My wife can spend 15 Minutes deciding between 2 Brands of ketchup at the grocery store if the one she usualy grabs is out.

OT-

I don't want to be sexist, but maybe it's a male, female thing. We were going to get bikes for exercise. He went to the bike store, told them he wanted a good bike and bought one in about 10 minutes. The price gave me heart palpitations. I get the Consumer Reports, research online. Then scour Craigs List for a used one in case I don't use it a lot and drive an hour to look at bikes. By the time I got there most were gone but managed to get one. He just rolled his eyes a lot.

--But guess who's still using their bike and who's bike is sitting in the basement! :laugh:

I did fall a few weeks ago because it's a pretty crappy bike.

That was a big draw for me too. Accurate and methodical information i can use not just hype to sell something.
I lurked for less than 5 minutes. I have a strong chemistry/science background, so I quickly figured out that this crew was putting out good information, rather than the "our stuff is better" that so many of the vendor based sites throw.

Glad you are a member, mafig!
 
I lurked for about a month, registered and then this last semester of grad school took over my life. If I ever remember who gave me a pack of cloves when I went off to my sociology masters program and told me, "If it gets too stressful, smoke one and lock the rest up for three months," there will be a reckoning. That actually worked until I ended up with one of my two roommates being a very stress inducing individual.

Right now I'm using the 501-T and the EGO-T and loving it, the only issue is that I've yet to find a reliable cleaning method and I tend to get that damnable burnt taste from time to time.

I lurked around for about a half a year before registering/purchasing my first PV. I was apprehensive in the beginning to spend the money since it was all foreign to me. A combination of this forum and YT are my two main information hubs on all things vapor related. I don't have my Bulli A2-T yet but I have learned all about maintenance, modifications and alternatives just by keyword searching on this board in the meantime. It's awesome.
