In the beginning, I will admit I had a larger than medium reservation about vaping. People with mint tins smoking brown juice seemed like a cross between something from "Dune" and Douglas Adams that I like to refer to as "Dune Adams". (as I side note: I did recently have the idea of creating a vape-hookah suitcase with a robotic cat in it. Ref. Image: http://goo.gl/0ABm5)

I started off with bedford slims e-cig to stick my toe into the vaping pond. I really enjoyed their dark roast flavor with the caffeine in it even though I have read on multiple occasions that you can't vape caffeine. Well the placebo or the Ginko they add is lovely. The whole idea of coffee and cigarettes in one action speaks to my love of efficiency and my love of being lazy. The design aesthetic of stainless and black is really what sold me though. I can be fancy and futuristic...the robotic gentleman...most excellent!

I was sold on vaping after a few weeks of being able to sit at my computer screen at work and concentrate for hours on the most mind numbing of topics with just a few puffs...and I looked cool doing it. So of course with any hobby that catches my interest, I throw myself headfirst down the rabbit hole with little disregard for time or money. So I spend hours reading forums and watching reviews on youtube.com most often times looking up and realizing the time for sleep had past and the time for work was about to begin. So I came to some conclusions, please let me know if they are wrong:


  • Hellfire is lord of awesome and I should get everything that dude makes without even using the grey matter between my ears.
  • Get myself a Carto Jazz Pipe because I enjoy being extra fancy.
  • Stainless Steel wicks are the devil's work and will make me want to jump off a bridge if I try to do it myself but it the best way to fly
  • Join every forum and be prepared to create 20+ posts for each that are meaningful to be able to get to into classifieds to get the stuff you really want.
  • The vape community is so dialed in that the instant a hot item comes out everyone knows about it in seconds, it has 5-10 reviews on Youtube, its sold out and they will never make it again and you end up trading first borns for mods.
I think the most important thing I learned is this...The social stigma of smoking being anti-social and gross has birthed a vaping community that is hyper-social and proud. That overall is what made me want to join in on this fun. Thank you in advance for having me and please excuse me if you see this post on another forum, I am not sure I could come up with 100+ original posts worth reading on a vape forum.

omg you are so right about that.

but just to let you know if you spam threads to get your post numbers up they'll be deleted.
so you can talk about the weather or random stuff, I guess


How is the weather where you are Spyder? lol It keeps snowing in PA and I want to kill someone :p

I love Douglas Adams. Not so much of a Dune fan but my husband is.

I'm a tech geek, but at the moment my wallet wouldn't forgive me if I dove right in like that. But I've already devised an evil brilliant master plan.

In short order, I should have acquired enough female attention that I can get a few sugar mommas, and thus satisfy my tech needs.

Wife: "Why don't we just cuddle? I feel like you're out of touch with my emotional needs as a woman." Husband: "........"
Fast forward to the jewelry store, where the husband gives her free rein and some recommendations, allowing her to scoop up several pieces of pricy jewelry.
Wife: "Really, you're buying this for me?" Husband: "No honey, I just want you to hold it for a while. See, I think you're out of touch with my financial needs as a man."

I would never spam. I like well thought out posts and questions. The weather in Georgia right now is a cross between post apocalyptic and Seattle. Its neither winter/spring/summer but all of them at once just depending on the day. Its very gross. Luckily my life is in doors where its always pleasant and everyone knows my name. Did you happen to watch the "Holistic Detective" series that was on BBC? I highly recommend it if you missed it. You can watch the whole series on Youtube.

@HK-47 Statement: Do you really need "Meatbags" to get money? ;)
