Sheesh! Just read 200+ pages of a thread on a particular rba, looking for an answer to a question I have. Couldn't find it, so I posted a question. The response? "Read back a few pages, Birdy." Sorry for the rant, but if that's how my initial questions on vaping were answered, I'd still be smoking! (Hurt feelings :(. Gotta get over myself!)
reply back that you didn't see it and request that the person quote it for you.

I'll go over there and beat them up for you LB. I hate when people do that.

I doubt that. PayPal only buckled under for the old biddy brigade in the U.S.A.

Nope.

EC Forum Ltd is in the UK. That policy only applies to US to US transactions. You can still buy e-cig stuff using PayPal from overseas suppliers. It should be a complete non-issue for ECF supporting member payments. (At least for now it is.)

Sometimes it’s really great to be wrong. Just don’t tell Iffstah.


Will you just make up your mind. A couple-few posts back you were bashing the Lemo - now it's the best thing since sliced bread. :laugh:
Dude, get the new, improved Special Edition Legs Spreadsheet, way easier to keep up with him.

I had a sympathetic answer for you but since Sloth’s going to make ‘em pay I can put off getting a demerit for another day. Not your average looking superhero is he?

No I'm saying it is rock solid on nickel I still don't care for a lot of things about it. ie. Air adjustment, filling, leaking but if you can overlook that it is pretty good. Has a good taste but I don't care for some things on it would never buy another. Might have one for sale for about $25 still in the box with an extra glass. I bought 2 just on others opinion of it. Should've known better. I think when the new Kanger comes out it will be great the way it has a valley for the coil so you could keep the legs short. I think it would work great.

I took a look, and the poster in question is usually quite helpful. This was a bad response on his part, but I don't think he's a bad guy in general, he was probably pressed for time and just came off seeming curt without meaning too. So, I wrote a gentle response. Not very superhero-like. Maybe PolitenessMan.

OK.... Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy!!!!!!!!

I just wired and wicked up my KF mini with the same build I'd done on my KF Lite. HALLELUJAH!!!!!! NO DRY HITS! I couldn't vape but about 3 or 4 hits before getting a dry hit. I've been happily vaping for 1/2 hour, and all is SWEET!

0mg, I am going to either look for the knitting needles or get some metric bits. I think a slightly smaller diameter would still be o.k. (like 2.5mm) I also think the 28g wire is making this happier :)

Who are we to judge a newbie mistake???? I'll bet if we are all honest we can think of a bone headed blunder we made learning to vape. And hopefully I'm smart enough to know that I don't know everything. At least this guy was smart AND brave enough to post his question and take the flak for it. I'm sure glad the mods stomp on flaming around here or that poor fellow would most likely be long gone considering the response I've seen so far. Live and let live.......

Yep just pulled one. I gotta admit the Lemo is the only one I have been able to get a good nickel build on.

Well I F Ued my Kanger rebuuildable section. Parts of chimney got stuck and dummy me tried Pliers. Bent the lower section of the chimney so will not fit anymore. So that 1/2 of my Kanger is TU. Don't use pliers and Chinese stuff.

I would feel bad "liking" that post, because I don't like that you had that happen to you, but you have my sympathy instead.

Oh and Mike I would not recommend the Lemo at all. I have had nothing but problems with it leaking out the fill hole. Tied the gummy thing no go tried the screw same problem and it is harder then hell to get in. I'm leaning more towards the Kanger. I can imagine that the KFL+ wouldn't work well. It seems you need good air flow to make these work well. My Lemo is by far the best build but the tank has some major issues in my opinion.

I think you said you got a handle on why it did this, but I was gonna say to check some youtube vids if you haven't already to see what folks said about it.

Wow! I just reported this post. It's really scary! A moderator needs to see this right away, but I don't know how to reach one.

http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...uilding-my-coil-please-help.html#post15105592

this poor person is an accident waiting to happen. I'd answered some questions for them before, real basic stuff that I did know, told them that I was brand new to coils as well, and that they really needed to watch a lot of videos etc. They said they'd watched about 30 of em. They started pm'ing me asking about where to buy stuff and other questions. I've done some dumb things, and surely have had a hard time understanding seemingly simple stuff, but I watched and read and asked TONS before doing. Not everyone is lucky enough to have y'all to guide us, I get that, but based on what I've seen from this person, they really need a lot more knowledge before trying some of the stuff that they are trying.

Don't hold it against me for saying so, please, but I think you're over-reacting. The person who started the thread is using a Provari, which is not going to allow an unsafe condition. Everybody has to start somewhere, and some do more research than others before starting. At least the poster is asking questions, and I don't think he or she should be criticized for that.

I don't think she's overreacting in her concern. Mods probably can't do much, and I don't like the posters who got ugly, but telling them they need to learn more is not a bad thing. Even with built in protections, those can fail, and shouldn't be relied on to save you from yourself.

Sheesh! Just read 200+ pages of a thread on a particular RBA, looking for an answer to a question I have. Couldn't find it, so I posted a question. The response? "Read back a few pages, Birdy."

Glad you posted that you didn't see it and asked em about it. Hope you told em you just read 200+ posts.

I'll go over there and beat them up for you LB. I hate when people do that.

I was gonna say the same thing, but since I'm busted up myself, I'll let you beat em up!! How dare they hurt our birdy's feelins!!! Why I oughta...... lol

ditto!

I've bought vape stuff thru PP on Ebay recently. Even bought a drip tip from an ECF Vendor with PP. I haven't had an issue with it. Just don't risk a decline by mentioning anything vape related on invoices or payments.
