Okay, I got a new one; I only live about 1/2 mile from work so I usually jam home for lunch; today I was getting ready to go back to work and I thought, should I slap a fresh battery in my mini LT? naw, my work doesn't allow vaping so I only get to sneak a few hits during my shift so I'll be alright; sure enough, on the short trip back I had a couple of weak hits indicating the battery is getting low and my mini is getting ready to shut off. $#@*&$@!!! Thankfully I had one of my Infernos as a backup.

I been watching a few new review videos and, and as usual, got annoyed at several things I saw. Now the presenters were all good and gave good reviews (more or less) but I got a few cringe worthy moments. First of all, the HORRIBLE knowledge of the meaning of words used. One youtuber kept saying the word "pungent" when they meant "dull" or "muted". They kept saying "I wasn't getting any flavor at all and no throat hit, it was quite pungent" ARRRg! It means the OPPOSITE of what you just said. It's a lot like whenever anyone uses that STUPID grimm green word "toot".

Also that slow....plodding....monotone drone style of speaking makes it very difficult to listen to the review.

And please, please, please... LOCK out your noisy dog(s), that stupid cat, any children, from the room you are doing your review video! They shouldn't be around it anyway, so why let them disturb you presentation?!?! Also turning off your chat client alerts so we don't think it's our own clients during your filming!

with that (rant) said thanks to all the youtube reviewers and keep em coming! cheers.

110 percent agree!

thats my pet peeve as well', vets, constantly saying; "no they need something that looks like a cigarette, they need something easy to start with'....oh my gaaa, sorry, but that is just treating newb's like imbiciles'. Do you really want them to go thru the hell that you did?, the echo's and igo's and ego's and boges and gas station crap?.. the amount of money you spent before you finally got a provari or other good quality mod?..why would you want them to spend all the money that you did? Its all about the inhale/exhale, throat hit, vapor production and the feeling of smoking, not the look of the smoke. a provari is NOT THAT MUCH harder to understand than any other ecig.

Mine is experienced vapors not telling Noobs to get a Mod...lol
Why start with an under powered/short battery life/weak hiting kit? I mean come on a Noob is coming off real cigarettes, they need someting with some punch to get that satisfaction... Right? Plus in the long run they will save money.....

Yeah that one breaks my heart', after soo many years and years of smoking, apparently quitting makes you a hero, but not enjoying something that will never kill you', because it looks too much like smoking... My Mom once said that to me, about when i was going to quit this as well, and it really hurt'.

I hate people assuming that my vaping is a cessation device and I haven't made the final step to quit smoking. I get asked several times a day when I'm going to "really quit". &%*#!?!?!?!?!?!

The last few drops in the bottle, you know, the one that circles around the rim, but wont flow to the tip! I know it's pathetic, but it irks me. I'm thinking I've got enough to top off my carto one last time, but NOOOOO, denied!

"toot" doesn't bother me much as I know it's common lingo with first responders referring to puffs of air off a breathing apparatus. I first heard it here: (about 40sec in) World Trade Center- amateur video taken by a doctor - YouTube

I always feel like I didn't get my full value from that. I want that 1/3 of a cent to use. :D

My biggest pet peeve is ex-smokers (whether they vape or not) who look down at smokers. I've known a lot of people who quit smoking and then suddenly become elitists and think they're better than the smokers...and that they suddenly have the answer to everyone quitting. Most of, if not all of us were smokers at one time. Even as smokers, we were still good people with good contributions to society and the world. The only thing we did was maintain an addiction that irritated people. I could say the same about people that inject $6.00 worth of espresso shots and then run around like chickens at work and rubbing me the wrong way. We hated being preached to, we hated being treated like 3rd class citizens, and we hated being looked down upon. We didn't quit smoking and/or pick up vaping because we thought it would be better than smoking. We quit smoking and/or picked up vaping because we thought it would be a healthier alternative. It doesn't make us better than the people who still smoke, it doesn't even mean we'll live longer or better than them....it just means we made a choice that fits us better as individuals.


Other than that... The word "analog", to describe a cigarette that wasn't electronic, is a little goofy. That one will take me some time to adjust to, I guess. Even "vaping" has taken some time to sound normal. Also "personal vaporizer" sounds like something I'd get at a sex shop. I call it a "nicotine inhaler" when people ask about it.

I agree with the above. No one preaches louder than a recent convert, and it's the very definition of hypocrisy in my book. As for the word "analog," I really like it! Sure it's a little inaccurate, but I think the humor in it is that it makes a cigarette seem like something that's low-tech or anachronistic.

I hate asking if something is good. One item is never the exact same as another. What works for you does not work for me unless its a Provari!!!

I also hate having to Sub to a fellow vapers YT channel to return the favor, when they only post reviews of juice. No matter what you say about a juice I will never be able to figure if I like it or not. Get over the Juice reviews. I only have one posted juice review. Id say 90ml of free juice is worth pissing people off once in a while. But if your entire channel is flavor reviews, then get a clue!!!
