My peeve is when you tell people <in the forum> that you bought something...in my case the Mid One. and most everyone tells you why the thing sucks...and its not in anyones hands yet...

LOL

People ... can't live with 'em .... can't tase 'em without a really good reason ..... LMAO!

Actually, I just forgive 'em .... makes the most sense, and keeps me out of jail ... for the most part ..... :p

ECF =/= Twitter.

By my count, you still have 127 characters to work with.

Pet peeve: that I still have pet peeves.

When my dad says to me "Good, you finally smartened up and quit cigarettes, so when you going to
give up that thing up, (pointing to my e-cig) cause any smoking is bad for you!!"

Ignorance can be a real beeyatch too; I have a feeling you reminded him that vapor is not smoke .... then again, perfectly good breath is wasted on some (no offense, Pops, I'm sure you have your good points as well).

People who knock me for buying things that they don't think are necessary. I enjoy this as a hobby as well as an easy way to ween myself off of nicotine.

"Pet peeve", for lack of a more meaningful, less hostile term, concerning not just vaping, but life in general ......

People who "knock" anyone else, for anything ....

Seems to me that we're all on the same team, and that squabbling amongst ourselves is costing us the game ......

I find the term "analog" annoying. Vaporizers are no more digital than cigarettes are. "Stinkies" is good, though.

yes i get tired of that as well. also "atty", "carto" , "mod" . Some new people may not know what these terms mean. Just say or write the ... word. Also when people refer to milliamp hour as "mah" or "maw" like they are a hill billy asking when dinner will be ready.

I like using abbreviations. I bet you do to. Do you say "ATM", or "Automated Teller Machine"? "TV", or "television"? "Modem", or "modulator/demodulator"? "Gas", or "gasoline"?

I do agree with you that special consideration ought to be given to beginners so that "the lingo" is picked up as painlessly as possible, while allowing the vast majority to enjoy the clear benefits of being able to use convenient "shorthand" when referring to the wide variety of geegaws and doodads and whatzits in the vaposphere; "DCT", "EMDCC", "MAP" tank, "XL" cartomizer, "mg" vs. "milligrams", "ml" vs. "milliliters", kalamazoo Vapor Shop's "OMFG" Tobacco, and on and on.

Hey, happy freakin' New Year homies and homettes!

OK, let's get the new year started with a bang .... I've got three pet peeves (well, not really "peeves" ... just things that I think the world could do without ....... )

1) Sociopaths/bullies
2) People who won't even try a "proper" vape
3) Sociopathic bullies who won't even try a proper vape

http://www.mediafire.com/?7rywkxtqflcf2qd

(Give it up for me ... the guy had to be 230-240 lbs., and solid muscle ... much of it, apparently, inside his cranium LMAO!)

And yes, that's me smokin' a .... .... my New Year's resolution is to do what the hell I want, as long as it isn't illegal, immoral, or terribly fattening. I do love dabbling with ciggies ..... yum, yum, yum! (Please don't necessarily try any of this at home).

Woot! and party like it's 2099! :vapor: :vapor: :vapor: :vapor: :vapor: :vapor: :vapor: :vapor: :vapor: :vapor: :vapor: :vapor: :vapor: :vapor: :vapor: :vapor:

John D meets Musclehead:evil:

LOL!

Parents, please ... if your son asks for a puppy dog, by all means, PLEASE get him one! LMAO!!

And it doesn't really come through on the audio, but the guy really was big, and came within a whisker of buying himself some jail time, and me some hospital time. Regarding the latter, I think I'm gonna start availing myself of the wonderful protections afforded by the Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America. May those protections never be constructively abridged. That said, I wouldn't have needed an AR-15 with a 100-round clip to keep my ... out of the emergency room ... or worse yet, the morgue; a Glock 23 .40 would have sufficed, or a wide variety of other suitable "equalizers".

And all of that said, I realize that I would then no longer have the luxury of asking meatheads if they "wanted a piece of me", which I could do without anyway. Not good for the ol' ticker lol!

