^this... exactly this. Man, sometimes it turns my stomach. One guy was clearly about a week removed from his last bath and every bit of the video was cringe-worthy.
Crap! I can't resist. SOME of US (and I am NOT alone) do NOT even know what a "RBA" IS ..... and I already did a gripe about "MODS" yet Victor the Vape Man will write three paragraphs about his "RBA" and throw in a line or six asking or declaring, "WHY do people STILL use 'clearos', 'cartos' AND 'eGo's" when they COULD be using my spiff "MOD" (big old hernia-making box with six batteries inside).
MANY folks don't KNOW all the terminology. A reference to anything unknown confuses old farts and young pups alike.
Still not "grumpy" ........ Senile Old Man Don (I gotta get OFF here ......... I'm forming yet ANOTHER "bad habit"!
< Still smilin'! Don't get all huffy with me!
The free shipping idea is great for a one or two bottle order. Having to pay close to $6.00 for shipping is what is stopping me from ordering a particular flavor called Slim that was suggested to resemble a Misty 120 menthol (what i used to smoke) from MyFreedomSmokes. That is just stupid to pay that much for a tiny little 15 ml bottle of E-Liquid. I may have to though since I can't seem to find anyone else who has it or a coupon code to reduce the price :-(
One last one ........ I forgot before:
Nice helpful folks who refer to their "site" and assume everyone knows WHO they are - when we don't. The kind person has no identifying "hint" so we might go and take a gander. No big "rule breaking ads" mind you - but maybe a little blurb in the signature line saying maybe, "XYZ E-CIGS IS A MEMBER OF ..... ".
I wanna know who the nice person was who answered my query. If you have a business and support the forum ........ drop a HINT. IF you go too far the honchos who carry the big sticks will let ya' know! One little "infraction" won't get ya' banned until Hector rises from the dead!
Senile Old Man Don ............. LIKES that "FREE SHIPPING" IDEA!
<--------- More SMILIN'!
I learned a new word today, and its a good one !
... but I don't think I'll hyphenate it, prefer Cringeworthy. Sounds like a Charles Dickens name ...

I'm on a roll here ......... obsessive-compulsive and all that rot!
They charge $6.00? OK. They pay for the package in which the bottle ships. They pay a cute gal or frumpy guy to package it up. They have the equipment to print the label. They jump in the 'vette and go to the Post Office (sometimes). They do a LOT for that $6.00 and should the package disappear they have to deal with the customers complaint. Yea - $6.00 IS a bit high - however - when ya order from MyFreedomSmokes Ya also get impeccable Customer Service and superb speed; or, so has been my experience. A LOT goes into making a purchase and LOT goes into shipping it out. I do, however, feel your pain.
Yea Old Senile Person Posting Way Too Much .............. Old Man Don
<--------- Yes - I AM "cool"!
There are hundreds, maybe thousands of juices reviewed and declared "Great Stuff! You gotta try this juice!". I like maybe two of the ones I ordered after reading those posts. Be real. Describe in detail what you think is good about this juice. I want to know if there's an undertone of soap or green taste, whether it required steeping to be "Great", and if you are still ordering it again after the first bottle.
Don't post just for post count. Make it worth our while!

from ole lady Mrs. Robinson ;-)
Pet Peeve 1: Online Vape stores that won't provide and address and phone number.
Pet Peeve 2: Juice suppliers who don't steep their juice before shipping.
Pet Peeve 3: Vapers who complain about the price of something they have never tried and never intend to buy.
Pet Peeve 4: People like me who will say anything in a forum just to shake the dust.

Mt pet peeve is when the respondant completely ignores the original poster question. Do like carpenters. Measure (read) twice, cut (respond) once.

Awwwwwwwwwwwww ....... I'm at a loss for words! Glad ya' smiled! I was a bit worried I was gonna get my nose punched! Enjoy that "juice"!
Senile Old Man Don ............ feels warm and tickled inside (blush-blush)!
My goldfish 'Daryl' swims up broadside in her bowl and looks at me with one eye sometimes, my peeve.
It bugs me when people describe their favorite juices as "awesome", "delicious", or "to die for" - mainly because when I order the same juices I am so unfortunate that I am always sent crap instead of what those lucky people are vaping.

I recently ordered 10 samples from a supplier that routinely gets rave reviews here. 9 were unvapable. The 10th was decent but I would never buy it again.
and so it goes...
This^^^ is why I do not order juice online. For $6 in gas I can drive to 2 shops that have juice tasting bars, do their own mixing, and know for a fact I am spending my money on juice that I know will not sit unvaped.
The one that bothered me the most was a lady reviewing juice from one of the local shops that I use. They are a blue collar B&M in a blue collar neighborhood. They have over 250+ flavors and reasonable prices. I haven't found any that I didn't like. I've mentioned them on here a couple of times, and I can hear the crickets chirping. No one cares about them, or folks on here are banned from mentioning them and I just don't know about it. I just enjoy their stuff and don't say anything about them on here any more. I think the ECF community likes the "boutique" stuff better.
So... this woman is reviewing one of their juices that I use all the time, a real nice tasting watermelon. I actually have some in one of my tanks right now. I start the video and it is just an overall poor quality production. It is grainy, blurry, and very dark. She procedes to describe her equipment. It is a little hand grenade shaped mod with a ring of mulitcolored LEDs running around the center of it that light up when she fires it. She talks about it for like 3 minutes, saying what a wonderful, fun little device it is. When she finally gets around to the actual juice review, she fills a cheapo claromizer with the liquid and starts "vaping". When she exhales, nothing comes out of her mouth. Not even a wisp of vape. She says something like, "this juice doesn't produce much vape", and tries a couple more hits. Still nothing. So, she finally switches to an ego looking battery and starts "vaping". She doesn't get any vape out of it, either. At that point, she just procedes with the review. I think I might have spotted a little vapor coming out of her mouth after one of her drags, but it could have been a car driving by her house reflecting light off of its windshield through her window. By now, I am laughing my .... off. It was funny and sad at the same time. The bottom line of the review was "Well, this juice tastes like watermelon, but not really.". I was vaping that juice while watching it, and it is actually a very nice cross between an actual watermelon and a watermelon Jolly Rancher candy. Just delicious.
So, my pet peeve is juice reviewers that can't make a decent video, can't get even the smallest cloud out of their equipment, and being in complete denial that they are vaping when in reality, she should have just given up.
I hope that no one skipped going to that vendor because they trusted her judgement...

1) People who don't stop saying/doing things I don't like when I tell them to.
2) People who don't say/do things I do like when I tell them to.
Those people are SO FRUSTRATING!! Grrr!

I hate it when I buy something from a vender that says," I tried this its wonderful," and it is a leaky egg sucking bit of hard ware. That happens.
