Hello ECF!!

[Sacred Disorder]

Hello all, I have been lurking for a while and decided to join and try to be a part of the community. I quit smoking for about six months with vaping, then had a bad juice experience and went back to cigarettes. Now I'm back in it hopefully for good.

Welcome! Sorry about the bad juice experience. Don't lurk, join in the fun! I'm starting my second vape free year!

Hello there. Welcome to ECF and I hope vaping works out for you this time. The biggest thing to remember is that ejuice is made by humans. Humans make mistakes at times. They may get the flavor wrong, they may add a bit too much of this and not enough of that. And at the end of the day, taste is subjective. If you get a bad batch, try to get in touch with the supplier and see if they will refund or replace it. If you don't like a juice you ordered, pif it, mix it or toss it. When you smoked cigarettes, I'm sure you butted plenty out without finishing them. It's a similar situation. Just hang in there and vape on.

Although it might be slightly expensive at first, make sure you have sufficient stock at home. Plenty new coils,, a backup battery, plenty juice in different flavors, etc.
This should prevent you to have to go back to regular cigs when you don't want to.
As mentioned above, undoubtedly you'll be throwing stuff over time. Your taste and preferences will change and with it your equipment and juices.
Still, compared to your, hopefully, old habit, in the end you should be of way cheaper.
Happy vaping...

I save roughly $50-60 a week.

to ecf Sacred Disorder. It really doesn't matter that you went back to smoking. All that matters is you are giving vaping another try and I sincerely hope this is your time. It also helps that you just joined one of the biggest support groups around. Good luck to you.

Thank you for the warm welcome everyone. The flavor was spearmint and I was in aware that it would "stain" my plastic tank. I hated the flavor and immediately pitched it, but I could not kick the flavor. I was stationed in Germany and did not really have a B&M to go to for help. So my first attempt was fumbled through trial and error. This time is going much better. Just finished my first quad coil build and really like the flavor. Not looking to chase clouds, just like to tinker haha.

So far I am probably breaking even with smoking. I was making my own at $10 per Carton. I mainly reverted back to vaping for my kids. And it's too cold here in the winter to go outside every hour or two.

Welcome to ECF! Hopefully you can get those stinkies behind you, and you can enjoy vaping again!
