Pet Peeves...

[AndriaD]

pet peeves- juice reviews(no one knows what tastes good to anyone else-strickly hit or miss)
must have this and it's "out of stock"- either make enough and don't complain about "clones" when the "real" ones are never around
number one peeve- people who think they know everything because you are especially annoying to those of us who do........

I look at the reviews a lot, but my pet peeve with them is the ones that just say "this is great!" or "this is awful!" -- it tells you NOTHING about why! I want to see: is it sweet, if so, what kind - maple, vanilla, something else? Is it smoky? is it subtle? Does it hit you over the head with a meershaum pipe the size of Cleveland? Just saying you like it or hate it is NOT INFORMATIVE!!!

The reviews I've lately found most informative (and most true!) were the ones for the e-juice I just got, when a lot of them said it was the nearest thing to VA Slims they'd ever tasted -- thank you, that WAS what I wanted to know, and it's actually true -- in a review of those reviews, I'd give 'em all 5 stars!

Pet peeve: thinking I'm getting such a GREAT DEAL from a vendor in China that I order a B U N C H of things, and upon receipt of said merchandise (2 months later) I find that they were so cheap coz they were knockoffs, and now don't fit most of my existing stuff, and to return them would take an act of congress and the ability to speak fluent Mandarin!

I can sorta relate, though with a different bunch of asians... my last two digital cameras, you really needed to be fluent in how the japanese put sentences together, just to understand the so-called "English" instructions...

Yep, those "pimply twenty-somethings" are just terrible people! And why is it so surprising that a person who never smoked might want to vape? I (and apparently you) find it enjoyable; why wouldn't other people? And I'm assuming you at one time found it reasonable to smoke analogs, something that was known to be dangerous, while the risks of vaping are reasonably thought to be relatively harmless. Seems hypocritical to me...

Since you are a noob I'll let this pass but in the future please remember not to call a veteran vaper out in public. 'nuff said.

 

[lulu836]

Why did you ever smoke your first cigarette?

Because I wanted to have a future as a vaper.

Ahahahaha. Good one. I almost choked to death laughing.

My pet peeves today: The people I work with.

My pet peeve today: Judgmental a'holes.....in one look my mother has undone a weeks worth of hard work I've done to get my daughter out of her depressed funk state she's been in for a long while.....for nearly a week my daughter was finally not wearing her knit cap and over sized hoodie and becoming more self confident and active at school and now today she's back in her knit cap and hoodie......

My pet peeve is post from members that are just sure that the minute they they plug their Ego battery into the charger it will explode, blow their face off, and burn down their house. If it is a really smart battery, it will wait until they are asleep and kill them while in the process of burning their house down. How many homeless people without faces have you seen lately?

That blows. I've had issues with my own mother, RE my son. Sometimes I have to wonder how she managed to raise me and not kill me out of pure ignorance.

Seems like most of the storefronts try to shove something down your throat that you didn't even go there for in this first place... Especially when I was new to vaping.

I absolutely detest going to Wally World.

Best solution is to plan ahead and only go there on Super Bowl Sunday. They might be out of chips, but you will have the store to yourself.

That happened to me once... my own fault, I guess, not knowing anything really about tobacco e-juices. But I did go back to that same store and taste about 6-8 different ones, and he was so nice and patient, so maybe it was worth it buying that Turkish just to get such a helpful store owner. I did end up buying again, but this time after tasting quite a few, and I do like that Kringle's Curse.

Those people that said something are the ones that lack self confidence. People that put others down, are crappy. It's because they are insecure and somehow it makes them feel better to make others feel bad. Worthless people. I hope the Karma bus runs them over.

People that don't check their spelling, especially in the title line. Next, those that don't correct it once they noticed they've blown it.

only real pet peeve so far is my kanger T3S leaking out the mouthpiece when i am refilling.

 

[JaxMike]

(it's probably been covered but...) Youtube videos reviewing clearos or cartos where the guy says "it comes apart but I'm not gonna take this one apart because I've got juice in it."

Chances are, if you're watching a tank review, taking it apart, and what you've got to work with once you've taken it apart, is a pretty big part of the process. Seems like some dude making a video would actually have TWO of them... one with juice, one right out of the box.

Followed closely by those reviews (and this is most of them) where they seem to believe they have to introduce the concept of a "box." "This is the box it comes in... this is the top of the box, and it comes off..."

Generally, most of these vids are sooooo tedious. But, I do get a lot of info from them, so I'll shut up now.

 

[TrolleyVW]

As stated, videos by "amateurs" where it is as if the idea of "hey I'm gonna make a video" just popped into their mind and they ran right to the computer without collecting anything necessary.

Those that post the "what's the best..." Threads, "what's the cheapest..." threads, "tell me how to build a microcoil of this resistance" threads, and "gimme some ideas on RBAs" and then shoot everything down threads.

Shops and employers/employees that know nothing about anything other than clearos and VV devices. Not even VW. Just VV.

Sites that don't tell you the item is out of stock until you add them to your cart.

Getting hyped up, Cologne bottled, pricey juice to find it tastes like pepper.

New vapers that think they can get right into "chucking mad clouds" with their poorly wrapped single coil of 34 gauge.

Those who can't spell.

Those who don't seem to know how to read anything.

Those who don't know how to use Google or the like.

And finally, worst of all, those who ACT like they know what they're saying to someone even less educated than they are when they have never wrapped a coil, don't know what amp draw is , have no clue about any hardware but their k100 clone and a $5 dripper, and work in a shop with equally incompetent people.

I have a lot of peeves.
