Not new but decided to give up lurking

[dmwalker24]

Hello ECF! I first joined the forum way back in 2012 when I first started vaping. I was looking for answers to all the new vaper questions. This forum has been a valuable resource ever since. I've quit and started and quit quite a few times in the last 3 years, but now I'm off the smokes and I think it's a good time to start posting. My current go to vape setups are either an eleaf 50w or a Nemesis topped with a kayfun, Subtank, or the UD Goblin. I've been rebuilding for about 2 years now.

Hopefully the things I've learned can be of use to the community. I'm looking forward to being a more active participant.

I'm off the smokes---Now if only we can get more folks to see the light of day.
Welcome, enjoy.
Happy vaping.

Hello dmwalker24. Glad to have you here and vaping sounds like you have a nice setup there. I started on the kayfun then moved on to the lemo. Still like my kfun tho

Hello and welcome to the forum dmwalker24. Glad to have you here!

 

[dmwalker24]

Thanks all for the replies!

I'll probably always have a Kayfun or 3 hanging around opticruby, but I really want to get a lemo/lemo2.

I hear you BrotherBob. I'm trying to get my wife off the coffin nails. Both for her health and because it's so much fun trying to stay quit while living with a smoker!

Lemo's are nice tanks (I use them for out and about mostly),I think you'll like them if you like the kayfun (and I think everyone loves kayfun's).

Welcome (back) dmwalker! Congrats. Make yourself at home. I hope Mrs. dmwalker sees the benefits of vaping over smoking. I'm a little over a year smoke-free now, and I can't believe it!

Agree with you on that. This site is awesome cuz it has knowledgeable people interested in vaping, that like to talk about vaping. I don't have too many people around physically that enjoy talking about it. Am new to the site and it is one of my go tos for info and assistance. Really appreciate this site as I am new to advanced vaping (building coils, experimenting with different mechs). Wonder if there is a need for vape school? This site would be the curriculum!

I couldn't agree more. I actually worry a bit about brand new vapers running out and grabbing a dual 18650 unregulated box mod, slapping some of these new 0.2 ohm coil heads on there with the cheapest batteries their local B&M had, and burning their house down. Even people rebuilding or using hybrid mods without ever having been made aware of the DIY do's and don'ts. There's also the public/government backlash against 'dangerous' products to consider.

I know where you're coming from about having other vapers to talk to. My wife is moderately interested in vaping, but not at all interested in new gear/rebuilding.

That's funny, my fiancé is the same way. She will act interested when I buy a new device cuz she can tell I'm excited about it but loses interest very quickly. I got her a sigelei zmax mini with a kanger aerotank mini after she got used to her evod w/ protank 3 setup. She does enjoy that thing, and prefers it over my kanger subtank, rdas and rba.

I can't imagine not doing extensive research before jumping into vaping on anything. I was honestly a little scared of unregulated devices at first, but research and usage really got me comfortable with them. They were so damn attractive though, compared to my little 1100 MaH EVOD battery, I knew I would be vaping on them soon enough. Currently vaping on the sigelei little white 26650 mech with a bug buddha evil eye rba/rta by EHPro. Dual "parallel" coils coming in at .47 ohm. This thing is a beast.

Nice setup. I just recently got into doing dual coil builds after getting my Goblin. I'm running a very mundane 26ga build reading ~0.6. It's a whole different animal. I'm still getting used to how duals handle power.

I think I may finally be getting my wife a bit more interested since I rebuilt a kayfun lite and filled it with her favorite liquid. I think she honestly felt she was getting quality flavor from things like iClear10's. Little by little I'm getting her to see just how much better it can be. I guess being the oncall Kayfun rebuilder is a small price to pay if I can get her off the smokes.
