List your vaping pet peeves!

[rj9923]

Just thought I'd post a thread in order to let everyone vent about vaping related frustrations...

Mine are when people ask to try your juice and fill their entire 5ml tank with it, or when people ask to try my bottom coil device, hold it upside down and take ten second drags five times in a row, burning the coil and wick I had just built. Also, when smokers try to tell you vaping is worse for you.

 

[burley]

People calling juice "oil."

People asking me to take a "toke" off my vape.

Or even simply asking to use my personal device at all, really. (It's like a toothbrush, you going to ask a stranger for a quick brush to see what flavor paste they're using?)

...people. There, that's the biggest problem I have with this hobby, the people. Not you fine people, of course, you people are fine and good. It's the "other" people out there. You know the kind, I'm sure.

Lip goo build up on your drip tip...People clean that crap off.
Sounds funny when I read it back. Ha.

 

[BoomStick]

My wife not giving me enough of an allowance to buy all the gizmos I want and running out of my one diy juice that takes a week of steeping before it's worth vaping. Basically her being stingy and me not paying attention. Damn shit!

A cashier at a B&M and I watched an older guy pull his vape away from his lips as a string of drool attached to it and drooped off obscenely. We exchanged an "eww" look. I mean, I'm sure it wasn't the dude's fault and I'm even more sure he didn't realize that it had happened, but still... ech...

Puts the 'P' in APV, for sure.

Laughing my guts out at that, but yea, ewww...I'm sure we all have had something similar happen like that. Maybe worse.

Oh lord yes, I can't count how many times I'm sure I've done something worthy of making other people react. It's life, it happens - we didn't, like, turn around and make him feel bad or yell at him or anything. Just one more instance that quickly flashes in my mind whenever the notion of letting someone else put their lips on my vape happens.

I forgot about that! Yes, it's terrible. My drip tip gets crusty within minutes after cleaning. Very embarrasing when someone asks to try your vape.

Big clouds in inappropriate places.

Please don't take me the wrong way - big clouds are great. I love big clouds. But not in the produce area of the supermarket, nor in the movie theater (both of which I've seen). It's just a sure way to get vaping banned. Use a little common sense and discretion.

This all day long!!!

I'm pretty irritated when vapers do ANYTHING that gives other vapers a bad image... and chuckin clouds all over non vapers in an indoor public place is one of those things...

Yeah, tobacco and vaping is banned at my college, but kids are still walking around the hallways with mods and rba's making gigantic clouds everywhere. The most I've ever done is vape in the bathroom or parking lot.

Hey China, can a guy get a little color!? Im so sick of black and silver, silver or black. Or if a mod/device does come in a few colors, no retailer carries them. That's why I buy wraps...Not black or silver wraps either.

 

[ChrisL]

Ebay for wraps.

[bennett2winit]

I'm getting pretty tired of a few people telling me it's not working because the point of vaping is to quit smoking completely. I haven't had a cigarette since Oct 14 2014! My girls hates it that I still vape. Is this bad? Do I need to quit vaping for my health? What if I like it too much? I don't want to quit. I like the fact of not having had a cigarette in almost a year!

And remember! Everyone watching you vape, thinks your still smoking! Keep your vape low- key, "you" in people's faces vapers...

You could always learn to paint.
I don't mean just grabbing a can and rattle bombing it. There are different preperations for different substrates and any true painter will tell you that preperation is 90% of the job.

If people think that the point of vaping is to quit smoking completely, then you have succeeded. Your vaping, not smoking. I'm sure your proud of your accomplishment. Your girls see what they think is smoke coming from dads mouth, explain to them it's not, show them some articles that show vaping is safer than cigs. Try to get them to support your freedom from cigs. Education starts early, we need young people to see that this is a better alternative to cigs. Stepping from soap box now.

 

[VapnJake]

I know this has already been mentioned but to further the point of uninformed people making statements as facts even though they have no idea what their talking about...

For example: The other night a co-worker of mine (who used to smoke and VAPED to quit smoking) exclaimed, among friends... "You know you're vaping metals!" My response is that I'd like to know where he learned THAT and would further like to know, if it is even been performed in a study of any kind, whom the financial backer for the study was... I have yet to see a study done on vaping with negative consequences that wasn't paid for by big tobacco companies..

Also our local news did a story on vaping... I wished I'd have recorded the ignorance spoken and posted it here but there was alot of crap being thrown about... One example was that Vaping contains ALOT of harmful chemicals... I wanted to call them and ask what those chemicals were just to hear the long pause and click when they hung up the phone...

