If I only knew...

I see this question posed on a lot of forums and it always generates great discussions. If you could go back in time and inform your past self (right when you were a beginning vaper) what you now know about vaping, what would you tell them?

Don't fret throwing that Joye 510 unit out the car window like it was a spent cig.

Don't waste time and money on starter kits. Get a decent mod and tank from the get go.

No matter what the "latest and greatest" gear is, keep in mind the reason to vape is to NOT smoke.

Everything else is just dessert.

Not much really. It's a journey and their are really no mistakes or failures. Just "learning". Perhaps my first el cheapo clone VV mod which broke after about a month. No more penny wise and pound foolish for me after that. Taught me to appreciate quality and spend my money accordingly.

It certainly was a journey. Frustrating at times, but very rewarding most of the time. I would say don't cheap out on your first one and get something you can grow with. But for me it was all in the learning curve. I now give coil building lessons in the local store in my town. I just help them out as I own a mechanical company and no time to work there through the day. Weekends are for archery. CHEERS!

Learn to mix juice. Saves a ton of money, and adjusts to your liking.

I really Don't have that Many Regrets.

Yeah, I've got a whole Drawer full of Stuff that I don't use Anymore. But It wasn't so much that it was Junk when I bought It just kinda became Obsolete as Better and Better Hardware hit the Scene.

I guess my Only regret was not Moving to VV as soon as it 1st came out. But that was so long ago, I wouldn't call it a Regret.

Vape on. It only gets better.

Find some flavors that you can vape forever and learn how to DIY them. I eventually came to this but knowing ahead of time that was the 'plan' would have saved some money and effort.

Find one flavor you like and then find someone who also likes that flavor - same eliquid vendor - as you do and find out what else they like. It doesn't always work, but it's better than chasing someone else's view of the 'latest and greatest' flavor, which is a sure road to disappointment and waste.

If you become a cloud chaser, instead of a flavor chaser, disregard the above...
