Well!
My name's Dan and I'm from the US. Its been 4 months now since my last cigarette (ex pack.5 per day smoker). After breaking my first vape, vision spinner vvpv, I decided to buy my first mod!

Currently vaping an iTaste SVD with stacked 18350's, a Kanger Protank II, 1.8ohm head at 6 volts with nyquid strawberry fuzz 24mg!

Hopefully I can contribute and learn a whole bunch from this forum and I look forward to it!

Hey dan, just joined myself. Been lurking in the backround for a few months learning the basics, glad to see I'm in good noobie company. (My wife is actually the one doing the vaping) I have got her into vaping to get rid of the analogs I hate so much. She's been going strong on some ego twists and kanger protank II after the first 3 months on an eroll, what an upgrade. Going about the process of building my first mod from the ground up, plenty to learn from here and seems like great people to do the teaching.

Welcome Dan, and congrats on your success!

Since you are new to e-cigarettes, and probably new to the batteries that we use in our mods, I just wanted to caution you that stacking batteries is generally not recommended. This practice increases risk of battery failure in the form of short circuits and if you choose to use stacked batteries despite the known risks you must follow a special regimen. No battery expert will recommend stacking batteries. ecigs, mods and battery safety | Guide To Vaping

I personally do not recommend this practice so I will not provide that regimen here. Should you choose to continue this practice, I suggest you do an ECF or web search to learn what others recommend is the least riskiest way to use stacked batteries.

The batteries that we use pack a LOT of stored energy within them. They demand our utmost respect to always use them safely. Improper use or handling of Lithium Ion batteries can result in catastrophic accidents. Below is an AW IMR battery which recently was not stored properly and became short-circuited from something metallic in a book bag. The pic demonstrates what can happen if you do not practice safe battery habits. In hindsight, the novice user should have used plastic battery cases to store his spare batteries in.
