You have left me a little confused should I cancel my pre order for the bloog then ? ;-)

Sadly, yes, you probably should. I hate to admit it, but I think you've convinced me that the V2 has got it beat ....... (sigh)

No merely trying to have a laugh if that was intended towards me however if i am being viewed as a troll I will stop :)

Fish, I've been called far worse, and far more deservedly. You're no troll, mate. :)

(Maybe someone's just experiencing a little ProVari envy) lol

As we say in the States - "Wowee Zowee".
At the risk of sounding like a damn youngin………how the :censored: old are you? Has anyone ever said that except velma?

90% of forum members anywhere just waste time. If you're not going to have a sense of humor about everything, you don't belong on the internet.

I've read this whole thread, but I can't remember if this has been mentioned, so

one of my vaping pet peeves is

throwing out liquids!

if you don't like it, put it on the classifieds or give it away in the PIF section. just because you think it tastes like an old dirty sock that has been soaking in poop does not mean it's bad! someone else probably LOVES it!

Hey, I'll be the waster around here, if you don't mind. Go find your own forum to ruin! :)

And those Nigerians certainly are lovely people, and so generous. I just sent off a measly $5,000 for all of the crown jewels of the Royal Family ..... saaaaa - weeeet!!

At the risk of sounding like a damn youngin………how the :censored: old are you? Has anyone ever said that except velma?

I think Velma Dinkley is more the "Jinkies/Jeepers" type - maybe "Wowee Zowee" is a regional thing, more common here in New England. As for "how the :censored: old" am I; my first concert was this new group called "The Beatles". Not sure what ever became of them, but some of their tunes were pretty catchy. [This is for Fishtec: "Not bad, for Brits" LOL]

90% of forum members anywhere just waste time. If you're not going to have a sense of humor about everything, you don't belong on the internet.

I totally disagree; it's at least 98%. :)


now, let's all :vapor: :toast:

I totally agree. :)


I'd much rather know the nicotine/PG/VG content than have a label that stays on for 30 seconds under water. I don't know about anyone else, but I don't submerge my juice very often.

Seriously, what is up with that? This could actually be a fairly serious health issue; can't someone be so sensitive to PG that they really need to know how much, if any, is in their e-liquid??

Where's Pacman when we need him!?

Hang on ............... I'll look for him ................... he must be around here somewhere ............ :laugh:

I've been guilty of that. I'm weird about vaping opened liquid from strangers, so I guess I assume others might be too.


My yummy stuff people asked about was from The Plume Room. Very nice juice. The peanut butter cream pie I ordered is very good, but I'm killing the honey fig tobacco I got as a sample. I'm not a tobacco fan either, so that's saying something. The only complaint I have is that the PG/VG content is not on the labels, but I do know what I ordered. Unlike some vendors it's not a secret, it just wasn't on the bottle.

Peeve of the day..... when I forget to label what's in my clearos. I have no idea what I'm vaping at the moment.

All of this, I would still be lost if not for ECF and pbusardo.

Oh, hellz yeah! I've been going through pbusardo reviews, and only yesterday finally saw how cartomizers worked with tanks - that they were actually two separate things, one of which could be used independently. I was stone amazed. I also felt kind of stupid, but that's common enough.

Lol. Nice.

I'm actually not a beatles fan. Great songwriters; terrible performers……at least based on videos. Still, to their credit, they wrote some of the most amazing songs of the last century………they just couln't play them worth a damn (Imagine being the exception that proves the rule).

...........

Today's peeve, juice labels that don't tell me what the PG/VG mix is. Proprietary mix??? Really???? I can't do more than 50% PG, so not only will I not vape this, the vendor (well known around here) will never get any business from me, nor will I tell anyone to ever use a juice they don't know the contents of.

I have asked several vendors who don't reveal their pg/vg mix ratio if they could tell me it it had more pg than vg (for instance) all have been very nice about it, for instance halo told me their liquids have more pg than vg.

I think vendors should give you more than a remote clue about what you're vaping.

There is no excuse for a vendor not to tell you the exact PG/VG ratio of their juice. Vendors that say it's "proprietary" (halo) are FOS.

Yeah, that proprietary PG/VG ratio is about the stupidest thing I've ever heard of. If someone who knew what they were doing was to try to imitate it, it would take all of about an hour to do so, I imagine. The drawback is that it keeps their customers in the dark and may even put some of them at risk for health issues. Totally senseless.

And have you ever seen anyone in a forum post something like "Man, Halo's PG/VG ratio is really amazing! That's what I really love about them!" ? Me neither.

To me, the PG/VG ratio is equivalent to the alcohol content of liquor ... is it 80 proof or 150 proof? Knowing that information tells me nothing about how the hooch is formulated, but it does give me some pretty vital information for my own personal usage of the product. Since some juice vendors will give you the same flavor in a variety of PG/VG ratios, it's pretty obvious that flavor recipes are more or less independent of carrier ratio ... tell us, and don't hide behind "trade secrets"; that's bogus, IMO.

That's a very good analogy. And to my way of thinking, if a juice vendor is so worried about making a buck that they keep their formula such a secret that they won't even tell you the PG/VG ratio, then I'd feel inclined to hit them right where they seem to care; right in the pocketbook. I'd like to see everyone boycott any vendor who refuses to disclose it.

Anyone have any ideas about how to mount an effective boycott?
