Hello ECF, I just signed up to say thanks. For the last 6 days I have learned so much from this forum. I've been thinking a lot the last few months about e-cigs as an alternative to help me and my girlfriend quit smoking, or least find a safer route to get the nic for our children's benefit.
Our 5 year old daughter was just given the official word of being in remission from ALL Leukemia. The girl was a trooper about it all and has pulled through, and its not fair to her to be exposed to our nasty habits on a second chance at life. Her 3 year old brother was also her cell donor. They both deserve better futures, far far away from cigarettes. After all my reading I understand the risks and the unknown aspects of e-gigs, but there's just no way be it can worse than "Analogs" (probably the nicest thing I've heard them called), and definatly seems safer for the people around you.
Cost effectiveness is a major issue right now, and Ive come to find that to stay within what we spend on tobacco I will have to mix my own juices and rebuild my own wicks. Both are fine with me. I'm a big DIYer with anything and have a good history with electronics and machinery in general. Also thanks to 2 years of my daughter having so many medical needs, I've now also got a good bit of knowledge on dosing and medicines.
At first it all did seem a bit overwhelming, but after reading for a day or two it all fell into place. Picking a vendor seemed the hardest, lots of who had what, and how much, trying to find a good deal. Lots of e-cig websites seem really overly flashy, poorly laid out, and just downright shady for some of them. Thought about fasttech, hard to beat those prices for anything, but I dont want to wait forever to start this up. Usually the most patient guy, but not this time, I want it now!
I decided on Mt Baker Vapors, nicely laid out website, good prices, and free 15 ml, awesome! I ordered a Mini-Protank 2, 900mah passthrough, and 30ml of apple for about $41 to get me started. Shipped today, cant wait till it gets here, all this has got me excited! I still need to gather enough vaping supplies for both of us, but I wanted to grab something descent to start out, so more to not turn her off of it with some cheapo crap thats gonna run out of battery, or flood and leak all the time
Well this went way longer than I intended, but a big toast to the forum in its whole and thanks again!
