Top Ten 'Newbie Mistakes' List

[VaporingQueen]

Believing everything you read on ECF instead of finding out what works best for YOU.

Not believing what you read on ECF.

Blaming your inability to completely quit analogs (there's that word again) and/or enjoy vaping based on the belief it was all due to faulty PV's, bad e-juice, poor filler, poor service, slow shipping, lack of information, relationship issues, weak moral character, inability to commit, hesitation to try something new, fear of pg/vg, and/or self criticizing because it didn't all happen effortlessly as soon as you tried your first PV.

vape On!!!!!!

Amen to that!!! I guess for some they want to be a slave to the analog, for me 27 years! Enough already, I bought PhillipM a Limo or at least a well equiped sedan

Lol that's exactly what I did!

Taking your very first vape with the empty cart that came on the Atty!

Paying too much or buying defective products at places like Smoking Everywhere.

This should definitely be # 1... but at the same time these products are what get a lot of people interested and doing research into the real world of e-cigs.

Some of the things I have done in the past that come to mind.

Buying a 24-36mg and overvaping and OD'ing on the nic. Of course I have done this on patches and nic gum.

(I had to mention this twice i do it every time I kick the death sticks)

Not buying enough juice to last till my next order

Buying a light duty Atty like a 401 and wondering why the vapor production sucks.

Thinking I can buy the juice I want anytime and that suck in infinite

Not trying other flavors or other jucies or thinking that tobacco is the only flavor out there you'll like.

Judging all a flavors base on your experiance form a single vendor.

Not buying a eGo or a Silver Bullet

10) Thinking this is all a gimic and never trying it in the first place!

OMG!!!! We did that!!! Saw them for sale at a truck stop in Oregon....and laughed. our bad....

Personal biggest mistake....buying WAY too much ejuice based on written descriptions and pretty pictures. BTW...not that the juice was necessarily bad....but like others have said...not accounting for how much your tastes will change over time.

It's so true! I have about 130mL of juice that varies from "this sucks" to "hmm, I guess it's o.k...."

The problem is I keep thinking, "maybe if I buy some XYZ juice and add that to it it'll taste like what I thought it would.." so it's a vicious cycle. help! I can't stop ordering juice!

I am guilty of that one.

 

[Haytoni]

Sticking the wrong end of my PV in my mouth and getting ...... thinking it's dead, and I have to buy a new one.

 

[iamjn]

Thinking that it was all just "hype" and not trying it sooner.

. . . to light an e-cig. (Hide the lighters.)

Putting the LED end into your mouth. (Come on, someone else must have done this in the beginning.)
