Yep!

But more to the point, vaping videos that are about 5 times as long as they need to be -- which is about 90% of them. Most of them seem to be recorded by people who think they are some superstar of vaping and their fans drool over over every word and exhale. Three words to those video makers: EDIT AND DELETE!

Truthfully, you can eliminate 70% of your video and lose nothing at all. And maybe you'll get people like me to actually watch them (rather than hitting Close after 90 seconds).

People have a short attention span. And they really don't want to watch a 20 minute video to discover that you like a particular juice that was given to you by a vendor and vaped from your fancy mod.

I only read about half of this.

My attention span wore ou.........SOMETHING SHINY!

Grabbing the wrong bottle of juice and not finding it out until you're away from home.:facepalm:

Thankfully that didn't happen to me this morning. I was able to grab one of my 18mg bottles and the associated eGo tank for it. Just that the tank was empty at the time, and filling and driving can be a bit of a mess.

I hate when my vaping pet slobbers all over my e-cig!

But, worse than that, I really hate it when my vaping pet buries my e-cig in the back yard like a bone!

Wait, what? Oh..... nevermind.

:p :D

ROFLMAO!!!!! Lay off the caffeine and slow down the vape, caffeinated! :p

People assuming newbies WANT or will be open to a mod. I never would have started or came back to it if mods were the be all end all. I started with my 78mm Volts. I still use those if I'm going somewhere for an hour or two. Now I have some 650mah and 900mah Volt X2s with clearomizers. They keep me satisfied.... and more importantly for me and a few people I've converted, they're very very simple.

I think when people recommend Provaris and LavaTube and the big mods, they're forgetting that the newbie is coming from a very tiny cigarette. Most people I've spoke with and convinced to try it aren't here on the forum, and weren't looking to do a bunch of research and start a new hobby. They were looking for something that closely mimicked what they were trying to give up. One thought my 78mm batteries were "too long" and wanted to buy shorties. He's been doing that for a few months, finally got tired of waiting for batteries to charge, and asked about a 650mah.

I think it's important to listen to what a newbie is looking for and recommend the best step for THEM at the time. Heck, I may end up with a Provari some day.... but had you handed me one my first day, I would have put it down and lit a cig.

update: i figured out how to fix my carto shorting out problem!
the 510 adaptors i was using with my carto tanks was causing the center post of the carto to depress, which was the source of the problem! it happened again today and i fixed it by pulling the center post back down with a sewing pin!
hate: wasting 5 cartos when there is a simple way to remedy the problem.

Glad you got it fixed. Nothing worse than having a problem that you can't figure out. That happens a lot with electronics.

When the LED on your only Twist makes 40 blinks.

Payday needs to get here soon so I can buy a 2nd one. Just wish the local store had them in blue. But MVS has them, and I've had good experience ordering, so might end up getting from them.
Seen a co-op for the twist for $20 here on ECF.

Laynards...... do people really wear pv's around their necks? :facepalm:
Yes. Have one on now. Its a good place to keep a mini, and its hardly noticeable. Ever had a battery die and wish you had back up? I do :laugh:

And here we have it. Another "Vaping Pet Hate". Everyone assumes we all want SS car battery's. :D

Ya know, I think that's why I'm drawn to the GLV-2. All the color options. If they ever make in a VV, I'll be in heaven.

Makes me wonder if the GLV-2 can be Kicked or not. I know there has been some discussion about it. Might have to head over to GLV's forums again soon.
