Gn is pure entertainment! Wish I was able to work...definitely would love to work for a vape vendor....oh the money I'd save! Saw another posting of his where he called someone gn junior...gods no! One is enough! Maybe he just made up a new profile??

Sent by my cat through pure magic
I saw it too....I did a face plant. I saw another one where he hopes he gets some freebies for being an alpha reviewer or something. I can't help but to think he has multiple user names on here and Baditude or someone is playing a big trick on all of us. I've quit a lot of things in my day....some harder than others and even some that took several steps (like 12 or so). Walking away from his drivel is right up there with the hardest. I guess you really do have to WANT to change. Right now, I guess I'm sort of a groupie. My heart goes out to all the vendors and B&M employees who've had to deal with him, though. Can you imagine? It'd be worse than manning the customer service line for PMS medications.

I generally only post when I run across his posts and it strikes me as funny. I tried to be helpful a few times and will probably maintain that but really man, it is just too hard not to poke some fun at him.

Maybe I could get a third job, one in the vaping industry, the discounts, the freebies, the money for spreading GoodNews! about fraudulent vaping equipment! Wonder what that pays?

I kinda feel for the guy. I have no idea why his taste buds just hate everything. The first time read that he said that he tasted the silica wicks, I was like, "Huh? I have no idea what silica tastes like. Maybe I'm tasting it in all of my juices, too.". So... I did what any self respecting scientist would do. Took one for the team. I promptly pulled a piece of wick our of an old head, popped it in my mouth, and started chewing. The good news (no pun intended - no, really) is that I can NOT taste silica. The bad new is that to this day, I don't know if I've "passed" it yet...

I'm afraid you, sir, owe me a new keyboard and possibly a top cap for a kayfun. While reading your post, I made the mistake of drinking some coffee...which came out of my nose with extreme velocity, ruining my keyboard. In an attempt to wipe it down quickly, I went full blown seizure victim, promptly knocking everything off my desk. I found everything but the top cap. The "bad news" is what did me in.

Now that is dedication, we appreciate your efforts and willingness to take one for the team. Your dedication to the advancement of knowledge will always be appreciated! I think you may have erred in your method though, you first need to burn a fish head, then rub the wick on it, then fish guts, then go rent a monkey and rub the wick on it's ..... You would then be able to taste the silica, I think.

Wait a minute, you work in the e-cig industry don't you >.<

So. In all fairness, I watched the video. And nowhere in it did he say anything about having a " horrid, burnt, chemically, dry, wonky experience from almost all the Aspire heads, but so did 10 other vapers he contacted." He said "dry and scratchy." He also aknowleged that some of them worked perfectly, thought the percentages were less than 50%. (I'm pretty sure you are batting 0 for all devices, from any manufacturer, which is not QUITE the same thing.) .

Second, notice that he mentioned varying the wattage on the device to get the best results SEVERAL times. but of course, you said in your other thread that vv/vw makes no difference.

So as per your standard operating procedure, you regurgitate the scraps that you feel support your outlandish positions, embellish them to your liking, and disregard anything that goes against your "honest opinion."

Yep, there's a source I can trust!

(And I've never even liked the Aspire BDC to begin with. lol)

Oh, sure, bring facts into this. We have no use for facts.

I have a Maxi version, 2 Mini versions and an Ego version and all work really, really well. I change the heads every few days (I just soak them in water overnight) because I use dark juices mainly. They work noticeably better on my Provari with a Hippo v2 then they do on my itaste vv 3 tho (but pretty much everything does). I am also not a vendor or in any way connected to Aspire either.

So, to all you vendor employees on ECF who wanted to make me look like a dummy and bash the absolute heck out of me because I didn't get a perfect experience out of the Aspire, here's RIP, with a little insight to the Aspire:

First Review: Aspire BDC Clearomizer - YouTube
Second Review: Rebuilding The Aspire BDC - YouTube

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHHAHAH... ha.

Seems not only RIP, who's one of the premier coil builders out there IMO, had a horrid, burnt, chemically, dry, wonky experience from almost all the Aspire heads, but so did 10 other vapers he contacted. All those amazing reviews of the Aspire? Yeah, I think they're by vendor employees or paid reviewers. The severe backtalk to anyone who has a negative experience correlates.

Just want to warn everyone of a faulty product that is getting tremendous flack on the market (by big reviewers, 2 months after I reviewed it) and to warn everyone that practically anyone who says this device is perfect is, IMO, a vendor employee or got an extremely early/late production model. I've already caught a couple in these employees in the act of admitting to work at a vendor or serve customers in some type of way, though I won't say specific usernames.

This product is a seriously flawed, fraudulent product. Actually, all my heads worked better than the Protank heads, the Aspire heads always had a stronger flavor, but blended with a stronger bad flavor. Just trash. Tastes like either insulation, fish, charcoal, or cigarette filters. This product needs to go back to the production floor, vapers are being frauded with this product, as I was. If I hadn't wasted money on this device, I could have bought a good little cheap RDA couple months back.

Anyway, argue with all that. I have someone to back me up now.

*Also, how RIP mentioned that the legs were crossing and touching, this is how the iClear 30 model I tried was built too. It gave me a severely wicky, acidic, gagging vape.

Some have an amazing experience, some don't. I personally don't have the amazing experience but it's not that bad either. I wouldn't buy a second, that's for sure, but it depends on YOUR liquid and YOUR expectations...

Oh... damn... Didn't mean to wreck your Kayfun, your keyboard, or destroy your house. The check is in the mail. Sorry 'bout that, bro. :oops:

I'll need to wait a couple of months before I can do that. My boat is all blocked up on land until April 1st and I don't have the appropriate license for pier fishing this time of year.

As to renting a monkey - I called Annapolis and they said that the governor's schedule is filled up for months.

No, I don't work in the e-cig industry. I'm with a big 3 letter computer company. One of my biggest customers does handle a ton of vape mail every day. Does that count?

GoodNews! is your G.Monkey should be available near the same time as you will be able to harvest a fresh legal fish specimen for the experiment. BadNews! is your three letter affiliation with vape mail disqualifies your findings. However we still appreciate your scientific efforts and wish you the best in your e-cig industry endeavors.
