Hey ya'll

[Ealisaid]

Well hey ya'll! I'm new here and still trying to find my way around. I got my first "e-cig", a Cig2O, from a local shop a couple of months ago but wasn't happy with the expense or the supply. ($5 per cartomizer and they never had any in-stock.) My husband and I decided to try some online shopping and found ourselves ordering batteries and cartomizers, chargers, kits, more cartomizers, juice, drip-tips, even more cartomizers and even more juice. It gets kinda crazy, doesn't it? (I have to say though that every single vendor I've dealt with so far, and there have been a lot of 'em!, has been great. I haven't had a bad experience yet.)

My husband didn't last long. He went back to smoking but I've stuck with vaping. There are days when I just love it and other days when I feel overwhelmed by the amount of stuff I have already and thoughts like "Oh no! Did that break? Wait...did I just SPILL that?" I have to admit that there are times when I really miss the convenience of cigarettes.

I got tired of charging batteries all the time and ordered an Echo 1300 kit which I received yesterday. So far I'm really liking it and the longer battery life is so nice. I'm actually considering trying some DIY at some point, although I don't think I'm quite ready to take the plunge just yet. I'm still trying to absorb all the basic vaping info and it seems like there's still so much left to learn.

Thanks for listening!

Welcome!! BTW OneStopDIYShop and DIYFlavorShack both have nice DIY kits - you could compare those. ECF has a DIY section (you will be able to post elsewhere, PM, use the classifieds, once you have 5 real posts or replies in New Members and an hour wait). Read the guides in DIY

DIY e-liquid

Sounds like you are are headed in the right direction. Welcome to ECF. BTW...When I started with e-cigs in 2009 I fell off the wagon for a while...but then I realized how much I missed the taste and smell of the e-cig and got right back to it and have not looked back since. Maybe your husband will switch back again!

It gets easier (really!). Congrats to you for hanging in there. At 1300 mAh you can check battery-life off your worry list. You may encounter a few BVDs ahead (Bad Vape Days) but not one will be as bad as hacking every morning, lack of energy, having cigarette-breath... you know the list. Glad you're here

or just drop me a PM anytime.

Hello and welcome! I like your picture. But I really want to congratulate you on quitting smoking! Congrats!

PS just do it. The diy! Take the plunge, it's easy to do and I saved a ton of money.

Welcome to the forum and congrats on your echo. I'm about to foray into DIY myself. Rather than ordering juices this month, I ordered a bunch of DIY stuff...best of luck to us both, eh?!?

Hi Ealisaid. Welcome to ECF, your new favorite place to be. I was you one year ago. Hubby went back to smoking, (still does), and I felt overwhelmed too. You're doing great! Congrats!

Thanks so much for the welcome and words of encouragement! I really appreciate it.
