Simple & Strange Things I've Learned on ECF

[supermarket]

This thread is AWESOME:

Here is what I've PERSONALLY learned (tips and tricks, stuff like that). I know some will be repeats, but that should just re-enforce how important they are!

• Even if you are completely new, SAVE your spent atomizer heads, because someday you WILL want to rebuild them, and if not, you can at least send them to someone who will!
• When a coil/atomizer head is spent, it is SPENT. Toss it in the spent atomizer container, and use a new one. Don't bother cleaning or rinsing it, they are CHEAP ENOUGH on the EVOD and Pro tank to replace every 2 weeks or so (YMMV, just my personal experience)
• Create a document for vaping. Include the first day you started vaping, how much you've spent on vaping, which e-liquids you've tried, etc etc. Having a document with all your vape info helps tremendously! It is good to record your progress!
• You CAN vape on a budget. Ego Twist bats and EVODs/Pro tank are a LIFESEND
• Personal taste is PERSONAL TASTE. Even if 100 people rant and rave about how great an e-liquid is...YOU MIGHT HATE IT. Take e-liquid reviews with a grain of salt
• Once you find a battery and delivery system you like....stick with em! No need to buy into the hype, and get the new toy every few weeks, unless you are SPECIFICALLY into that. If you are, then by all means!

Vapers march to a different drummer.

When searching for a particular topic on here, use Google and include "ecf" in your keywords. It's so much more effective than using this site's search function.

Here is a bit of info and something I learned while on ECF.

Starting out with disposables can be good as they start up on the path to quitting.

Getting your first starter kit in the vapemail is good.
Using your kit and adding to your vaping devices is good.

Picking up and emergency disposable is good.

Using the disposable to test it and finding out it tastes GAH-GAK-GAK is bad.

Planing to get a few other cheap devices for an emergency is smart.

- I've learned that all ECF threads become "chatty" threads.

I've learned that watching Pbusardo's "epiphany" video can/will cost you Hundreds of dollars!

I've learned that TPA Bavarian Cream is wonderful with anything

I've learned that, for the most part, you get what you pay for but in some instances, the much less expensive version performs just as well if not better than the original.

I have learned that the term "dripping" can be so funny and if used anywhere but on this forum most emphatically does NOT mean the same thing.

LMFAO @ AngelsBreathe... Perhaps they don't, but do you not agree both are great, and lead to wonderful experiences and flavors?



I have learned that I have a family that opposes everything I do, that seems to hope vaping will give me cancer just so I can be wrong about it being better than smoking : (
I have learned that I am stronger than that, and won't go back no matter what they say.

 

[El_tecolote]

No matter what studies you quote or what evidence you can state, some people will always consider vaping as bad if not worse than smoking.

I must say I agree, I just learned the hard way lol

I have learned to appreciate the strength and conviction of the members here!!!

I have learned that you do NOT drip from a 510 without a drip tip, I have learned what hot lips is all about!

 

[Wallelf]

Damn, doesn't anyone sleep around here?

I've learned that wallelf needs to come back over to the lurking forum and meet the hostess lol

I'll get there.

And I learned that you can take the filler out of a carto and use it as an atomizer. Who knew? (Haven't tried it yet.)

I tried to rewick with that. While possible, I didn't find it very satisfactory. I switched to boiled, then dried yarn, and love that much better.

When you have 4 dogs you never have enough petting hands.

Try it with 11. At one point, we were at 11 dogs...all in and out of the house. Due to old age, we are now down to 4, which is much more manageable, but I sure miss the ones that are gone.

I've learned that you can never "catch up" on a thread & just have to jump in somewhere & say Howdy all!

Yeppers.

I've learned that if you don't do your homework, your going to spend way more than you needed to.

Couch stuffing is great wicking material.

(OK, maybe not… but I'm sure it's been tried

 

[Taniger1]

Well, I didn't LEARN this on ECF but the best to learn?

Some days your the windshield, some days your the damn BUG!! Learn to fly high!

Nothing works all the time, everything works some of the time. That's the vape stuff I use right now :0)

i learned that if you try to spread yourself too thin at too many threads, you get overwhelmed trying to keep up with them all. so better to just pick a few regular ones and avoid the rest. unless of course you enjoy being overwhelmed....then knock yerself out!

Best advice I can give to ANYONE reading this forum...

When you post a question, don't feel like the first couple responses you get within the first 10 minutes contain accurate information.
Chances are the first answers you get will be from people who may not know what they are talking about.

Also, look at post counts when judging whether or not the information you are getting is reliable.
