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!

Says the tall gent in the suit with nearly 6,000 posts! Actually Dave - I see a lot of your posts and you DO keep it real and informative. A fine job. I - on the other hand - am often serious, but come across as a smart azz. Ain't we grand!?

Senile Old Man Don ......... Dave does have this vaping thing nailed - for real.

I know exactly what you mean:

earlier today I was trying to find something about menthol liquids in DIY - Liquid part of this forum and I'm reading stuff and OMG !!! all these abbr. for the vendors like (some I have figured out) WL, TFA, PA, FA, LA, MFS, MBV and so forth ... how is a newb in DIY supposed to know what's which or what or who ????

can you guess my pet peeve?

CORRECT: abbreviations !!!

hate them

:|

I am about to wet myself! I am NOT alone! Old people and youngsters as well - especially when NEW to the game NEED FULL NAMES of the goodies! Doing a 'Gargle Search' on for an "IUD in brass" can make a guy and ESPECIALLY A GAL cringe! IF ya REALLY LIKE yer danged goodies - SHARE the NAME so we have a fighting chance! Nobody is getting me to put that IUD Clearomizer in MY mouth! The receptacle OK - but that's all! :w00t:

Two of the biggest:

1. Fan boys!!!! don't disagree with one or the pack will converge on you. I'm not talking about the odd difference of opinion. I mean the silencing pack that can get pretty nasty. I've actually decided not to buy from a vendor with that kind of fan-boy base it leaves such a bad taste.

2. Youtube reviewers who don't tell you what the item costs at the beginning or post where they got it so I can at least check out the price while they're talking saving me wasted time on something beyond my budget. But really... just tell me at least the approximate price FIRST! And if you're going to just mention, rather than type out the vendor's name,... please, please, please speak clearly. For that matter, it would also be nice if reviewers here mentioned what they paid for the item too.

One of my biggest pet peeves is when watching videos from the "non big guys," they won't have all of their material ready to rebuild, review, etc.
"Ok, so now I'm going to test this coil. Hold on, let me get my multimeter. Be right back."
And now I wait for you to get back from the garage while your dog comes into frame and just stares at me eerily.

Thank you, that made me spit lemonade at my keyboard... :lol:


Or when reviewers have intros longer than their video :glare:

Oh yeah. We're all happy that you're excited about your new video editing software. Now please get to the review.

Video reviewers that show close ups of reviewed items that have crud under their fingernails. ~shudder~

Dirty fingernails make my skin crawl. I was on a date years ago with a rather pretty girl that had dirty fingernails.

Her: "Hey, wanna hang out for a while? Wink, wink"
Me: "Yeah, nah, I gotta get up early"

Pet Peeve 2: Juice suppliers who don't steep their juice before shipping.

I kinda disagree with that, in that some people like certain juices fresh out of the mailbox, and some prefer them steeped one week, or two weeks, or a month or more. Sending juice out "fresh" lets more people tailor the steep time to their taste.

My goldfish 'Daryl' swims up broadside in her bowl and looks at me with one eye sometimes, my peeve.

I'll only say that there are no words to describe the horror that is a Pitbull/Boxer mix with the runs. I'll take getting the hairy eyeball from a goldfish over that experience any day of the week. :D

How about the Preverbal "Wall of Text"?

A 2,000 word Manifesto without a Single Paragraph Break makes me Coo Coo for Cocoa Puffs.

A thousand times this. There's a lot of posts here and on several other forums that I will simply skip over because they're too painful to read.

How about the Cheapskate People?

You know the Ones.

The ones that went from spending $175 an Month on Analogs, and now if their 1.79 Carto Doesn't Work Right they act Like they got Life Savings Ripped Off in some Pyramid Scheme.


It's obviously a conspiracy by BT, BP, and the Illuminati.

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...:mad:

Please post that link, I want to giggle.

Here is another one of my Pet Peeves.

People who sign their name at the end of their posts.

SomeDude123 said:

So if I was you, I would buy a ___________ (Insert your Favorite Whatever). Take care.

Why the heck do people have to Sign their Name like it is a Letter sent home from Summer Camp?

If for some reason I forget who Wrote the post I'm reading, Which I Don't think has ever happened, I can just look on the Right and Read their Username.

Here's another one I Hate.

People who say "I searched all over the ECF on how to Fill a Clearo but I couldn't find anything. So what is the Best way to fill my Clearo?"

No they Didn't. Why Lie?

Why don't they just say... "I'm Too Lazy to Type in a Box and Click on the Search Button. So what is the Best way to fill my Clearo? And can you get me a Beer While you're Up?"

That type of Honesty I can Respect.
