hehe... not to mention the copy and paste pages and pages (ie. novella length) of links to thousand $ proucts (that are not even available and have months long waiting lists) and volts and watt charts, and why two holes are better than one in the carto in the handblown etched glass tank, and..... last but not least, why VV saves lives :p.

vaping Pet Peeve: ^ ^ ^ ^ ^

(Oh, and variable voltage does save some of the 440,000 American lives lost each year to cigarette smoking. I think that disagreeing with that would be illogical.)

And I've always kinda liked this quote ....

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat". - Theodore Roosevelt

In other words - I'm just doing my best, and at the risk of inviting yet more criticism, I could do without it.

My pet vaping hate is the persistent hunk'o'gunk that stays lodged right around my larynx and I can't get rid of it. vomit-smiley-011.gif

Yeah, I know, TMI ... :D

Maybe Im an anomaly. I didn't quit smoking till I had a vv device. It allowed me to dial in the TH and flavor to satisfy my early morning cravings. Then dial back for the rest of the day.
Money well spent in my opinion.

I guess I'm weird. I like higher power than a lot (9W is where I start tasting things), but I can't stand that much first thing in the morning. My first hit is around 7, and I'm up to around 10 an hour later.

My new found pet hate: CR2s are considered unsafe. I'd love to run a BB at 6V without being afraid of blowing my face off……mostly because I think it's pretty. I guess I should experiment with making some 1.1 or 1.2 ohm coils.

100% agree!!! Drives me absolutely nuts. We don't help noobs when we do this. It's about the NOOB. Not about US!!!! The ones that kill me is when a noob asks what a good starter kit is and the first reply is a photo with all the replier's mod arsenal...Provaris, Darwins, Lavatubes...all decked out with fancy clearos, cartos, and RBA's on top. Give me a break!!!

^^^this...this is what I had the hardest time with. When I first got on here looking for info...where to start, etc...my initial feeling was, "oh crap...what did I get myself into here?" I think people have to remember that all of this stuff is rather complicated and confusing to someone completely unfamiliar with a PV. Mods and stuff are great, but most noobs are just looking for a reasonable, quality solution to getting off the cigs...if they want to get into mods and all kinds of other stuff later, this will just occur naturally.

Everyone has to start somewhere, and like I said...most are just looking for a solution that isn't a total rip-off. I have a rule that applies to most things in my life...K.I.S.S. whenever possible. Keep It Simple Stupid!

ahh I can't believe I just read this entire thread. Took a few days, but this was fun, you all are fun!

To add my pet peeve - when the tank looks almost entirely full so I leave the house with it thinking I'm good, but it actually contains thick, vaporless sludge and the only solution is to wait until I get home, then dump the entire tank, clean, and start over.

The little drop of juice that gets left in the bottom of every single delivery device available...... just seems wasteful that I can't vape it ALL!

I mentioned this earlier ... but for me on my CE3s, its a drop of juice that attaches itself to the silicone top cap. Grr. Ah well. I'm trying out T2s now. Maybe this will be better. :)
