E-Cigarette Forum (ECF) has been a lifesaver for me. If I had not stumbled upon this site in my research on electronic cigarettes a couple of years ago, I would probably still be smoking. As it is, thanks to all the helpful information and resources on this site, I have now been smoke-free for almost 2 years! Not only that, but I've also made several very dear friends through the conversations that have taken place here. I would recommend this site to anyone who wants to stop smoking and learn about e-cigarettes in a safe and caring environment.
After smoking a pack and a half a day for 15+ years and trying to quit, the resources, information and support I found through ECF have been nothing but amazing - have not had an 'analog' (cigarette or cigar) in 7 months.
With over 200,000 members and more than half a million discussions - a huge number of which remain current, active and ongoing - it's an amazing community... I have learned more there about the basics of electrical engineering (vis a vis vaping, battery safety, coil building and ohm's law) than I did in college physics - and I was always a 4.0 science student
Not only does the forum and the team there provide a great place for those conversations - in an adult environment - the team also offers both insight and incentive... in the past 6 months, they have partnered with a number of the major manufacturers for contests and giveaways to help encourage, enthuse and expand the ranks of folks who can now say "I don't smoke - and I feel better, will likely live longer (and better), and will get to enjoy a bit more time on this planet with my loved ones"... and that is a pearl beyond price.
Would highly recommend this site to anyone who is either 1) looking for information regarding vaping, tobacco harm reduction and/ or quitting smoking 2) looking for an exceptional community resource for vaping 3) looking for ongoing community/ support in staying tobacco free
The unconditional support I have recieved there is crazy. They are good people who council anyone who needs advice or information... They are helpful and sweet and go above and beyond their call of duity to ensure that ECF is a successful and well informed and maintained site. HOWEVER every forum has RULES and bashing them because you didn't follow the RULES and got your tail banned is rude and hateful.
I have been a member of the ECF Forum since 2012. It is not only the premier source for information on all things e-cig and vaping but it's a community. I visit there daily for information on what's new in the vaping world and to meet and greet with old friends and new that I have met from all over the world.
The wealth of information available on this forum far surpasses any other on the internet. Members are friendly and helpful and I have found the moderators to be gracious, knowledgeable and informative. This forum is a lifeline for me in every respect of vaping. I have learned how to use vaping equipment safely, which products are the right ones for me and why, which companies produce the best quality e-liquids, won high quality prizes from contests run by our generous forum sponsors, and most importantly because of the generosity and willingness of the members of this community to share their knowledge, I have been able to help others as well.
I smoked 2 packs of cigarettes a day for over 30 years. Vaping saved my life and the ECF Forum has been and is still my lifeboat. If you or someone you love smokes and you would like to quit or help someone else to quit, I encourage you to join ECF.
I smoked for 10 years. Bought a cheap little eGo battery at my local shop about 2 years ago. I was never truly happy with that set up, although it did help me quit smoking so it wasn't that big of deal.
About 6 months ago I was searching online for mods and RBA's and I came across E-cigarette Forum. It is the single best search result I have ever gotten. I have not only learned so much in these past months, but I have met some of the warmest, most compassionate people ever.
I have never felt ashamed of not knowing something and being to scared to ask some one in this forum as I have at my local stores. They will help you until you have complete understanding. Everyone on here is so knowledgeable and helpful.
It is also the absolute best place to connect with people who are so passionate about anything e-ciggarette related. I try to get on the forum everyday at least once, because I love it so much.
If you need help with anything e-cig related, or you are curious to see what it's about before quitting or are just lonley and don't have anyone to talk to about mods, this is the most well rounded place to find out anything you ever wanted to know about vaporizers. I guarantee it will change your life as much as it's changed mine.
ECF is my virtual home and "family"! Its a part of my daily life for a reason - the people there have been helpful and we come together like a family!
Need help staying away from cigarettes? Youll find it on ECF. Need help working out a DIY juice? Youll find that too! Just starting building coils or are a master builder? There is someone there to help and/or give feedback to you! Having a bad day and just need a friend? You guessed it, you'll find it on ECF!
With so many people and so many topics I am in constant awe of how well the site runs and how much attention the moderators give to making sure it stays a well rounded site.
I am on other vaping forums and they are ok but the rules are fast and loose on those sites and they are far from "family friendly". As I help other smokers to become vapers I love being able to send ANYONE to ECF... even the highly conservative older ladies of the church can feel "at home" and safe on ECF and I love that!
Come see what a great forum and community ECF is for yourself!
