Really post 5 times?

[bellahdonna]

Hi,
I'm a newbie to this forum and I read that we have to post 5 times on this forum before we can post anywhere else. Feels like the snipe hunt my brothers pulled on my baby brother when he was 7 years old. I guess as a newbie I am gonna go on the snipe hunt.
Cheers

Ok, one out of the way, I wonder if posting to my own thread counts? I'm here to learn about vaping. Not sure how to spell it since the spell checker didn't like any of my options. I'll post the next couple of threads to say what I hope to learn so it will count toward my 5 posts.

Yup. Sure do. 1 down, 4 to go. We all did it. Keeps spammers at bay. Welcome to the forum!!

won't take long if you reply to the other new users coming on board. seems like there are more new members everyday.

It's really not that bad and helps the mod's limit and eliminate spamming. Rather then have to hunt across the entire forum for spam. 5 post goes quick, there are 2-3 new Hi post up now. Jump in say hi, or just respond here about what you use or any question you may have.

Go engage in conversations here, it won't seem like such a big deal that way. Surely there's a thread deserving of your two cents, or a topic you might have extra questions on

Ya really don't want to post back to back. The mods will catch on and delete. That's what I mean by spamming.

I watched the YouTube video by GrimmGreen and found out that my experience with the heads or whatever you call those things is a common one with the Aspire. It seems that 2-3 out of a pack of 5 is always bad. I like the aspire because it gives a smooth vape and I hope to find out in these forums about other types of tanks that are better. I'll search for the Jonboy USMC thread when I complete my initiation of 5 postings.

What Simply Red said is true. It really doesn't take that long to get your five posts in. When you do, you will have to wait until 25 minutes after the hour when the servers reset.

Spamming for post count is a No-no. Replying to people on this thread is a great way to get those counts there or, which has been suggested, welcome others that are new just like you.

You can also ask any questions you have right here on your thread.

Welcome to ECF.

Hi All, another newbie here altho' I've lurked for awhile ... I'm more of a listen 'n' learn than a talker and feel that I don't know enough to contribute much at this stage but it's nice to share with folk who're going thru' the same 'teething' problems, so to speak. I started out with the ever reliable ego batteries ( still have/use them) and now have a MVP2, Provari mini, an Ego T, a $10 gripper ( brilliant for stealth vaping in hospital corridors etc) and a few Vision Spinners .. I love Fast Tech .. always buying stuff that I don't really need just so's I get some vapemail, LOl! anyone else do this, I wonder?

I know I will when I get it but I have the feeling the more experience you get, the Provari Mini will be your "go to" and the MVP will be your back up. The others can be your back ups to your back up.

Just wait till you upgrade to buying full camo and hiding in the yard to stalk the mail man lol. I personally can go months with out ordering then all of sudden its 2 weeks of packages arriving daily. speaking of the wife will be out of town next month so I might as well start loading shopping carts to arrive while she is away. Would probably help keep her off my back about the amount of gear I have.

 

[saussie]

Yes well, a friend gave me 2 18350 batteries to get me thru' until my new ones arrive and I'm so glad that I have the 18490 extension cap as I seem to be forever charging/changing the batts, so I ordered the larger size ... I did have the use of a standard provari for awhile and loved it, but the mini is easier to use discretely while out and about. While at home I use mostly the MVP and also a hand carved wooden mech, mod made by a genuine 'artisan' craftsman but that never leaves the house as too worried that I'll lose it.
The postman doesn't even have to use my letterbox... as soon as I hear his bike, I'm out there with my eager hands outstretched I hate it when he just waves and drives on ... doesn't he realise how bereft I'm feeling?

I have posted 5 times (this being 6) and I still can't reply to other threads in the general part of the forum. hmm

 

[Hermit]

Didn't someone say that gets updated at 25 past each hour?

... and that's 5 for me

Yes, you need to wait until the server processes you. According to Robino (who is a forum moderator) that happens at 25 mins past the hour. You're getting there!

 

[WileECoyote]

I came in here ready to grab my popcorn because I though it was going to be another thread complaining about the 5 posts rule. I can say I am pleasantly disappointed! Way to go on first impressions! Welcome to ECF! You are gonna like here. A bunch of kind folks like yourselves.

 

[robinsonfam1]

Yeah I just realized that I am not at 5 either after I had typed a big reply in another forum.....aarrgghh....lol

Loving not smoking! Its funny how fast you cant stand analogs or the smoke...ive been in casinos all week and cant stand it. They should give out ecigs when you go through the door!

Newbie here, although a well stocked newbie. Happy Vaping
