well my only issue right now is living in the middle of nowhere and the closest vape shop is 200 miles away. either I go visit it (which I have many time) or I order on line (with them I can order over the phone) so I am usually stuck waiting on Vape mail. I hate it when its a great flavor and I vape it all to fast. wish there was a Auto reorder for the stuff you like :mail:

The complexity of it. Not that it's all that hard to fill a tank, change a coil, etc. It's just the with cigarettes the most complex part was packing them when you bought a pack.
That being said the best part is not smelling like a skunk's backside and not coughing my lungs up. Wouldn't go back for the world but sometimes I miss the simplicity.

Love almost everything about vaping but the single thing i dislike is that I'm seemingly unable to really enjoy any e-liquid....

I was vaping the Johnson Creek Genuine No. 22 exclusively for the first 6 months i was vaping, I've tried about 2 dozen different flavors and the only other one i really enjoy was a Fireball flavor from White Horse Vapor in Providence RI.... been vaping that for a month or so and im starting to get sick of it....i feel like my taste in Eliquid is so limited, i know there must be flavors out there I'll like but I'm getting pretty bored with the two flavors i really love, i refuse to vape on a flavor i don't absolutely love

Not sure what to do, can't get a good idea of the flavor from those crappy little testers they have at the vape shops, always burnt tasting.... can i bring my Tugboat And some cotton and just try dripping to test flavors??

Yep, same here. It's so difficult to find flavors I like. The sweet flavors make me gag for some reason. Right now I'm enjoying USA Menthol by MBV, but realistically how long can I stay with one flavor without going taste blind to it? I refill my Nautilus Mini about 3, maybe 4 times; so 6-8mls. I do vape a lot and I think as time goes on with this flavor it will just increase my need to vape.
 
Back when I was using protanks I hated a lot of things about it... leaking, burnt/dry hits, buying coils, cost of juice etc. Now I use my dripper almost exclusively (Mako War) and an atlantis occasionally for the convenience factor so these annoyances are pretty miniscule. And I DIY a lot of my juice now which is almost free and only takes a few minutes to whip up a batch. Nowadays, I'd say the only things that really get me are ignorant people and vaping being lumped in with smoking, policy/regulation wise.

I was at a friends house the other week (more like a friend of a friend, he's a cool guy but I don't hang out with him much). Anyway I pulled out my PV and took a puff, and he said he didn't like people vaping in his house. Totally fine, his house his rules, but then he went on to say he can't stand the smell of it, that they smell worse to him than cigs and that they're actually worse for you than cigs. First off, I was vaping menthol so I doubt he even smelled anything. No idea where that came from, maybe he smelled some weird flavor in the past he didn't like and assumed they all smelled the same. Second, I don't need to explain to you guys why the other thing he said was stupid/misinformed/whatever, he probably read some bogus article about formaldehyde. So I did the polite thing and let it slide. IDK, maybe I should have tried to educate him but I didn't want to get into an argument over it.

As for the policy thing, the community college I attend recently updated their smoking policy to a campus wide ban that includes vaping (used to be you could smoke in the parking lots). So now I have to go all the way down to the main street with all the traffic noise and exhaust fumes and a good 10 minute walk back to class. All for the sake of "student safety". I don't have any problem with people smoking in the parking lots, in fact when I was smoking it helped a lot to be able to smoke a cig inbetween classes or in the 10 minute break during longer classes. IMO this policy only serves to make life harder for students who smoke. But to say that you can't vape anywhere on campus either, that's just ridiculous. I doubt the policy makers know anything about tobacco addiction, because they say that if you must smoke you should take their smoking cessation course instead. What a joke!

Sorry for the rant, this smoking ban has been really bothering me since it began this semester, especially since I finally quit analogs 2 weeks before the semester started.

I hate waiting for a battery to charge, which is why I just ordered another one. Problem solved. I hated the fact that I bought a bunch of BS when I first started, but I am now more educated on what I am buying. Again, problem solved. I guess there really isn't anything else I don't like about it right now, besides waiting for vapemail :p

    Don't like it when I visit a mom and pops small local vape shop only to walk in on a dense vape fog so thick you can't see across the room. Then also to have the teens standing around having an impromptu cloud chasing competition. I'm not against chasing clouds if that is your thing but I thnk that if the shop keepers want to attract vapers of all levels and ages that they would try to operate their business in a more professional and considerate manner. BUT, when the shop keepers themselves are blowing massive clouds along with the customers, well what can you say about it. Makes me want to forget about the local economy and buy most of my supplies online. :2c:
     
    I hate the fiddling, complexity of it. Smoking, all you had to worry about was buying a fresh pack and making sure your lighter had fluid. Vaping, I've got to fiddle with coils, fiddle with tanks, and carry stuff around every day that I wouldn't be carrying around otherwise. I can't just leave the house on a whim with my keys, wallet, phone and smokes, I have to make sure I have my extra juice and an extra battery etc. I have to sit down and fill tanks/bottles depending on what setup I'm carrying, I have to factor in what I'm doing that day to decide what I need to vape on, and I could still end up at the mercy of equipment failure while I'm too busy to do anything about it. (Happened the other day, dropped my setup off the work bench and destroyed my one working tank, had to go without for four hours till I was at a stopping point in my work to deal with it.)

    Stupid batteries. Charging them, storing them, carrying them, making sure I have enough of them.

    Other than the fiddle factor and the batteries, though, I really enjoy vaping more than I ever enjoyed smoking.

    Vape residue on the windows of my truck... Gotta wash windows more often now that I use KF3.1 and KF4's, could only imagine what it would be like if I used some of the cloud producing RDA's out there.

    All of the unused and quickly obsolete equipment I have. Got a boxful of EGO and EGO twist's as well as a bunch of CE4's I'll never consider using again since I got onto the VW mods and Kayfun's.

    Buying mods even though I technically have fully functional gear that works great. (My progression so far, ego/carto>egotwist/tank>ego/nautilus mini>VTR/nautilus mini>VTR/Kayfun3.1>Vamo v5/Kayfun4 (cause it won't fit on the VTR, vamo was only supposed to be a backup)>IPV mini/Kayfun4)

    What a ride...

    Oh, and trying to get Mrs Swede to use a good mod that will convince her to quit dual-using analogues and ego variants.
