My Saber Story...

Ok guys and gals, here goes...

I was almost a pack a day smoker up to the end of last year. A buddy of mine was a "part-time smoker" only when he was drinking. So if he wasn't drinking and we were hanging out he always complained about how I smelled. He said that I should try an electronic cigarette. I'd heard about them, but had never tried one so I was obviously skeptical. I tried his eGo and it was aight, but nothing to write home about.

A couple of weeks later I went with him to a gun show here in town. There seems to be a gun show just about every weekend since I live in Texas (for now...soon to be Hawaii!!) and we all "love God and our guns" here. lol Luckily for me there was a booth at the show that was selling e-cigs. I tried it again, and was tired of his ....*ing so I spent almost $90 on, what I now know was, a silly little auto 510 and a 10mil bottle of juice. The lady running the booth was very informative and it was from the info that she gave me that I decided that from that point on I knew that I would never go back to analogs!

I started to do the research. I read everything I could find (yes I am that big of a nerd!!) online and anytime I saw someone with an e-cig I would talk with them about it. It was only a couple of weeks after my impulse purchase of the "baby one" as I like to think of her now, before I bought an eGo T. The really cool thing was that in the mean time I was able to get my wife (ie...The Boss) on board with e-cigs.

The eGo T came in and WE LOVED IT...at first. It was a HUGE step up from what we were using before! So I kept on researching, reading and talking with people. It came up often that "mods are the way to go for the best experience." So, in my nerdy awesomeness, I started researching. Box Mods, Tube Mods, Big Mods, Tiny Mods, Concealable Mods, Flashy Mods, Battery options, Charger options, Atomizers, Cartomizers, Tanks, Drip Tips....AAAAAHHHHHHH!!!! I was lost in the world of vaping.

So the nerd in me kept researching, after a copious number of adult beverages! Days passed and it was now down to just a handful of mods. I knew that I didn't want a box mod (at least for my first), and I wanted something that would do what it was supposed to do with very few issues as well as look NICE. My wife and I live a very simple lifestyle, but when we get something...we get the best! So, we might not have as many "toys" as other people, but what we have is more or less top of the line!!

So after more research, and finding ECF, I found a "vape shop" as my wife likes to call it. We were finally able to talk with someone face to face about what vaping is all about. (We would have talked with my buddy who introduced me to e-cigs, but at this point I knew more about them than he did!) I got a bottle of juice from them, which is still going, but still not what we are looking for. So, I have started to get into DIY juices (I've been told I'm a good cook and I don't really see much of a difference between that and making my own juices). Sorry...I got a little off track (insert adult beverage)! We were able to try one of the mods I was considering, and it ROCKED!!!! It was night and day from the eGo T (we had also in the mean time purchased an eGo C since you now know I am a nerd, and replacing a $5 atomizer is WAY cheaper than a $15 eGo T atomizer...with the same benefit of the tank.)

So I was sold on the mod thing! Now...do I want something that everyone else has, or do I want something that says, "The Wolfman?" I could have purchased the one that I tried, and to be honest I probably would have enjoyed the experience. But, as I mentioned before, when I want something it has to be the best! So, the decision was made!

That same night, Sir Lawrence made the post for the possibility of a free ST. I jumped on that like a duck on a June Bug!! The whole time I was convincing my wife that we should spend the extra money on a "cigarette". So I entered my "dream saber" and was SUPER stoked. I was going to get an awesome vaping experience FOR FREE! Then all of the other entries started happening, and Sir Lawrence had some health issues. (I really hope that you are feeling better SL!!!). The...contest...dragged...on...and...on. (which is understandable under the circumstances!!!) I didn't want to place an order with the possibility of my "Dream Saber" being just sent to me! So I waited...did more research...talked w/more people...convinced "The Boss"...convinced my Brother-In-Law...and wouldn't tell my buddy what I was doing until I got mine so he would be jealous (I know...I'm a bad friend, but he said something about my mom!! lol...Love ya John!)

So the night finally came when the winner was going to be chosen. And needless to say...It wasn't me! I did get over that really quickly because about 15 mins after the winner was chosen, congrats again Par292!!!, I placed my order. Not only did I place mine, but my brother-in-law placed his, too. Apparently we are among "over 200" others.

So this brings us to right now. I have been dreaming about my Custom (5v reg, Dormant Blue, w/Racing Stripes, HP, Brass End Caps w/drip well, No Threads) just about every night! I can't wait for it to get here (SL...Take your time brotha!! I'll be around when it gets here! You just take your time and make everyone else's dreams come true until it is my turn...then WORK YOUR MAGIC!!)!!!

I will, of course, post pics when she comes in and then I want pics of YOUR tears when she is prettier than yours (lol)! And that is my Saber Story...
