Hi, my name's Jeff and I like candlelight dinners, long walks on the beach......wait a sec. Wrong forum...
So, as evidenced by the title, I'm new here. I recently found myself lamenting the fact that Iowa winters are too cold to sit outside in the evening with my hookah, and I won't smoke it in my apartment. I have a few friends on Facebook that I remembered vape, so I started digging for information. This site showed up on a lot of my Google searches for information, so I decided to join. Mostly I've been picking a friend of mine's brain that lives in CA and works at a vapor lounge, but I'm sure he's getting sick of my incessant questions, so now I'm here to annoy you.
I guess I'm not really doing this to quit smoking, as I don't smoke anything but the hookah, and at worst during the summer, I go through maybe 6 or 7 bowls in a month. This is more something I can do when the hookah just isn't feasible. I usually have company when I smoke it, and I'm not interested in sitting around for an hour plus with nobody but the hookah for company while I force myself to smoke the whole bowl by myself and then regret it the next day. Mostly though, it's because it's too effing cold outside right now. The hookah can hibernate until spring time.
Right now, I'm setup with a nautilus Mini on an R2D2 vv/vw mod. Sitting in the mailbox at home, I have an Atlantis and Vanilla mechmod clone I'm itching to play with when I get home. I've also ordered some Kanthal and a couple cheap rebuildables to tinker around with and decide just how far down this rabbit hole I want to go.
So point me in the direction of some good stuff to read on the reasons we use a given number of wraps, vs twisted wires, flat wire, wick materials, etc... and anything else that will get me off to a good start. I'm one of those that when I start a new hobby, I try to learn absolutely everything I can about it. Like I said, I've gleaned a lot from my friend's head, but I know I haven't gotten it all yet.
