One word.

Baditude*

Thanks Bad, you helped me too. You put me on to that Spinner kit that is sitting in a drawer gathering dust

I'm kidding, 10K posts is seriously dedicated to the cause.

 

[Ryedan]

Congrats on 10,000 Bad! You've helped more people around here than anyone else I know. Keep up the great work

Congratulations on your 10,000th post. You are a beacon of wisdom in the waters of the New Members thread. Your advice on toppers and batteries have taught more people how to start vaping than dozens of pages reading the info section and perusing vendors' sites. Thank you for the time you spend with the new members. You are one of the main people who helped me early on.

Thank you.

Way to go!! You are a huge asset here. Glad we have you around!

CONGRATS, Bad!!!
You've helped out a LOT of folks....especially ME!!
Just a reminder....IIRC, after 20,000 posts....you get a toaster......!!!
Too bad posts aren't like S&H Green Stamps*!!
(* - If you have to ask....you're TOO YOUNG!!)
May ALL your vapes be GREAT!!

 

[pesky_human]

You have been responsible for more successful conversions to vaping as anybody here. Congrats, sir!

I totally remember my mother saving those growing up and watching the cash registers popping them out at the IGA grocery store. We're both showing our age here.

With this post, I've reached a new milestone. 10,000 posts on ECF!

I hope I've been able to help members here with most of them.

Good stuff, brother. Shame they don't count all the Private Messages you have spent hours on with folks individually, helping them with questions they were too ashamed to ask inpublic or needed your personal attention/opinions. I always tried to avoid bugging you for help in the past but the few times I did, you gave each and every PM your full attention, inevitably leading me to where I am today.

Thanks, RHP. It's true. I receive on average 10 PMs a day with individuals asking for advice or other information. It sometimes gets to be a problem when I don't get a chance to thin out my mailbox because after awhile it gets too full to take any more PMs. Twice this week friends have had to tell me in the forum threads that my mailbox is full.

I should get paid for this!

 

[RedhatPat]

I think the best way to "pay" you back is to "pass" on the lessons we've learned from you, to the rest of ECF. Thus lightening the load on you and those like you who go out of their way to help not only new folks but seasoned one's, too. You know, like you play surrogate father to Ocey

ETA: Since this thread has been moved to the lounge, feel free to take a ten-minute break out of your day to watch this video because you deserve it; you sir are amazing.

Congratulations Baditude on your milestone. As others have already said, you sure have helped guide me. Your post are informative, well written, unbiased and very helpful. You are certainly a great asset to this forum and community. Keep up the good work!

Looking forward to our Vape session.

Congratulations, Batitude!

Your efforts in both learning and sharing very valuable information are evident all over this place. In fact, in addition to the obvious self-gained knowledge (much from your hand), you've now made other parts of my life a bit easier. I can now send inquiring-newbie-friends to ECF with some very simple instructions.

Interestingly enough - just last night I sent two more (of what's becoming patent-worthy) email responses were sent. The first was to two family members, who've been using Blu for about three months, and yesterday received an Evod kit to share & try (at their request, courtesy of the venerable Mr. Gormly).

And I quote (literally, via copy & paste):

It's MUCH to digest, but all questions are answered here - somewhere. The New Members threads are a good jumping-off point. Many veterans spend time there, helping newbies. There are a TON of knowledgeable & experienced members on ECF, and you'll come to recognize them in a relatively short time.

I'll give you just two names right now; Batitude and Absintheur. If you see ANYTHING they post, pay attention. They know their (expletive deleted). In fact, I would recommend searching for both them in the search-bar (top right). I know that Batitude also has a bunch of VERY HELPFUL blogs, in addition to his many thread postings.

I, of course, will also be happy to try and answer any questions you have. But I might direct you to one of the many ECF vets if your question is outside of my knowledge. You know me - I just do my own (expletive deleted) thing in my own (expletive deleted) way.

Love ya's always!

So, again, a very sincere "CONGRATULATIONS!", and I hope you stick around for decades to come. I'm raising THIS cup of coffee to you and your 10k!

Congrats to DP, he is now the recipient of my 10,000th "likes given" Your friends request is in the mail! I'll send you the tracking # later

Congratulations Bad! I don't think I can add much more than has already been said. I have to say they are all true. You are now a Guru and that title is more fitting for you. I know I have probably sent a few people to you. Sorry to be one of those that help fill your mailbox.

I raise my ProVari in salute to you!

Thank you so much for the kind words. I wish that 10k was in real money.

I have been out of a job now for several days. I won't go into the details here, but I may no longer be able to do the professional skillset that I have been doing for over 30 years. I have finally overcome the red tape of Unemployment. I will be looking into applying for disability also but I've heard that can get tied up in the court system and take over 2 years before getting any kind of resolution. I have a little money put away in savings, but that could dry up fast. Didn't really mean to spill my guts like this, but my time on ECF could become short-lived soon.

Your thoughts and prayers for my well-being and a resolution to my problems are much appreciated. Thank you all.

Prayers are winging your way right now! God Bless! I really hope we don't lose you here but you must do what is best for you.

 

[Mattnatti]

Sorry to hear this news. You will be in my prayers for a fast resolution. If there is anything you need from a local just give me a shout.

+1 Robin 'n Matt.

Baditude, do what you gotta do just remember this -- You always got a friend in Amish country, brother.

You owe nothing to nobody except yourself 'n your fam. RL comes first. We'll still be inside your 'puter when you return.
