Hi all -
My name is Will. I wanted to give a little info about myself as well as a brief history of my experiences with E-cigs and where I'm at presently.
I live in the Washington, DC area in the United States, although technically I am a Maryland resident (Prince George's County). I smoked from the age of 17 until about three months ago, when I made the switch to ecigs.
Originally, about two years ago, I ordered a Blu, which I enjoyed until I had to start buying cartridges that claimed they were the equivalent of twenty cigarettes and realistically we less than five cigarettes per. I was pretty upset about that and subsequently returned to smoking analogs.
While I was back smoking, the electronic cigarette scene has flourished considerably. My aim with vaping has always been to reduce my costs, rather than any health reason - but I consider the health benefits to be a huge advantage and am sure that this is a selling point on a lot of vapers. Not smelling like an ash tray and better oral health are additional huge benefits in this new hobby.
I consider vaping an alternative to smoking - that can be healthier, more cost friendly, and an interesting alternative subculture in general.
On Facebook I am a member of the group Maryland Vapers which I highly suggest you join if you are in the area - we have meets, contests, and are known in the local B&M scene, which has been booming a lot in 2013.
About three months ago, I ordered a Joyetech 510-T, my first tank system and first manual button. I loved everything about the 510-T until my atomizers began clogging needlessly. I purchased a Kangertech EVOD from the nearest B&M about 90 days ago, and I consider that to be my real beginning to proper vaping, and the true end to smoking. Before I found a consistently reliable device with affordable upkeep, I would have to resort to classic cigarettes when my hardware failed.
I've also jumped immediately into the DIY scene, and have been accumulating supplies and have even turned out a few test runs of some vape juices. However, I still have a lot of testing and research to do before I can begin giving out samples of my juices. I take very detailed records of all my DIY activity and hope to make a somewhat lucrative business out of it in the distant future. For now, I am just a consumer like the majority of users. Feel free to ask me any questions you may have. This forum is a wealth of knowledge and I'd be happy to relay any I've come across to you!

Yay! DIYing will get easier. It sounds like your going about it right though. I've gotten kind of lazy with my mixing anymore. It's usually just a dab of this, dash of that, and on my way. I'm ADD so lots of notes just get lost on me
