Hello everyone, I am recently a new forum member here on ECF. I've actually been browsing this forum for a few months as an unregistered guest, but I decided that my ever increasing visits warranted a membership.
A little about myself and my experience with vaping: Like many of you here I'm sure, I started smoking when I was a youngster, around 15 or so, tried many times to quit, was unsuccessful. I smoked for 18 years. I started on Vuse, in a more concerted effort to quit and without knowing anything about vaping. I quickly noticed what utter junk that product is, walked into my local B&M, and started on my vape journey.
Started on an iStick Mini with Nautilus Mini combo (great stealth vape) and 24mg/ml. Currently rock single 18650 devices while I MTL my Subtank Mini RBA at around 14-15 watts, between 1 - 1.5 ohms, and I've cut down to 16 mg/ml.
Wayne Walker inspired me to start DIY, which I've been doing since February with some success. I didn't understand the whole FDA nonsense back then, so I consider myself a bit lucky that I'm not trying to start that in the middle of all this confusion (but if you haven't, you should!).
I convinced my girlfriend to quit smoking, and I DIY for her as well. I consider myself a vaping evangelist of sorts, and I'm always telling anyone who will listen about the health and economic benefits, answering questions, etc.
I've been off the stinkies for over a year and it's great. I have vape tech to thank for that. Unfortunately, I fear that the same path to cessation will not be so readily available to people after 2016. I hope I am wrong.
Thanks for this forum, and thanks for having me.
