Hey all! New here

Hi everyone

Simply getting an introduction post in but might as well share a bit about myself here!

I'm 29, used to be a pretty heavy smoker for a few years in my early 20s. At my worst my addiction had me burning through 2 packs a day, average 1 pack. It was brutal, I felt and smelled like crap 24/7 and it was just hemorrhaging money from my pocket but I could not quit for the life of me. Just have that addictive gene I guess. I can't remember how I found out about it, but I got into e-cigs with a over-priced POS cig-a-like and just snowballed from there.

At a certain point I was spending just as much money on vape gear but luckily it's calmed down since I found something I really liked. My daily driver for a while has been a Triade 250c mod + CSMNT rda. Even got into DIY juice to save a few more bucks!

If you've read all that, thank you for your time

I love reading that, amouthforwar. Congratulations on your success.

I think it's a common experience for vape discovery to be costly, until you find that "daily driver", and then it all stabilizes, and life is so much better.

(belatedly) to ECF mouthforwar. So glad that you are here and congrats on the vaping. I sure wish vaping had been around when I first started smoking. It is all about finding what works for you. Everyone is different. Enjoy and make yourself at home.

Welcome to ecf @amouthforwar

I just stumbled upon your mixes over at All The Flavors after reading a comment you made about one of ID10-Ts creations there.

Hello there amouthforwar.​

Like you I was a 3 pack a day smoker... well 3 packs on Fridays. Between the stress of financial paperwork for a volunteer fire company, and dj the same night at the firemen's club, from dawn to dusk I had a lit cigarette in my hand.

Long story short, I've been smoke free for almost 3 years thanks to vaping.

My favorite setup lately has been Oxva Arbiter on a Dovpo Odin. But doing reviews I usually have a dozen things on my desk.

Also like you, DIY mixing has really hammered in the crafting aspect of vaping. It's even become the main focus on a weekly live stream where I review random recipes from ELR (e-liquid recipes). There are literally thousands of recipes people made, but don't have reviews on them. So why not help the community by throwing my subjective opinion in so a new DIY'r doesn't try to mix a bad recipe. And obviously we try to improve them if they aren't as good as they could be.

BTW your user name is a perfect candidate for Vape Advocacy to help the cause.
