Holy moly Meli, you brought up the "good seeing to" thing.

Anyhoo, I was just trying to throw you what I thought was a self-deprecating and friendly "bone", so please don't bonk me over the head with it ... I really wasn't expecting sighs and facepalms.

No John, I made my comments on the 08th of August '12, You responded 11 Minutes later. 4 days short of a Month has passed.??? And I brought it up? I'm not the one rehashing it, if you feel my comments were directed at you, well, not much I can do about it.
Please Read the post again#639. Post is not directed at any member in particular, comments made are simply my peeves. I still maintain if the cap fits...
And so far as throwing your 'bones' at me, I'd rather you refrained.

Oh, I got one. Vapers who never let the damn ting out of their hands. My brother-in-law got me on vaping and when we get together for family functions I've recently noticed it never leaves his hand. Never. When I'm not vaping its in my pocket. I didn't hold on to smokes when I wasn't smoking.

I don't get him but he is an in-law, so that ought to tell you something.

that tells me he really really wants to make vapeing successful for himself and he feels he has a tenuous hold on his ability to maintain control. easy on the judgment....he is just doing the best he can.

In video reviews and things when people refer to battery mah's as maaa, instead of M-A-H. As an electronics engineer it drives me insane. lol

I'm in freaking accounting and this drives me crazy.

(And as an entirely inappropriate side note, you are cute as all heck)

I don't mind people asking about it, but when they ask in a nasty tone, that bothers me. A few weeks back I was at work - in sales - talking about the product we sell - which is not related to vaping - and this girl just cuts me off by reaching over the counter and jabbing my PV as she says, "What the **** is THAT?!" I wasn't using it while talking to her and her husband. I keep it on a lanyard because 1. I have no pockets and 2. I've had a battery stolen before when I put it down for a moment at work. However, doing what she did pretty much just tells me that you already know what it is and you are trying to pick a fight about it. So my response to her inquiry? "There it is." And I kept talking about what she originally asked me about, which was our product. My boss doesn't pay me to explain my PV, just our products.

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

Almost all products seem to come from china nowadays. So, it doesn't bother me there any more than anywhere else. It would suck for juice. Hence, the other 90% of my post.

my new pet hate are vapers (reviewers mostly) that seem to get bent outta shape because they have to tip a CE style carto to wet the wick. seriously?

Totally with you on that one.

i have to agree about the video loud/ quiet thing. i am an audio engineer so that definately makes me cringe.

Dito. Well, amateur, but I see where you'r coming from. PBusardo is the only one who seems to know what a limiter is. I'm also a photographer, so bad exposure does it as well. Basically youtube is the bane of my existence.

As a computer scientist, I say "get over it." It bugged me at first, but once you figure out that they know what they're talking about (to some degree, at least) it's just a different dialect.

Another one for me is just not having enough tanks yet. I'd love to just have a vivi nova to devote to every flavor I have……as it is, I have to choose. Oh well. Time to buy more (and too bad I didn't check my email all weekend).

On that note……it's a pet hate that vendors don't send out sale notifications in advance of big weekends. I get that they probably get more sales this way, but I've literally never bought anything at a labor day sale at any store because I don't find out about them until Tuesday.

Not only manufacturers of PVs but anyone selling anything ever...


Stop putting an "I" in front of your product name. No, seriously, we aren't fooled. Nobody with two brain cells to knock together is going to jump onto your crap just because you elude to an apple product. It's not a status symbol and no undergarments will be soiled by the expectation of your random letter I making us fashionable.

I think they all missed the boat, including Apple, should have been the "ME".

I completely agree! However, the problem, and the reason comanies do it, is because when the average consumer sees it, they DO make at least a subconscious association with Apple products, giving them the false sense that it is a superior product.

So that is what that "I" stands for. I had no idea..all that marketing was wasted on me :)

Naaaaww...that ain't it.
I have a tendency to misplace things (glasses, keys, id, etc).

I never let it out of my hands because I'm afraid I'll lose it.
Whenever it's not in it's holder, I'm holding on to it for dear life!
