Hey man, I respect that. Heck thats my goal as well. Already dropped from 24 to 18 in my first month! But this:
As the first post to a new member who was all excited about quitting the stinkies? Nope. That's pure jerkwadery with a little snobbishness and arrogance thrown in for good measure.
Congrats on the nic downgrade! I am about to make my way down to 12mg myself. That is, of course, once I burn through the 300ml of 18mg juice I have.
Concerning the comment(s) by jerkwad, that specific member is an A1 d-bag. Just unnecessary comments that are meant to instigate a fight. No manners, no sense, no decency. Just malicious pot shots that stress the "my way is better than your way" attitude. That is as closed off as a mind gets.
As one of the "founding members" of the Electronic Cigarette subforum over there, I have to say you are all correct.
They do what they do, and we do what we do, and there is value in both perspectives.
And that's pretty much the nicest thing I can say about them.
After that I start talking about brainwashing and ignorance when I speak about them.
But at least everyone here is free to disagree with my perspective.
There is no freedom there.
Are they all that bad? I find it hard to believe that the entire forum is that adamantly against e-cigs. Surely, there has to be a few members that recognize that e-cigs are definitely a better option than smoking cigarettes, whether it be long term, or just in the interim. 3,999 out of 4,000 chemicals agree!
One difference I can plainly see is that here on ECF, every single victory, no matter how large or small, is recognized as a step in the right direction, and is to be celebrated. For some reason, people are drawn to that and seem to want to participate in that celebration. How strange?
Also, ECFers have a certain tolerance for falling off the vaping wagon from time to time, and when it does happen, there is always a multitude of people there to pick them back up and help them onto the wagon again with the resounding message of "Don't beat yourself up about it. It happens." I like that.
I think I will explore that forum for a while. I will be wearing a tin foil hat to avoid any unwanted brain waves that I may happen upon, and I will leave a trail of breadcrumbs to find my way back, so don't eat them! If I come back zombified, you have my blessings to take me out. 2 in the head should do it.
Wow. I went trough the first couple pages of that forum, and DAMN those are some crazy people. It reminds me of an alcoholic who hasn't had a drink in 2 months and freaks out at a party because someone brought a rum cake. lol what a bunch of nutters.
Now that's funny! LOL
I remember seeing one comment that said that vapers should not be able to vape indoors because when they see someone vaping, it makes them want a cigarette. Hey buddy, practice that self control. Practice.
