Ever wish you could take a class in vaping?

If you are like me and fairly new to all of this, it can be rather overwhelming. There are a ton of videos out there, but the vast majority of them are reviews of items that are given to the reviewers so needless t say they all "hit hard". There are some great build ones but rarely do they explain why you should buy/build something do to it's scientific principles. My first few dives into rebuilding where only guided by Riptripper saying this build is "sick as ....", now don't get me wrong I like Rips videos and he really makes me laugh. However I really wanted to know why I should use 24/28/30/32 gauge wire and what it does when I do. Thankfully after lots of time searching I found what I was looking for and needed in explaining what's what's and why. Now I am not promoting for the sake of promoting but rather sharing what has been a great help to my understanding of vaping. Search YouTube for Pegasus1337, he has several class structure videos that sheds a better light on builds/mods/batteries/vaping in general. I hope this helps some that are as lost as I was when I first started.

It sure would have made it a lot easier at the beginning. Of course hanging around ECF is sort of like getting a whole degree, not just a class.

OKC Vapes offers free rebuilding classes in Norman, Edmond, and OKC. I've never attended one.

I keep trying to get together with my still smoking friends and arrange a "VaperWare" Party. I would love to be able to show and demonstrate different batteries and toppers and answer questions but I can't get nobody on board.

I have to brag here about how dang lucky I am - I live in Tucson, AZ, and we have a B&M here that does vape classes on everything from getting started with vaping to building coils. Totally cool and fun to go to - you can pick up new tips and tricks just by seeing what other people do.

Youtube university offers a few courses. Many of the instructors are absolutely amazing, some not so much!

Welcome to ecf and yes you are right, it can be overwhelming. That is what is so wonderful about ecf......the people. Lots have helped me and I appreciate them so. Good luck to you and happy vaping to ya. Have fun with it.

Here is a link that has helped me alot. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/general-e-smoking-discussion/521076-one-stop-reference-shop-new-experienced-vapers.html

Lots of good information here.

ECF was my best resource when I got started and some of the blogs where real beneficial.

Omh's law, safety, rebuilding Protanks to RDA/RBA's it all came from here. The advanced search by title gave me everything I needed once I found something I wanted to learn about and most times I was building while reading.

Damn fine place this ECF! Well except for all the new gear I had to buy because I wanted to know first hand what everything was talking about.

Likely not attend classes anyways. I am doing fine with the board and utube videos. very pleased with my progression over the last year vaping. doing my own juice and building my own coils and wicking. I can learn what I want, when I want and not waste time.

You really don't need a class. While it may be a little overwhelming when you watch all the videos, vaping isn't really all that difficult. Once you buy a piece and use it, you'll figure it out pretty quick. The only thing that makes it difficult is deciding which one to get. The good news is that most devices are pretty good, even the cheaper priced ones. The most difficult thing is probably building your own coils. But you don't have to. There are plenty of tanks out there that just have off the shelf replacement coils to buy.

Oh, and lastly. Everything you need to know is right here on ECF. So you already found all the classes you need right here with plenty of people to help you out! It's like taking a test and having that smart Asian dude right behind you telling you all the answers.

Taking classes certainly helped me. My husband doesn't smoke or vape and at the time I didn't know anyone who did. I am a grandmother who had smoked for 40+ years. After those guys (SteamCigs) got through with me I could build a coil with the best. Had a wonderful time learning and hanging out with the staff and fellow vapers. We did a lot of show & tell when we got vape mail. We had several DIYers so they even had a class on how to mix flavors. Very informative and lot's of fun. I will always be grateful to those guys.

Pay for my air fare and I'm there!

Seriously though, a VaperWare Party is a great idea.

Youtube and the fine folks from here were my teachers...took me a while but I eventually got it. I remember though in the beginning how I said I was never going to bother learning how to build coils or I wouldn't dare pay that much money for a Provari...guess what? I am now happily puffing away on a Kayfun Lite on my Provari! LOL
