6 yrs. vaping - New to ECF!

Not open for further replies.
Just want to introduce myself here, I've been lurking on ECF for a few years and figured i'd finally join.

I started vaping back when the blue foam was the newest tech. I had no idea how much it would change my life.

I switched from 1.5 packs of cigarettes a day for 1 reason. My son had just started kindergarten and I was volunteering in his class. I quickly realized how bad I smelled. Vapor kits had just started coming out at b&m smoke shops. I tried it and liked it. Although my first kit sucked it started me on a journey to find something that would work for me and stopped me from smelling like an ashtray.

Here I am 6 years later vaping on my old chi yu clone with a dark horse rda clone built at .34 ohms 3 strands of 28 gauge wire twisted nicely putting out clouds of my own DIY strawberry quick recipe. My how far I have come and how much I have learned!

I have turned on roughly 30 people to vaping and am constantly getting bugged by them for my liquids, I now use a lot of them as taste testers for my new creations. It also amazes me the different tastes that different people have. Some love the sweet, some love the tobaccos, at different flavor levels as well.

I just want to thank you all for the advice I have gotten from you without you even noticing. I will give as much back to this forum as I can and am very grateful this place exists.

Thank you ECF and members!

wonderful, it is nice to hear from folks who have been vaping such a long time, I have only been vaping less than three months BUT we now have B & M stores here in fact at least 8 or 9 within a 1/2 hour radius most of them are small and even the local drug store is selling a little bottled juice there is still resistance, some bad press and I suspect heavy efforts towards taxation and restrictions BUT Nova Scotia is always ten years behind - it's the maritime way -; so I would say there is solid hope for vaping- good for you in doing the smart thing for yourself and your son.
 
Thanks everyone for the warm welcome!

I have to say both my son and daughter are very big inspiration for a lot in my life as well as my wife. I'm blessed to have such a great family!

My current setup is the one I'm using now... Mentioned in my first post. (Chi yu clone, dark horse rda clone) Since I switched to mech mod it's all I have. I found that I only need a back up 18650 and I'm good for a good couple days. These mechs are indestructible! I don't think it's possible for it to go out on me like I went through old batteries. I remember always tucking egos and 510's into any spare place I could to make it a day of vaping. Not anymore! I now run strictly drippers, and have plenty of supplies. Although my coil builds last months with only cotton changes. It has gotten very inexpensive for me to get my beloved nicotine into my system since learning how to build on them. That's an added benefit!

The blue foam brings memories back for all us old schoolers..... Pyramid tea bags were another of the old technique as well. Remember those! Like I said we have come a long way as a vaping community. I'm excited to see what the future brings...

Also Caro123, keep at it, that few months will turn into a few years before you realize! Life happens soooo quickly! Just don't give up!

Thanks again everyone!
Smokestack....
