Nice! I'm from South GA, currently living in the desert of SoCalI'm from Destin, FL... currently living in the boonies of KY.
I homeschool our 12 yr old. Have been since he was in third grade, he's in the 8th grade now.Nice!
my condolences on the soon to be teens... lmao mine are adult now thank gods! especially since the oldest is a ginger too lmao.
Wow... it's amazing that three people in this one little thread are homeschoolers. So awesome. We are a rapidly growing group!
I feel like my son will not get the proper education he deserves in our local schools. When we first moved to the desert, we let him go to school for the first three days, the level of incompetence was overwhelming! Technically he should be in the 5th grade because of his birthday being in Oct, but he was able to skip the 4th and 6th grade.
I have two boys -- one is 10, the other is 19. We started 3 years ago -- my 19 year old was way behind. Terrible school. We took our time the first year or so, getting the system out of their systems and finding our teaching/learning style. It's been a really cool experience. People think I've done something wrong because my 19 year old "should have" graduated by now, but he is going to be infinitely better off and more ready than he would have been on their time table. We're getting ready to take some SAT Subject tests and AP exams. It's liberating to get off the conveyor belt and realize it's okay to do it differently!
I didn't realize how far behind my older son was until we really sat down and started trying to figure out where he was with math. He really didn't have a good enough grasp on anything that he had passed through! They just don't care. They just kept passing him on through because he could do the bare minimum. He is super-smart, but he lacked self-motivation and didn't care enough at the time to speak up when he needed help. So we started back at middle-school math when he was supposed to be 10th grade. Most of it is review, but it turns out math isn't a hard subject for him at all! -- He just wasn't being taught in a way that helped him learn. He's breezing through it now. He won't have time to get through the upper maths like Trig or Calc (I wish I could have started homeschooling when he was younger).
Well, keep the ideas and advice coming, everyone! I appreciate it so much. It's going to help me so much. I can't wait to try some of this. I have to hop off here for a bit, but will be back.

Back on topic, just one suggestion.....
Getting into building your own coils is certainly something to work towards. But try to find a set-up using a simple tank with factory coils and a juice that satisfies you first. Then you will have something working "well" to hit on while learning and fiddling with your builds. And back-ups are a very good thing! Desperate for a satisfying hit while building, not so much.
Consider a mod like the suggested Alien (+1 on the kit with BB) with all its abilities. You can always crank it down as low as 6 watts (I think) to fire any atty you have, yet gives you all the room you need to grow with your builds when the time comes.
Good luck! You can do this! And welcome to the rabbit hole!
