How Should Beginners Choose E-Liquid?
It’s common to see customers anxiously sitting in front of a wall of e-liquids, struggling with the shopping experience: whether to buy or not to buy, whether to quit smoking or not, what device to choose, what flavor to pick—fruit or tobacco—and even how
Often meet guests anxiously sitting in front of the wall of oils, alone to bear the tangled shopping experience: to buy or not to buy (to quit or not to quit), to buy what equipment (regulator box or mechanical rod), to buy which kind of oil (fruit or tobacco), how to pay (cash, Alipay or WeChat), and even, do you need to shopping bags.
As a Sartre under the door of the loyal tortoise grandson, I have always believed in existentialism that set of bullshit choice dilemma theory, people are free, people's actions and choices should be free. However, at the same time, as an e-cigarette store owner, but also have to provide customers with a variety of well-intentioned choice advice. The two identities add up to a particularly paradoxical situation. Obviously, as an 'Other', unwilling to become the guest's 'Other Hell', reticence and self-control in order to allow the guest to choose a bottle of tobacco oil very existentialist. But as a professional service industry senior practitioners, to provide advice is a basic ethical, reticent, self-control, not a word, will appear to be particularly amateur.
To advise or not to advise, this question is particularly non-existentialist.
My answer is not to give, which is enough 'existential'.
The question of whether to give or not to give advice is particularly non-existential.
At one point, I just couldn't help but ask a guest A, who had silently tried 20 or 30 kinds of tobacco oil, why he was so entangled in choosing tobacco oil?
A said: "I like to smoke W brand cigarettes.
A said: I like to smoke W brand of tobacco flavor, but online testing said W brand of popping beads of tobacco oil is better, really do not know to take that kind.
I'm not sure what kind of oil to take.
I answered casually: these two oils are good, why don't you try this wooden box of mint tobacco.
I'm not sure if you're going to be able to get the best out of it.
Finished feeling particularly stupid, "goodwill" for the originally very entangled A provides a more "malicious" choice surface. In order to make up for the fault, immediately made up a sentence: of course, or according to your own taste to buy …….
A sighed: Alas, I bought a tobacco flavor, I can not smoke popping beads tobacco flavor, if smoking a few days, the original flavor of tobacco is not good to smoke how to do?
The first time I saw this was when I was a kid, and it was a very good time for me.
In order to avoid giving A more well-intentioned and useless advice, I can only say: of course, or according to your own taste to buy…… ;  s
Thanks to party policy Yakshi, you'll hardly find any other era that offers such a wealth of choice, but there's also never been an era that required so much anxiety over choice. With the purchase of tobacco oil a reason, you may have been wearing flat underpants or triangular underpants and sleep and eat, may be in the selection of hot pot base when entangled in the slightly spicy or medium spicy, may be for the ride Mobay or OFO have done a fierce ideological struggle & hellip; … … Obviously, Sartre's philosophy to speak a special round, but the reality of the dilemma is an unexpected rip-off.
So why is it that when we have more freedom to choose a tobacco oil, the harder it is to freely choose a bottle?
The Other Hell
"The biggest culprits in the choice dilemma are 'I heard from my friends that XXX', 'I heard from the test that XXX', and 'This oil is a nettlesome one'. Fromm's "Escape from Freedom" says that people actually tend to escape from the freedom of the animal, the individual freedom of the people are more likely to be tired of freedom, in the emotional tendency to depend on the community, the so-called "can not bear the lightness of the freedom of the" that is the case. In my understanding, this statement can be regarded as a psychological extension of 'others are hell'. The fact is that people are born free, that is, they have the freedom of choice, but when I am concerned by others, or when I communicate with others, the subject of me has become the object of me, and the other has become the subject of my eyes, and the original "my world" built up by my gaze has collapsed.
The other becomes the subject in my eyes.
This explanation sounds awkward, but in human terms it is:
The world of me is not a world of the world.
If you buy tobacco oil quietly and quietly, alone, without the influence of any crowd testing, do not listen to the business advice, you can be free and high spirits to choose a tobacco oil in line with the judgment of the taste at the time. However, once you have read the crowd test, you are bound to be influenced by the crowd test and doubt your own sense of taste. For example, if you can't taste the white peach flavor of One Night Stand, but the crowd test says it's refreshing, you'll doubt your own sense of taste, doubt your correctness as a minority, and turn a simple shopping choice into a negative introspection. Similarly, once standing next to the boss child watching me buy oil, you will unconsciously tend to ask him, weighing the advice, into anxiety.
Earlier, a pushy customer asked me, mimicking Camus, would you choose to kill yourself or switch to a different type of tobacco oil?
Oh, I know shit.
I don't know shit.
It's too hard to avoid being constrained when choosing a dilemma, in my personal experience. The only thing you can do is to make sure that the outcome is not as important as who is choosing, regardless of whether it's suicide or a different oil.
In response, as a responsible existentialist tortoise, the only chicken-soup warming advice is:
Be a chooser, don't be a picker, pick up the pieces.
The only thing that I can say is that I'm not a picker, and I'm not a picker.
Opportunity Cost
In addition to the influence of others, aversion and fear of loss of opportunity cost is a secondary cause of choice anxiety. The so-called loss of opportunity cost is when you choose a cool flavor cigarette oil means giving up room temperature cigarette oil, choose tea flavor cigarette oil means giving up compound fruit flavor cigarette oil, choose lemon flavor cigarette oil means giving up strawberry flavor cigarette oil.
In the face of the rich choice surface, people will have higher and higher expectations for the results, when you spend an hour to try dozens of kinds of tobacco oil, and finally purchased a bottle of W brand of original tobacco tobacco oil, you feel completely OJBK, but you look back and think, this choice may not be as perfect as when you decide. Because there are more choices, your expectations of how good a bottle of tobacco oil 'really has to be to be considered good' are infinitely raised. When there is only one oil to choose from, your expectations are low. But when a hundred oils are in front of you, you may feel that you're giving up ninety-nine other good possibilities because of a bottle of W's Original Tobacco Tobacco Oil. From time to time, you get hung up on the fact that 'something better might have existed' in the choice that was given up, and feel that you paid a greater opportunity cost. "The final choice was okay, but it could have been better," the question mark often flashes by, and the more you think about it, the more you get tangled up in it.
Compared to the previous cause, the solution to the anxiety caused by the loss of opportunity cost is actually very simple.
The first one is the one with the most important problem: the loss of opportunity cost.
Two suggestions that are also as warm as chicken soup:
The first is to be a satisfied person, the second is to be a satisfied person.
One is to be a satisfier, and the other is to figure out that time is the biggest opportunity cost. The difference in flavors is far less significant than the time wasted trying to decide between plain and popped tobacco.
Of course, the last two items are almost negligible if you can fulfill the following conditions, that is:
