Welcome to the vapenut house!
Been vaping for about 3.5 years. Have a vape closet crammed full of gear. But like you I'm
very budget conscious. Nearly everything I have has come from clearance pages, giveaways or just piffed to me.
Just recently decided to go back to MTL vaping. All I had to do was go to my cabinet and dig out some retired gear and fire it up. This is my current fave vape. VV 650 MAH Evod batteries with Aspire clearos.

I do occasionally give in to a limited case of shinyitis tho. Just ordered a new Dvarw V2 MTL RTA (clone) for a whopping 10 bucks. Gonna mount it on one of my old Vamo box mods and hopefully get close to the same vape as my clearos. May spring for a second RTA if it works out.

I also DIY my juice. For my current low power gear I mix at 50/50 PG/VG and 36mg FBnic. Current flavors are Old Tyme Rootbeer, Sweet Southern Tea and Fuji Apple.
