Considering 90% of these words are from China manufactures, I think sometimes we are subconsciously thinking of that when we see a word spelled a bit different so we're not 100% certain of the words pronunciation.
All your vapes are belong to us?

I guess I never saw where the difficulty was in 'smok' being pronounced 'smoke'. The correlation between actual smoking vs the electronic substitute. Obviously people don't want vaping to be lumped together with smoking in terms of health risks etc but to suggest vaping has nothing to do with smoking and yet vaping is still considered to be a healthier smoking cessation method is just counterproductive. The whole point was for vaping to mimic smoking or it would be pointless.

I hear a lot of people say 'smock'. Do they pronounce 'absolut vodka' as 'ab-so-lutt' with the same 'u' as 'duh'? No, it's a long U despite the lack of an E at the end. Or Brut cologne/aftershave as 'brutt' when it's again a long U as in 'brute'. Maybe I'm the exception rather than the rule, idk. If they had a food substitute or diet food called 'fud' I'd expect it be a play on 'food', not 'fudd' like Fuddruckers or of the Elmer variety. Yet the same folks have no issue pronouncing 'fubu' as 'fooboo', not 'fuh-buh'. :p

Cracks me up sometimes seeing people trying to pronounce things and all the confusion on a lot of it. I expect if there were a mod or atty called an 'align' all the sudden it would be as if speech were a new concept. "The new innokin - allen? aliggun? Yea pretty sure it's aliggun".

Not totally sure about Cleito, some say clay-toe others clee-toe. Not suh-lee-toe or clee-ay-toe though. She was Poseidon's mortal wife in Atlantis from Greek mythology.

Hang on ... you're using logic on the English language? Seriously :facepalm:

:D

I have an Asolo mini. Got it on clearance about a year ago for $20. Is fine in Wattage mode.
Tried the taste control thing. Just a fiddly load of crap and from the vids from the official Hohm mods site theirs are no better.

Why are you being such a fucking asshole. People have different preferences. How does buying smok mods make you dumb. Your making yourself look dumb with that statement if anything! Crawl back to your hole and stop trolling

Ahh but Smok is very popular because it is what most vape shops seem to push.
Because they can have a larger markup on it that most other brands?

A lot of younger adults seem to just lose their shopping appetite in a vape shop if Smok is not part of the menu somehow. The markup means nothing compared to how much time and effort is often being wasted on trying to solve issues and or trying to explain why some issues can't be solved, be it because it is Smok or because it is user error, or the combination of both.

Yep see lots of them online complaining that their coils only last 2 days and such.
And the stick Smok things seem to be failing fast too.

Now I’m confused. Is his name pronounced randal-pies, randal- piss or douchebag?
