11 years this past april
its been a wild ride, back when i started with had joye stick style ecigs and then the big advancement in tech came out with a PCC case, then we got one of the first mods the "screwdriver", one of the biggest tech improvments back then was those things you plug into the usb port to vape without batteries those were huge
then the mega joye stick and then we got 6 volt vaping and stacked batteries were a thing for awhile ( sounds dangerous now days )
and finally eventually we got the first multi voltage ecigs but no lcd screens just a different LED color for each voltage lol
then we got the ecigs we know today, somewhere in there is provari's and GG mechs ( god those were expensive )
the original atomizer tanks, those sucked , then cartomizer tanks ( those were better ) and now rebuildables
the weirdest thing might have been the fish tank blue mesh or the tea bag method for carts lol and RY4 was the most popular e-liquid on the planet for a time
been a long journey

7 years. I don't like to count the first few months where I was just experimenting to see if vaping would work for me. That was mostly with cigalikes, blah. But they were part of my journey and got me to where I am today. Cool. 
I have to use 50/50 in my Nord coils/Bantam Box setup. My throat gets a little rough, that's why I keep it strictly for on the go.8 come November, and nothing but good side effects. Mainly PG (60-70) works for me (but everyone's different). Hi VG makes me a little "funny", but other than that, nothing negative in my case.
The fact that I was cranking out two packs a day may be a contributing factor (not sure). Breathe much?
Yes! The original Silver Bullet! 18500! But I preferred the 901s
April next year will be 10 years for me. Been DIYing for almost the whole time.

About 6 years with a slide in between. I expect your phlegm problem is to do with something else not vaping....allergies cause that sort of thing often 
Not sure, either 7 or 8 years!
Started with a Joye something that sucked, then ego bats & Vivi novas, then ego twist & novas, then a sigelli vmax & that little genni with insulated wick hole (again memory fails me).
Then a JD tech stingray & dual wick gennies.
Then VA krakens (so many krakens, I still have them all).
Then I started making my own mechs (I'm a machinist), made a bunch, still have most of em.
A collection of dual wick gennies emerged to go with the gathering number of custom mechs, still got doc Dave bliss & steam turbine.
Up till earlier this year I was still vaping my custom mechs & krakens, but glass became impossible to get, so they're retired from daily use to preserve the last of my glass.
Now I vape a Kennedy vindicator & digiflavour drop - got lazy, cbf'd making another mech right now & I wanted the all day life & harder hit of 21700.
I was a 40 a day smoker & haven't smoked a cigarette in at least 5 years.
I was always kinda fit despite the heavy smoking, maybe a bit fitter now.
Definitely cough a bunch less, far less headaches, hardly ever get sick any more & when I do it lasts 1/4 as long.
Saved 10's of thousands of $.

I am a fitness person.I think smoking does harm your fitness,stamina...anyway,I do think fitness level is more of how much you exercise or work out...smoking will reduce your stamina no doubt, but I have seen people who doesn’t smoke and doesn’t exercise a lot,has fitness worst off then people who smoked but exercise regularly.I switched to vaping from smoking to improve my stamina while doing sports...
Started vaping 10 years ago, cig free for 8 yrs. wow how time flies! I'm in better shape now than when I started. I walk and exercise daily, Tai Chi is my new favorite exercise Dr recommended it and it is helping me heal from a broken back I just found out I had. Life is good

Yes! I was being treated for bursitis in my hip but was getting horrible back pain from physical therapy exercises so Dr ordered an MRI and I found out my back had been broken. I had an impact accident years back and it hurt bad but never realized I had broken my back- yikes! It healed but not in alignment so that caused my bursitis. It has been quite the journey. I am better but it is a daily regimen of exercise and tight muscle release. Plus perfect posture work everyday
Started 8 years ago. Stopped for 5 years and just starting up again [emoji6]
