Thanks to everyone for helping me see the humor in her misinformation. Lol. This is why I dig you guys.
Newbies giving me "advice" (rant)

3500 feet? That's not a skydive, it's a hop-n-pop.... and it only counts if you walked away from the landing....Reminds me of the time someone informed me that my recent skydiving excursion was not "real" because I was only 3500 feet above the earth when I stepped out of a plane.I was dumbfounded. The person had never even been in a plane much less jumped out.
Go figure.
I used to get this with PCs, a lot, back in the 90's; all of a sudden, everyone had one on their desk and ran Windows 3, and had so much 'advice' for me...
I'd just ask them what memory manager they were using, and if they loaded it in their config.sys? They'd shut up for a minute and just look at me, like, "What??" No idea what I was talking about -- some tech at the store set it up for them. Much like nowadays with B&Ms that sell mechs and RDAs to unsuspecting newbies and even build their coils for them.

Too funny. I use what I think is a good mod. I like it. When I go to a shop or around someone else I kinda hide it cause I just don't want to hear the crap that runs out of the mouths. It's older but it works.

It's a good landing if you can walk away from it. It's only a great landing if you can use the plane again.
RB, "Idiots do vex me"
I have so many things I want to say, but to err on the side of "politically correct", I won't. Just keep doing what you're doing. If you aren't smoking a cig, you're winning the battle, sister

She's like any other beginner, they know one way and it's the right way! Think oil off a duck's back. When she's adamant about something like sub ohming mention how much longer other solutions have been available and that the controversy over whether high power vaping might produce more formaldehyde. Give her some perspective on why other ways might be right for other people.
OH GOD - you have an "Expert" on your hands. I have a cousin very similar to this and while she doesn't vape, she is your go-to person for any and all unsolicited advice because She. Knows. EVERYTHING. Godspeed, my friend.
Hey I love my Kangertech ego 650mah batts (in many colors) and my original KT evod tanks. I can afford bigger and so called better but I am happy with what I have
I have found people like this are more often than not insecure underneath it all. It makes them feel important to look like they know more than others.
Just smile and say.... Nice gear, glad you're happy with it. Then happily vape on and don't bother to argue. Just be secure in what you do as long as you are happy with it.

I have a friend like that. The older we've gotten, the more insufferable she's become. She doesn't smoke or vape, but she knows more about it than I do
. As is true about everything . Lately, I just don't often feel like interacting with her anymore.
How do you handle it? Needs a Miss Manners dope slap. You can leave out the Miss Manners part. When lack of respect is that one sided... it's about the only thing that works. You already tried nice - that ain't workin'.
Lol. Love all the perspective here. And also glad to know that I'm not a jerk for thinking she's a pretentious noob. Haha
I'm a noob to vaping and I know better than to give other people advice. Instead I give myself advice. Things like this:
'Self, you need one of those iStick 30w's..' and I'm like 'Yes I believe I do, thank you for the advice.'
'Self, you kinda like this MBV juice, so you will continue to get it.' 'Yes, I believe I will.'
I also had to give myself advice to stop buying things for the month. Such a downer.

Perhaps her giving advice gives her some self worth.
I take on board what I judge to be good advice. I pay no mind to other peoples vaping judgements on myself or others.
On this forum I've only come across very helpful people , most are not eh your not a real vaper with that set up but rather give the pros/cons on set ups they have and help if you need it on what you have.
