A recent vape convert. Ive been smoking and chewing skoal since I was 15 and now im going on 29. I felt like crap, coughed all the time and had to deal with family and friends always telling me they loved me too much to see me die of lung cancer. Over the last year or so I had tried disposable e-cigs of various kinds and always hated them. I could never understand how anyone could possibly say they were as good or better than cigs. Recently, the GF has been asking me when im going to stop smoking and how she cares about me etc so I decided to do some research. Went to the local smoke shope and picked up a "Puff" brand starter kit with a refilable top. I got a bottle of the 18mg johnson creek regular smoke juice and started my journey. First impression, OMG wow this is what people are talking about! I loved it, I loved the taste, the clouds of white vape and most importantly the fact my GF would kiss me afterwards. So now begins my spiral into obsession.... After tons of research my mind is BLOWN by the money that can be spent on this stuff. Even though im really happy with my 30 dollar kit theres a part of me that wants a 200+ dollar variable voltage lightsaber vape..The funny thing is, I dont even know why I just want more and more. I was lucky and realized the other day that mister-e-liquid is actually based right here in grand rapids. I paid a visit to the store and talked with the manager, watched them make the ejuice and sampled a good 20+ flavors. I walked out with some mt dew flavor, bubble gum and a flavor called blue voodoo. Let me just say this, OMFG! delicious. Right now ive got a mix of mt dew and blue voodoo in the ole vape stick and have been going crazy. I feel like im vaping too much but really have no idea. I may go through 3.2ml of juice a day. Is this considered normal? O well, just wanted to introduce myself and ramble a bit about my new found love. Look forward to learing from this great community.

That may be a bit more than I vape, but eveyone is different. You will find your rhythm and figure it out pretty fast. Welcome to the community!
Yeah I understand that "wanting more" feeling! These little gadgets are fun, and if you like to tinker with things, then there is a whole world waiting for you!
Welcome to the forum! Michigander and a Grand Rapidian is a great combo.(Before moving to the "tip of the Mitt" I was born and raised in GR). As to buying more and more I would suggest moving slow and doing plenty of research on your purchases. Over the past 3 years I've purchased 5 mechanical apv's and still use them all. I purchased USA made devices that are well machined from premium materials and I'm very pleased with all of them. Was every purchase really needed?....no. Yet each device complements my vaping experience. As to juice consumption, it depends on equipment used and percentage of nicotine. From reading on the forum it can run from 1 ml to as much as 10 ml. I use about 5 ml a day.
The hackin and coughin, gettin the "we love u too much" speech, not to mention the raspiness in ur voice are well on their way out of ur life!! 
Now u can look forward to breathing better, the "way to go" speeches and your voice changing! After a couple of weeks vaping, i was surprised at the sound of my own voice (did that really come out of me)? LOL ;-)

Welcome to the Forum! Yes, get ready, it's definitely an obsession. So much fun! I am embarrassed to even admit how much I've spent on vape stuff.
OMG, you remind me of.... well.... me lol . Enjoy yourself, the way i look at it, the more fun it is the less I will think about cigs. I estimate I was spending approx $330 a month on cigarettes. So yeah I have a bit of freed up income to buy and try cool things and find what I like.
So, enjoy, splurge a little, find your perfect vape and get cool toys. In the long run you will save money and be healtier. Best of luck on your new journey.

I'm not, I'm embarrassed at how much I used to spend on cigarettes lol
Thanks for the warm welcome everyone! I will def be lurking around here quite a bit. Thanks for the kind words and encouragment. Aart, I absolutely love grand rapids. Moved up here in Jan from southern indiana. Beautiful state! Ive spent so much time going from beach to beach up the west coast this summer. If you find your way to graps soon stop by mister e cig cig store on south division. I swear I dont work there!! Was just really impressed. Vape on!

I just bought a light saber (provari), plus two dbox clearomizers, plus extra coils, plus some nitelite juice (a months worth)...and still spent less than I would on a months worth of camels. Go figure.
Boy do I get that "spiral into obesssion"!

Welcome Greg!
