Hey, just signed up to the site(particularly looking for opinions on a specific rta which I'll post in the appropriate sub-forum) and thought I'd say hello as suggested.
Just for the hell of it, here's a little summary of my smoking/vaping history... I started smoking in high school and smoked through high school into my early twenties and was up to two packs a day when I decided to quit cold turkey one day. That was around fifteen years ago I haven't had a cigarette since and have no desire to have one. But I always enjoyed the act of smoking itself, the ritual and the feeling of inhaling and exhaling. I was "addicted" to that more than the nicotine. And suffering from anxiety I think the conscious act of being forced to focus on breathing helped. It's also a good opportunity to go and take a moment for myself when needed.
Anyway, up until recently all I knew of vaping was cigalikes, which I had tried in the past, and they simply weren't my thing. But then I discovered that vaping was much more, with a variety of mods, DTL vaping, RBAs and DIY ejuice. So, I did my due diligence, weighed the risks and decided as far as vices go, and the daily things I do that are not the healthiest, it was a relatively safe hobby/habit. And then I jumped right into RBAs and DIY ejuice. I bought a wasp nano and a single 18659 mod. At first I though dripping would add to the experience, but I vape enough that it's become an annoyance more than anything. Same goes charging/changing batteries, therefor I've moved onto a dual battery mod and I am now looking for a flavor focused single coil RTA. I've done a lot of research and have narrowed it down, and as said I am looking for some opinions on a specific tank(which if interested in commenting on you can check out the thread I'll start in the RBA section).
Anyway, that was a long hello, thanks for your time.
