Collectors who get their panties in a twist when anyone says one of the pvs in their stable is crap.They take it as a personal affront.To them, it seems vaping takes a back seat to collecting as many Pvs as possible. Quantity versus quality, whoever dies with the most toys wins etc.

At what point does it move from collecting to hoarding semi-worthless crap and arguing about each items merits all day long on a forum thats dedicated to vaping NOT COLLECTING!

END RANT.

I feel ya! The whole point of stopping the stinkies is saving $$$$$ I would rather have one thing that works for me than 10 things that don't.

I may have already said this somewhere in the long thread, but I hate it when vendors whine.
...we have regular jobs
...I have personal problems
...I have a real life
...we have too many products to make sure our descriptions are correct
...we get too many emails/calls
...etc, etc, etc

really, I. don't. care.
if you are too busy, unorganzied, whatever...
I. don't. care. if you take my money (which you won't wait on no matter what problems I may have) then send me my stuff, or correct the order that was not described/sent correctly. just please stop with the excuses.
I am seeing this more and more on the forum........

A couple of new pet hates:
1. When my cat knocks the cap from my PV off of the end table and I have to root around under the couch after it. At least there's not a lot of dust bunnies...
2. Today I broke my thumbnail off into the quick. It wouldn't be so bad except that it's the thumbnail I use to push the button on the battery. I'm having to push it differently, and it feels awkward. :-(

Ouch ... you know something ... I can almost feel that .... i hate it when that happens ... damn .....

well ... the good news might be that it's stopped stinging , and will be downright tolerable pretty soon, and maybe fully pain-free in a day or two, even with battery pushing .... but man oh man .....

lesson learned ... when feeling around for something, be mindful of the forces and velocities involved, to minimize self-damage .. what i find interesting is that you might not have had any free will about breaking it or not breaking it .... because the neural activity in your brain that fired the muscle movement was the result of prior experiences ... like maybe the cat had done this before ... which sounds likely, since a one-time occurrence would not strike me as a "pet peeve" ....

but anyhoo ... it seems to me that we do not really "control" our actions to the extent we "think" we do, if at all ..... so please forgive yourself ... it is not - in my view - your "fault" ... and once you forgive yourself, then you forgive others, and then everything's good .....

Pet peeve: that I used to have pet peeves ..... and I leave you with that koan ...

peace, and happy vaping :)

There are a lot of pet peeves listed that I agree with, so I will tell you the most recent annoyance I experienced...

I was outside a movie theater waiting to buy tickets and blew some vapor into the air. Everyone was fine except one woman who just held her nose and coughed and hacked until I told her it wasn't smoke. She took her fingers off of her nose, and sniffed the air, and said it smelled good. Michael Scott ("The Office") was right when he said, "Never Assume. It makes an ... out of U and Me." :laugh:

pet peeves-
Juice vendors who charge twice as much as others for the same size product.
Calling a hardware vendor because the battery they just sent me doesn't work and getting their 5 year old child, then a wife who says "oh he's out in the yard. He'll call ya later."And I never hear from him.( Also, the battery which doesn't work came with a handwritten note saying he tested it. Yeah, right.)

THIS!!!!

I recently ordered a backup ego-twist and some other misc. items from a vendor I had purchased from 1 time before. They sent my order, but forgot to include the ego twist. I emailed them, and it took them a couple of days for them to get back to me and asked me to take a picture of the invoice and send it to them. (friday night) I waited all weekend until Monday evening to hear anything back from them, and was .......

I sent them a email saying "I guess you guys don't work on weekends" and got a rude letter about how the "business" is run by a husband and wife and "how dare I say that they don't deserve time to themselves."

well, If you cant get my order that I paid for out to me right, you don't deserve time off for a job well done. Is your job so hard that you can't take the time to answer ONE email over the course of a weekend? Completing transactions that have been paid for should be priority, not having the weekend off.


I don't know anyone who takes the weekend off from vaping.

Oh, they sent me my battery, but said that I should take my business elsewhere.

I sure will.

<this was sweet-vapes.com, please help them have their "time-off" by taking your business elsewhere.>

Thanks for the tip meli. I may have to go back to LF if it gets bad. I used to get my VR stuff from them until I switched to UK Eliquid. But neither of them have Kentucky Premium Blend in stock right now (or if they do it's at a ridiculously high nic dosage).

I started a new thread under 'General E-Liquid Discussion' called 'Suggestions Pls - Alternatives to VR Premium Blend'. If anyone knows of a good e-liquid that is similar to Premium Blend, please do post there! :)

Speaking of certain vendors, my new vaping pet peeve: those STUPID "are you over 18" disclaimers ON EVERY FRIGGIN' PAGE of their site. OK, I understand the need for one as you enter the web site (honestly, do those things ever deter anyone under age?) but do they really need one on EVERY page of their site? Even adult sites don't pull that crap and would it really scar someone underage to see an ego or a new kanger? ...
