I used to moderately dislike the 510-side-chimney design of mods. I never understood why they did that although they had enough space within the mod to accomodate any and all required parts. Now that centered-510 has become the new standard, I'm almost a happy camper.
However, I loathe the 510-back-chimney design of some mods with a passion, where you have the button and screen on the narrow end of the mod, and the 510 is located at the opposite top side. That's even more unforgiveable than the transgression mentioned above.
This drives me mad.

Bulk buying a lousy juice because I liked the sound of it, caveat emptor folks and the same for coils that are incompatible for my tanks when it's clearly stated that they fit, hello rba!
I'm pretty happy hardware wise. What peeves me is batteries measured in milliamp hours instead of milliamp decades. I bet vaping batteries will be great in 2218
I can mostly think of one right now.
Having to refill my squonk bottle while outside in the winter, with gloves ofc.
That's the biggest pain i've experienced last winter, but man did my co worker laugh his socks off

Amateur. I did it with an empty RTA coil I was cleaning.
sort of gives a new and painful meaning to the term "hot lips".
That type happens to be my favorite hence my love for c frame Therions.
Burnt holes in shirts…LOL! I set my pants on fire!
This is a true cigarette story, ladies of a tender disposition really should skip this post.
When I was a young lad in the 70's, I used to enjoy nothing more at parties than sitting cross legged on the floor chatting to members of the opposite sex. Naturally, much tobacco and alcohol was consumed. At one party, I was having a great conversation with this girl and I was cursed with the peril all filter tip smokers eventually encounter - the tip adhering to the bottom lip. In this instance the adhesive properties were so potent I dragged my fingers down the remaining half inch or so of the cigarette, and when they reached the burning embers, ripped the stub from my lips.
At exactly the same moment in time the young lady was just in the process of inhaling. The glowing projectile left my burnt fingers and performed the most delicate parabola over a distance of a few inches and landed, filter side down, between the ample cleavage of my companion, to be wedged in a perfectly upright position. To this day, I can still picture this lonely Marlboro Red rising and falling with every breath, a perverse glowing testament to the low-cut fashion of the age. The aforementioned companion then turned a very strange shade of green, and after uttering my profuse apologies, I calmly retrieved the errant missile between forefinger and thumb of my unburnt hand.
Totally ruined the conversation.
Back on topic, pet peeves:
- Poor quality design/engineering. Mods and tanks aren't cheap, so why can't manufacturers go the extra mile and perform some rudimentary quality control? I have a selection of vaping gear that is in dire need of some extra fine sandpaper to get rid of the sharp edges I've cut myself on. The batteries in one mod are wedged in with a wad of insulating tape as the back rattles every time I press the fire button (which the paint started to wear off in less than a months use).
- Complexity and consistency. I know changing coil configurations, tanks and wattages will give very different results, but even using a stock coil (Cleito 120) I would get a different vape experience just over an evening. Something as simple as refilling the tank can change the flavour.
- Lack of support from commercial vaping shops in helping smokers get off the habit. Admittedly, I've only been to a few shops, but if they had a fraction of the knowledge and wisdom here at ECF I'd have become a committed vaper much sooner.
The issue there is that a half gram dose at 1000mg/ml compared to a half gram dose at 3mg/ml vape juice strength is like comparing a car wreck at 1000mph vs 10 mph. Without the strength parameter inclusion in the equation what they use for their example is exaggerated.
Most non-vaping folks wouldn't have a frame of reference to judge what they were talking about. The takeaway would be that "half a gram of that stuff they smoke will kill you if you swallow it". Well, it's not smoke and most vapers reduce the concentration quickly over time. The truth never gets told when people reach ANTZ status.
We'll never win.
I just tell people that I've avoided smoking about 124,100 cigarettes since i started vaping. That's 40 x 365 x 8.5 years!
What bugs me are reveiws that claim some new item is awesome and brilliantly made, then you get one and its a piece of pooly made junk. Only to find out that your not the only one in that boat. Basically reviewers that say everythings awesome to keep the freebie, ka$ching train rolling along for themselves.
Pet peeve: Joytech. I finally opened a mod I bought from them and it's like the tanks. I'm pretty sure I will break it in a week. And, it is MY pet peeve, joytech fans, I get it some of you can handle flimsy things, etc.

- Online vape shops that don't offer an option to filter out not-in-stock stuff. On big stores, it's a PITA.
- Online vape shops that list discontinued stuff. At all. What is that for? It's like a borked wayback machine. (Looking at you, FT).
So most online vape shops, I guess.

+ it's equally annoying cousin, not carrying a big enough range of flavourings so you have to pay £4 carriage on that critical £1.75 bottle of flavouring you can only get at XYZ supplier.
Vape shops that ignore you if your mod doesn't have enough power to weld a bumper onto a truck, or you don't blow clouds big enough to make a space shuttle launch look small.
Usually it's the same shops selling a beginner who wants to quit cigarettes The Cloudomatic 4000 and a quad coil triple core 18 gauge Clapton chinesium topper setup along with a 200 ml bottle of rare juice that has the bark of the eaeachewanna tree aged in a cave under the full moon and tastes just like a Marlboro red, when they need a 10 watt MTL setup and a bottle of decent juice.

Anything that leaks, or anything that is fiddly or fussy about wicking in order to NOT leak. I never buy or use RTAs any more and stick mainly to squonking, and sometimes (but rarely) RDTAs and sub-ohm tanks.
My biggest pet peeve is leaky tanks, I want no leaks. As for mods I haven't got one that I didn't like, but it takes doing a lot of research before buying.
My absolute pet peeve is the well meaning but misinformed who come up to me and offer their cautions about the harm. The last time this happened I replied that if I was killing myself with a cigarette that they would have walked past saying nothing.

Anna,
How much longer is your job going to last? You don’t post nearly as much as you used to WTH
My biggest pet peeve is that we use variable wattage, and that we use wattage at all. I much prefer variable voltage, and it's much more intuitive. It's way easier to dial in your vape with voltage. Other peeves include atomizers that are hard to adjust the airflow on when they're on a mod; rda's where you have to line the top cap up just right to get it in place; 30/70 pg/vg and thicker becoming the norm; melting the bottom of my delrin driptips because it's too close to the coil (user error, no doubt, but really? can't use a regular depth delrin drip tip on some of these little atties); not being able to find a replacement tank for my Aqua 2 rta; seeing many fine mod makers go out of business is not really a peeve, but it's very sad. ok whining time is over.
