The write up for here is quite fair I think, I like it here a lot.
I use planet of the vapes as much as I do here, but don't see myself it being too smart or intimidating to newcomers- people are always welcomed warmly like here and given help.
I do remember a thread though where there was some banter with a new vaper who was taking 0.5 second hits at 350W, and didn't want to reduce the power they was using. Eventually they did, and settled around 150W and could actually take a full hit and enjoy the flavour.
It could be things similar to this, and our kind of humour comes across a bit differently. I did have to explain to the person people were only joking with some of their responses, maybe this is what came across as intimidating?
I do have an account with a forum I think we cannot mention here, which was the first on the list. I don't use that place though as I don't really like the feel over there.
Reddit I haven't really looked into, although I think I am on a couple of them over there.
I will stick with here and POTV's for my vaping discussion and friends
