What Support Actually Means

[ohai]

We hear it said... er.. read it typed all the time- we're all human beings behind these screens. Being smokers, ex-smokers, recovering smokers, we are all the more vulnerable because we're struggling. People don't always get along here, and feelings get ruffled, but when you tell your story and you're looking for support, you're pretty likely to see a sincere and freely given "I'm with you all the way, bro" from someone who vehemently disagreed with you about the appropriate atty for a variable voltage mod just five minutes before. That's support.


That's what kind of site we have.


Thanks, ECF mods, and thanks ECF members for not kicking people when they're vulnerable. It's refreshing.

Well said Ohai (yo) . Some very awesome people here. The few negative or mean people, either leave, get bored or get banned. So we are left with all the best and the nicest! Yay!

+10 for your observations!!

the appropriate atty for a variable voltage mod

If we could settle this question, world peace would have to be next....

 

[dgm76513]

Ohai! Couldn't agree with you more. Best forum for support I've come across in all the internet.

 

[HPLFan]

As Vapira said, right on! This has got to be one of the most peaceful boards I've ever been on.

It's really right up there with the question of evil, isn't it? Ah the humanity....

 

[Baptyzmbyf1re]

Awesome. I couldn't agree more in my short time here.

A beautiful place indeed. I'm glad I joined. I don't need support really for quiting smoking I did that back in 2010 with snus but I love coming on here and talking about the newest mods and tanks etc.. a good bunch of folks I tell you what.

People here can have different opinions and even a debate without it turning into a flaming or demeaning war. Vaping is a lot more individual than smoking could ever be, so of course we're gonna have 1,000 different answers for even "who has good juice", but I think in the end we all realize that we're on the same team in general.

I can come and say I'm having a bad vaping day, and not be afraid that I'll get anything but support.

Its late and I cannot seem to muster anything deep, emotional, or heartfelt at the moment so instead......

It's only my DIY that's good...my precious, my precious, it's mine, all mine,....BWHAAAAA!!!....

I agree 100%. Young, old, fat, skinny, tall, short - none of that matters here. We are all joined together here with one thing in common - kicking the habit. We all have different ways of doing that, we all have our favorite equipment, flavors, vendors, etc. We understand each other - can relate to each other...yes - the support here is amazing. The people I have met here are amazing. May we all continue to support each other here so that we all can be success stories!

 

[V_Joe1981]

I too agree that this has to be the best forums out there for such a great hobby

 

[thinkingaboutit]

Nonsense. You all cost me more money.

Kidding. I came to learn how to replace smoking, boy did I! I got support before I even needed it...which is really amazing.

 

[ohai]

It's deep, emotional, and heartfelt because it's true.

And the earnest look on that man's face is breaking my heart in two, bless his heart.

I'm still a noob here and to vaping but I'm not a noob to forums. I've even moderated a few and have to say this is by far the friendliest forum I've had the pleasure of being a member of.

 

[frosting]

One of the rarities here is the fact people can truly disagree but not get their panties in a bunch over it. There's a lot of respect on here to agree to disagree and understand we all may vape... just a bit differently. That kind of maturity for lack of a better way to put it is what keeps ECF the absolute gem that it is. You can share whatever you like to as long as you do so in a respectful manner. Most people abide by that and I think thats why people always keep coming back.

I've not been lurking here for too long, and I couldn't agree more. (I've made a similar point myself, a few times). There are forums dedicated to other 'specialisms', where a difference of opinion is treated by many in the same way that the Spanish Inquisition regarded heresy (not too reasonably, from what I'm told...)

You can FEEL the love in here. (I'm welling up now...)
