Thanks buddy .... Yeah I joined this forum quite some time back but never posted here b4........... I have been away from ECF for awhile but when I logged on the other day I quickly discovered what had happened there and needless to say it ticked me off..... But it hardly surprises me because I continuously had trouble with those miserable moderators at ECF.

Now drinking out of this glass seems pointless. Where did my life go so wrong? :oops:



The BT cigalikes I think are really there just to give smokers the "illusion" that they tried vaping and it sucked. It's either that - a small cigarette sized device that feels familiar (and sucks) or a huge fucking brick with highly unstable batteries. The media certainly doesn't help will all these ridiculous stories. A lot of people still think there's antifreeze in the liquid. And the cool cloud bros that blow up mech mods on a weekly basis making headlines don't help either (nor do these battery companies that Mooch proves are bullshitters). Sure cigarettes may give that smoker cancer eventually but compared to sucking on a hand grenade they just stick with the devil they know. But yes, regardless of which place they go, it's better they get off the analogs and vape safely over everything else.

You make a lot of very good points! Knowing what we know now, it's hard to remember how we thought when we first started. It was me, and I also see it in the vast majority of people who are thinking of switching though, that you want the same form factor as a cigarette, and the flavor of a nasty cigarette too at first. Totally misguided of course, and it makes my puppy slippers cry to think people would really prefer to say "Oh well, tried it, it sucks" rather than just start googling how to find a BETTER experience.. Unfortunately, cigarettes kill the lazy and unmotivated AFTER their child bearing years are behind them...

Mssr. Cheese, ya know those contest threads? One of my NEW favorite musical artists that I learned of in those threads, are In This Moment (Maria Brink is hawt). You might get a laugh out of this reprimand I received for posting their "Sex Metal Barbie" music video... I colored the funniest part in red. Just about fell outta my chair laughing when I read it...

LouisLeBeau,

Forum Rules

30. Videos
Any video posted or linked to on ECF must be of broadcast standard in its language and content. No offensive material may be published, and videos must be work-friendly and family-friendly in the content and especially language.




After having been warned on one video, On the next video you posted one that has sex written across the hat, and screams sex multiple times.


Having had multiple warnings, a three day vacation, and a warning just a few hours ago reminding you about the content of videos, I have decided to issue another 3 day suspension. In future remember to keep your videos family friendly

Hahaha... I'm not going to say who the moderator was, but THAT is some Victorian Era thinking going on there. Sex written on her hat! And screams sex multiple times! OMG!!!


Definitely one of the reasons I want to keep my ECF account. Just so I can go back and read that when I need a good laugh. Oh, the suspension lasted about 20 minutes. I think somebody over-ruled... ;)

Lol I heard that not too long ago on Sirius XM Octane, good song. So even the word sex is offensive but chode isn't. The other day in the Womper Room, one person said the word retarded, another person said hey guys can we not throw that word around I have a child who is disabled. Apologies were issued and it was done. No need for mods, just say hey that is offensive to me.

Chode, as the Brits know it, is simply, jerk. Not the Urban Dictionary def. And considering that the guy was coming into ROXY'S thread to whine about a lil vacay time, I thought it was frickin delightful. It's also key that he framed it as "perhaps it is because you were acting like a chode" as a hypothesis, and I've definitely gotten away with those kinda shenanigans over there. Ya just gotta be careful that you don't put it like "you're a chode". They are big on small distinctions...

Oh I see. I don't get all that Brit slang so when I read it I was like WTF did smokey joe really just call this guy a fat dick? Also how is this word not censored. He went back and added after the pub post that there was a vape event and that's why he closed the thread to go to the pub.

Yeah, I saw that.. the event started the next day. So either, he's a party animal, in which case he gets a couple more points from me, or it was BS to stop that thread from keeping on coming to the top of "recent posts" and attracting yet MORE people to it. Being an optimist, I'll go with the former, but the latter makes more sense from a damage control perspective..

You're in the right place. Everyone has been really welcoming and there's no fuss for saying Fuck. :D It is good

Definitely damage control. They just lost a lot of members over their strict ass rules of nonsense.

