I just read this whole thread.
It's about lettuce (and tacos) right?

Get real tacos, with real lettuce 'n stuff. Don't buy the clones. The quality is worth it.
I even hooked an oscilloscope up to one to see if it was at the specified temp...and the quality ones maintained the proper temp. And spiciness. The other ones...meh.

Close. It was really about why the counter people at Taco Bell don't listen when you give them your order. When you have to repeat it three times you expect the right stuff in the bag.

I never understood people's infatuation with their post count. Who CARES how many times they post?

Hell, my internet post count must be in the zillions by now....lol

Tell me about it. You wouldn't believe the hits I got when I googled your name!

best regards, larry mac

p.s., Hampton Inns are the bomb!

I Googled mine and got 87,900 hits. Most of them weren't me, though. :)

I just stayed at an Embassy Suites. I loved it and felt much more intelligent when I left. The smart part wore off shortly after I got onto I-75 and neared downtown Atlanta.

I suspect that there's a lot of stealth marketing that goes on here. There's no way to tell shills from fanboys.
The e-cig industry has an interest in pushing disposable products like battery mods and cartos.
I see this sometimes:
burnt taste, flooding, leaking? You should be using prodict X instead.
burnt taste, flooding, leaking with product X? You're doing something wrong.

Post count is pretty useless most of the time, but it's interesting to see a newbie with 17 posts who wants to know why his battery dies after 45 minutes with his .3 ohm atty.

I cringed. It's a true story, BTW, and the .3 isn't a typo.

Ooh, ooh I want to play!
How about the threads that go:
"Is this battery safe? (Insert xxxxfire battery photo) I have been running dual coils at .4 ohms blowing huge clouds but my mod gets SUPER hot. Is that normal?"

Or the killer clone combo thread where the noobs don't want to hear anything from the vets about why they spend so much money on gear because it is "just a tube with a switch".

Love it.

I've been the OP that's posted very full detail of whatever issue I may have been having, only to have someone ask a question that I clearly typed out the answer to. Did it piss me off? No. Someone else came along that read the post, answered the post, post ended. Something like this one goes on....... and it becomes simple fun, not disrespect.

By the way, if I read all these replies correctly, they're now making lettuce flavored juice. Trippy.

I remember the super hot thread! He got more advice than he cared to accept ...

On the second one, never tell them to just go and buy a Provari. They howl and complain until you tell them you've vaped yours for a year and a half and still have 6 months to go on the original stateside warranty (I bought the extra year extension). Then, you tell them you've dropped it more times than you can count, many times on concrete and it's never failed to work when you pick it up.

Really? Hmmm ...

Yep, if you buy it on sale it's about the price of two Vamos. They tend to get inquisitive at that point, but there are still those who don't get it. They say they can't afford it. Then, you tell them that a pack a day tobacco habit pays for one in a month. They have the cash if they smoked.

It's kind of depressing how so many people have easily dismissed what the OP was saying. Good luck with that when you start a thread and wait to hear what people have to say only to discover they had no interest at all in what you had to say but want 'you' to be interested in them instead.

Stupidly flippant.


Soooooo what you're saying is..... Waffles over tacos?
I like how this guy thinks.....

To be honest, people seeking advice should expect advice. Maybe the person recommending a Provari has owned several $100 mods and is thinking they will save the original poster some grief my recommending a quality device? I don't think that makes them dumb, illiterate or trolls. Just a person looking out for another person. There are a million ways you can spin it, but in the end.....

Bacon takes the crown.

I'm sorry, but I couldn't hear him. It's too loud in here. People posting too many judgmental posts 'n stuff.

Yes waffles. Yeah!

sorry if this is a rant, but i just don't get it??
why do so many people on this forum seem to disregard what the OP has said??

for examples:
1) someone will say something like "i know i want to get an svd or a vamo, but can't decide between the 2. what do you think is better of the 2?" then someone says "get and mvp." :blink: it's like, why did you even post that? it doesn't help at all?

2) someone says "i'm looking for the best mod under $100. i really can't afford more, so what should i get? then someone says "just buy a provari." :blink: can this person even read??

3) (i saw this earlier today) someone said that they wanted to get something from myvaporstore. they asked "out of the selection they have, what mod would you recommend?" then people started telling him to get certain mods that myvaporstore doesn't even sell. :blink:

*shrug* i dunno....i just find it so silly.
i guess people either can't read, are dumb, trolling, or posting for no reason whatsoever (just to get their post count up i guess)

i only bring this up, because it seems to happen more here, than just about any other forum i have been on. seem like an epidemic on ecf for some reason.

They have already decided on what they will get, and they start a thread fishing for someone to validate their decision. All who do not are ignored. That's why they are not listening.

To address the OP's question, has anyone heard of a bacon flavored juice?

There was a hilarious thread a couple of years ago about bacon flavored juice. Later, there was one about crab flavored juice. I laughed until my sides hurt.

Right now, there's a thread with Maple Bacon Cheesecake in the title.
