taking sides

[salami_salome]

Having just introduced myself, thought I'd also identify where I stand on two ECF controversies.

1. The Great "Johnson's Creek: Love 'Em or Hate 'Em" Debate: love 'em! Have tried four from the Red Oak (all VG line): Mercado, Wisconsin Frost, Valencia, and Swiss Dark. Mercado, mmm, knew I would love that one, having been a clove-smoker and really liking cinnamon. Was surprised by how much I liked WF; such a rich and nuanced mint, almost chocolatey. Valencia fresh and delicious, though a little thinner in the vapor production department. The only one I didn't care for was Swiss Dark, but I'm starting to think after having sampled a fair amount of juice by now that my taste buds just don't really register chocolate or coffee flavors very well.

2. The Great Terminology Debate: PV or E-Cig? I personally prefer PV. I want to break with smoking completely and not associate my new habit with my old one. I can see the audience problem though; how the term PV doesn't signify anything to people outside of vaping circles.

So, those are the teams I play for, or something. Did I just use a sports analogy?

I prefer the term PV as well, but I have found when I am explaining what it is i am doing to other people they seem to understand easier if i just say e-cig lol.

 

[salami_salome]

Right? Sometimes I like to walk up to my friends (none of whom vape) and say "Well, I vape a 650 maH batt at 3.7 volts, pretty standard, all VG mostly 0mg, with an LR atty and driptip or an LR carto." And they're all "O...kay..." and I'm all "And it tastes like cinnamon!" XD

 

[mickeybob00]

lol, i have learned to be less detail specific in my explanations around here, most people just give me the deer in a headlight look.

 

[salami_salome]

What's the point in learning all this technical stuff if you can't use it to be pretentious at cocktail parties? I KID. I don't go to cocktail parties. XD

 

[mickeybob00]

Well the technical stuff is always what has seemed important to me, but most of the people around here would only know the technical stuff about there tractors lol

LOL i do that while trying to explain PVs to my mother. I want to get her converted and i want her knowing all the terms and stuff. I also do that with friends and they are like "Uhhh what???". Now someone on the street who asks me about it i am very basic with.

Personally im not sure what term i prefer... when explaining them to people its easier to use the E Cig term but when talking about them i usually call them a PV.

1. Johnson Creek. They all tasted the same to me at first (burned rubber bands) and I thought I was going to throw them all out. Gave it a week and some I really liked, especially the menthol ice and the cherry. Could not vape the espresso or the spiced apple. I don't order from them often because of the price but they are pretty good IMO.

2. PV for the same reasons.

Those are too complicated for me... thats sure to confuse a lot of people! hahaha

Probably a good idea not to include the acronym for Personal Environmental Nicotine Inhalation System! LMAO

 

[Loveridden]

My fav JC juices are Solstice & Black Cherry. Should be getting a small sample of Tundra soon from my Aunt. Also liked Valencia but was a bit much for me, need it in small doses!

I call it to ppl not in the know my "fake cig." I say PV to them and they just go "huh?" no matter how many times I say it.

Mixologist ... you mean to say you wouldn't proudly announce, "I love sucking on my P.E.N.I.S"???? Oh that is so funny!

Especially if you have a super mini!

 

[El-ahrairah]

I tell most people they are PVs, however certain people I have to say "ecig" because to them a vaporizer is something completely different. I once told one of my friends that I had just bought a new PV and an hour later he shows up at my house with a baggie of a lil sum-somethin', wanting to try my new vaporizer out!

oh my gosh! Bahahahaha! It took a minute, but I got it...that's awesome!

1. I don't vape VG juices. I use cartomizers on slim minis and get the best carto life with high PG juices, 20% or less VG. PG also lets the flavor and TH through better (though high PG can let through too much of nicotine's skin irritation through for some, especially at higher levels of nicotine). On an atomizer I have occasionally used up to 40PG/60VG - it's nice for dripping with manual batteries. But I won't let it in my cartos. And my recollection is that JC is a bit overpriced?

2. I go with ecig. Then don't have to explain it to newbs or strangers.

LOL thank god i only use a fat batt device now... and a HUGE provari! lmao

oh my gosh! Bahahahaha! It took a minute, but I got it...that's awesome!

LOL im not sure if the original person who posted Personal Environmental Nicotine Inhalation System realized the acronym for it LMAO.
