Hello everybody, not sure what to write so briefly here is my story.
I smoked from the age of 19, my aunt became ill and died from cancer, my uncle wouldn't let me visit unless I stopped cigs or started vaping. I was quite mad at him and didn't see him for two years but now after almost one year completely cig free I am so glad he is a tobacco fascist lol.
I am really good friends with him again, he never stopped being my friend but he made a promise he won't break about cigs - smoking and in the house - I was just stubborn.
I housesit for him and recently during a stay my Cool Fire IV packed up so we Skyped for him to show me how to use some of his mech mods, battery charging, safety and such, now I can't get enough of the simplicity but fear collecting these shiny tubes will take over my life.

My uncle makes his own liquids and assures me If I can bake a cake I should be able to follow known recipes and produce great juice. I am busy trying dozens of different flavours he has and searching for recipes that might suit until I know which concentrates I will need to buy.
I know he never minds me asking questions but now I am looking into building my own coils and wicks I think it's better to use this forum unless I am really stuck.
I was going to use a forum at a vape equipment store I have bought from in the far east but without wanting to be disrespectful the place is like a zoo, not the place for good info, tremendous if you want to fight online though :)
I look forward to meeting people here and every month or two I have a lovely big place in London for parties and hook-ups, j/k.
That should be enough for now, not as brief as I thought it would be. Harriot

Welcome to the forum.

Don't worry too much about collecting mods, I have shinyitis but in 3 years of collecting mods and tanks I still saved (wait a minute I have to look it up) $7084.53.

I use a spreadsheet to keep track. The posting app that shows what I saved on cigarettes doesn't take into account my extra expenses.

Happy vaping

I missread that at first and thought you had spent $7084 on your collection :) It is incredible how the savings mount up. I won't preach to the ecf choir about the other saving but it is there.
I will be sure to get my doctor to monitor my shinyitis in a month or two Ronald, ok maybe three. Thank you for posting too.

Howdy to you dc, nice to meet you. I managed 25 years without saying 'howdy' but it feels mighty fine :banana:
Nice to meet you, as well - and you're most assuredly in the right place :)

Exceptional community here - lots of excellent information, insight and experience

And enjoy the DIY journey - one of my favorite aspects of the hobby (though the shinyitis support group meetings are good too)

Would that be shinyitis anonomous? I will most certainly need it.
Thanks, I am already enjoying the start of my DIYing, I have my uncles taste for cookies and for coconut, and luckily he has lots made up so I am living the (vapers) dream.:thumbs:

Hi @Harriot_S and welcome to the ECF forums! GREAT story! What a good guy your uncle is.
I think I know of the far east vendors forum of which you speak. Yeah, that place is a brawl.

LOVE your avatar too! Quite a uh.. concept, you have going there. You seem like a fan of Shenanigans! The search feature is your friend, I'm sure you can find PLENTY of shenanigannery around THIS place. DIY info too, aplenty!

Congrats on your victory over the smokes, and looking forward to seeing you around!

Welcome. I really enjoyed your post. I don't know where London is but I'll Google it. :)

Thank you, I am glad you liked it.
London lol, I am actually from a minute town called Norwich a few hundred miles north of here, I don't think you'll find it on a Google search yet, we only got this electricity thing in January.:pervy:
Please excuse me replying a bit late, I didn't have the chance to post until this morning.
