I get what you're saying
@crustyfolker , I really do, but surely choice still has a place in people's minds? Yes I know that many here will completely disagree with choices I have made with which Mods I chose to purchase, but equally, there are a few whom also like them.
I also completely understand your motivations when you make posts such as these and I am sure we all appreciate your thought processes, but I for one still enjoy what I now have. I KNOW I could potentially have saved myself a lot of money if I had gone down the usual routes and certainly would have done so if I had purchased far more from China, but I chose not to. My fault (If it is seen as a fault?) but I do enjoy individuality and that extends into my hobby.
Another good point about when we were smokers though
I often wonder which brand of smoke would have required the equivalent of 80+ watts to make it enjoyable?
Choice exactly, but sometimes the choice is removed, we all have the right to freedom of speech yet there are things you can't say, We should all have the choice what our bodies consume, again some folks think they know better than others. My point is we are all different some folks will want the advice some won't. A debate is just that, the choice ultimately lies with whoever the debate effects.
We are all in the same boat we all vape we all have our favourites but you cannot fault my way of thinking, that belongs to me as does your way of thinking belongs to you, whether we agree or not is immaterial and thus is no ones elses business to comment on.
I do think both mine and your health affect how we are on any given day. I know some days i am different to other days both physically and mentally and i think you are similar, some days you ignore a post similar to one you would pull up on another occassion
. I never intensionally set out to cause grief, i feel i struggle to make things sound better due to the time it takes me to write a post, thus it's slightly rushed and comes accross the wrong way sometimes, all i am doing is trying to provide folks with tools to help make a decision then often feel the need to defend why and what i have wrote.
Individuality, you are talking to a master of, which is why i often take the mick out of folks who all follow each other and you already said it yourself my ways are individual. All i need is for folk to realise this is part of me and can't be changed.
Hobby wise it's part collection for me part shinyitus. I totally get you on the China buying, i have used that route a lot and yes i see a point i could have a much smaller collection of mods etc and agree i probably waste money for the sake of it at times, there is no right or wrong though in how we choose to vape or maintain our hobby.
Don't take offence please but do give some thought to things. Every action is usually caused through another action, there is no room for racism, sexism, or abuse etc. But a simple post or thread without any of those is an opinion and should not be called out. I have said this before but forums are not the same as actually knowing people. I think many of us would form better opinions of each other if it where the case.
There's only one way of life and that's your own.
