Top Ten 'Newbie Mistakes' List

[jj2]

Taking so long to find the right cart filler and getting around to using a syringe to fill because it seems adding liquid at the bottom cuts down on liquid in the mouth and flooding the atty.
OH, yeah, taking so long to use a mod.

I guess I got lucky, I stumbled on this site before I ever bought my first PV and only made a couple of the mistakes listed.

 

[scross1]

My biggest mistake other than ordering my first PV before discovering this forum, was ordering juice from several vendors other than Tasty Vapor. Won't repeat that mistake.

 

[Lisbeth]

Overfill, definitely.

When the atomizer is bubbling like a hookah, it's too full.

 

[sabrin20]

Overfilling not buying more the 1 kit or more batteries and attys.

 

[vapingtx]

not buying enough batts, atty, juice, flavors, carts in first order to be able to fully start vaping and having to wait for 2nd order to come (should be here tomorrow).

I guess the opposite could be said too...ordering too much and not liking much of it and having to spend more finding e cig, flavors that you like. HA

 

[Vap Khymyst]

Lurking for days.. weeks before joining and being able to reply, ask questions and see pics.

 

[Savannah D]

Not starting MUCH sooner!!!

not ordering larger quantity to save on repeat shipping charges ( I dont mean with juice because I know that takes time) but I mean such as the ecig batteries, atomizers, and so on which can usually be returned if you dont like them (check the return policies first though!)

Modifying a USB Passthrough to plug directly into a 120vac wall outlet for better vapor production. On second thought, that probably never happened, and even if it did, doubtful they would have survived to tell about it? lol

Overfilling and not getting enough batteries/carts/etc when starting.

# Whatever - Not sticking with it, or not giving it a real chance.

Ie - expecting an e-cig to be a genie in a bottle that will make you magically forget all about analogs just by opening the package, then wash your car and clean your house for you, just before it rushes off to run some errands before it fixes dinner and puts the kids to bed.

Yes, I know some people who act like that. 8-o They still smoke.

Modifying a USB Passthrough to plug directly into a 120vac wall outlet...

Did you hear a "pop" when the atomizer died, or did it just sigh, roll it's eyes and jump straight into the trash can?

lol

I may have saved a life by stating the obvious for many, perhaps not as obvious for some? One never knows?

 

[vandrixfly]

Throwing out old "dead" attys before getting a higher voltage device...

 

[MissRoboSm0ke]

My favorites that have been said are:
- trusting what suppliers say about the life of parts and a cartridge's equivalency to analog cigs, OR honestly, trusting anything suppliers say for that matter...
- not ordering enough on the first order so a week later I'm left empty handed, waiting on that package in the mail I had to pay shipping for that could have been combined with my first order!
- not discovering e cigs SOONER!

Personal mistake: I've been vaping for over a month and still have trouble figuring out the right kind of stuffing for the cartridge and exactly how much to use. I feel like I waste alot of juice... Any suggestions?

I like the Marineland Blue Foam Mod. There are several threads on ECF concerning that.

 

[blindsoup]

Not learning about the Vaping Community years ago.......

 

[jdg]

Not buying a different model as soon as the Noob becomes frustrated with his or her starter kit.
Once I started flipping back and forth between the 510 and the 801 (Joye 302), I was much more satisfied with both.

Believing everything you read on ECF instead of finding out what works best for YOU.

Not believing what you read on ECF.

Blaming your inability to completely quit analogs (there's that word again) and/or enjoy Vaping based on the belief it was all due to faulty PV's, bad e-juice, poor filler, poor service, slow shipping, lack of information, relationship issues, weak moral character, inability to commit, hesitation to try something new, fear of pg/vg, and/or self criticizing because it didn't all happen effortlessly as soon as you tried your first PV.