Pet Hate (not a Pet Peeve, this is a Pet Hate):

Having something in my GD hand one second, and then it vanishes into thin air. I am looking for my blue Twist with a DCT/Boge on it, and even though I just had the damn thing, I cannot locate it, so I might as well not even own it, it seems to me. Well, not quite, because it doesn't have legs, and it didn't take the bus, so I'll find the little pecker, but holy crap, how does this even happen? Right in front of my one second, and then POOF!, just like Frodo slipping on the damn ring, it's gone. It's a damn miracle, I tell ya; the total discombobulation of matter. Nobel prize in physics, here I come.

And it's all because I left one of my Twists at an acquaintance's messy shop, and because my shop is currently messy, except it won't be for much longer, because the last step in getting your crap together is finally being kind enough to yourself to organize your shiite so you can freakin' find it, which of course necessitates your stopping running round like a chicken with your head severed for long enough to do just that; organize, organize, organize. If someone calls you "...." for doing so, just say "I love you" and keep doing what you're doing; they're just jealous, and jealousy is one of the Seven Deadly Sins.

Actually, there are now Eight Deadly Sins. #8 being "Not having a spare lanyard". Man oh man I love having my set of works right around my neck. That way even I can't lose the thing. :p

When I find it, I'll let y'all know where it was, and how many feet and inches away it was. If it's under five feet, I'll be really .......

Not being able to buy everything I want/need from the same vendor and having to fill out multiple shipping and credit card forms...I know, I know it's pretty whiney, but you asked...

Seriously though, I absolutely love vaping, there really couldn't have been a better alternative for me to stopping smoking, I tried and tried....and I'll jump through every dang hoop there is in order to stop going back to the the stinkies!

Also my offer to the lingo is instead of a Personal Vaporizer ( as sexual as that sounds) how about Misting Evaporator....It makes a PG/VG "mist" and then it evaporates...I'm a mister ;)and I'm misting ;)...sound a lot more harmless then e-cig

As long as you know that you're a Mister and not a Mrs., I think you're all set. LOL!

And I hear ya about not being readily able to get everything you "need" from one place, and I'm about to do something about that in a big way. All according to the rules, of course.

That has got to be one of the worst things about a quality pv.

I'm not sure which of the many vaping pitfalls you're referring to (?).

***

And I found what I had "lost". As so often happens, I was looking for the wrong thing. I had separated a drained battery from my DCT, and was looking for an assembled battery/DCT. I finally noticed the separated DCT sitting right in front of me, screwed on a freshly-charged battery, and am now happily vaping again.

I never could find anyone who could/would bring me over a pack of butts, and am now very happy that I was unable to secure any, since that would have meant smoking one or more. The vaping of the schwagggg "NPort" has satisfied my quite nicely, even though it sucks really bad, and tastes just awful, in its endearingly hideous fashion. Life is good when you're satisfied with whatever it is you happen to have at the moment.

Pet Peeve: that "vaping" is flagged as a misspelling. (??) Seriously, what's uppp wit dat?

Paper towels. I'm using way more of them now. I'm thinking of maybe getting some cheap microfiber towels from a car parts place that I can use instead.

I keep a bandanna folded on my desk for that reason no, or very little lint and it cuts down on paper towel usage!

1. High prices for e-liquids where I'm from.

2. E-liquid sometimes sucked up into mouth when vaping.

3. Occasionaly get tired of all flavours, even the good ones.

4. Some people overly out-of-character excited about some vaping angle like winning contestants on a daytime gameshow. Glee hysteria. (goes for anything else too, not just vaping.)

I have a good rig, so no other complaints.

I find the term "analog" annoying. Vaporizers are no more digital than cigarettes are. "Stinkies" is good, though.
Seconded. Completely inappropriate lingo. I never use it. "Yes, I used to drink instant coffee, now I make filtered analog coffee." Duh ...

Also my offer to the lingo is instead of a Personal Vaporizer
Yes, just like my "Personal Marboroughs", "Private cartomizer", "Classified battery pack" or "Priviledged e-liquid".
Marketing cultish.

'Can I have a drag?'

'No, it's personal!'

lol ...

Not a Ben-Wa or Clone-a-Willy.
