Hello-Forum Newbie from Canada

[maetabak]

As I see I am limited to this new members sandbox for a little while, seems I better get to posting to work my way out. I'm 34, female and from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, and have been vaping since mid-late September last year (2011). I've been analog free since around November (had an issue with running out of cartos, and fellow Canadians may appreciate how difficult this whole thing can be up here), but since then, I'm doing well.

Hoping to keep the trend going, and dipping my toe here in the forums, after bookmarking them sometime last year, and lurking about unregistered.

It's been a while since I've actively used a forum so I feel a bit odd, but I'm odd in general to begin with

Perhaps I should add more info about what I've currently got in terms of equipment and whatnot, or my vaping story in general, the lite version

I started with a Bud 1100mah kit, was okay with it at first, but did not like the "tank atty's" they came with. Had issues with them dying or not working at all, then occasionally one would work for a week.
One of the batteries was DOA, so ended up getting 2 ego-t 1000mah batteries.
Tried a smok dual coil mega carto, was blown away, ordered a pile of them, though I did give the Bud sapphire tanks another try, wish I hadn't wasted my money, they still sucked.

Currently using Boge LR cartos, with some Smok dual coils once in a while, as I find I feel like juice gets wasted if the big duals go south on me-can't get that juice back, and here, juice is ever so precious.

Favourite flavour was initially a tobacco, ordered a HUGE bottle, now I can't stand the taste of tobacco and am cursing myself, but it's a learning process.
Current fave flavour: coffee coffee and more coffee. I cannot get enough of my current fave coffee juice that I am likely upping my nic levels by a million, simply because I want the taste of the juice so often.
I also have liked a variety of dessert flavours, but have found that they got a bit cloying after a while. The coffee is just want I want, rich but with a bit of sweet. Perfecto.

It would be great to continue on this track, and start to reduce my nic levels, but given the difficulties one had to overcome with that particular bit here in Canada, I'm more than a little worried. Add to the fact that I don't own a credit card, and my choices get slimmer and slimmer, but I am trying to keep fighting the good fight, as it were.

Welcome, maetabak! Yes, I understand getting supplies is different for Canadians. I, like you, started out with the tobaccos and quickly branched out and away from them..... but 11 months in felt like tobacco flavors again!

Welcome Maeta. So when you get out of the sandbox does that mean you're going to the Canada forum and snubbing the American vapers? LOL

Thank you, and good to know that some go back to the tobacco flavours, I might get some use out of my old tobacco juice then!

Hello and welcome to ecf.

 

[maetabak]

Hah, nah, I won't snub any fellow vapers, but I will admittedly be excited to find more in my country and even my area, what an interesting experience that'll be.

Thanks for the warm welcomes

Welcome to ECF we have some great Canadian suppliers with good prices and fast service. Your gonna kick yourself for not finding ecf sooner I know I did

 

[maetabak]

I bet I will be, but so far, this has all had quite the learning curve, heh. This will also help remove some dependence I've had on a family member living in the US, needing them to order for me.

 

[maetabak]

Having a local vendor option will be fantastic, and yes, less anxiety about cross border ordering. Nice to meet you, and agreed, great to see others from Ottawa here

 

[Vapourscience]

Nice to meet all of you!

 

[TonyTT]

I have a credit card and hardly use it. I prefer using Canadian vendors because they let me use my debit card through my online banking. I actually quite prefer it.

 

[TonyTT]

oh! and welcome to ecf, I'm hoping Ottawa will set up a vape meet soon, but I think we're all so lazy cauza winter...
