You know what makes me give a Big Ole Eye Roll?

Bitter people that do nothing but bitch. You see its easy to bitch and moan about everything. That doesn't take any skill, knowledge , wisdom, or expertise. That's why I can go to Home Depot right now and hire 3 Illegals to rip out my kitchen for practically nothing. Because it doesn't take any skill or knowledge. Tearing things down and demolishing them does not take any skill. Builders get paid more because it takes more skill and knowledge to build something than rip it down. It's the same thing when it comes to people that complain about every little fucking thing . What's even worse is when these bird's of a feather start to flock together. They get their own little private bitch sessions going and they start to believe their own bullshit. They start to believe their opinion is actually significant or that it actually makes a difference. I almost feel bad for them in a way. It's kind of like the kid that thought he was kool all through High School but then he goes to his 25 year reunion and finds out everyone thought he was a dick and all his classmates are leading a better life than him.

I mean this is a vape forum right? I do come here for information about vaping right? As cute as your kid, dog, cat, or ferret might be I do not come here for that. I come here to talk about vaping first and foremost. I just don't understand how posting a link to a vape product in a vape forum is so offensive? Maybe we should create a safe space from vape products in the forum. This way all of the people that are so offended and inconvenienced will have a place to go and bitch , moan and cry, Sort of like a Snowflake Vape Section.

I don't know. I was brought up to be happy for others and their good fortune, especially if they worked hard to get it. I am not the type to be jealous, petty, or screw anybody out of hundreds of dollars of gear and then sing that persons praises like they were a Vape God, but that's just me. In the end these people that do nothing but complain are kind of like the Dead Sea. The Dead Sea is the saltiest body of water in the world. It's so salty that nothing actually grows there or lives in it because it can not. It's just too bitter and salty. It's too salty because all the Dead Sea does is take. There are no outlets to it just inlets. Life is kind of the same way for takers. If all you do is take, take, take, and never have an outlet, you eventually become bitter and salty.

You talk too much bro
Create ur own thread put all ur shit there...

As a matter of fact I do get free shit all the time. Business cards? I don't have any VU business cards. If I did I sure as hell would use them.

I don't deny that I get free stuff. I openly admit it in every review I do.

Hence, you do the reviews for the free shit. The reason you even bother with this thread, because you don't want the freebies to stop.

Aw, come on man there's a reason why people like Todd, and Scott, and Pete have so many viewers they are good at what they do they are articulate experinced and knowledgable and they know what is and isn't relevant....who wants to watch some middle aged overwieght dude in a skin tight black t-shirt and a ball cap ramble on for half an hour grunting incoherently in his garage or worse some guy just blowing one cloud after the other......it gets old.

I never spoke in specifics just generalities. Birds of a feather do flock together. You see this is what happens when someone does not want to address the issue. They go off on tangents and try to change the subject. The Bitch and Moan Crew knows exactly who they are.

FWIW: Deuce is right. Most vape manufactures (the popular ones) and retailers aren't sending out review samples like they used to. Many require that you have X amount of reviews under your belt with X amount of subscribers at this juncture.

The market is saturated now. Like I said before, time to find the next "big thing" and hop on that wagon instead. There isn't much money to be made in vape like in the good old days. You may as well just sell widgets. Same difference in terms of profit margin.
you're right...a helluva alot of high end modders are shutting down...and with most people chasing chinese junk these days..

I expect all US modders to shut down.

The FDA hates vaping, they want you to PROVE that your mod is so safe that the stupidest guy in the neighborhood can vape it without blowing his face off.

Then you somehow have to prove that only smokers will want to buy your mod and teenybopper "I want cloudz bruh" won't (which is impossible to prove.)

Also people in the US can be sued out of existence if some assholes leg and nutsack gets blown off after he happens to stick your mod in his pocket along with 2 extra batteries, his keys, and change from lunch without locking the fire button.

I just don't see the point of the thread. I don't agree with either 1 or 2.

What is the point? Are you trying to get something banned because it's offending you in some way? Is someone invading your "safe place"? Is it personal? Can you not turn off Auto-play? Is it too hard to scroll past a post?

I don't get it. I had to vote 3, since it just sounds like whining to me.


Also, to imply that one is right, because one is in the majority, is wrong. This becomes readily apparent when you are in the minority, but are right.

The point was to ask if others felt the same - no one said or suggested shit about your other questions so don't know where you got that impression


I voted no so I guess I'm part of the bitch crew.
Makes me happy to finally be part of a crew! When are the meetings and do I get a shirt or something?

That's what I was wondering - but, I've been called worse, lol

I asked the questions for clarity. You chose to ignore them, so now I have more:

Why do you need to know other's opinions? Do you seek validation? What's the purpose of rallying people to your cause, if not calling them to some action?

Asking a question isn't a point, in and of itself.

Just starting a conversation about something that annoys me and wanted to know if anyone else finds it obnoxious, no more, no less. If you call that being an attention whore, feel free.

