I have been reading/watching reviews while shopping for a new battery mod and have come across more than a few that say things like, "this thing hits like a beast". :?: No it doesn't. That thing is a battery case. As long as it makes a solid electrical connection and doesn't cause significant voltage drop, it's not a deciding factor in how hard my pv will hit. Reminds me of everyone that thought they played better basketball when they were wearing Air Jordans vs any other similar shoe.

What other things in the vaping world have really bugged you people?

...but some mods do hit way better than others. ESPECIALLY at very low resistances, weak metals in the body and tube, weak threading, weak contacts, and just overall weak conductivity will be very pronounced in a side-by-side test with the same battery and atty relative to a higher quality mod.

I have a couple ....ty mods that kinda emphasize the point.

I've even noticed a marked difference @0.3 ohm between my copper Nemie and my brass Stingray. The copper just does way better at high amps.

Of course, I generally switch out my batteries well before they drop below 3.9

Videos showing their cleaning process for PT atomizers that include hand washing and drying flavor wicks.
Experts telling folks with leaking tanks to remove flavor wicks, remove atty head gaskets.
Folks using the same nail clippers they use on their toes nails to trim wires in their atty.
"OMG I am having chest pains, can't breath, coughed up a lung". Well you must be allergic to pg, etc. See A Dr Not A Forum.

I would have to agree with all of those

# was never a pound sign.
It was, however the same key on the keyboard that produced £ in the UK, which is the pound sign.
It abbreviates "number"; it is therefore the number sign. It never abbreviates "pound".

Magnificent bit of trivia. I'm off to see how I can drop that into a conversation. In other words, for a few brief moments, I get to be someone else's pet peeve.

Vendors whose site is full of grammar and spelling mistakes! Folks, if you want to do business be professional. Proof your work!
I make mistakes, tons of them, but I don't put them out on my website. I keep a site for my wife's jewelry and trust me, I prepare the material, check it twice, walk away for awhile, come back and check it again, then hit the "post" button.
Typically, if I am checking for something to order and their site has a bunch of mistakes, I move on...

OK, so now everyone will be re-reading this message to see how many mistakes I made complaining about other's mistakes!!!!

For the record, I am NOT a spelling/grammar Nazi. But I cancelled my local paper because a good percentage of articles had either spelling or grammar mistakes in every issue. For me, reading an article or paper with spelling and grammar errors is like trying to jog while someone randomly slaps you with a dead monkey. Distracting and annoying.

Every once in a while I buy a paper to see if the mistakes are still there. I am astounded by their consistency.

I'm Lucky in that Respect.

Because I Spell so Poorily and Since my ghramer Ain't Wurth a Darm, I don't Notice many Mistakes in the thimgs I read.

So it doesn't Effect me much.
