Bit of a rant here.

Replying to the initial comment, I see where you're coming from... However... wouldn't that same poster possibly be offended by another person starting a new post with an identical recipe to theirs? I have posted variations of a recipe I have seen within the same thread but in my case it's using different brands/percentages. I wanted to give the viewer options as to what to use as many people don't have a vast arsenal of every brand of flavor. Just trying to give you a different view of what may be happening/the reason behind it.

It was not my intent to start such serious feedback. I only wanted toshare insight to the the other side of this. Being a fairly new DIY'er I have combed through the diy forums for recipies that I would like to try and for recipes that aresimilar with different ingredients from different flavor makers bcause I'm in germany and sometimes cant find what I wantor need and the choices given by different posters helps out. I see everyones viewpoints that have responded so far to huck and following posts and respect them.This place has so great people.

Hey, new mixer here. I've only posted one original recipe so far. I posted it hoping someone would try it and give me some feedback. @Smoky Blue responded right away with some simple suggestions (thanks for that again btw, still haven't had a chance to try it your way, will let you know when I do). After that, another fairly unrelated recipe was posted and the rest of the conversation was about that recipe. I don't really care that someone else posted on my thread, I was just hoping SOMEONE would actually try my recipe and give some feedback. I don't know if the follow up recipe had anything to do with people not trying mine, but it didn't help.

This right here is what I mean. Not directing this at the person you mentioned, but this event is entirely what my point was! I know how you feel @bluraff3. Thanks for sharing your experience.

No problem. I just want to throw one more thing out there: it seems to me that all of the experienced mixers on here are pretty dedicated to helping us newbs out and I am very appreciative of that. I don't think anyone's intention is to do anything to hinder our growth, but you've brought up something that people do without realizing they may be having the opposite effect of their intentions.

You put all this better than I did, lol. I didn't want to start a war.

I went looking for your recipe. Yep, I see what you mean.

See, here in lies the problem. I don't have any problem at all with suggestions and advice, but when someone else posts a recipe in OP's thread without even had time to TRY the OR (original recipe), then that's just bad form. You can't just look at a recipe and say, "oh I know what that tastes like". These flavors that we use can take on entirely different flavors when combined. If you're hell bent on posting your alternate take on the OR, then at least take the time to MAKE the OR, so that you know what the hell you're talking about.

I am new here, and after searching for bluraff3's thread and it looks like Smoky Blue did take recipes down. I see a bunch of posts in bluraff's thread that it looks like she tried your recipe, and tried to helped. Here is your thread, btw.: http://vapingunderground.com/threads/desert-oak-tobacco.32415/
What bugs me is when there is a topic on a recipe and someone else pops in and says here are all my flavors, give me a recipe, totally unrelated to what is being posted. Now that is a rant, not what I see Smoky Blue doing, but Istand was not cool. This has me thinking, if you are picking on someone trying to help, even if it is sharing a simular way of doing things, what will be done if I screw up? I am here for both equipment and recipes, and if someone dumps one or 50 in a thread of mine, I would be very happy. I certainly would not cry foul. If anyone does have those tobaccos recipes, I would appreciate it, I already sent her a conversation? I will think long and hard on what I post before I post so no one will ever have a complaint against me, if I have anything to contribute. Thanks for my 2nd post, will be reading and hope to learn more.

Ill be the dick that requotes this incase you missed it, look up at the quote this is why you dont post your recipe on someone elses thread. posting your recipe on someone else's recipe thread crap. I like everyone else come from a different forum and changed my name so no one here recognizes me. I know most all of you but I'm not saying who I am , hahahaha. I've been watching all this unfold and have stayed mostly in the background but drama follows smoky like ants follow sugar trails. smoky changed and erased a lot of things lately and talked mods into locking threads and stuff. Why the hell would anyone want someone else to post recipes. Bad fuckin manners. I could give 2 shits less about your version of the recipe I posted. I like mine best thats why I posted it. If another recipe is so good it can get a guest appearance on a different recipe it probably needs its own thread anyways so the original post does not get derailed. When new mixers post recipes its for advice or feedback on what THEY have created. There is nothing wrong with a guy asking hey I dont have x flavor would another on work? smoky blue or lady red or any of the other alias are also know for posting false recipes and % to detour "theft" lol whatever. 31 flavors vape LMAO . I pray no one try's that . Ya Im a dick, whatever. When its done on occasion by request I think its fine but the way I have been watching smoky its all pretty rude. no one can say anything around here without smoky blue and crew popping up and telling everyone they are wrong.

Yep, you're a dick. A dick with no balls at that.

You came from ECF and changed your name so no recognizes you. That tells it all right there.

I'm glad you posted though as it confirms what I've suspected for awhile. All the hatred on this forum is coming from ECF.

No, but thanks Time. You are part of smoky and crew. What does it really matter what my name is. Is your name really fucking Time ? I'm sure its not. You are the guy that follows smokys coat heels everywhere Talking shit about things you have no knowledge of. When you actually have a dog in the fight or can base an opinion on first hand experience I will acknowledge you.

Part of Smoky and crew? LOL.

I'm not sure how DIY juice became a team sport but I'm a free agent. I wasn't drafted and haven't signed any team contract.

I have no knowledge of the ECF bullshit because I came to VU to avoid it. I'm a noob and as a noob I'll tell you bringing ECF here and your petty bullshit will chase the noobs away. You said it yourself. You are bringing shit from another forum here. Take it back to ECF. I don't care what happened at ECF and if we all wanted that drama we could all just go over there and you wouldn't have to hide your ECF identity.

My dog in this fight is simple. This is VU. Not ECF. And your fight is unwanted. Take it back to ECF and quit fucking up this forum.

I'm not sure if smoky tried it or not, but I was happy to have her input (she makes a lot of tobaccos, so I was hoping shed comment). Her recommendations were simple and she never guaranteed it would improve the recipe; I was looking for some pointers and she gave them, which was much appreciated.
I was just pointing out this experience as a thread being derailed by additional recipe posts. Not trying to point fingers or sound unappreciative.

Had me worried, because I have been looking at all her tobaccos. I did get a reply back from her, and she will help me tomorrow. Thanks, bluraf3. I hope I learn a lot.
