What are your Vaping Pet Hates ;)

[SnakeFarm]

The only time I call it that is for the benefit of the TSA, or when asking about using it at a bar or something. I generally say "it's called an e-cig, which is stupid as it is nothing like the non e version".

Me too thinkingaboutit. I called them e-gigs as long as I was using the lookalikes (about a month), but I started calling it a "steamer" as soon as I got my first mod. Now my family calls it "dad's steamer." A lady at a neighborhood party had a lookalike and my daughter asked her if it was a "steamer." A DPS officer (another story) asked me what it was and I told him it was a steamer. He said, "Oh." and we moved on to discussing my driving habits.

I'm using a ProVari now, but if they come out with something comparable that is more "brass goggles" looking, I'll probably switch.

I've been smoke free for One year today. I'm telling everybody.

Probably that thing really irritates me is to go home after a long day awaiting to have some relaxing time vaping and to realize there is no juice anywhere in the house, and the one I have will be enough just for couple of pulls.

Yeah, that's harsh. Reordering was the biggest hurdle for me. For a while I resented being obligated to place another order. That resentment coupled with unreliable pv performance contributed to me briefly picking up the cigarette habit again. Thankfully I got over that feeling. It's just something you gotta do...no sense making myself miserable over it.

Bottle down to 1/3. Time to reorder.
Period.

I find it simpler to just call it a cigarette. The word "cigarette" needs no explanation; everyone know what it means.

Now since the Provari looks nothing like a cigarette...especially with a tank attached...one of two things happen.

1. The questioner simply walks away, or
2. I'm asked "how" this thing is a cigarette. I now have the ATTENTION of someone who WANTS to learn about electronic cigarettes. I don't "vomit" on them (give the person more information than they're interested in)...I give the questioner a brief description of what an e-cig is and how it works.

"Keeping it simple" works to everyone's advantage.

Ok here is my last pet HATE.....places that rape the customer on juice prices claiming how good they are. I just looked at a site that is just starting up and they were charging 23.50 for 30ml that is absurd to me and don't feel anything over 10.00 for 30ml is worth it when it cost me 1.63 to make a 30ml bottle of DIY juice. If I bought the nic and juice in bulk the way they are I could chop it down even further. There is no real way any of them can justify the price they charge. Like the juice that comes in the blue bottles.........no way would I ever give them any money for what is mediocre at best

i dont always rock the cruise control for cool, but when i do, i know you take me more seriously!

Smokers who feel their love for analogs is stronger and more passionate then those who have quit using Ecigs or anyone else for that matter. For example When you tell a friend/smoker they should give vaping a chance and their answer is "It wont work because I REALLY like smoking" or "Nah, it wont work for me because I really like the way cigarettes taste"..... Like they have some sort of deeper relationship with their cigarettes then any one else did or does!!!

Also, when an uneducated smoker/non-smoker who's read 1 article tries to teach me about all the bad chemicals Ecigs contain. Like they've done more research then I have...!

I couldn't agree with you more!

Oh no no no, quite the opposite. I only use it when I'm trying to be funny and/or obnoxious.

The fact that I'm going to have to invest in a hands free magnifying glass I think if I want to keep rebuilding my Phoenix. Sheesh things are tiny down in there.

I'm not sure if this was serious or not, but it's easier just to put people like that on your ignore list.

If he's who I think he is, I'm probably on his too, so he won't see this unless he goes out of his way.

My vaping pet hate……it takes 4 mouse clicks on ECF to ignore a user and get back to where you were.

Also……I hate the fact that there's not a juice sample reseller. If I could buy 20 5ml bottles from a handful of vendors in one transaction and with one shipping fee instead of one or two here, another there, etc. ad nauseum……I'd probably find a lot of juices I like. I haven't tried boba's bounty becuase I don't think I care about any other AVE juice and shipping just for 1 small bottle seems pointless……similar with the few I want to try from HHV, Rawr, pink spot, etc..

I WANT SOMEONE TO START A JUICE WAL-MART.

Keep in mind that almost all products in WalMart seem to come from China.

Man, do I agree with the second one! However, I DO like to introduce my smoker friends to vaping, so I've taken to always carrying a few of those little sealed alcohol swab packets (you can pick them up at any pharmacy; about $1-$2 for a box of 100; they're like moistened towelettes you get at the rib joints, only with alcohol instead of hand cleaner). Then, if someone want to try a drag, I just wipe off the mouthpiece with one of those little alcohol swabs—usually with some line like, "Here, you don't want my germs." That way the mooch won't be insulted when you use the same swab to wipe off the mouthpiece when you take it back ...

My 2.

People who ask if the e-cig is really helping me quit. I don't consider it a quit... it was a switch. I switched because I wanted the general act of smoking and the nicotine but wanted the health benefits as well. It's not something I'm planning to do for a month or two and stop. It's not the patch.

People who ask to try it. Uh... ew? I've let two people try mine. One is my mother. The other is a guy I work with who I've been friends with for so long that he's pretty much my brother. I had one other guy who tried it at my invitation, but didn't put his mouth on it. One guy just reached over the counter and stuck his mouth on it... I don't even know the guy's name! I had to throw the cartridge out! (I have a serious germ issue, so I had a hairy fit THEN I threw out the cartridge by handling it with six tissues)
