Hi - I'm new to vaping and so glad I found this forum. But in the past 9-10 days, I've spent almost 3 whole days reading here and googling, watching you tube vids, etc. Is this normal for a newbie?

I think it is. It was like that for me, at least. That continued for probably the first 3 to 4 months. Then it was just a few minutes a day. I logged back in a couple days ago for probably the first time in 4 months, I just wanted to get back in touch with what was new and changing. Hang in there... ecf is like life support during such a major life change and without it I may not have stuck with it.
Welcome and good luck!

Same with me, hours and hours spent on ECF. Get used to it. I've learned a lot here though. 
Spent about two months prior to my first purchase reading here and then became a member about the second week into vaping.
Im at 90 days in and still come here a couple times a day. Theres always new stuff, new techniques and of course, new members to help along.

It feels like the only time I'm not on ECF is when I'm placing orders after reading something here.
Hours and hours 
Bit it's a great place to learn, ask advice and have a laugh with other like minded people. Don't be afraid to ask questions - no matter how stupid they may seem, we all started out as newbys.

I've spent tons of time here, and picked up quite a lot. There's so much information!
Way too much. It is almost overwhelming.
The worst part is, the more you read, the more you realize you bought the wrong thing and now JUST HAVE to buy this new improved one.

Yeh its normal. I got lucky though. I get insomnia a lot so I spent about 24 solid no-sleep hours reading here and watching youtubes then found my kit, ADV juice and, still, go-to vendor after that all in the same place with great shipping. Then, like a fool, while happy with what I had, I kept on reading and spent bundles mostly on what turned out to be yuck juices and flavorings to DIY. What a waste when I had already found what I'm still happy using eight months later. I still do DIY also but also still buy my very first juice ever tried. I've learned not to jump on every new thing that comes along and not get tempted by anyone's "Oh this is so awesome" taste buds. I'm still here reading but mostly to help instead of buy. I love this community and the caring support it gave me. I try to pay it forward.

At first I spent a lot of time here. I didn't know anyone who vaped and I had many questions, which were patiently answered. I spend quite a bit of money finding what I like, but that's okay because I didn't spend it on cigarettes.
I still come here to learn about what's new and to share my experience a bit, if I can. I don't feel compelled to buy everything now, but it is interesting to me to see what is new.

I've been at this for nearly 10 months...and I still come here daily to learn. There's always something new to try, some new juice to explore, some little (or big) problem to solve, yada, yada. In the beginning there were all of those little medical/withdrawal symptoms to find out about. ECF and youtube are my new BFFs. (OMG I'm a 60 year old using BFF in a forum)
So patkin, care to share what that "first juice ever" is?Yeh its normal. I got lucky though.

thanks for the laugh - definitely needed it - having major cravings for those nasty old killers.
