Hey vapers, it’s BOB—but today, I’m handing the mic to someone way more qualified to roast you: your POD. 
You know, that little device you carry in your pocket, treat like a sidekick, and low-key ignore until it dies mid-puff? Yeah, it’s got opinions. After years of listening to PODs (okay, fine, user complaints—same energy), we’ve compiled the top 5 things your POD would scream if it could talk… and yes, new vapers and pros are equally guilty. Let’s dive in (and maybe apologize to your POD later).
First: Meet Your POD—The Overworked, Underappreciated Sidekick
Let’s set the scene: Your POD starts the day fully charged, tank clean, ready to be your loyal vape buddy. By 3 PM? It’s leaking, half-dead, and wondering why it signed up for this. 
“I’m not just a tube of metal and plastic,” it’d grumble. “I’m your morning pick-me-up, your post-lunch stress reliever, your ‘I need a break’ companion. And yet… you treat me like a disposable straw. 
” Ouch. Fair.
To New Vapers: “Please, I’m Begging You—Read the Manual (Or at Least My Hints)” 
New vapers, we see you! You’re excited, you’re learning, and honestly? We love your enthusiasm. But your POD? It’s over here sending S.O.S. signals. Here’s what it’d said:
1. “You’re Drowning Me! Overfilling Is Not a Flex” 
Ever tried pouring a soda into a cup until it’s overflowing and then acting surprised when it spills? That’s you, every time you overfill my tank. Newsflash: My “max fill line” isn’t a suggestion—it’s a “please don’t turn your pocket into a fruit punch waterfall” plea. Last Tuesday, you filled me to the brim with mango juice, shook me like a maraca, and then stared in horror when juice leaked onto your phone. I tried to warn you! (The little air hole? That’s my nose—I need to breathe, too!) 
2. “Why Are You Trying to Vape Me When I’m on ‘E’? I’m Not a Miracle Worker” 
Your POD’s battery hits red, and you think, “One more hit won’t hurt!” Spoiler: It will. When I’m at 5% battery, my power’s sputtering—like a car on empty. You’ll get a weak, cold puff that tastes like disappointment, and then I’ll die dramatically in your hand. 
Save us both the trauma: Charge me when the LED turns red. I promise, I’ll be back in 30 minutes (thank you, Type-C fast charging 
).
3. “You Forgot to Close My Airflow Again… Now Your Keys Smell Like Blueberry” 
New vapers love “adjustable airflow” until they forget to close it before shoving me in their pocket. Cue: me bouncing around, airflow wide open, e-liquid sloshing like a storm in a teacup. 
Now your keys, wallet, and favorite hoodie smell like “blueberry muffin gone rogue.” Just… twist the airflow closed when you’re done? It’s one tiny twist. I’ll even make a satisfying “click” to say “thank you.” 
To Pro Vapers: “Mr. ‘I Know It All’—Spoiler: You Don’t” 
Okay, pros—you’ve got 10+ coils under your belt, you can rebuild a tank blindfolded, and you scoff at “beginner mistakes.” But your POD’s still over here side-eyeing you. Here’s its roast:
1. “You’re a Flavor Hoarder! Stop Making Me Taste Like a Smoothie of Regret” 
You think swapping flavors without cleaning the tank is “efficient”? Newsflash: Last week, you went from strawberry to menthol to tobacco in 2 hours, and now I taste like a smoothie of mango, mint, and regret. 
Ceramic coils (looking at you, GTi) remember flavors—they’re not magic erasers. A quick rinse with warm water takes 30 seconds. Your taste buds (and me) will thank you.
2. “Cranking the Wattage to 25W Isn’t ‘Optimizing’—It’s Arson” 
Mr. “I know better than the manual” over here thinks cranking my wattage to 25W (when I’m designed for 10-18W) is “optimizing.” Newsflash: I’m not a race car—I’m a 精密仪器，and you’re redlining my engine. 
High wattage = burnt coils, dry hits, and me staring at you like, “Dude, we had a good thing going.” Stick to the recommended range. Your coil (and wallet) will live longer.
3. “You Treat Me Like a Tool, Not a Partner” 
You’ve had me for 6 months, and you’ve never once checked my O-rings. 
“Why would I?” you ask. Because that tiny rubber ring keeping me leak-free? It’s starting to crack. Soon, you’ll be back to “why is my pod leaking?!” and I’ll be over here thinking, “If you’d just glanced at me once a month…” Show a little love: Wipe my contacts, check for cracks, and maybe say “thanks” when I deliver that perfect morning hit. I deserve it. 
Your POD’s Final Message: “I’m Not Mad—Just Disappointed” 
At the end of the day, your POD just wants to do its job: deliver smooth, flavorful hits without drama. Whether you’re a new vaper still learning the ropes or a pro who’s gotten a little too confident, a little care goes a long way.
Now It’s Your Turn: Which Vaper Are You? 
- Newbie: Guilty of overfilling/forgetting to charge (but trying your best!)
- Pro: Guilty of “I know better” wattage crimes/flavor hoarding
Neutral: I treat my POD like royalty (and it loves me back)
Drop your vote in the comments—and tag the friend who needs to read this (we all have one). And hey, go give your POD a gentle pat. It works hard for you. 
Specially cause I talk to my appliances on a regular - I’m now thinking that the day my vape starts answering back is when I need to get checked into a padded room
