I hate when some-one says they want a small ciggish sized pv and get bashed to buy an ego twist instead.

or get bashed into any mod. my pet peeve also. no matter what "good" reason people have for doing it! I still use my little joye 510 and I'm happy with it. even if I had moved on to a mod, I spent 35.00 on it and at that price it would not have been a waste of money. it got me off and has kept me off a 38 yr 2 1/2 pad habit.

I agree. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE my twist and mini nova, but I still use my Blu when I want something smaller. I know about the limitations, but I like it ... and it keeps me from smoking when I can't have something the size of my ego with me, and for that alone, it was worth every penny. Sometimes, I just want the cig size/shape thing, it might not make any sense, but that's ok with me!!

I hate feeling like every time someone takes a toot while I'm watching a video review, that I have to take a toot. It's tootin' ridiculous. But toot I do!

:w00t:

*gets out the air freshener* :D

Guess its the disclosure that turned my stomach. Its like when they take a stop sign and put in a light. Someone must have had a wreck.

Yeah, just standard CYA stuff.

Same here. Will take it one more step and say I am happy when I blow out more vapor or jealous when I blow out less.

OK... hate when I realize, finally, that I need to stop buying a certain juice type. I have a vendor I love, but I had to admit tonight that the stuff I get from them is making my breathing almost as bad as when I smoked, and I don't know why. My jog tonight was terrible, and it was all my lungs. When I go back to check progress, I realize my bad runs are days I was vaping from this vendor. It kills me... my favorite juice is from them. :(

No doubt. It's like a little game. I like to try and eclipse my monitor in a plume of vapor. Thankfully, I can do it more often than not anymore.

Think it might be the PG/VG ratio? Is it a vendor you can customize?

Tail of the Dragon

Heh…funny story. One of my friends was riding a GSX-R of some ilk…wasn't a liter bike…maybe a 750…maybe just a GS……anyway…he went with some friends up to the Dragon a few years ago. I got a call several hours later.

"Hey. I don't want to talk about it. I'm fine, but can you pick me up at the Waffle House where GA 400 ends?" (we both lived in Atlanta)

Apparently his bike went over a cliff. He got stuck on the guard rail.

He (obviously) managed to walk away, and it was totally his fault. The rider he was behind took a weird line through a turn and he target fixated on the part of the guard rail he thought she was going to hit. She pulled out just fine. He didn't.

It was like 30 minutes in the car before he told me what happened.

Before you ask: Yes, I'm glad hes okay. Yes, I know how bad that could have been…so does he. Yes, he admitted it was his fault immediately. Yes, he kept riding (after getting a new bike). Yes, his friends stopped for him.

The weirder thing is that I really want to learn to ride. The only thing stopping me is money. Then again, the same is true for skydiving.

I tend to make sure that such people understand that by going with a look-alike they'll be sacrificing some undeniable advantages that they'd get with other vaping equipment.…If they have a decent handle on the pluses and minuses of the available choices and still want a look-alike, then great, get the excellent "Volt".

That's about where I am. My cig-a-likes gave me my first smoke-free day. But they woudln't have worked long term. And the only reason I got them was because I got burned by a Smoking Everywhere kit a few years ago and didn't trust that anything was going to be better. I'd also just had some big expenses and was broke.

If I had known (or at least believed) that stuff had gotten better and had more money, I would have started with a Provari.

If people are dead-set on something that looks like a cigarette, they're going to ignore people's advice and get one, especially with the way I've seen people give that advice.

Mine won't change until cig-a-like manufacturers start making their stuff out of high drain 10440 batteries……still crap battery time, but at least they'd have a chance of giving a good experience.

No doubt. It's like a little game. I like to try and eclipse my monitor in a plume of vapor. Thankfully, I can do it more often than not anymore.

I find it fun to take short webcam videos of myself vaping occasionally. At first, I did it because I knew cameras + lights make a difference in how vapor looks and I wanted to see if spending more money would actually get better stuff……and that was something I could gauge without spending that money.

Yes. Compared to a cig-a-like, spending more money leads to a better vape.

My current pet peeve, vendors who take forever to process and ship your order. I'm not talking about custom made juice here either, just off the shelf stuff. I have no vape shop close by at all, so I depend on mail order for everything I get. And, seeing as how I'm doing this because I quit smoking, it's things I either need or want to help me along with that. I'm a pretty patient person, but six days to process and ship something is unacceptable to me.

I love the dragon, haven't been there in a long long time. I was supposed to go down in July, to celebrate the bday of a very good friend that was killed in January, but I got married in July, and just couldn't time the trip :-(

We have some really nice roads here, but nothing like that. I always said the next time I was there, I was gonna get off the tourist path and go see what else was out there to ride.

Head out to have some fun :)

Sorry to hear about your friend man, that is always rough. If you get back down this way, let me know and we'll do some riding.

I know about the limitations, but I like it ... and it keeps me from smoking when I can't have something the size of my ego with me, and for that alone, it was worth every penny.

There are some nice 10440 battery sized all mechanical PV's out there, like the Super T stuff, for example. Pocket sized, and very well built. I have a Puresmoker Icon mechanical that I really like.

Yeah, that's pretty nuts for sure. I'd love to do the sky diving thing too, but I have too many hobbies already. Anyone want a couple of pre-made hobbies, so I can take up sky diving, or buy more vape gear? :D

Oh man! This!

Especially when it's a strong flavor.

Sent from my DROID Razr Maxx

I just want the last of m juice! It's most annoying when I'm at work. I don't actually take any bottles of juice in with me, just 3 or 4 filled CE3s ... and at the end of the work day I want it all! :p

No, I don't know what it is. I get similar ratios from everyone else. And they don't do customizing. The taste of these juices is very unique, so I personally think it could be something in the flavoring itself. I've always had issues breathing when vaping their stuff, but I had to actually admit it last night.
