I didn't say all eBay was bad but that an increasing number are and as I also said the reputable guys have other ways to order from them torchy encourages it by highlighting the discount you get not using eBay. I love eBay for a lot of stuff but right now in relation to vaping gear it's risky for a lot of people who have tight budgets and see the supposedly same product from two different people but one is a few\couple of quid cheaper they get suckered in by gits. Also eBay itself seems to be having problems in relation to how it handles vaping products with three different policy's in three different areas (UK, USA and China) and bad sellers are falling through the cracks. I'm anal about safety more so in regard to new user's so I weigh my comments in forums with that in mind experienced vapers don't need my advice or caution they have long since sorted out their preferred suppliers and by and large know what to look for.
Recently I started helping someone with basics and they have taken that help and proceeded to rush headlong into high wattage sub ohming without doing any of the research I said about battery safety and ohms law despite saying they have. I know they haven't because of forum posts they are putting up asking about stuff they would know if they had done it and it has got me worried. I like this forum because by and large the emphasis is on safe vaping and its a good group of people that don't just answer any question but consider the user first. Other forums are not doing that I see people telling people just getting into vaping to buy mechs and drippers and gushing about how great and easy sub ohming is usually they are the same people that jump down the throat of anyone that talks of having a close call with a mech.
I may be overly cautious and play it too safe but I prefer that and don't want or mean to upset or offend anyone.
