When I first got interested in it, just watching someone else do it didn't relieve any of the mystery; I had to actually do it myself a few times, make a few really UGLY!!! coils and ugly attachments, to really "get" it... It's a physical skill like typing or swinging a bat... until you know how, it seems very mysterious, but once you do it yourself a bit, it's not a big thing at all.

And some of my coils and mountings are STILL ugly, but they vape very nicely, so who cares what they look like, right? :D

So true - Vaping right now on a coil that kinda looks as if my cat made it LOL! But it vapes fine :D

@Chakris Not just now I can't - because I don't have access to it, but we'll explain what the process was when we've announced the runners up.

Essentially, there's no real way to tell which post was exactly the 15millionth, so we used a random process to choose the winner at the approximate time the 15millionth post was being made.

Pretty much the fairest way we could find to do it!

As you know, the 15 millionth post was actually made some time ago, but due to post deletions, two software migrations, certain forums not counting etc etc, we have 15m posts now that are in the database. It's all a little arbitrary, but all good fun, and it is still a landmark for our community.

Great contest, I can't believe I missed the sub contest about guessing the time of the post! I mean I only stalked this site twice as much as normal sense the initial announcement. Too excited about the main event I guess. **feels like a noob** congrats to vt8! Considering those runaway posts that's a pretty legit prediction to be within 2 hrs.

It was a heckuva party. Met new folk, laughed my head off. Even if people didn't want to win (?! OK..so that part was dumb.....) it was a brilliant evening. So! Make sure y'all come back for the next landmark, prizes or no prizes!

Oh...and Joe........nice server...... ;)

:D

OMG WOW I can't believe it. I'm speechless!!

Thank you for acting on your whim in 2007 this forum has been a god send to me. The things I've learned and the support and generosity in this forum. But the BEST part is all the wonderful people I have meet and come to think of as good friends.
Thank you to the Mods for the work they do here. They put up with a lot and deal with it gracefully.

Thank you Thank you Thank you.

Now what to pick. There was bunch of generous vendors. Hummmm A BIG Thank you to them also.

Seriously you know the server was being pushed and I never had a real hiccup either. Once near the end I had a slight pause but I credit that to poor cell coverage at work.
