What Are Your Vaping Pet Peeves

[Punk In Drublic]

@UpNorth - This is actually quite common with an imported supply chain. The manufacture will only make a said amount in their first batch. Shipping containers needs to be filled by many different imports first prior to shipment. Distributors are limited on how much product they are allowed to purchase for that batch must cater to all distributors. If that batch sells out prior to the next shipment, then we are all waiting and the process repeats itself. Even the tech giants such as Apple can’t avoid this for they do run out of product usually at launch. However, unlike small vape manufactures that may have a single factory for production, Apple’s products are manufactured by cities so it is quicker for them to get the product out. But your peeve is very understandable!

@FΛDED – have you noticed an increase in hand soap and paper towel usage since you started vaping?

My pet peeve is someone puffing away on a cig saying 'you know vaping causes popcorn lung and is very bad for you.' I usually say, " you do know that cigarette smoking is proven to kill people and as far as I know, no one has died from vaping."

First death happened for vape fairly recently. It was a battery explosion, not popcorn lung, but I kind of tend to count it, I assume society does. A kid or two died from drinking eliquid, and one dude suicided that way, I'm not sure whether those count.

I have. I wash my hands more now that I vape than I ever did working in a hospital!!

As a matter of fact, I buy paper towels by the pallets at Costco.

@FΛDED & @Fidola13 – If vape shops were smart they could cash in on this. New mod, RDA, some wire and cotton and 20 rolls of Bounty!

@stols001 – is there any fact to that? The way the body processes nicotine one would have to consume a sh** load of e-juice in an extremely short period of time to kill you. The body would start to reject first, as in throw up. There were myths of suicide by nicotine from consuming cigarettes or steeping them like tea but they were only myths. I guess if you were highly allergic and knew about it one could snuff them selves with nicotine or e-juice.

As for a battery explosion killing someone. I believe that was a fire started by an exploding battery that killed a man and not just an exploding battery that killed him.

The quilted quicker picker upper.. bounty. Wow, I still know that song.

I think vaping has made me a less clumsy man due to my peeve. Every so often I do on occasion get drops of juice here and there but I think it's better than burnt holes in my shirt. Good trade off I'd say.

Burnt holes in shirts…LOL! I set my pants on fire!

Back when you could smoke in bars, I was at the Spring Lounge in NY (awesome bar, anyone who goes there pls let me know if Patricia still works there!) having a pint with a friend. Dropped my cigarette but didn’t see where it landed. A cuff in my pants caught it. Moments later my friend ask if I could smell something burning. It was then I could feel the heat from the flames. Brand new jeans and 1 poor sock charred and a half pint of beer to douse them!

Remember when all your car seats or car seat covers had little burns in them from dropped cigs or errant bits of ash?
My work vehicle now has a juice stain on the passengers seat from where a Naut2 dumped its contents. Its okay though, it blends in with the spilled coffee fine. Speaking of which, a coffee cup holder needs a clean out after a similar incident with a zenith I left the fill hole open on.
Not really pet peeves unless I count my own klutzy'ness as a pet peeve, and I dont, it annoys me but Ive learned to embrace it.

When I read about it a while back, I think there was a citation. The kids I don't know, for sure.

Just like alcohol, where if you drink enough fast enough, you can get to fatal levels before your body starts vomiting up the poison, I imagine the same could be said for nicotine. How difficult it is and how much you would have to drink I have NO idea, and I have no clue of number of failed, "unreported" events but I don't think I would personally choose it as a method as you are correct with any "poisoning" there is certainly the possibility of vomiting and expelling the substance before death, etc. It wouldn't be my go to, I'll say that.

IIRC (there is a thread on it somewhere, the gentleman who was consumed by flames was hit in the head by his exploding battery and was either incapacitated or unconscious so unable to put out the fire (also caused by the battery) so it was a kind of two fold effect, I think.

However, since the battery caused the fire, I say that's a bit like claiming, "It wasn't falling asleep with a lit cigarette that caused the person's death, but the fire it started." Root cause is still battery.

Which actually brings me to my NUMBER ONE pet peeve in vaping counterfeit battery makers and sellers.

Not sure if this counts but I made 5 eliquids - 200ml each, put labels on each bottle, knowing full well that a hot water bath would ruin the labels so I position three with the label horizontally on the top, middle and bottom, one with a vertical label and one without a label. I wrote on a bit of paper separately which is which. I put them in the washing up bowl with some hot water and left them for about an hour. Came in and my Grandmother was doing the washing up - "I scrubbed the labels off for you"

One was primarily mango, another strawberry. The other three were chocolate cake, hazelnut-chocolate and caramel cheesecake. Right now the flavours haven't come through enough to actually differentiate them - they just taste like slightly different creamy things...

5 click devices where all 5 have to take place in a second. (ie really quickly)

Spread them out a little, please? I get to 4 and lose my rhythm more times than not. Sometimes it makes me wonder after 5+ tries "is my device broken?"...

(You listening YiHi?)

Forgetting to put the cap back on an RDA after putting juice on the wick, then jamming the hot coils into my lips. True story and I was not even drunk at the time.

I hate when device manufacturers don’t provide Mac OS versions of their firmware upgrade software. (For some reason I struggled with how to phrase that.)

I’d probably have an RSQ if not for that. Didn’t get a DNA device until Evolv released a beta Mac OS version of its Escribe software (so glad they did).

I wanted a Mac version for my Geekvape Aegis Legend, emailed customer service and they emailed me one. It's now listed as an option for the latest firmware update. That's impressive customer support.

 

[bobwho77]

Simple answer. What prevents me from buying some new vape stuff is my spouse.

And my budget

Amateur. I did it with an empty RTA coil I was cleaning.
