I've been a wondering how much time some members spend on this forum and why? and do you think you're hooked?
Also, some (relatively) new members have already achieved over a 1,000 posts in a few weeks!!!!!!!!!
I figure it is a terrific place to grow your knowledge and (at the same time) help new members/vapors by answering their questions; but is there an issue here regarding 'status' or else something more elusive.......
My family think I spend too much time on it but my average posts are only around 2 posts a day, granted, mostly accumulated in the last few months.
What's your take on it?
Like most of us out here, we're anxiously awaiting the 15,000,000th post. However, I've been keeping an eye on the number of members on ECF.
I'm wondering if we'll hit 223,000 members before we hit 15,000,000 posts....
We're under 13,000 posts to go and only 129 members to go....
Place your bets
Check out the PIF forum!
Many members have accumulated vaping gear over time and generously trade or donate their outgrown stuff. Bookmark the Pif forum. Check it often. Then, when your time comes - Pay it Forward.
There are PIF forums for the UK and Canada, as well.
When I was new I found navigating this forum overwhelming. I thought it might help some of the new folks to point out a good place for them to go.
Happy Vaping!
hi all,
i have been reading this forum every day for more than a year.
after some time i have come to the conclusion that some types of posts
are not necessarily what they see to be.
specifically posts in the new vaper forum where a poster claiming to be
new to vaping goes on and on extolling the virtues of their obviously advanced
set ups and the juice they use and on the other hand supposed new vapers
trashing the same or mostly the same set ups and juice.
i am beginning to think that most of these type posts are thinly veiled endorsements
or deliberate trashing of said set ups and or juice and have nothing to do with
the "new to vaping vapers" actual experience.
what do you good people think?,or is it tinfoil time?
regards
mike
I began my journey in 2014 after a severe DAI
When my neurologist was pleased to see my vape back then and encouraged the switch then boom, all systems go
In the time I’ve spent recovering, ECF and all of its members have contributed and I appreciate it.
While I was doing my daily cognitive exercises, going to rehab and various doctor appointments ECF was there
The information I picked up to keep safe or pass the time, welcome people or chat with familiar members while having a good read through all that has been invaluable to me
some guy here even fixed my computer!
Thanks a lot ECF members. Good people
edit; I instantly need a mod to move this to the social. My memory has always been terrible
I'm seeing many posts lately about people having problems, some majorly, with Clearo and Clearo tanks.
I just wanted to put it out there that there is another option that they may not have seen yet- cartomisers.
There are only a few makers of this product ( Boge, Smoketechs, etc..) but there aren't many posts about them simply because many of we users don't have issues using them, so nothing to post...
To find out more, there is a sub-forum here and many Utube vids plus many of us still use them happily on a daily basis.
I just wanted to put this out there for newcomers and such that may not be aware of another choice before thay return to cigs.
Happy Vaping
I just realized that as of a few days ago I have been haunting these halls for half a decade. WOW.
I would like to thank all of the members here for the advise, knowledge, and laughs.
I would also like to encourage all of the new members to explore this forum thoroughly and spread the word to those who have not benefited from the amazing people here.
Thank you all.
See ya around.
I still remember better times, when I would open a "General Discussion" forum and see only today's posts. Yesterday's posts I could find only at the bottom of the second page. What I see now? Only ten (10!) threads are recent. And at the end of the first (FIRST!) page I see 3 threads that are four (4!) days old. Sad, isn't it? I loved ECF...
I was just in the "New Members Forum" and come to realize how much I don't know about vaping. Good God, some of these "newbies" are way more advanced than I am. When I joined ECF just a few months ago, folks were still posting questions about EGOs and cig alikes. Now there asking about coil builds and mods, and concerned about blowing clouds. Guess I'm just one of the Old folks on the front porch....
Had issues with members and moderators years ago for idr what problems. "Banned" from creating a thread and replying to 2/3 I was active in...
Im currious way years later.... how many own and use the "new" billet box rv4 clone(s)? Also the bridges, and what is your "favorite" configuration of bridges plus build?...
I have both sxk clones, 60dna and 70w sku chipset. As far as bridges, the exocet is the only thing to seem worth while... even after all the new bridges afterwards...
Edit: just seen there is no longer a link to the ECF chat.....
maybe thats why it's dead without rbot.
I was asked this question yesterday by a friend who remarked "Every time I visit you, you're playing around with your (ecig) stuff. How many hours a day do you *spend messing around with it?" (*I think he actually used the verb "waste", but I'll let his non-vaper's judgment slide for the sake of friendship)
I hadn't given it any thought till he said something, but it's true. Every time this friend drops by, he seems to catch me in the process of washing, building, wicking, or tinkering with something ecig related. After thinking about it, I'll estimate that I spend an average of 30 to 45 minutes a day tinkering. On a day like Sunday when I have a lot of free time, it's probably more like an hour and a half.
It's not that I have to devote that much time, I just enjoy the tinkering aspect (refilling my Kayfuns with needle-nosed bottles excepted. That part of it is pure tedium for me). But admittedly, that does seem like a lot of time. When it all adds up, it's like a full day out of every month that I spend just tinkering.
So, how much time do you spend washing, building, wicking, filling, swapping batteries, and generally tinkering with your stuff? This is NOT including actual vaping time, only tinkering.