Cliff Notes: Ignorance is a pet peeve of mine! lol

Stupid instagram people blowing o-rings and catching them.....real cool.....

Oh and also...when you think you have that perfect build on your atty and it says low resistance!!!! Ughhh I hate having to go back and tinker it to register. Behhh

Yeah, my grandma is a chain smoker and tells me to not vape around her because my vapor will kill her.

 

[angus67]

I drove my mom to the store, and I vape in car, she says, eww its smells so sweet and thick. She also is one to walk right up to strangers with a infant, cig in hand, and blather about how adorable I was.
She smokes two packs a day.

 

[Discobob]

Another coworker said as soon as she started vaping it gave her a cold sore so she went to the doctor and he told her it's worse than smoking and your pretty much vaping antifreeze and vasaline........yes this is what she told me. I'm like holy shit could you be anymore fucking ignorant.

I stopped recommending it at work I figured everyone that is going to switch has and the stupid fucks that talk shit about it can just keep talking shit...

 

[ren.dnb]

Companies releasing device after device after device, telling me my stuff is old and outdated when it really isn't. This has only been true this year for me, but since spring, I'm just seeing regulated box mod after regulated box mod hit the market. I'm sticking with my IPV4S hopefully for a couple of years. But please companies! Stop doing that! lol..... all the money I've saved from smoking is going to vape gear sheesh!

But the reality is, just gotta stick with whats working for me, and keep the marketing at bay. For now and for awhile, it will be Unregulated Box Mod and IPV4S in my quiver....

I see no problem with vaping in a theatre but blow your clouds down towards your feet,not up in people's line of sight.

 

[Barbara E.]

Yes, I do that too. If I'm going to a movie, it's typically late at night anyway (not many people in the theater). And I don't take a big power system, I take my little egrip and blow toward the floor. Works fine.

 

[Browncoat]

1) This guy. He's making fun of the #cloudsbro crowd on social media, which is great. But he's even more annoying than the people he's making fun of...which is not so great.

2) Vape shop employees who want me to sample their personal vape...because the e-liquid they're using is the most awesomer. I don't want to use your mod, yo. Your dirty lips have been on there. And no, don't ask for mine.

3) Vape shops in general.

4) Vape advocacy zealots. Please tell me more about being down for the struggle.

5) The Greek.

 

[DripDripptyDrip]

1. When people give me a flavor and tell me to TRY THIS without telling me whats in it =.=

2. When I have to clean more than 10 tanks at a time.

3. Vapor Blown IN MY FACE. YES YOU CAN MAKE CLOUDS, YEAH ITS A GREAT FLAVOR DO IT AWAY FROM ME.

4. People asking me "whats in it, whats in it"

 

[Whiskey]

When folks don't want to do the leg work of looking something up, and expect others to do it for them because they are too lazy, when everything is a click away.

 

[MercuryVaper]

I feel like I want a LMGTFY macro on my right click pop-up that'll just insert the results in the reply box.

WAS going to ask what that meant, but I googled it. LOL

 

[vaporchaos]

The fact that saying "I need a vape" just doesn't feel right compared to "I need a cigarette".... Feels off... Even saying" I need nicotine" doesn't have the same ring/feel to it. Leaves me feeling miffed

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.

[Teresa P]

When no matter what you say - OR POST - "someone" always knows more than you do. I'm certainly no expert, I learn more every day. But I only chime in with what I KNOW, either from experience or from someone more knowledgeable than myself. I see no need to pop in with something that's merely a reworded version of what I've already stated or comments designed to make me look stupid.
Rant over....

 

[Teresa P]

I think you're wrong about that.

You're so fulla shit.....LMAO!!

 

[Thunderball]

I hate that I am additiced to this as much as I was addicted to Cigs, although I am glad I am not hurting myself or anyone else by doing it.

Doesn't bother me in that respect, but it does crawl up my butt when it's pointed out that I'm "trading one habit for another" and I'm "still smoking something"....this usually from some dolt with a Marlboro hanging from their lip.

 

[RobbieR]

My biggest pet peeve has to be loving a juice when you sample it in the Vape Shop, but HATING it when you try it at home with your own gear.

Another minor pet peeve is vapebands getting loose and slippery after a couple days of use.

Edit: I forgot to mention Drip Tips that don't fit properly!!! I picked one of those pyrex glass drip tips last week, I love the feel of it but it is loose and wobbles on my Subtank Mini.

Can you add an o-ring?

 

[RobbieR]

I have not tried that yet, I am going to steal an o-ring from another drip tip and see if that helps.
