Been vaping for 2 years and reading these forums. Got no real questions, don't like typing, never had an interest in being a forum member but I had to sign up to see pics and to comment rarely on other peoples posts (1st time I wanted to in 2 years). So here I am ready to comment on something and I can't because I may be a spammer.:( In 10 more years I may get 5 posts in unless I make more posts like this one that just go in a quiet lil circle. Can I do that or will I make someone mad?

Hi blaqmail, I know the 5 post thing is a bit of a pain, but as you yourself recognized, it's a necessary way the forum admin can manage the large amounts of spam that gets posted.

All you have to do is welcome a few new members and you'll be well on your way.

I'll start, what equipment are you using? Answers to your own thread count too - just don't post for spam count. Moderators will get the hump if you do that...

I used to run a forum myself and implemented a similar posting forum policy for new members. it's a pain for those genuine users who have the right intentions but we have to live with policy's like this, it help filter out the spammers and those who join forums just to troll. Any policy that helps towards building a healthy forum community is a good thing :)

Thats funny it logged me out while I was writting this reply.

I think I have maybe posted 5 times on forums sense the internet was invented and I think the 1st was way back in the 80s.
I have a early model 1x provari, 1x evic, 1x vamo (v2 I think), and 1x Nemesis (clone). I still use the provari and the nemesis but the other 2 dead not long after getting them.
Toppers I have 1x kayfun (clone), 2x 91% (clone) and 1x helio (clone). I like the Russian 91 over the kayfun but that could just be because the fill screw broke off in it.
I like clones better because $300 for a stainless tube is ridiculous (nemesis) and when they break its cheaper. That being said if my provari ever breaks I will have no problem buying another because it is worth it. I hope there next model is 30 watt device.

It really does help. I recently joined a different forum, not e-cig related, and as soon as I had posted my first post I got my first reply...from a spammer. ! Fortunately tht moderator took it down very quickly but still, what a PITA. I feel safe here. I actually had to use a different email than my actual email because I joined this forum years ago and never posted and apparently there is some kind of block on my other email address! :blink: I worked it out, though, and I am glad I did. You are already almost halfway to your 5 posts, so just tell me to pipe down and you will get another one!

"Clouds are like dreams floating across a sky-blue mind." - Laura Lee : The Outlaw Josey Wales
Is that really from the movie?
Yep, Clint and her are looking at the sky after he gets to the place near blood butte, and she says that to him.

LAURA LEE: You see 'em?

JOSEY: What?

LAURA LEE: The clouds (points to the sky) over there. Clouds are like dreams floating across a sky-blue mind.

JOSEY: Funny, I never thought of them that way.
