Regarding the loose drip tip, you might also try 1) removing the o-ring, 2) wrap a bit of dental floss in the groove, and 3) replace the o-ring.

I was wondering what the hell Teresa was talking about. O-ring for a Vape Band? :confused:

I didn't scroll up to see you had added a DT comment.
And I had just read your post, so I didn't reread the quote box. :p
Someone is past due for his daily beating.....;):D

I got a few new ones.
All the stupid motherfuckers who call ejuice oil... I do not vape pot so fuck off.. then look at you and ask with their rotted chunk of fuck they call a brain "then what do you get out of it then?"
"hmm I get calm, but you are the bigger winner by being able to remain upright and breathing instead of me bludgeoning you the fuck to death!"

Stupid people who insist on spending their money at local places who have 150-300% mark up on everything at places that are infested with douche bag jerk offs.

A tank that gurgles, forgetting your spare battery and spare bottle of juice when you have to leave the house in a hurry, PEOPLE WHO CALL VAPING SMOKING, idiots! The term E-CIGARETTES, makes it sound like smoking, come on there has to be a better term.

Pet Peeve?

How about all the people who toss ALL the jargon at a newb, or a person looking into vaping?

I spent an hour listening to just that clown. After he left, I simply told the guy to go by a juice bar, and test some flavors. Then have someone recommend a set up for him, at a reasonable price.

This is really simple, it's not rocket science. But the more we act like it is, and the more confusing we make it sound. The less likely we are to get a smoker to come into the fold.

I've helped 4 make the move, in the last month. By answering their questions. And asking questions, so I understood what they wanted and expected.

I had to rack my head on this one. I probably have but one peeve at present. Going into vape shops where the markup is at least double the cost from here or other sites.

This and my local vape shop who wants to open everything I buy new. If there is something wrong with the damn thing I will bring it back to you, you don't have to unbox everything I buy from you in front of me it pisses me off!

WTF? I've never experienced that before, in a vape shop. Do they test it? A lot of problems pop up AFTER a little use, anyways.

A quick way to remedy that. Tell them you don't like "that" one, and ask for another of the exact same item. It may take a couple of times, but they'll catch on.

The main one: The general public. I have been outside and heard people comment on the 'smoke' and surely it isn't safe. Some people I have actually educated and shown them how it works, and that it is as dangerous as going into your bathroom with the steam, and there is no smoke involved ( I don't vape inside unless the place is vape friendly, like my local supermarket is).

I tone it down so I am not blowing huge clouds, as that also annoys me, people who go somewhere completely with disregard to others, like in Mcdonalds there was a teenager with a Subbox and subtank mini (I think ) That was obviously turned up high to get massive clouds, and he was blowing them up, left right and centre, not discreetly and giving vapers a bad name.

My fiancee using her Mechanical mod (mine arrived today too as I accidently ordered 2 baby blue ones) instead of her regulated before knowing safety advice. She keeps saying tell me tommorow, you've made it safe (which I have) but I want her to KNOW herself how to make it safe. I don't let her take it home though, only the SIG 50 that I bought her.

Thats also annoying, that she is using the mech with a dripper MORE than the perfectly good regulated mod that I got her, and you can simply adjust the wattage up/down whereas I have built her a coil that puts out 25W. I think its just a phase because it is new and she likes it though.

This may be trivial to some, but I hate, hate, hate, getting juice on my fingers. Even the tiniest bit. It's like fingernails on a chalk board to me having that sticky residue just hangs around for what seems to be forever until you wash with soap. Maybe it has to do with working in a hospital, but unclean sticky fingers are a nightmare to me.

I work in a machine shop, a little e-juice is usually the nicest thing I have on my hands most days :D
 
Pre orders for stuff at full price.
Walking in to a B&M and all I see is way way over priced clones. There are soo many affordable attys out there now days that are just as good or better then the clones.
Being told that im inhaling Anit-Freeze, by a person smoking a analog smoke.
Bars that I cant vape in but over 1/2 the people in the bar are sucking down analogs
and my #1 the ring of wasted juice that forms just under my glass dropper bottle some how even tho I'm super careful not to loose any juice when I pull out the dropper top.

Ahh, I had a smoker telling me how it can not be safe and so forth. So I told him he stank like an ashtray as I have sense of smell and taste unlike him, and am in as much danger as going into a steam filled bathroom, while he is very likely to get lung cancer. He didn't like that I don't think by his body language afterwards.

Buying a Vapor Shark DNA 30 for 180 bucks and then Ileaf coming out with the same thing for 30 bucks that kicks Vapor Sharks ass......

One example only.......this has happened to me on many occasions.

I now have a "netflix mentality" that if I am patient, I can enjoy something for next to nothing in a few months.

Speaking as a store owner, we always open the package 'to make sure everything is there'. You learn to do this after you have a couple of people bring things back claiming that something was missing from the package (including a woman who claimed the Kanger SubTank itself was missing from the sealed package).

But as a general rule, we offer to put everything together and make sure everything is working properly. A number of customers have mentioned how much they appreciate that.

LOL for somethings depending on the local regulations on the books they might not be able to take a return of it if faulty.

I know they might not resell it but some personal use items are a never return kind of thing... IE. underwear and dildos are just some of the things I can think of.

When I worked in an adult type place that sold buzzy things we were required by the store to at least test to make sure they buzzed before bagging them for the customer. Once in custies hands it was by local law we could not do a return even if it had not left he store.

OK I know this isn't about vaping so much as vaping forums...and I know I'm gonna get a boatload of grief over this but.....the fucking pet pictures plastered all over the place......enough already with your slobbering mutts and mange ridden cats....they're like people showing you pictures of their kids, but far worse....parents have the common decency to know that their kid isn't the jewel of everybodys eye and so they seem to have a sense of decorum....but pet owners just don't get it...to you it's cute, but others it's just a fucking dog.....let the gnashing of teeth and renting of clothes begin........
