You guys have done a great job with the technology. I'm new. I walked into the vape shop, knowing nothing, and just asked for something easy to use with a decent throat hit for not too much money and they had it. I liked the first flavor I tried. It delivers a satisfying puff. A monkey could use it - all you do is press a button. I got the thing as a novelty - I didn't really think it would help to quit smoking, it just seemed like fun (and I wanted to be able to use it indoors without making a stink). But once I had it for a while, I just didn't see the point in getting any more cigs. It wasn't like some big struggle. More like "meh. Kinda tastes like crap. I'll get around to it. Maybe."

You people have created a miracle. I can't even begin to tell you how badly I needed this. I had coughs that felt like they ripped my lungs, I lived on chinese noodles to afford cigs, I was sick all the time, I couldn't smell anything, I had a deep pain in my lung. It's all over. I'm still picking my jaw up off the floor here because, as far as I was concerned, it was impossible for me to quit. I had tried everything, cold turkey many times, patches, gums, Wellbutrin (bad idea), you name it.

Thankyou!

Welcome to the family!

Day-um, recently received a couple of 'likes' re my 'satan spawn' post from waaay back. Thought I'd catch up and say 'hi' to sum folk I haven't 'seen' in a while. WOW, major, major flashbacks!!!

I survived an Dissectional Aortic Aneurysm July 4th 2009...

What an inspiring and scary story!

What mod is this?

Enviable!!!

 

[JC Okie]

...can you GUYS even see a mod? Hint: it's pink.

Well... I remember spending way too much time on ECF.

Some of my favorite ECF folks have posted in this thread, so I'll probably have to remind myself after this that there is a such thing as spending way too much time on ECF.

 

[Ryedan]

Ok, @Mistaree - I'll give it a go.

This next one is either Empire, or Empire inspired.

How'd I do?

OMG ... That brings back fond memories of my first mech mod Kat.

I still have my K100, all it needs is a new switch spring 'cause I wore out the original . Along with my Aga-T2 atty.

They're in my vapocalypse box and aren't going anywhere anytime soon

Seven smoke-free years later....it's still working.

JC Okie, or JC Newbie (whatever you prefer),,, wow. Tho not far from the 7 year mark, I'm incredibly impressed and inspired by you and those that actually steadfastly gave a chance to vaping when it was...... DIFFICULT!!!!! (to say the least)

Thank you. THANK YOU.

Hard to believe I have been on ECF for over 8 years.

Time flies when you're having fun, as they say.

 

[mattiem]

I consider this place my home away from home. It is nice to hang out with a bunch of like minded folks. It is amazing how quickly the past almost 6 years has gone by.

 

[Stosh]

Always liked hanging out on ECF.
My problem is this thread is the only one left where I recognize the hardware being discussed!!

Does seem that way, doesn't it.
Thanks for the chuckle.

I remember when "mods" were actually mods

That is one that still makes me Smile when I think about it.

 

[QcVaper]

I'm still relatively new here but i remember when vaping first started to appear in my province (Quebec) couple years ago. The mall i usually went to had a small shop which sold just about everything and anything and they had a couple models of these with couple juices selection (0mg nicotine though) The guy i got my first ego from didn't know much if anything about the industry back then but i decided to still try it out. Not even a week in i went back to smoking until about 3 months ago when i got a "real setup" (aka v.w mod with nautilus tank). Now that i read this it is crazy how far vaping now compared to just a couple years ago

 

[CMD-Ky]

I made one like that with a chip, I kied it more because I made it than it's quality.

That is one that still makes me Smile when I think about it.

 

[Houdini]

I remember when the DSE901 first came out. That's what I started with 9 years ago. The biggest "big thing" after that was a button was added so you could control the vape time.
