vape annoyances

What annoys you about vaping? It can be trivial or serious.

Trivial one for me - when it's freezing out and the metal drip tip makes you feel even more cold, almost as though your lips are about to turn black from frostbite and fall off

I think the funniest thing is how dumb people look when vaping. It looks like the have some type of Star Trek piccolo flute and they're about to play a tune.

I've been using the "smoke green" ones for about two months, and I can still get the weird taste, like the greasy vegetable oily taste, and dry teeth! :pac:

Still, sticking with them though, even though I do miss the normal cigarettes still

You should be drinking lots more water when you vape, it dehydrates you! More fluids will stop the dry teeth thing

Mine looks more like a huge mobile phone than a flute but anyway...

It's a thread in a vaping forum. About what aspect of vaping irritates a vaper.

It's not about 'blah blah blah ecigs look silly'

Hate it when you can't taste a juice anymore.

Sorry, but I didn't see the rules in the OP.

Anyway,the furtive glances that vapors give when they are about to take a puff in a non smoking area is also annoying.

moleyv · 22-11-2015 01:36PM

The stupid disapproving look on a non vapers face as I exhale something cleaner than their breath.....

On a serious note, +1 on the not tasting a favourite liquid anymore.

And, waiting on the China express even though I am not desparetly in need of it.

Haveing to change heads/rewick/recoil and some juices being unavailable to Ireland

JH_raheny · 22-11-2015 03:45PM

Non vaping cnuts that come into vaping forums with their stupid opinions.

Cleaning tanks but that's self inflicted because I like to have 3-4 flavours at hand

jonski · 22-11-2015 06:00PM

It annoys me that it's all about the direct lung inhales with the new rebuildable tanks coming out , where's the affordable mouth to lung rebuildables tanks with the quality and ease of the sub tank mini ?

GOD.DAMN.IT !

Build a .8 or so coil on the subtank and MTL around 15 watts and it's as good if not better then any of the old MTL tanks.

And on topic: Yeah the f-ing ex-smokers who like harass vapers that haven't done the full cold turkey holier than thou quit thing - I vape in your general direction asshats.

Azatadine · 22-11-2015 10:56PM

I miss the good old 1.8 ohm single coil, full flavour atomisers like the Bulli, Spheroid, A7 etc.

8-10 watts. All about flavour back then. God, the Bulli really was a cracker.

All gone crazy now with 50-100w fog machines and nic hits.

I totally agree with both them pain in the neck to do's...

I have mentioned this a long time back,I vape doing a round robin on about 30 different flavours (I have cut down on flavours) on different devices,I may not fill up or clean for a month whilst doing it this way,but there does come come a time when I have to fill,clean dry burn or change/re-coil coils,most times it's just one or two I have to clean now & again,a very odd time a lot of the devices needs filling & cleaning at the same time,yesterday was that day,I spent the whole day filling,cleaning,coiling & wicking 19 of these devices,they all needed doing at the same time & the other lot is not far behind....

That's what I hate doing....LOL but it's worth it.

dohouch · 23-11-2015 11:23AM

Seems I'm the only one who suffers leaking tanks,:eek: (except GS Air

)
And flying on Wednesday, time to get the mops out.
Battery usage when sub-ohming, carrying enough battery power to start a small engine.

Other peoples ignorance, especially older people with the evil eye.
There's this one silly old bint at our bus stop, now I make a real effort to blow away from people in general, but you know occasionally it will go into their space no matter what you do. Well this clown makes a real show of tutting and 'ugh' and waving her hands around like an idiot.
It's embarrassing (for her not me). Even my wife, a full on anti smoker and loves that I'm vaping and on nearly no nicotine also, laughs at her antics.
The constant barrage of misinformation in the media. Its so blatantly led by tobacco and and pharma companies and I'm sick of telling poeple who come up with the usal garbage of 'blah blah worse than smoking etc'. Why hasn't any of the bigger companies come out with positive worldwide information?

JH_raheny · 23-11-2015 01:25PM

I can so relate to the above, there is one of those evil eye grumpy old men in my local, I do always make sure not sit sit to near him if possible to avoid his bull****.
Had another one last week, guy came in a decided to sit 1 seat away from me only to straight away complain that my vaping was giving him a headache

SuperGrover · 23-11-2015 02:22PM

"See dem yokes, de're 20 times worse than de fags, give ya cancer and blow up an' all'

Or any variation of the above from gargled lads outside boozers as they spark up another Major.

Read this. The report itself. You are forearmed...

https://www.gov.uk/government/news/e-cigarettes-around-95-less-harmful-than-tobacco-estimates-landmark-review

I've actually shown this to a couple of people who don't vape and have found it very interesting.

For the garglers, I just do a "Yeah, that right? Jaysus" kind of thing. Can't be arsed.

syklops · 23-11-2015 02:38PM

The tank leaking for no obvious reason. A resulting annoyance is sticky/damp fingers.

Battery power. Its a while since Ive been on a night out, but last few times I did, after a few drinks when your friends are smoking more and you want to vape more you get that Lo Batt message. Even worse is running out of juice on a night out. If Im forewarned I bring two full tanks but if a casual drink turns into a few, Im either getting stares at the bar as i refill or Im just plain out.

When your out of juice and the only place selling any is tobacco flavour or even worse American tobacco. Hate that stuff.

The adding cost of equipment. I was given a Mod and bought a nightcharger and a load of batteries. Mod broke and in a pinch bought an iStick aaaaand the batteries arent compatible. :rolleyes:

On the iStick, having to balance it on the edge of the table for charging it upright.

8mm · 23-11-2015 02:52PM

Strangers wanting a go on that fancy vape gear you have and in my head I'm ewwww yuk arrrg - how can I be nice about not wanting some fools mouth around my precious.

Note to self: spare drip tips, no wait stranger sharing drip tips never to be used by me ever!

From that report:

"The problem is people increasingly think they are at least as harmful and this may be keeping millions of smokers from quitting."

Which sort of begs the question, what do these people think these things were invented for?

Well even if vaping is as bad for you as regular smoking, having vaped for a year now I feel so much healthier. No pint of phlegm in my throat in the morning. No constant cough. My evidence is purely anecdotal, but for me I certainly feel 10 times healthier.

Maybe I'm labouring the point but that report states vaping is at least 95% safer than smoking.

I don't think anyone is questioning that point, at least I wasn't anyway.

Clarifying for syklops which is why I quoted him directly.

Na your not the only one.I have a jacket that my subtank leaked Kings Crest into.And the smell is still there after about 10 washes.

Flying and forgetting to empty the tank first is my bone of contention.

People puffing away on a cigarette telling you that its worse than the real cigs.

Coils and changing them.Surely someone can come up with a cleanable coil that will last forever!!!!

Running low on battery power.I take my 50w and my 20w with me if Im on the beer-just in case!!

Learnt that one the hard way flying back from Chicago at the weekend, now have a pocket that smells like its got a bulmer's orchard growing in it.

glicster · 24-11-2015 11:18PM

Whem you hit a bad run and cant pull a simple coil together. Took me since the end of the 9 o clock news till now to put a coil on a lemo 2. Normally a 5minute job turned into a 45 minute job. Well pissed now!!

the untitled user · 25-11-2015 12:19AM

Switching between a sub-ohm and an MTL tank on my mod and forgetting to drop the wattage. :mad:

Gez69 · 26-11-2015 11:30PM

The nautilus mini...It doesn't seem to matter how loosely I screw the bottom on after refilling, it's always a battle to unscrew it again when I next have to refill. I'm always worried I will break the glass tank because I have to grip it so damn hard.
