Howdy, just getting back into vaping again after about a 6yr hiatus, back in 2012 I had got off the stinkies for a year then went out drinking on New Years 2013 and thought I could celebrate with a pack of ciggs and consumption of large amounts of alcohol and needless to say I was hooked again and back on the stinkies.
My how times have changed with eciggs in the past few years, back then ego batteries and small clearomizers were the big deal now everyone has gone to the variable wattage/voltage mods and ego batteries and such are antiquated antiques. Went to a couple of the local vape shops looking for some clearomizers for my old ego batteries and the guys acted like they didnt even know what I was talking about and looked at the display cases and they were all full of new fangled mods! I did find a couple of clearomizers at one shop but after trying them they seemed to be lacking. I went ahead and bought some juice and pulled out my old stash of clearomizers (vision V3's), cleaned them up, installed some new coils I had stashed away a couple weeks ago and tried to start getting into vaping again, worked pretty good but I still found myself smoking now and again.
About 3 or 4 yrs ago I bought a couple of those Kangertech Subox Nano & Mini Mod Kits but never could really get into them and they just wound up laying on the shelf. Pulled them back out last weekend and started playing with them and found myself getting into grove again as I seemed to get much more flavor and vapor from them than I did with the old ego setup. This weekend I went out and bought one of those new fangled Geek Vape Aegis Solo Kits and I seem to like it much better! Also got me some tobacco flavored juice and that's helping to make my cigarette urge go away also.
Next I plan to get back to making my own juice again like I was back when and I've already ordered quite a few supplies. I remember years ago I found a good buttery nipple ejuice recipe and mixed it up and it turned out delicious and that was my daily vape, even got down to zero nicotine before I went out that New Years and got hooked on Ciggs again. I plan on mixing that up again and trying some other recipes. Seems the buttery nipple I find at the vape shops and online here lately is kinda dulled down and doesn't taste as good as the stuff I used to make.
I also thought there used to be a DIY forum here on this board but I don't see it anymore!! Everything seemed to mixed up in the General vaping and ELiquid discussion forums. I remember there was a good sticky in that forum and mixing your own stuff by some woman and it gave good tips on the different brand flavors and there tastes and how to go about adding nicotine and stuff. Needless to say between this forum and other sites and youtube videos I can find all the info I need.
BTW anyone got a good Black Berry and Cream recipe? Looking for something that taste like fresh dewberries off the vine mixed with can milk and sugar like we sued to make when we were kids, man that stuff was good! Well anyhow sorry for such a long post and wish me luck getting back into the vaping world again, later!! HD
