Aloha friends,

Just wanted to introduce myself and talk about stuff, vaping and my life in general. I am 22 years old living on the beautiful island of Maui, in the lovely state of Hawaii. I work in the restaurant industry and if you have ever worked in food service, you know smoking cigarettes are a delight in an abyss of irrational and irate guests in your establishment. I've been working in restaurants since I was 16, and thus have had a heavy smoking habit since I began in this industry. I've never had a problem with smoking until I started to realize about 6 months ago, I couldn't jog, I was out of breath during every physical activity, being ridiculed by my peers and loved ones for my stupid habit.
About a year ago I was gifted an Ego twist with a clearomizer from my semi father in law. I tried hard then but to my own avail my smoking of analogs dominated me. A few months down the line I bought an MVP 1.0 which came DOA which was pretty unpleasant. Ordered a second one with an Iclear 30 and some 70PG/30VG 6 mg Nicotine juice and tried, I failed. I couldn't kick having only electric and no analogs. But as of 3 weeks ago I decided my life was more important and decided to change my ways. I went and bought a Kanger Pro Tank 2, and was just thrown back by flavor and the ability that this could have in my life to remove analogs.
So over the past few days, I went nuts and just put my credit card all over the internet while researching vaping and everything that comes with it. So ill list some of the stuff I have coming in the mail, and confidently say today is my first day in 6 years without a real cigarette.

I hope to be a great contributor to the website, thanks for reading a little about me.


In the mail.
2x IMR 18650 3.7 2000 mAh 10A
2x Sony 18650 2600 mAh 30A
30ft Vapowire 28 Gauge A-1 Kanthal
1x VTAR VP1 Charger
1x Bag Organic Cotton
1x Black Cana Mod from Cloupor #2979 Elev8
1x Black Russian 91%
1x Authentic Nimbus RDA
1x Ceramic Tipped Tweezers
1x Plastic Battery Case 2x 18650
1x Innokin U Can 2.0
1x OHM Meter
FuZion Narwhal Blood 15ML at 6MG to be dripped.
FuZion Spartan Wives 30ML at 6MG to be dripped.
FuZion Unicorn Blood 15ML at 6MG to be dripped.

Currently on the to buy list:
Working mat for my working table.
Screwdriver set.
I already have a butane torch so butane.


I think this will be a good start, I am also looking for a Mechanical Mod, I have no problems with clones I purchased the Cloupor Hana Clone for a few reasons, price point, and the wait and BS that seems to surround Hana. I've used my Chefs K101 and loved it, so I am pretty open, I haven't had a Mechanical before and I watched quite a few videos on battery safety, downloaded the ohms law calculator for my iPhone, I have a somewhat clear understanding what I am doing, but I felt an introduction to Rebuildable Atomizers and RDA should be on a regulated device, and then possibly moving on to a mechanical as I move forward in my vape journey.

I also will post questions in this thread that come up, after using the search of course.

Thanks, and hope to talk with you all soon.

Welcome to ECF!! A lot of good knowledge here! Feel free to use it and ask as many questions as you need to. I know you can get past the stinkies with the right gear. That being said...I wouldn't rush into a Mech. You can get a regulated device that will do just as well and you don't have to worry about all that battery safety stuff.

Yes precisely. When I made all these purchases I felt like I overdid it. But I looked at how other people spent and felt it justified for my health, and now to become a new hobby in my somewhat boring life.

I wanted regulated to be safe(r)!

I'm vaping on the 1.0 MVP now, and a lot of the Innokin products although price conscious have left a sour taste in my mouth, and I am trying to avoid further supporting their products, but it is what I have now, and I am enjoying it and would even recommend it to someone. I want a few mods, and when I get involved in something, (wine, food, paintball) I get extremely obsessive and really overflow myself with knowledge and understanding of principle, theory, and pure fact knowledge.

to ecf and it sounds like you are off to a fantastic start. I love dripping. I use 18mg and have not problems. I started loving dripping even more when I started using a reo grand. Now that is the "ultimate dripper". Good luck to you and I guess for the first time in my life I can say, Aloha. :D

Right on, RELZ!!!!!!

I had a horrible experience in that shop so I only order online or go to Garrett the guy who owns island hobbies for any small things I need. The whole vape shack experience and lack of professionalism is a huge turn off. Id rather spend my hard earned money elsewhere.


On a side note, what is a good recommendation for a mechanical mod!
