What are your Vaping Pet Hates ;)

[Wolf308]

SERIOUSLY??? I smoked from (approx.) 1976 through 2011. I never heard anyone argue about their smokes. Maybe's it's a geographical thing?

And YES, they most certainly DO both suck.

I used to hear it occasionally. Although, to be fair, I was usually the one being told I needed to try whatever brand because I was a brand hopper. I started on Marlboro and then went to Winston and then to Parliament. Winston and Parliament seem to bring the most jeers.

People who think it's somehow weird to not want an all-day everyday vape.

Millions of people eat rice for breakfast, lunch and dinner, too. That may appeal to you, but I'm not sure why you think it's silly of me to prefer variety.

Personal taste, always. If you find one you just love and want to stick with it, do so. My mom is a one juice kind of girl. Me, I want to try them all. One of the things I really enjoy about vaping is that you can change the flavor whenever you want to. It was one of the reasons I switched to a tank very tentatively. Cost finally did it for me, but I was worried about getting tired of the liquid too quickly. I do. So I only fill the tank half way.

I am posting a pet peeve from my friend who can't post yet...

I feel ostracized by those who judge me for being a non-smoker who enjoys vaping 0mg juices. I have various reasons for doing so plus I just enjoy it. I don't ask that you understand, just that you don't judge.

I totally understand that. It's fun group of people to be with, and the stuff tastes great. Who cares if it has nic in it or not? I don't. I have some 0 nic liquid myself, which is strange since I vape the highest nic level usually. That, too, raises eyebrows. Apparently something is off with me because I choose the strongest nic level. WTF?!

I keep a variety of nic strengths around, including zero nic. Sometimes I just feel like I need more or less, esp if I've been taste testing a lot of new stuff. It's so easy to over-vape when you've got new goodies to try.

As for high nic levels- there are people on here who have been vaping 36 mgs for years, and they haven't exploded yet- I seriously doubt if you will either.

Vape what makes you happy, that's what it's all about. I just ordered my first order of juices with 0 nic. I smoked for 20+ years, started vaping at 18mg, and been vaping at 6mg for a couple of months now. It's a personal journey, and I'm where I want to be. I love vaping, and doubt I will ever give it up...if someone wants to laugh at me for vaping 0mg that's their issue and has nothing to do with me.

 

[Wolf308]

Personally I don't see how what nic level you use is of any concern to anyone other than yourself and the guy digging the juice bottles out of a basket for you.

A sort of pet hate and nic level story for me is the joy of getting a new sample pack in the mail, just to dizzy myself out from trying them all....lowered my next order.

I agree with you their.
some people bought the same smokes daily though and i can see how they're used to consistency. plus there certainly are some yucky juices (bacon i'm looking at you)

however, i bought different smokes and dip and snus everyday so i prefer variety

With cigarettes, towards the end of things, we had 2 choices. Regular and menthol. When I had the choices of flavors like Camel Exotics, I bought them often, but not all the time. Variety is one of my favorite aspects of vaping.

I tend to order new flavors at 16 or 18mg depending on what the vendor offers. Once I try it out, if I like it, I decide when I want it most, and order strength based on that. My Keoke coffee flavor, it's my wake and vape and get to work. I have it at 24mg. My favorite caramel apple, I vape my eye balls out on that one in the evening. 10mg.

Death metal intros in American video reviews.

Incessant vapor-ring blowing in British video reviews.

Juice reviewers who succumb to the power of suggestion based on the name of a juice -- ex: "I'm reviewing Captain Jack by Halo. I definitely get nice taste of premium liquor here, like Captain Morgan's mixed with Jack Daniels." What?! I want my 5 minutes back.

When people vape and still refer to it as smoking -- ex: "When I'm smoking my PV..."

When people ask me "Are you still using that thing?"

When I'm showing my PV to a friend who smokes and I get a look that I interpret as skepticism mixed with disgust from their non-smoking significant other who wants the friend to quit smoking. I find this one very confusing.

Anti-smoking people who are also anti-vaping. Don't you want us to have any fun?

When someone posts in ECF with a PV trouble-shooting question and someone responds: "That's why you should have bought a such and such."

When someone writes a juice review and says it tastes like "puke" or "vomit." I don't doubt that there are a few out there that might taste like vomit, but Boba's Bounty? Really? But I thought it tasted like graham crackers.

The fact that sarcasm and irony are difficult to convey in posts without resorting to an emoticon like this one:

I agree that the "taking a toot" thing has to go.

i actually like the taking a toot thing lmao but taste is subjective and bobas , even though i liked it alot had a very aquired taste

What irritates me on this forum are the people who always recommend dripping on an atty. I smoked 2+packs a day. Sure I want to take three puffs every 4 hours. Give me a break. That is all well and good for some people but at least find out a little bit about what the person wants or needs before you recommend something.

 

[meeems]

It's not a pet peeve for me, but I too am not an atty dripper, unless i'm unsure about a juice. but even then, i just risk it and fill a tank up and pray..

lol! I think you may have some major misconceptions about dripping if that's what you think we do.

USPS.

I had 2 shipments coming in today from different vendors. According to the USPS tracking site, they were both out for delivery from the same post office this morning. And only one of them showed up. The less important one.

Also, why do all redbull juices seem to taste like Monster? If I wanted monster, I'd cut off my balls and drink monster.

Setting the scene:

Me vaping some zero-nic juice outside with a couple of smoker colleagues

Cue colleague number 1: "So... When are you going to ... you know... REALLY quit?"

Me: "Dude... I haven't smoked for six months"

Him: "Yeah... but there's nicotine in that!"

Me: "Erhm... no. Zero-nic. It's vapor and flavor... There's no nic in this."

Him: "????? So why are you still using that thing?"

Me: "Because I enjoy it."

Him: "Yeah... you're still smoking."


W.............T..............F?

And yes... My absolute pet peeve is idiocy...

Juice in the mouth from attys!

-Atomizers that taste of anything except my E-liquid of choice. Has "primer fluid" been debunked as an excuse for that taste, or is it just industrial grease? I would gladly pay extra for pre-cleaned atomizers that are usable immediately.

-The fact that there are many more vaping review videos than written reviews. I prefer to read, and I don't always have a mobile data connection to watch videos.

-Certain posters on this and other forums who assume that we all possess high levels of technical knowledge. Let's say someone asks a question such as; my device/carto/tank/etc is not working, is there an easy way to find out what is wrong and fix it? Inevitably, a reply will come back shortly:

Oh, that? I just mod it by cracking the posterior gasket and then resealing it with pure uranium. Then I wrap it up with a wick made from pure USA-made silica. Chinese just isn't as good. Then I replace the titanium tungsten mesh with carbon platinum mesh and replace the tank with one of my wife's lipstick tubes. Easy!

I may not have the words exactly right, but I 'm sure you know who I'm talking about.

 

[Striker911]

Ecig clicks! Are you for real? We all know them groups. Threads that have the click. If you try to get in they act like you dont exist cause your trying to get that hard to find mod that they cant. Or maybe they have it but for whatever reason think you shouldn't.

Post in the outside and your a rabbit in a tigers cage. Doesn't matter how stupid someone sounds they are rite every time. Likes all around except for the guy that makes the most sense.

Yeah, I seem to still have quite the morning breath even after 3 months of vape only. Ah well.
