What exactly is an Advanced Vaper?

Does anyone really go around calling themselves "advanced vapers," or is this just a rant about how the vendor pages all have warnings that lithium batteries, mechanical mods, and rebuildable atomizers are for "advanced users only"? All that is is a heads-up that there are dangers associated with these devices and you need to take it upon yourself to become educated in their proper use before jumping in at the deep end, so you don't end up as a statistic on the evening news. It's not about elitism at all, it's about keeping people safe and, really, it's about the vendors keeping their own behinds covered so they can't be sued by some idjit who says "well you never told me that microwaving the battery could be hazardous!"
An advanced vaper is someone who understands the gear they are using, as well as the dangers and risks associated with it.
Some people feel insulted, and think they are advanced vapers, use gear improperly and end up injured and on the news.

And I'm insulted that someone could be insulted because I'm not uninformed, stupid or dangerous.
I think.
Maybe I'm not advanced enough to be sure of that as my previous experiment suggests.

Lucky guy.
Rumor has it just the opposite is the norm.
I won't say that rumor is or isn't based on any one particular individuals experiences.

Yes,, we were all n0ob once upon a time..An advanced vaper (to me) is someone who builds their own coils, possibly uses unregulated devices, mech mods, etc. It takes a certain level of knowledge to use these devices safely. I wouldn't have been able to do this when I began.
If you prefer to describe these individuals as "experienced", so be it.
What advanced is not:-
It's not about using Claptons/ Alien coils/ other fancy builds.
It doesn't mean someone who vapes at high wattages/ low ohms. (Ever heard of a kayfun?)
It doesn't mean they own all the latest gear.
Nor does it give them the "right" to look down on others - we were all beginners once upon a time.
An advanced vaper understands the safety, or lack thereof, of the situation. Much to understand going into a situation.
Lol. How about experienced user instead? I say it, but I'm referring to someone who uses an advanced device.
Well I'm a self proclaimed "advanced tootlepuffer", eventually I'll figure out just what that means....
Sad thing is most advanced gear like mechanical mods are primitive electonics. Old school fashlight tech.
Basic battery safety for mechanical mods requires about 15 minutes of research.
If you cant look at a mech and understand how it works, you arent ready to use one.

..............maybe............I do more with less out of necessity.
At 62, I still attempt to learn something new every day. It may or may not improve my life, but I am always hopeful.
If one must know it all, I will never be Advanced.
If one must be willing to become enlightened, I may stand a chance.
A person who, on considering a new purchase, understands that the label "advanced vapers only" is a prompt to do a little research before vaping that baby, if they are not already familiar with that type of device.
N.B.: Please do not vape actual babies.

reminded me of a little rhyme:
Here lies the body of John Grey,
who died defending his right of way,
yes he was right!, but not for long,
for now he's just as dead as wrong!
Advanced vaper in a society where everybody gets a trophy, pretty special title if you ask me
Advanced from what?
