforums (New Members and General Vaping)
b) And provides a way to give a large warning directed right at newbie potential sub-ohmers.

Further proof that when good ideas are offered, the folks at ECF listen.

USA. State: Inebriated.
Just saying:

All the cloud competition threads I've seen consist of people talking about the event, the positives and negatives, the experience.

I've never seen any posts of people talking of .000000012 ohm coils (and I realize that's an exaggeration). Even people who post about coils that go beyond the amp limit usually get their fair share of berating/telling-off. So the community is servicing people by providing them with safety tips/insults to prevent a potential tragedy.

You have this implication that any clouds = unsafe clouds, or maybe that anyone who isn't you is doing it unsafely. I don't understand this. The majority of people producing clouds ARE informed about the safety aspects of it. Most people do realize that the amp limits of their batteries only allow for so low of an ohm build.

The people who come here and post about unsafe things get told in very plain English that what they're doing is unsafe. On Facebook, there's a larger audience, and the people who say, "This is unsafe," usually don't get heard (the "vocal minority" is a big thing in the vape community).

For the most part, I hope people come here with their unsafe builds. I want to hear about the ridiculous stress people are putting on their batteries. So I can tell them what they're doing is wrong, and that they're going to hurt themselves if they don't heed the warnings. This is the place where you CAN get told what you're doing is unsafe. Not Facebook, or Instagram, or YouTube. That's where people go to blow up batteries and have comments that say, "Haha now try and go lower!" (Although to be honest, even on YouTube videos where people are sub-ohming unsafely, they often get flamed to all-hell).

So idk man. I don't agree with your sentiment. The more unsafe vapers head here to tell us about their dumb builds, the more people will leave knowledgeable and safer. You can blow huge clouds and still be 100% safe about it.
