I know the feeling about B&M stores. I was getting my stuff from a tobacco shop to begin with. I was using a cigalike and they were charging a lot for their stuff. The clerk talked me into an EGO Starter kit. 1 650mah batt, disposable tank, charger for 40 dollars. Then I found a B&M Vape shop here. Now for being a B&M his prices aren't high compared to online. He talked me into upgrading form my starter kit. He gave me 15 dollars for my old starter kit, but I got to keep the charger. He then gave me an EGO C Twist VV 1100mah. with a kanger evod2 tank and a lanyard and only charged me 15 dollars. Now I have upgraded again to an Innokin iTaste MVP 2.0 VV/VW with an iClear 30 tank. Gonna upgrade tanks again come payday. I want an aerotank. The local Vape shope only charged me 45 dollars for the MVP with tank and charger. He was asking 60 for it, but he always gives me deals being I recommend him to all the tourist I see here, and I help him fix things he has problems with.
Can't believe I typed Gone With the Wind and it disappeared and I have to start over OMG. I'll just say hi this time instead..I'm from New Orleans and have lived in and around BR as well, back in Nola now, probably for good. Former dental hygienist who hated cigs, started smoking in 04, bought a cig-a-like in 09, then a year later started to smoke regulars (analogs) again. Then about 8 months ago a friend introduced me to vaping and I had NO problems wanting anything else. Thought it would be cheaper, seemed that way at first, hahaha.....oh well. Into the vaping LIFE, spent tons and still have crappy equipment. Planning on upgrading online as the B & M have been a huge disappointment. Not planning on sub-ohm or RBA, just rebuilding the tons of kanger dinosaur parts lurking nearby in bowls, separated by part type. I've seen the tutorials, youtubes etc. Just need the wire and wick and I'll be ready to go. Spent TWO days dry burning and sorting through this mess to find a usable coil and finally did, not sure how long it will hold up. I guess that's it for now....nice to sort of meet everyone and look forward to finally posting rather than lurking and searching for answers. Great info and people here it seems! Thanks in advance 
First forum I've joined so I need to get the hang of not 'bumping threads' or otherwise upsetting anyone. Glad to be here with like minded OCD vaping fanatics like myself, not sure how much I'll be here, but anyway, HI to all!
