Hello all,
My name is Damon, and after lurking the forums here for about a week I decided to sign up. I tried the username Deemodiablo but was denied. Bummer. I first started vaping in 2010, when I ignorantly bought a Greensmoke kit. It was okay at the time but didn't keep me off traditional cigarettes. That is, until I saw a co-worker puffing away on something that was less cigarette-like. I approached my co-worker, Jay, and asked him to tell me more about the device he was using. It was the Volcano Magma. I was intrigued by the push-button and the fact that he was dripping liquid directly into the cartomizer. He offered me a try, and my curiosity got the best of me. What a difference it was! I had no idea these devices existed at the time. Jay gave me the website for Volcano and within the week I had the Inferno in my hand, along with two Cisco 1.5 ohm atomizers, ten blank cartomizers and a 15ml bottle of 16mg strength tobacco juice. Before I knew it I was trying ALL the flavors I could get my hands on. My two inferno batteries still work, and I still use them.
In 2011 I traveled abroad to Germany. Nervous about having them confiscated at customs, I did not pack my PVs. I stayed in Germany for eight weeks, but had completely forgotten about my infernos by the time I had returned home. Thirteen months passed and I saw a kiosk at the mall, I believe it was smoke 51. I wandered within earshot to eavesdrop on what the sales rep was telling a customer. When she rang up the price I was shocked. This woman just shelled out $250 for a few measly items! It was that moment I remembered my Infernos sitting in my computer desk drawer, so I rushed home and sat at the desk. I pulled the drawer open slowly, and sorted through the vast assortment of electronic odds-and-ends that filled the wooden compartment. There it was, at the very back sat a black canvas bag, previously used to store Anti Reflective Devices for a pair of M22 Fujinon binoculars, now filled with the signature volcano gift box and a small assortment of liquids and attachments in a ziploc bag.
A week later, here I am typing this long-winded introduction, surely boring anyone who has managed read this far.
I would like to add that I understand there are many PV devices available, and many are rebranded from the same basic source. I also understand that Volcano may not be the best supplier, and their products may or may not be the best available, and that I am probably a huge dork for not owning a mod of some sort. Volcano has treated me well. I'm not advertising for them or reviewing them, and I am open to purchase PVs or mods from other reputable sources, but I quit my well-paying traveling job to go back to school, so funds are a bit limited. It's not that I'm broke, but I am frugal. I've bought liquids from other places and they're great, like Crazy Sweet from All About Vapor in Round Rock, TX for example.
I would also like to add that I'm tired right now, so my thoughts are long-winded. I am also done for the night with my homework, so I have nothing else to do right now but keep my hands busy typing more than anyone wants or cares to read, although I'm sure a few will. I don't really expect you to.
tl;dr I'm a student and I vape. I'm in my honeymoon phase with ecigs and am obsessively researching different products.
Thanks