No one is calling for bans or rules, but was hoping some folks would think before they repost their reviews ad naseum

If you enjoy spam in the threads, there is plenty of it :giggle:

They don't want clarity. Clarity, common sense, and decency are foreign to that group. All they care about is their little clique. No one else matters to them. They rarely help anyone outside of their little clique. They're just not happy unless they are Bitching and Moaning about something. Hence the name, the BAM Crew. Most members that are here for information and to talk about vaping normally just ignore them. Every once in a while you'll see them come out of the political threads to gang up on someone but for the most part they keep to themselves. It's really kind of sad on multiple levels.

I wasn't calling you an attention whore. And thanks for clarifying. At least you made a thread, instead of spamming about what you consider spam, in someone else's thread, as others have done. Usually when one rallies support, it's for a cause. But not always, it seems. Which makes it rather pointless, IMO. But we all gotta vent sometimes, so vent on.

Personally, I don't mind the review links in vaping threads. I don't always see every review thread, and I'm glad when one just falls into my lap while perusing related posts. If I post about a problem with Tank A, and someone posts a link to their review of Tank B, it's still information, whether immediately helpful, or not. Now if I'm posting about the cute thing my parakeet did today, and a review gets dropped, then yeah, that's irrelevant and annoying. Same thing if I'm talking batteries, and cat pics start popping up. But I can ignore cats just as well as I can ignore reviews, lol.

People that post review links are annoying period
99% of the time it is just a link and no text, not everyone has a ton of free time on their hands to just watch random 5-20 minute videos

Put in a few words, 'I had a good/crappy experience with this item, watch this video for the reasons why'

I originally came to VU to gain info about vaping.
If the review that is posted is relevant I usually check it out.
I don't need other's opinions however there are some that I respect.
In the case of video reviews sometimes you can gain info about an item you may not have that could help you decide if you want it just because of what you see in the vid.
If I don't have time to read or watch the review I've found that with the years I've been using the internet I have learned how to keep scrolling or ignore the parts I'm not interested in.
Some people post the link to their review because they think it may be helpful or interesting.
Some post just because they want to.
If someone were to post simply to annoy others, that is their right in a free open forum.
That is one of the amazingly awesome things I enjoy about this forum, if I see something I don't care for, I can move on to the next thread.
No one forces me to read, watch, listen to, or be involved in anything.
Just like this post, if someone doesn't like it, they are free to keep scrolling.
Hell, everyone is also free to post as many replies to it as they want saying whatever they want about it.
When I am having a bad day, I try to stay away form things that piss me off because I may say something a bit more rude than normal.
However there are times I forget to stay away.
We all have our own way to deal with life.

I can say that the way I read the three options certainly made me feel the choices were weighted towards one side.
But that is part of the free shit we get from the greatest free vape forum on the planet.

@ JuicyLucy

In the interest of fairness can you add a selection to the poll?

Something along the lines of "They don't bother me I read some and scroll past others"

Might be good to see what happens with another choice.

That's what the "shut up Lucy" choice is, lol

o_O Am I the only one that is annoyed by the habit of a few newer reviewers repeatedly reposting their reviews in other people's threads???

Examples:

Perusing the hand check thread: Here's my review of the latest greatest!!!! No hand check in sight even. Just trying to get traffic to their own thread.

Happens all the time in help threads - Poster: My atomizer won't smoke: Reviewer: Here is my review of that atomizer!!!

Just now, read a thread started to talk about a future review of a couple of atomizers. Another reviewer bombs the thread with his review :facepalm:

Most are :tldr: anyway

P.S. Build your review thread and they will come - or not. Stop ruining other people's threads reviewer-peeps - very annoying, and it's not just the serial-video reviewer I won't name

Rant over

Good rant Lucy .. and I hope you feel better now :)

Na, it doesn't bother me. If I want to check out the review I click on the link, if I don't I scroll past. Sometimes I'm glad I clicked, sometimes I'm not, but inevitably I learn something even if it's just that a reviewer isn't worth the time for me.

There's also a lot more other kinds of fluff around and that doesn't bother me either. Life's too short to stress over the little things

Odd how you cheer freedom when it fits YOUR agenda, but when Lucy posts a rant and a question that is open for the forum, everyone is whining.

Quite frankly maybe you and your band of butt buddies should earn the moniker of the reach around crew. Because it seems you are always giving each other a reach around like you are in a bro-mance.

P.S. I also find it funny how you say people in this thread don't help people, they just bitch and attack other people. You know that is a flat out lie. I've been here twice as long as you, and I help people all the time, as well as most of the senior members of this thread. I think your delicate little feelers are hurt because people are tired of your reach around pal who doesn't know how to wear a hat in 2017.

Just be happy Joe and Tiger run this place, because if it was up to me you would lose your stripes for acting like a total dickweed to senior members that have helped build this place, and your spam brother would be relegated to the reviews section only. Folks thought it was funny when SharkVape was locked in the mudpit. I'd think it was hilarious if spamsalot was locked into the reviews section only. You complain about what others do, while doing the exact same thing. Quite the hypocrite.
