Ok gang, So I finally decided to sign up and become an official member of ECF! Though I am new to posting I have been lurking around in the shadows for several months and peeeking through the windows reading as much as possible on everything from the latest in E-cig technology, product and vendor reviews, E-liqiud reviews....ect...ect.
I must say that this community is amazing! I have learned so much information that I could never have had I just surfed the web reading bias vendor reviews and getting much misleading information in my quest to totally research every aspect of vaoing as an alternative to analog smoking.
It has now been 3 months since I smoked my last analog cigarette and my lungs have never felt better!
To give you a brief background. I went from a 2 pack a day smoker to a little over a pack a day until I discovered my first E-cig which was a FUMA 2 piece design I purchased at a convience store in a small town in Ohio.
I was fortunate that my first experience was more than favorable. The FUMA brand E-Cig was actually not to bad for a beginner and based on other stories from friends whom tried Blue Cig, Smoke Tips and mall brands where their experiences were less than convincing to even bother trying the electronic technology. Most if not all of them eventually got discouraged and went back to analogs claiming e-cigs were just not effective enough to totally abstain from conventional smoking.
This type of negative feedback only encouraged me more to really explore the market and thus brought me to this very website! As a result I spent countless hours reading about other peoples success stories and learned that I had options that I never imagined possible that was offered here in the way of reputable vendors, inexpensive starter kits and better ways to get the most for your time and money simply by taking the iniciative to expand my mind into reading all I could on this forum litterally covering about each and every section.
To make a long story short and thus not bore any readers of my initial post I can say that I am the proud owner of over a half a dozen different personal vaping devices, including a passthrough as well an entire arsenol of tasty e-juices, hundreds of cartomizers,atomizers, drip tips and various types of batteries all for a fraction of what I could have paid had I been deterred by the many over priced vendors that seem to almost prey upon the uneducated consumer.
As a result of all my personal research on ECF and the helpful community of members here I now consider myself a step above novice standing as a vaping enthusiest, Enough so that when I eventually meet my minimum newbie posting requirement I am fully ready to unleash some of my personal experiences and reviews of some outstanding products I have come to give recognition for towards my ultimate success in totally abstaining from smoking forever!
I was a bit apprehensive at joining in the beginning as I felt I had nothing really to offer the community though later learned there is always questions popping up that despite my knowledge thus far there never really is a stupid question when it comes to gaining more insight into the world of vaping!
Rather than go on and on with may be trivial information to some...feel free to shoot some questions at me and I will do my best to give non long winded responses.
I am very excited about hopefully the possibility of someday offering my experiences to help other newbies in their questions and concerns as I once had when starting vaping for the first time and trying to choose the best devices that suit an indivivduals needs.
This has been a very positive turning point in my life andI never would have imagined I woulod one day become so emersed in something that has now become a hobby as well of an effective way for me to never go back to destroying my body with analogs again!
I'm still in the process of building my profile and haven't even added a picture or avatar as of this writing. Probs goes out to Grimm Green whom ultimately steered me to this website and invoked my interest in taking this learning experience to a whole other level!
Look for my upcoming reviews on Vendors I have had positive experiences with as well my exclusive review of Cig Easy"s Elegant Easy 750mAh KR808D-1 style PV device as well the more recently released Elegant Easy XXL 1300mAh model!
Thanks to all that took the time to read this small epic post and thanks in advance for any feedback on this particular thread!
Currently back in the gym and have resumed my intense cardio program thanks to my newfound endurance and increased lung capacity. I am a former massive heart attack survivor from 2006 and feel better than I did in my twenties!
Thanks for all those at ECF for making this website an intigral part of my achievement to a much healthier and happier lifestyle!
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays folks!

which would have probably been deemed inappropiate for a newbie posting such a comprehensive response in a section intended for the purpose of introductions and not intensively scientific experimentations involving my experiences with variants in cartomizers.
