Here’s a true tale.
Until he and his wife moved to Portugal last year, I used to pal around with a guy from Yorkshire.
He vaped using a simple device, one up from a CE4; I think it was an old Kanger model. The chrome was scratched and there was a depression in the side as he’d wanted better airflow, didn’t have a drill to hand and had used a self tapping screw and the end of the kitchen scissors to widen out the airhole. He fired it up with Ego batteries and had an Ego to 510 adapter.
He carried around 4 of those wee batteries in a pouch he’d made from bubble wrap and sticky tape and knew which battery was which as the wraps were all different - some having flags on then some skeletons and others just in different colours.
He vaped the cheapest strongest juice he could get - 16 strength DeKang’s American Tobacco flavour which tasted like pipe goo.
Each time he’d finished vaping he took the atomiser off his battery and put it into a plastic 2 ounce sized tobacco tin along with his batteries and a spare coil. He did this because for most of his life he’d smoked roll your own cigarettes until he switched to vaping and he felt that doing things the way he did gave him a similar experience to making up cigarettes and smoking them.
His device didn't produce much vapour but, he was a guy who’d worked out what worked for him and cost him very little. While it is not a term I use or like I’d have classed him an Advanced Vaper for that very reason.