Very informative site super helpfull needed to know the difference between a mod and standard cape so I read a thread that helped explain
I never knew there was such a large community of vaping enthusiasts until I stumbled across e-cigarette-forum.
There are incredible amounts of information available, as well as discussion just about every topic imaginable (and some unimaginable.) I've managed to find great assistance, whenever I have encountered questions or problems. The vast majority of users are exceptionally kind and helpful. I have always found the moderators to be helpful, too.
As with any grouping of "more than one person", there are those who apparently deem it necessary to invoke their beliefs as "I am the only one who is right, and the rest of you suck." I ventured into a number of threads where the discussion was, IMO, getting a little heated. So, I just left the thread.
All I want from a site such as E-Cigarette-Forum is a place to chat with others who, like myself, use vaping gear to NO LONGER SMOKE CIGARETTES. I understand that this has become a hobby, a fad, a fashion statement. That's fine - you vape the way you want, and I'll vape the way I want. ONLY if I'm attempting something dangerous, TEACH me to be safe. Otherwise, don't tell me I'm being stupid.
The E-Cigarette-Forum has done just that. Hundreds upon hundreds of kind, knowledgeable people post results of testing of equipment. They offer suggestions of how to fix things if something isn't working as expected. They share pictures of coil builds and mods and tanks - to ENHANCE my skills and comfort level with the equipment I own.
The E-Cigarette-Forum has been offering some amazing contests this past year, with the help of a number of prominent suppliers and vendors. I've made new friends, learned how to maintain and customize my equipment and juices, and most importantly, I QUIT SMOKING over 19 months ago.
If you need to know anything about vaping, E-cigarette-forum is my recommended place to hang out.
Thanks to ECF, I have managed to finally quit smoking cigarettes after 30+ years. The people there, ESPECIALLY the moderators, are kind, informative, and willing to answer any questions no matter how strange the question (and I've asked a few of the strange ones). ECF isn't just a forum, it's a family willing to help each other.
Until I stumbled on this forum I had NO idea of what to do, what I might need, or even where to start. Thanks to the knowledgeable, wonderful people here, they pointed me in the right direction. When my interests branched into making my own liquids, I was able to reach out to anyone to ask questions about what I might be doing wrong and promptly got replies back with helpful information from people around the world!
I have noticed that there is a negative reply... Obviously the person chose not to read the site's TOS and all of the other rules and regulations. They are clearly posted everywhere on the site. The moderators do a fantastic job of keeping up with what is going on... and that can not be an easy job considering the thousands of us that there are. Personally, I thank the moderators for doing what they do... they make my time on the forum fun, harassment free, and comfortable.
If you are considering vaping (or already do!), you should seriously come and join us at ECF. I was a "lurker" for awhile before I joined... I really wish I would have joined sooner! You can browse all over the net, and you will not find a better place for a source of fantastic information and very caring people. Just be prepared to make a lot of new friends! If you do come and visit, feel free to send me a message--my name on the forum is Kodak!
If you're looking for the BEST...
ECF is THE place to be.
This is an electronic cigarette forum, in a class of its own. Not only is it packed with information from vapers for vapers, but also welcomes the current smoker who is looking to decide whether vaping just might work.
It does, just by the way.;)
There truly is only ONE viable source of valuable information for vapers looking to have ALL their questions answered. ECF suits the beginning vaper, the intermediate or moderate user, and also the hobbyist or advanced vaper. And EVERYONE is welcome, no matter their experience level. There simply is no other site that offers up the quality and quantity of information. Add to that, it is easy to navigate! (unlike certain bookface sites);)
People join an e-cig forum looking for answers to their many questions about vaping. People choose ECF over other forums because it offers them those answers, and gives SO much more. It's an incredibly friendly forum, and one of the by-products of membership is the forming of friendships that for so many of us have become cherished and dear. It holds itself up to high standards and prides itself on being a family friendly place. If one has ever entered into the world of "gutter forums", ECF shines brightly, and remains a beacon, and a breath of fresh air in contrast.
There is one negative review among all these positive ones. I find the reviewer to be quite angry about his experience, and it is sad to see a person lash out at a truly great forum simply because he himself made a mistake and in return, got "slapped" for it. It is equally sad to chastise the people who moderate the forum. Perhaps that reviewer would be better served by a different type of forum that is lawless, lewd, and lacks maturity of thought.
Forum moderation is a thankless job, and it is clearly done for our benefit. So, I say, THANK YOU. And particularly to SmokeyJoe (Oliver K), who had the insight to create this most marvelous Forum.
Come join us. Give it a whirl. Feel free to contact me any time you like!
