We all hang around here long enough to develop a few opinions that go against the grain — the stuff you’d maybe keep quiet at a vape meet because half the room would disagree.
So let’s hear them. The hotter the take, the better. I’ll go first with a few of mine:
1. Massive clouds are pointless for 90% of people. Big sub-ohm cloud setups look impressive but most ex-smokers would be happier, healthier on their wallet, and more satisfied with a simple MTL pod and nic salts. The cloud-chasing era oversold people on hardware they never needed.
2. Most “my coil tastes burnt” problems are user error, not bad coils. Nine times out of ten it’s priming, wattage, or chain-vaping — not a duff coil. People blame the product way too fast.
3. Expensive juice usually isn’t worth it. Past a certain point you’re paying for branding and bottle design, not flavour. Plenty of cheap juices outperform the premium stuff.
4. Disposables being banned is a good thing — even though I get why people are annoyed. The waste was indefensible and the running cost was robbing people blind. Refillables are cheaper and better anyway.
5. “Vaper’s tongue” is real and it’s almost always self-inflicted from hammering one flavour non-stop. Rotate your juices and half the “this flavour died” complaints disappear.
Right, that’s me out on a limb. What’s your unpopular vaping opinion? Agree, disagree, or pile on — let’s hear the takes you don’t normally say out loud.

I don’t get the POINT of a disposable! However, the kid that mows our lawn is 16 and the 2 kids that clean our house are 17 and 18 and they use what they claim are disposables.
I checked one out. From what I can see, the only thing that gets tossed are the cartridges that hold the juice. The part that holds the battery and what not aren’t tossed from what I can see. Would I be correct in assuming the coil in the device can’t be replaced, and THEN it gets tossed?
In either case, you’re right, big fat waste of money. Why would they NOT use a pod?
Now, I asked them where they get the devices and the 16 year old said his mother buys them for him and the older 2 (Boy and girlfriend) said there’s a smoke shop in a nearby city that doesn’t check ID’s and they thought everyone knew that.
They wouldn’t tell me, as I suspect they know I’d call the authorities. They all like what I consider to be the nasty flavors. We can’t say, “thanks to the kids, adults wanting to quit smoking can’t get flavors WE like!” We must declare the fault is due to adults.
Perhaps some adult could buy their kids nicotine free juices. Mayhap stores could encourage everyone to reduce the nic to zero.
Now THIS will be an unpopular opinion! I mentioned it to @OldGoat and he acted like I stabbed him in the back 
I find RDA’s to be of no value to me. I tried using one to test my flavors to see if they’re any good. As none of them are, all I do is re-wick. There, I said it! I’d rather toss a dozen refillable pods. I bought cotton that was recommended by several people and it’s too thick. I can’t pull it through without bending the coils. If I try to thin out the cotton, it’s always too skinny.
I don’t chain vape, but I don’t cotton the idea of dripping all the time. Mayhap if I can make a flavorful juice some day I might consider a rebuild-able tank…
