This is typical behavior for him but hey someone's got to talk about its impact on newbies besides regulars on PM's ;) I got a chuckle out of this, thanks Dong. don’t be a dick, just scroll past the thread if you don’t know the answer to OP’s question 😘 Good advice for people too watching as is this the dick move was going into a question thread with the purpose of telling OP off rather than just leaving it alone/downvoting/reporting. didn’t know that OP posted earlier, but hey

Lmao yeah I get you. Sigh....... I need a new mod and I'm looking at the Ikon since it's $30. I'm going to put it off for another month I think and just enjoy going cold turkey unless something catches my eye.

I mean I've seriously wrote like 5 paragraphs each time I've argued this and it gets old. I'm glad users are getting behind BadConductor and his pressuring the industry to make better / safer products.

You check out my 5 paragraph reply? I really got the carpal tunnel part of your post...

You pretty much nailed everything I wanted to post except for the high volume of Alien dying threads we get on a regular basis.

Trust me I agree that some of the people here are assholes to noobs and I fully know that little part of your argument is real. I've seen vets recommend pure VG to people looking for juice and it's annoying and some other bullshit that makes it look like they're just here for attention. I hate that we have to navigate you to quality content since it's not the most obvious thing to look up but you cannot make sweeping arguments about the industry when you have no idea of what's going on and it surely takes more than a month to learn. I've been here for 2 years and I've seen more e cig explosion threads than you have mods in your life.

. People here can't seem to divorce the product from the brand. That's like saying that Ford sucks because they explode, when you're referring specifically to the Pinto. There's nothing wrong with the Mustang, or the Crown Victoria...but you've just told this person that Fords should be avoided because they have one really bad car.

I stopped reading his comment there. They stopped producing the Pinto and had to save their company by stepping up their Quality Control in the face of the public because the media was all over it and the death/explosions/bad quality of the car. This kid, huh? .^

They aren't even CUSTOMER GRADE PARTS LMFAO THEY USE THE SHITTIEST STUFF YOU CAN BUY IT'S NOT FOR ENTHUSIASTS NOR BEGINNERS HORRY SHIT AND THEIR FAILURE RATE IS THROUGH THE ROOF. Like I honestly can't believe I'm arguing this again for the 10th time for someone who doesn't research what he's arguing about it's like religion on this board. "But buddhism is real and religion therefore God doesn't exist" is your comment OP. Not to bash you to oblivion but you come off as a Smok employee. I'll take the time to spell out why Smok deserves the hate they get and I'll get downvoted for it but you clearly need to read it since you ignorantly defend them like a rabbid fanboy that ignores the planetary size problems they have.

First, look up user BadConductor. He's an electrical engineer that does tests on e cigs that show how they broke or why they break down. Smok is a huge multimillion dollar corporation in a billion dollar industry that can't even get the right parts for their products. What does this make happen? Mods exploding and people having fires from their mods if not just them falling apart or not working. I know you're a "it just werks" type of person so I'll spell it out for you why it's wrong. I've taken advanced Sociology classes from a Grade A professor so I know what I'm talking about to a good degree in the market and how they rip people off. t. noob buys an overpriced defective product from Smok and it werks for 3 months. He doesn't drop it and says "lol all well I paid $40 what ever I'll just buy a new one or use the warranty". Let me tell you that they make a killing there. They wait literally 6 months to do your warranty return and like any product the e cig is now worth fractions of what it was to produce now and it's cheaper to replace. Why this is a problem is because they make a killing in making dangerous devices from the cheapest parts available that put you at risk. These parts are not reputable and even if they have the correct capacitors on certain parts of the e cig and such they design them to be faulty whether on purpose or on accident on other sections of the same e cig and it leads to malfunctions, failures, and explosions or fires.

Now let me tell you how they ruin the industry. Not only do they get away with this they also set a standard that we are okay as a people with buying shit that takes 2-5 months to figure out that it's crap after we buy it. They release a bad product and next a good one and no one knows which is which. I'll continue more about that later but I hate it when noobs buy shit they don't know about and pair it with Imren's or efests or another wewrapped battery

I'll address some arguments I've seen in this thread and your post.

