remember when you were the newbe?

[lrd3]

just thought i would post a reminder. many of us seem to forget just how frustrating it was to get the "learning curve" of our PVs and juice. when we all started we had to to use the new members forum. and sit in front of our computers and wait for some one to help us.
try to remember the frustration you went through and pop in on the new members from time to time.
our knowledge is only useful to others if we share it. and me talking to some one else who has been vaping for yrs about mods and batt life is great. but there could be some one in the new members forum who is starring at a pv he/she doesn't under stand and reaching for his/her smokes......
just a thought...

Thank you for the reminder.

And even after 8 months since I started reading on ECF, there's just more different PV, more sellers, more liquids to try, more articles, more sticky thread, it doesn't get any easier!

I still feel like a new member. There's just too much to learn and I feel I'll never become an 'expert' (humm... 'expert'... a former drip under pressure... ).

That was 5 months and $1500.00 ago, but all is good now.

Too bad there isn't a quit banner that says "invested" instead of "saved".

I have been vaping for about 2 years now. It's really become a hobby, i can spend hours reading ECF and other e-cig forums. Spend even more hours fiddlin' with box mods etc. etc etc. Good clean fun!

 

[jcamacho]

Why did you wait so long to join ECF?

Discovering vaping was probably the best thing to happen to me health-wise, and the worst thing to happen to me financially

I'm nearly 6 months into it but I still feel completely clueless and feel like I'm asking stupid questions, but no one has ever gotten short with me (that I've noticed, at least) and I always get good answers on this site, and I get them very fast! I'm very thankful for that, or I probably would have broken down and gone back to analogs a few times. Keep my name in mind for when you read what you think is a stupid question and its coming from me! haha

Thank's for reminding us about what it was like. If it wasn't for the help I received I wouldn't be vaping today.

The only "stupid" question is the one not asked.

Just keep in mind that we 'all' were newbes at one time and didn't know e-cigs from Adam's house cat.

BUMP......this is important to newbes

I spent months vaped inferior pv's and still smoking, ECF members helped me find the right pv and juices to get me off analogs so I spend a lot of time in the new members forum trying to give back what I have learned. I may not be an expert but I know what helped me. Even giving an ata boy to someone that has gone a week without an analog can help someone stay motivated.

 

[Curlygirl27]

LOL I still AM the newbie! Just maybe not as new as some.

 

[Maast]

I'm only a bit more than a month into it, and I feel I've hit the 80% of the learning curve, but only because I've read/watched all the info in the ECF library and the newbie stickies. The 6 part series was particularly helpful.

I'm still stuck on figuring out how to put one of those banner things on my posts that show when you quit, how many analogs missed Then again, I am only 1 week in!!

I have been vaping over a year now , the forums are the best place to be , everybody has always been very helpful and encouraging . THere is a TON of info and stuff out there so figuring out what works can be taunting at times BUT hang in there somebody will have the right answer eventually.

Everybody I have run across has been very cool and giving of their knowledge and experience.

DO the SAME old timers LOL I guess thats me almost ???

 

[FreakyStylie]

Just had my first "loss of flavor" moment yesterday. It scared the crap outta me. I couldn't taste the juice. It almost tasted like a cigarette. I have read hundreds of posts about it, and thought, "that's just silly", but I was actually experiencing it, and it sucked. All is fine now.

One more experience down. On my way to being less noobish.

ice, go to http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/site-feedback-help/129166-signature-issue.html and see if you can find something there that will help you get your banner going.

Just remember, there can be no more than 3 lines in your signature.
