My name is shawn, going as windozehater (refers to my fondness for Linux) just like a lot of the newbie posts been reading for a long time, ok 3 months... "since i became serios about vaping". first off i really like commas,,, and run on sentences, so with that out of the way. i have been smoking an avg. of two packs a day since i was 15, so twenty years. about two years ago i bought a gas-station disposable and saw the potential but never got a second one. back in january of this year i bought a mistic and some refills at walmart with the best of intentions, it didnt go far, cartos were expensive for what you gotand it seemed wastfull throwing all of that hardware away, i have no idea why i never searched the web for somthing different at that time,i still cant believe i thought that was as good as it got. fast forward to june and stopped at a mall kiosk,(yeh i know better now) it really wowed me, they had a great strawberry. the salesdick (Totally Vapor)said they were the original, the best, all natural, after smelling all of that BS that sent me to the porn machine, and i ordered a cheap ego kit from deal extreme, that was neat for about a week till the battery grenaded. so i swallowed my pride and was relived of 200 bones at the mall (thinking more than i should that maybe they did have better quality) got 1 ego batt, carto tank, a charger, and 30ml of juice (still sore) considering Revolver had a store 6 blocks away, didn't know and didn't know to look. any-hoo i've got proper equipment now from good people and good (&bad) juice, still looking to nail that strawberry again, but i wont give those crooked p%!@k's a the satisfaction of going back if my life depended on it. since than i've been having lots of fun, found i have a new obsesion, not to mention been analog free since the middle of june.
i decided to start posting today (registered a while ago) been seeing a lot of posts that i wanted to get in on, so here it goes. i'm gonna try to break the current trend of posting nonsense till your cleared, and make mine somewhat relevant. hope i can help and maybe be helped in someway. well there it is my first post, i apologize in advance for any ettiquite i brake, i've only used two others forums, ever, i just feel compelled to contribute here, very passionate about vaping.
thanks for watching,, hear ya later:p

Welcome Shawn - I can relate to trying out some not so good ecigs before finding something worthwhile. Those not so good ones kept me off the cigarettes though and at the time I thought they were life savers. Well they were really. So you've been cig free for about two months - congrats! :toast: Nice first post, and good to hear a bit about your vaping journey.

very true, without them i would not have aspired for better
Welcome to ECF,

While the mall place might have been a rip there is another way to look at it. That 200 spent there was a lot cheaper then the hospital bills from smoking related illness. Yes you could have gotten a better deal, but it still is what got you going down the road to better health.
