I personally don't think we should ask her anything,we should just let it be,but on the same hand,i think its sad the way some people conduct themselves in this manner,and ruin it for people that really do need our help,it makes their chances slim to none !!!!!Very interesting. Should we allow her to explain herself or let it be? What do you think? @Whiskey
Agreed, it's unfortunate to live this way, but it's necessary to be a constant skeptic. I was leery of that one individual from the get go, I've been here from the start almost, and I just can't imagine asking for anything for free. I was very tempted to raise some questions In the initial thread, but kudos to you whiskey for passing along hardware, regardless of the truth of the situation. Really kind of you. It smelled like b.s. To me for some reason, but I'm not one to call someone out if I'm not sure of it, based on a hunch.I personally don't think we should ask her anything,we should just let it be,but on the same hand,i think its sad the way some people conduct themselves in this manner,and ruin it for people that really do need our help,it makes their chances slim to none !!!!!
Fair enough to give it up, why am I still mentioning it? Lol. I just have to say I was skeptical from the start, and a bit put off due to the complete opposite nature of my character, asking for something at all, let alone in a place you are new to. Then, the mention of bills at all, and subsequent threads about many new vaping devices and tools etc just made me skeptical. Nobody was harmed, I think whiskey was happy to help, and hopefully I'm wrong. I will eat my words if I am.I took it as, she had already been vaping and wanted to try out mech mods. Here's the original thread. She never once said she was down on her luck, only said she wanted to "try a mech". Mentioned much later in the thread about bills stacking because of a part time job, yada yada... unrelated to the mech. She has also participated in PIF. Trying to be fair here, since I see no malice in this particular situation.
im in PIF 5.0,come on over and conversate with usFair enough to give it up, why am I still mentioning it? Lol.

All I know is that it's taken me a long time to fight my tendency to trust until it is lost, rather than require it be earned. I feel it's a cold way to live, always requiring people prove themselves through action, but so often, if you trust first,the proof in action will be negative. One of the many unfortunate ways of the world.
I'll shut up now, but we all need to keep our eyes open and be aware. Seems we have vendors screwing us over more and more now, too. I really need to hop in the PIF section, too. I have some juice that's never getting vaped by me barring extreme emergency. I've been too lazy, and that's not cool, either.
You called me out... Now I gotta step my lazy ass up, lol. I'll hop on in. I know I have some quality juices that either involve menthol(vomits) or are too high of nic. Never done a PIF box, I shall come to the thread.im in PIF 5.0,come on over and conversate with us

You should see downtown Detroit...cant walk down the street without getting hit up by at least 2 beggars per block...true story...I grew up in a small town, so my first intro to homeless people was around age 14 when we took our 8th grade trip to Washington DC. This would be 1989-ish...before they cleaned up the streets.
Holy crap.
EVERYWHERE we went, the streets were lined with street beggars, and it didn't matter that we were just kids, we got panhandled just the same. Actually, we were probably bigger suckers than the adults because most of us dropped change in as many cups as we could. We had stopped somewhere along the sidewalk, and actually saw one guy fold up his little area, walk around the corner, and drive away in a very nice car.
Turns out, some of them make a damn good living on the streets. In good spots, it's easy to earn several hundred dollars per day.
We do, and look out for each other, good luck with pulling it past me...I think so. Not 100% sure.
To those pity scammers: Yes, the people of this forum do pay attention.
I see people on vape shows beg from time to time..usually for juice, but I saw one beg a host for a mod and get one....then the person begged for batteries for it as well....some time later the same person won a Provari on a show....the next day the person was begging for another mod on a show because they "needed it"...some people who saw the Provari win called the person out....shameless and pathetic...a known moocher...It's always fun to read a pity thread when it's the posters first post. Really?
I seen a person on this forum beg for a mod. It seemed like a few weeks later they were bragging about all their latest purchases.
I followed that thread too and noticed that SmokyBlue pulled back her pif shortly after some other posts were made by the person in question and then she nudged Smoky in the thread to send it out...Oh yeah, we have had our share of those here, and most members seem to be able to tell the difference between someone in real need and the moochers.
Thanks for sharing the link, those stories sound way too familiar as of lately.
I think that the issue here has more to do with how the people are asking for things, particularly people with no history on the forum/reddit. Combined with the fact that things are getting bad with scammers all over now, be it members on forums/reddit, vendors, and viewers of shows over on vapers.tv and vulive, etc...As someone who has been pifed a few things I will say in my personal situation I use these items daily and am very grateful to those who were willing to share the wealth so to speak. This thread has kinda opened my eyes a bit tho. Seems there are some people who immediately just assume that everyone's a giver, and that just because someone has like 5 mods they can spare one and some tanks whatever. I feel a little guilty now myself for having been given a mod (that I'm using now actually), but then I realize that the kindness of others will reward them in the future. Unfortunately there are always those who choose to abuse people's kindness. Those are probably the same people who live off the government but drive a brand new suv and all their kids wear affliction shirts and new Nike's. Unfortunately there are always those who abuse the system.
Can I send that as a purchase so I can file a claim if you don't follow through?Ummm btw, I'm needin' some donations for my upcoming penis reduction...
Man wotta burden this thing is.
paypal only...
Some people deserve to receive this gift.
Now this is a good one. I need one for my front door LOLHey Ray....
is that recyclable?
I second this. I think the people on here who contribute a lot can tell the difference. Also we all develop friendships and help each other out. I don't like the people who just sign up the day they ask for something.ILL GIVE VAPE STUFF TO SOMEONE I KNOW OR HAVE NOTICED A "TRUE" (FOR LACK OF BETTER WORD) MEMBER HERE. WITH ALL THE REAL TROUBLES IN THIS WORLD, THERE ARE KIDS THAT DON'T EAT, HAVE CLOTHES OR EVEN A PLACE TO LAY THEIR HEAD. SO IF IM FEELING CHARITABLE, IM GOING TO MAKE SURE ITS FOR THE BETTER OF THE HUMANTIY, NOT SOMEONE WANTING VAPE GEAR.
My sister conned me once..JUST ONCE
Yup fell for something like that once....... once
I can't help myself. Every time I see or hear "once, just once", that movie pops to mind.My sister conned me once..JUST ONCE

That stinks. My wife found it very easy to go cold turkey the moment she found out she was pregnant. Wasn't so easy to avoid them as soon as she wasn't but no questions or hesitations stopping during that time.Ive helped one co worker try to get off the cigs as shes pregnant (wasnt me)...I got her a Double kanger Evod starter kit like i started with with...The part that makes me sad is, i see with a cig more than i do with the evod kit and her offer to pay me back hasnt gone so well although i dont care really ...just wanted to give her a more healthy alternative for the 2 persons involved...One of which cant speak for themselves.
And people wonder why people are getting so guarded and "cold" nowadays.A few years ago, I gave a guy on a paintball forum a free marker, he told me his son wanted to get into the sport and he didn't have the cash to get him one. Few days later on a different forum, saw him selling it. Made me lose a little faith in humanity.
My wife did the same thing. It amazed me, i tried so many times a fell flat on my face (prior to ecigs). she quit the moment she found out about the first one, then started right back up after the birth and then with the second pregnancy she dropped them for good.That stinks.

CT is the only I have ever been able to quit, but when she finally decided to quit for good she had to use patches and it was a struggle in the beginning. It was just really weird how easy it was for her while being pregnant and then how quickly she started back up again.My wife did the same thing.

cold turkey quitting just punched me right in the face and she skated through...no fair