In all fairness (grudgingly) SJ did say in an earlier post that the reason the thread was still open (at the time) was because he had the time to sit and reply to the thread. I don't actually recall the exact wording but from what I gathered, he was trying to be understanding and helpful. At least in appearances... o_Oo_O

I don't knowo_O People always interpret things in their own way and i could be totally wrong. Plus I've not seen enough posts by SJ to even garner an opinion one way or another. ;)

Yeah when I logged on to ECF the other day I was wondering why lots of the people were using the same avatar lol .... Cromwell then messaged me and explained what had happened while I was gone......... Of course, it didn't surprise me as I have been in numerous fights with the mods over there. One time I got so pissed off that I wrote the forum owner lol..... He fixed the problem as that particular moderator has never bugged me since that time....but that moderator is still a jerk to other people as I still see him acting like a tyrant.

True. I guess at this point what's done is done. We're here, we're having a fun time shooting the shit (and being allowed to talk like big boys and girls) and we aren't smoking. I think things are looking pretty good.

If it's Retired1 or whatever, he has a very big following here in this thread...and not in a good way. I think the word douchenozzle was commonly used.

So what's everyone vaping on tonight? I'm enjoying some Blue Dot Vapor's Moo Fields in my Alleria RTA. This tank is flavor overdose.

Another refugee has arrived. Not sure I'll be participating much on either side of the fence ATM, I have this bitter taste that's hard to shake.. :rolleyes:

Hey Douggro, welcome. I can understand that. There has been quite a bit of venting here lately and not 18650s. I made lots of friends over there and met tons of great, helpful people. It's their mods (some not all) and policies I don't like. Whatever you choose, you know where to find us :)

Same here... I had been away for a couple of months and so didn't get to see all the fireworks but found out about it the other day when I logged on and Cromwell told me about what happened. I really got mad because both RoxyNoodle and AndriaD are very good people who are not only fun to chat with but have done lots to help newbies learn about vaping.

I'm not typically one to incite civil disorder.. but it WOULD be kinda funny on April fools day if a bunch of dual citizens went over there, and started reporting a bunch of completely inoffensive posts to give the mods somethin to do.. I don't think there is really anything in the TOS about being offended by inoffensive posts.. ;)

It was boot the bitches month over there.

Well, the bitches feel welcome here :D And it's a new month.
Sorry as hell Roxy to hear about what happened to you :( I was away from the forum for awhile and when I logged on the other day I thought I was seeing things because everyone was using your avatar lol.... I didn't know what was happening until Cromwell explained it to me...... I have had many outings with those miserable moderators over there so you are not alone in that regard. You were a great asset to that forum and they are dick-heads for treating you that way.

April Fools day is over for me :( but I do enjoy some mischief every once and a while. We could report the mods for offending us for being mods...;)

I think you and @AndriaD should get Moses badges for leading the Exodus :cool:

Yeah, there's no formal noob area here, since there's no minimum post count. We have an intro section, but not everyone uses that, either. Most just start wherever they feel like, which is totally fine. A shit ton of people lurk even after joining. I say, come out and play! We're fun people. We even have one of these! http://vapingunderground.com/threads/bacon-tits.1025/

A most excellent diversionary tactic. I know these kinda shenanigans, and it's why they make BOOKmarks..

Looks promising! Maybe someone will start a "Ask the klueless but incurably want to be helpful" thread, so I can help too? :)

Hell yeah man. Just scrolling over some of the titles, most start out "hey so I'm new to vaping and have a question". These people need a hero, YOU could be that hero. Instead of Ohm's Law you could be Ohm's Justice, the caped vaper (go get a cape).

Has the cig alikes like Vuse and them actually helped anyone? I know I tried them a few times and wanted a cig while puffing one a Blue cig a like. They sucked and not satisfying at all.
But what you said is so very true. You have the media putting out bullshit stories about vaping by clueless reporters who want to sensatonalize the dangers instead of actually reporting on the stupidity of the individual and then all the sheep jump on the band wagon. I have a niece that is constantly posting to me on facebook all this stupid crap on vaping like mods blowing up on someone and batteries blowing up in a guys pocket and no matter how many times i explain to her that her old unc doesnt smoke because of vaping and will live a lot longer because of it, her mind is already made up that its far more dangerous than smoking was.
I am a firm believer in the Constitution and freedom of the press is very important in my opinion but there should be a clause on responsibility of the press to report accurately and fairly. In this day and age the press willingly reports any lie they want and are held to zero accountability. Just once i would like to see a major news media report that an idiot blew off half his face because he was practising unsafe vaping habit by super sub ohming with batteries that was never designed to take that kind of load despite plenty of available information that if he would of heeded would of prevented him from being such a stupid fuck.