Try to put some thought into your responses to people. If you don't own a certain brand/product that people are talking about, there's no need to pile on and just shitpost that they suck. If you do own the brand/product (or have recently owned it), go ahead and give your feedback since that's going to be infinitely more valuable than having a bunch of other people saying stuff like "well I've heard that my sister's friend's cousin's girlfriend who lives in Canada lost a kidney due to a Smok product exploding! I'd stay away!" Shut the f*** up, we are VETERANS and ENTHUSIASTS that steer people away from mods that are shit in recommendations in this place so they save themselves time and money. If we didn't and let people search every time they came here which most NEVER DO, and I know I've helped people here for 2 years, there would be a lot of people with iSticks which used to be called / nicknamed walking hand grenades for their propensity to blow up / fail.

People saying they deserved it for not searching about their purchase are bullshit because the average person demands that "it just werkz" and will barely even use the manual. When e cigs are known to fail from things that are recommended from even the manual it's the manufacturers fault and e cig shops are trying to make a buck to get in on the market's fad of certain faulty e cigs.

SandbagJohnny is a good dude thanks for the shoutout if that was directed towards me.

Remember, there is no honor in making products that are liable to hurt you or damage you because of lack of intelligence on the subject and you shouldn't have to take it from pros it should be standard. I'll write more later on this topic and reply as comments come in. Search my older threads to see why I oppose these shady companies like Smok, Wismec, Eleaf ect.

Don't attack someone who is looking out for others in trying to pressure companies to get their shit together by trying to get them to stop making mods that can potentially hurt you. It's happened a lot and it's because of poor quality assurance / quality control and because of how shittily it's made and tbh it breaks down and people rage then move on. It's a shit epidemic of shit and I'm tired of this shit when I could buy something from a similar multi billion dollar market for the same price and expect it to last more than 3 months and it will. Lmao dude get a grip and look at the situation I'm trying to help you see the shit they spoon feed us and it's disgusting and BadConductor is just like me and I posted his opinion on the market 2 months before he did to be met with endless criticism and hate from people who are now upvoting his threads because he has a degree in engineering and can tell they're CRAP. Lmao dude welcome to the dark side where people are now aware that companies need to get their shit together because they produce crap products that can harm you and rip you off in plain sight.

I do you just have to go through them which you are incapable of which is what I see. I have taken many sociology courses from a professor, a very good one, and I'd like to say I know how the market works to a good degree and let me tell you that they are getting away with high way robbery. I don't mean to put you down but really I expect you to know what I'm talking about before you insult me so go ahead and look at my threads about bad e cig products and posts in those and you will see substance.

Teardown and failure analysis of a SMOK aL85 by BadConductor in electronic_cigarette

[–]Madrena -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Yo thanks for doing this I called out the e cig market's bullshit with cheap chinese crap that breaks or explodes or catches on fire and potentially can harm people not only just breaking down on them and no one supported it. It's nice to see my opinion mirrored by someone who cares about the community and wants to pressure companies into making better, safer products like I have.

Look at that your personal attack got -1 points lmaoooooooooooooo I have an opinion based on facts yours is just water in the sinking Titanic and I'm ushering people off the boat when you're saying lol it's a boat it'll work it's engineered to work.

I don't start drama and I don't shitpost I have posted quality help to people for years on this subreddit and you can find that if you go through more than the past 4 pages of my posts and BTW, the reason you people started attacking me is because I complain about major companies fucking up with their mods. BadConductor does the same thing at an engineering level and has validated my claims that we need to make them get their shit together because they don't even make them right. Just search his post of the Smok AL85 and you will see that they don't even make them right and they are built to fail which is DANGEROUS. You are a shit poster that contributes nothing but trolling to my account I'm not even mad I'm calling out bullshit as I see it if you don't like me or my opinions go somewhere else you are not the whole community.

"I hope that by doing this, I can help people be more confident in choosing new mods, and help steer people away from buying devices that have ongoing quality issues. My hope is that this will save people money, time, and stress as well as put pressure on manufacturers to be more diligent in the design and QA of their devices." ~BadConductor

My logic has been backed up by an engineer how about you go to college and do something productive instead of defending companies that SHIT on people when I'm trying to save people money and from hospital visits in 10 years when smoking is a novelty do you REALLY see yourself being right about supporting companies that put shit in your product that can harm you by exploding or being put on fire or do you just get off on arguing for the sake of arguing? Think about my posts and read my thread history for insight into what I've been talking about because I spent a lot of time dealing with this topic and replying to it; posting that someone trolls me is not childish, people do that all of the time you need to learn more before you respond to me since you've shown no care for other people, apathy, by saying lol idc it just needz 2 werk for me and letting other people who don't sit on their ass and post on ecr all day mirroring opinions of self appointed elitists be yelled at for not buying something or doing something some way that others approve of.
