Whats going on ECF?
New guy to the forums here, still relatively new to vaping itself also! Decided I would stop lurking around in the forums, and start actually posting here so I can become a part of the community.
I have been blown away by the sheer amount of knowledge held by both the members, as well as the threads that are already in place here. Every question I have had thus far has had an answer on this site, and Im sure if I cant find it, somebody will be able to answer it.
Before I start off on a tangent, I should probably give some background about myself. You can refer to me by my Username here, or just call me Matt, either way, Ill know who you mean. I'm from Upstate NY, and have slowly been working myself into the vaping community over the past few months! I had been a smoker for about 8 years, on and off for the past 2-3. Definitely younger than a lot of the crowd here(22), but I also decided that enough was enough and I wanted to get myself healthy and off of Analogs while I was still young, and able to do so easier. I had tried quitting cold turkey a few years back, and that stuck for about a month before I was back to it, then about 2 years ago I discovered vaping, and bought myself a cheap gas station Ego setup with a terrible clearomizer on top(Think clone of the worst clearo out there in that time). With this setup I was never satisfied and found myself still smoking more than vaping, eventually going back to smoking full time. About a year after that I decided to try again with vaping, and took a trip to my local Vape Shop(Now that there finally was a shop in my area), this puts me at about the end of 2014, start of 2015. I was purely vaping on an Original Atlantis and the aspire CF Sub Ohm battery they had out at the time. This worked for about a month, but I still found myself back to analogs. Fast forward to October 2015, my Aspire setup had sat in a drawer untouched for about 8 months at this point. I woke up one day and decided that enough was enough, and went down to my local shop, bought a new coil and some juice, and told myself this was it. After a few days with the setup again I started to lose interest, until I tried out my friends Mech setup. This was a Penny Mod clone, with a Turbo RDA on top. Nothing special, but it opened my eyes to a setup that would completely hook me on vaping. I couldnt get enough of it, the throat hit I was looking for was there, the flavor was umatched, and the visual of a cloud coming out completely satisfied all of the things I was lacking on my Aspire setup. After this I went home, ordered myself a cheap clone RDA and Mod, and the rest is history. I have made it since October 4th without a single analog, and I dont even think about them anymore. I have slowly started to make everything about vaping a hobby. I have started making my own juice, have been really pushing myself to get good at coils, and to keep expanding my knowledge. Now I am looking forward to joining this community, and learning as much as I can about this hobby, to keep pushing myself forward, and keep finding new and fun things.
So, now that Im done rambling, I guess its time for me to stop lurking, and start sharing in these threads, and start asking for advice as I start to progress in my abilities.
TL;DR: Went from Analogs to Vaping finally, made it a hobby, ready to learn more.
So, yeah thats All I got. I cant wait to start becoming a part of this community!
