Hello from Brittany, France

[FrankVappa]

Hi everybody from Brittany, France.

I completely gave up a 50 year old pack-a-day analog habit 10 weeks ago. I had been trying 1st and 2nd generation devices for the past 2 years but they didn't really cut it for me. In early December I sprang for a VV/VW mod and 2 replaceable-coil atties and for the past month I've been using a RTA (Fogger 4.1) in single microcoil/cotton mode - (I block the juice channels on 1 side.) I've joined this forum to deepen my coil-building knowledge and to learn to make my own e-liquid, because I'm consuming 4-5 mls.a day - probably because I've gone from 16 mg/ml to 6 mg/ml in only 2 months but I had no choice because I was overdosing on nicotine with heart palpitations and headches, not to mention weird dreams - and it's getting expensive!

Wishing you all a great week. Here, the weather has picked up a bit and it hasn't rained for a week. That's rare for Brittany!

Hello Frank and welcome to the forum. Congrats on quitting the analogs. There are a lot of coil building experts on this forum, but I'm not one of them.. Good luck in your journey.

Bonjour, FrankVappa, Welcome to ECF!

It has done nothing but snow here, we've already had over 4 feet in the last 2 weeks, with perhaps another 2 feet from tonight's storm (lasting through Tuesday) so I suspect that's where all your rain went!

Love your screen name; IMHO Frank Zappa was the greatest composer of the 20th century....... Miss him!

Hi twgbonehead and many thanks for your welcome. Holy macaroni - 4+2 feet of snow! We had 2cms. the other day and everyone was 'ooh la la'ing for the rest of the day. I'll have to stop complaining about the drizzle (they call it 'crachin' in french.) Years' ago I spent the winter working in a French Southern Alps ski resort and I often had to clear 3 foot of powder snow that had fallen during the night just to be able to get to the door of the restaurant where I worked.

I agree with you 100% about Frank Zappa and I miss him too. I was at the Rainbow Theatre gig in London in 1971 where he was pushed off stage into the orchestra pit by some creep. Everyone was horrified - we thought Frank had been killed. I have to admit however that his work with Pierre Boulez was beyond me. I'm more into uncomplicated 60's & 70's rock.

Anyway all this is way off topic. Thanks again and have a great week.
