Perhaps some of the posts are misleading although it is hard to tell that when some of the same posters are the ones clicking the like button for a post flat out insulting people who vape higher watts.

You really have to try to ignore the subtle nuances. It will make your blood pressure even out. ;)

When you have online forums, the more members you have, the greater differences in opinion can become. I also belong to a well established cell phone forum with over 1 million members. There you will have forums broken up by carrier and by brand of phone. You will have AT&T users going into the Verizon forums to bash Verizon, and vice versa, or you will have Motorola users going into the Samsung forums to bash Samsung phones. Sometimes it can be difficult to separate the wheat from the chaff, especially those times when it denigrates to where 75% of the posts in a thread is chaff.

That said, in my experience ECF is nowhere near that bad.
No kidding.

Before I came here I spent my spare time on a Padres forum.
That forum (run by the local newspaper) was considered very tame compared to the ESPN Padres forum.

But even that forum was far worse than ECF is today.

Having said that, ECF is slowly getting worse, because as you said, more members...
But also because of the changing demographics of vaping.

lol yeah I always see someone doing that, just liking a post regardless if its insightful or not, just for the fact that they are on the same side of the arguement. Usually its just 1 or 2 people though,

Sometimes I just "like" posts if I have nothing to add to the argument, but generally agree with that post's message.

Sometimes I "like" posts if the poster is saying something real and true, even if that something is something I hate.

And sometimes I "like" a moderator's last post just before they close a thread, if the thread has degenerated to useless insults -- even though in general I hate closed threads, because then no one else can say anything. It's more than annoying to find a thread closed and the last post says something like 'well you all killed it,' especially if that happens at 5am when no one but the night shift is even awake yet.

I personally don't care how someone vapes, as long as they don't explode their battery, set themselves on fire, or keel over dead anywhere in my vicinity, and also as long as they don't tell me I'm a "noobie" just because I prefer low watt/high ohm vaping with high PG.

i miss the 'it has to steep for HOW long???" cat Andria. :p in fact, im going to steal it :)

ROFL!!! I love that one!!! But I started doing that high-flavor-mix thing so I don't have to worry about steeping. :D No way can I be patient enough for that business, USPS and vendors that won't hurry up and ship it already are already straining my patience to its utmost. ;)

But when I saw that cat's yellow nose, I about fell out of my chair laughing, picturing my own mostly-black kitty with her face in the flavors. :D We're experiencing "green snow" season just now, so that crap is EVERYWHERE! It makes all this rain a lot more tolerable, knowing it's washing that crap out of the trees as fast as possible.

That's crazy.
Asking for trouble.
What if the atty is tweaked and has an internal short?
I use my cheapo ohm reader to check for shorts.
I can accurately eyeball the resistance of my builds within .02 +\-, but that took a lot of wire and cursing to get there.

    Instead of coming to this thread and mocking someone, why don't you help educate them?

    We try, but

    I get what some of you are saying, and I can admit that there's been a couple times that have felt like a lost cause, but vaping is still in its infancy and its a critical time to be supportive. Oberon wanted you guys to stop hating on subohmers. I just want you guys to stop being haters.
