Ok here is my biggest pet vape hate..... I travel for a living and as such do my due duty to visit as many brick and morter stores as I can but they are always in some small crappy parking lot to the point that sometimes I have to just drive by and park a few blocks away.

The other is when I am in the shops and I have been standing at the counter and they are setting people up with kist they really don't understand and even when I talk them into something simpler like a DCT the fools almost always never tell them they have to replace the carto. I have seen this 3 times and to the point one lady brought hers back in and she had completely burned it up to the point the silver tube came off when they got done telling her what was wrong they NEVER still explained that she would have to replace it every now and again. I did catch her in the parking lot and explained to her what was needed to maintain the unit.

Oh yea I could talk good stuff on some of the vape shops


Sent from my truck using 3 toasters a broken microwave and 6 rubber bands McGyver style......Chuck Norris aint got crap on me

When someone new asks for advice to get started and the response is along the lines of: Variable voltage device, inverted, rectified and inducted to 6000 mah capacity, (but watch the capcitive phase-limited reactance), quadruple coil cartos with custom boron-neodymium rolled mesh to replace poly-fill, and don't forget to only use 1.78 ohm @ 4.8 volts for fruit flavors and 6.1 volts with 2.2 ohm coils for dessert flavors. Oh, and mix your own juice at 63/37 PG/VG for 4.9 to 440 volts and 52/48 PG/VG for 4.89 volts or less.

I am thinking simple is better for someone new!

I think you forgot to mention the flux capacitor in there somewhere.

Nope, havent tried Gandalf yet, but I'm sure I will because I see rave reviews for it all over the place, and it will probably suck! Thats how this stuff works for me some times...

I did just order 4 Halo flavors the other day that I've read rave reviews of, they are all tobacco flavors too. Hope I like at least 1 of them, we'll see....

My pet peeve is my father. First, I am 37 years old so I consider myself a grown man but I do work for my father. He has been after me to quit smoking for years. I announced to him upon receiving my kit about 3 weeks ago that I had quit smoking stinkies. I proceeded to show him how my PV worked and made sure he was OK with me using it at work. He was fine with using it but he keeps hounding me about quitting.

He can't seem to comprehend the fact that nic does not cause cancer by itself. I finally quit smoking cigs and now all he wants to know is when I am going to stop vaping. And he has also pulled the "You have no idea what you are inhaling" arguement. Really?!?!?!


Yep, the first comment from my Mother's mouth after I told her I quit and that I was vaping was "so, when are you going to quit using that thing"?

My pet peeve is seeing e-cig commercials featuring people who look like they never smoked a day in their lives! They exhale, yet hardly any vapor comes out and they SMILE.

For WHAT?

For all the money they got paid to be in the commercial by that tobacco company that bought out Blu!

That's a GotVapes exclusive product, right?

Yes but there is a 15 year waiting list, and once you get it you have to drill five holes, rewick it with platinum wire and never forget to offer up ritual prayers before an altar consecrated to the obscure seven headed vulture/scarab goddess Anawacka, oh and replace that scew with a nail from christian bale's left big toe.

The more I think about it the more I realize that my biggest pet peeve (like with most other things) is going to be marketing, which will become more and more of a problem as vaping goes mainstream.

I'm sorry if anyone works in marketing, but it's all lies. Just plain, blatant lies. It makes it harder to find things that work and increases profits for everyone since now people need to try 3 or 4 of something instead of the one that works.

And 5 minutes after you do get to buy it ... rev2 will be released.

that is why, after a year and a half of vaping, I still use my little joye 510 and the ego with a little clear cart and a regular atty. totally uncomplicated and works for me :)
