That´s a Danish accent!!! And I thought Aussies were the problem!!! BTW, he´s drunk on PV!!!

Whoooohooo, I can now post in here.

It's not Danish.
It's an English dialect, from the Northern territories. It's called "Geordie" - from Newcastle. When he says "chow" it means to "chew", as in the vapour is thick.
(Geordie accent on a woman rocks for me)

Back on topic, I really hate the way my "Black Jacks" flavour has stopped - vaping tounge? Really need it back. The licorice/aniseed mix just doesnt cut it. Blackcurrant and aniseed (pernod and black) is hitting the mark tho'.

I was waiting to see how long it would take for someone to point it out, thought it best to leave it for a Geordie although it did occur to me that perhaps the ECF is full of Sunderland Fans. lol

Last night I was watching a German youtube vid on RBA's, caught myself putting the sound up in the hopes I might understand what he's saying :facepalm: I'm still holding my head even admitting to it...

Leads me to new peeve,

That youtube hasn't yet developed a spoken foreign language Translation app :glare:

OT Hey Balders, Where are you getting your Blackjack juice from please? I'm always in the market for that one...

Today I'm hating the look I get when I pull a syringe out of my vaping bag. I understand the connotations some people attach to it, but there are a lot of uses for syringes other than illicit drug use.

What does that have to do with goats??? (hehe)

But big YEAH - it's amazing what people will come up with to try to make anything new and different look absurd and stupid, especially given the absurdity and stupidity of breathing in burning tobacco leaves.

Humans; can't live with 'em, not allowed to disintegrate them with a ray gun. :)

I had that happen once. I was drawing while he was talking and just blew it towards his face. He smelled and asked, "what is that smell?"

After a brief conversation trying to be coy, it came out that he didn't know they weren't supposed to taste like air.

I consider this less saying I'm compensating for something than the truth--I'm worried about running out of battery life.

I guess another pet peeve is the people who stare at you as if they cannot imagine what you're doing. Just ask. Really, I look like the traditional yuppie, I don't bite.

A couple of mine:

When the guy who has never SEEN an e-cig tells you that they cause pneumonia.

When a noob who capitalises Every third Word and puts no punctualisation whatsoever in (what WOULD be) a four-paragraph post gets lambasted by some self-styled NASA scientist from Connecticut who tells them (until blue in the fingers) that they ABSOLUTELY MUST BUY a $250 Provari and a self-repairing Biebermeistervapor 4000 because the flux capacitor will meter out at a dedicated 40 smerkel volt-amps -IF you use a Klein CL100 - otherwise you'd get a measly 38 smerkel volt-amps if using a Fluke or Ideal meter.

Pearls before swine, dude - have you bought YOUR 4-year-old any chainsaws lately?

Ya get what I'm sprayin'?

I sell electrical supplies for a living and nothing frightens me more than a homeowner that comes in to buy stuff that they don't understand...




NB - "Smerkel" is a made-up word that only NASA scientists understand. YMMV.


Edit to add: The good folks who personally bring a copy of "The Watchtower" to your door every two weeks think that they are saving YOUR life. Think about it.

Who's recommending noobs buy Provaris????

Today's peeve is hearing that a family member read in an emailed newsletter that e-cigs have chemicals and poison in there and she worries about me using them. Yup... emailed newsletter is more accurate than my Dr. and the fact that I feel 1000 times better than I did when I was smoking. I told her nicotine is a poison in high doses, and I know exactly what chemicals are in my liquid.

Holidays that almost no one observes as a day off. It's really screwing with my vape mail. :D

Completely agree! Stamps.com said yesterday my goodies were at my local post office, BUT of course it was CLOSED for the stupid holiday! :glare: Sooo...This morning I go down there to try and get it before they put it on the stupid truck, cuz our mail doesn't come til like 4pm...and I go to work at 3pm..ggrrr...but of course they were still sorting, so I couldn't get it :-x

If I ask tribeca users what other juice they like, dont tell me its subjective to each individual. I know that. Im asking your opinion of the juice options that you think is good that you think may or may not be similar to tribeca. I totally understand I might hate the juice you suggest and think its nothing like tribeca. I wont hold it against you.

Vendor websites that are INCREDIBLY uninformative, and just seem to assume that the visitor understands ALL of the lingo, and what all of the items listed are used for and go with, how they work, how to use them, and why anyone would want to buy them.

Hell yes! I give this whole post a standing ovation.

All of this, I would still be lost if not for ECF and pbusardo.

Seems to happen alot. Someone's trying to move up from a cigalike and invariably there's one person who groupieshrieks GET A PROVARIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII. Nevermind they're trying to get used to the concept of a button, period.

Lol. Last time those people came to the house I just happened to have just gotten off work and pulled up in my car with Slayer playing, loudly.

Today's pet peeve: postal holidays. I'm twitchy waiting on the mail I would have gotten yesterday. And it's invariably going to run late today, as well.
