Salutations!

Since a few of you asked, I'll try and summarize my vaping journey in a nutshell. I started with some 510 batts and eGo clone from my local vendor Volcano ecigs. I got the Magma kit and Inferno Tank kit. I dabbled with dripping, but was using cartos, clearos, and the tank systems mostly for the convenience factor. I quickly outgrew them and moved up to a Kalamazoo Vapor Shop Jambox and BigKaZoo. I stopped using my Volcano hardware and relegated them to backup duty. When I used up my cartos and clearos, I discovered the beauty of dripping with lowres atty's and HV vaping with my BigKaZoo with 2.5 atty's. I picked up a Triple V from KVS the following month. When I hit my 0.5 year Vaperversary, I decided that I'd treat myself to a VV voltage mod a la the ProVari, but ended up getting a Darwin as well. I've been using my Darwin for the past week as my main PV for my tobacco flavored vapes, but still use my BigKazoo and Triple V when I want to switch to fruity and tea flavors. I'm still waiting for my ProVari. It was supposed to be a week lead time (ordered 9/30/11). Since switching to a proper mod, I have been dripping primarily, but on rare occasion use a clearo. I mainly use 510 attys, but switch every so often to 306's. I prefer the 510 connection because I can't live without my drip shields (except when I use my Triple V. Yay drip well!) I haven't tried a 901 yet, but ordered a couple from ProVape. I'm waiting for IkenVape to get back online and will order more 901's from him.

What is my favorite flavor? I don't have a favorite per se, but I'm primarily a tobacco vaper and will mix in a bit of tea and fruit vapes here and there. My favorites flavors that remain in my daily rotation are Boba's Bounty and Gorilla Juice from Alien Visions E-juice, and Bounty Hunter from Nitelite Vapor. Every so often, I'll do a couple rounds of OMFG and Caramel Tobacco from Kalamazoo Vapor Shop. For my teas and fruity vapes, I go to Rawr Vapor (Mike's tobaccos are pretty decent as well) - Proper Green Tea, Earl Grey ...., Hawaii Sunrise and Truth Serum. They are all great straight up, but when 4% mentholated, they come to life.

I'd like to try more liquids and new vendors, but have slowed down with my juice buying and try to use up what I have before re-ordering. I've PIF'd a lot of my juices and gear that I didn't care for or fell out of love with to friends who I've managed to convert to vaping. I've also PIF'd to friends I've made through Twitter.

I have become enamored by the vaping community as a whole. I've never felt so welcomed by any community be it online or in real life. During my 6 months of vaping, I've met people from all walks of life, from different places from across the globe. The instant affinity I have to all of these wonderful people along with their willingness and openness to share their knowledge, experience, gear and anything vaping related never ceases to amaze me. The vaping community has been a strong source of inspiration and fellowship during my transition from smoking to vaping lifestyle. I endeavor to do the same, to give back and share my experience both here on the web and in real life.
