Is our forum missing anything?

I would say the only thing missing maybe is a bit more organization with the forums themselves, kind of a push towards community stuff? Giveaways, shirts, artwork competitions, etc. Just fun human stuff on top of the vape stuff.

 

I'm curious about the vendors' sections. Do they contact you for permission to post on the forum, or do you promote to them?

The reason why I'm asking is because I notice that there are quite a few members from the U.S., but no U.S. vendors.

 

I would very much like to see a sticky somewhere with all the general lingo and terms explained in more detail without having to guess what terms like tanks, coils, juicing etc actually mean. I'm new to vaping, so understand a few, but for anyone coming here to think about starting the process, it could be very confusing.

 

I agree, it would be good to have a permanent place for links that new vapers can go to learn more about vaping. Not just for lingo, but some basic information that new folks need in order to make an educated decision about their first rig, or even which rig might be better for them to upgrade to from their starter kits.

 

I am having a hard time figuring out the multiple quote part. I for the life of me cannot figure out how to quote multiple post in a reply. Am I missing something? can anyone help me?

 

Hi Personablue... You can click that little "Reply" link on the bottom right of multiple posts to quote more than one. For example; I quoted you above by clicking on the "Reply" link, I hit <enter> to create a line break for readability, I click "Reply" on one of my previous quotes,

and insert a second quote that I can respond to.

Hope this helps

 

I also forgot to mention that you can quote snippets of a conversation by deleting the lines between the brackets in the beginning and the brackets at the end.

For example, here is part of a very long post that I wrote:

I like to try out different vendors to see what they have to offer, but I do not go with the "top shelf" juices because I am still smoking. I was browsing around for an ejuice vendor when I ran across several positive reviews of VistaVapors.

I decided to take a look at the website and found that they offer free shipping on orders over $50, they are usually running some kind of promo that gives folks 10% off their orders, and they have a rewards program.

I was a bit disappointed that they did not carry a 555 blend, RY4, Fire and Ice (for hubby), Cherry Tobacco, Vanilla Tobacco, Pumpkin Spice, Keoke Coffee, Chocolate Cherry, or Chocolate Hazelnut flavors. I was also a bit dismayed that they did not customize the nic levels in their juices a bit more.

They have some nice add-ons: for a couple bucks more, you can create your own flavor, or add "flavor boosts" for a bit extra flavor. After seeing the overwhelmingly positive reviews for their ejuice, I ordered some for my husband and me.
​

Let's say that you only want to quote the part where I expressed my disappointment that the vendor did not carry certain flavors. You would just delete the first lines after the opening brackets and the line before the ending brackets to make it look something like this when you draft the message:

[Beginning quote bracket]I was a bit disappointed that they did not carry a 555 blend, RY4, Fire and Ice (for hubby), Cherry Tobacco, Vanilla Tobacco, Pumpkin Spice, Keoke Coffee, Chocolate Cherry, or Chocolate Hazelnut flavors. I was also a bit dismayed that they did not customize the nic levels in their juices a bit more.[Ending quote bracket]

 

I know this is a vape-related forum, but I'd honestly like to see a General topics section where people can just chill and talk about recent happenings as well as their hobbies outside of vaping. I've seen a lot of succesful forums with this feature and it allows for a non-specific user base which may not be as experience in vaping as other people, and simply want to chat.

 

I was looking around for that too. No real off-topic board, but I suppose every board doesn't need one. A place for forum games is always a giggle too when you get people into them!

 

Imo it's a necessity for most places. A person may not want to move to an entirely different forum and set up an account just to chat about things that they want. If a general section was made then it'd probably keep more users in the long run, due to it allowing a non-specific environment.

 

This really should be done as soon as possible, as I have seen, many new vapers join the forums and they might not know what those terms mean, that section should be added, for real.

 

Yeah, that would be a great idea. Lots of weird tems we use in our little community!
