Welcome Stitch, and congrats on switching to vaping. Even though I'd vaped before and was sort of a dilettante of vaping for a while, I really didn't know much.
ECF was HUGELY helpful when I showed up here, ready to quit. SOMEONE had the answer to any and all questions I asked, and it's a great place to learn (honestly for me, better than a vape shop).
You can do it ALL without a (real world) vape shop, from learning DIY eliquid making to how to coil a stubborn, rebuildable coil, and how to find the right equipment for your style of vaping as you advance up the vaping ladder.
Welcome to ECF and huge congrats for the decision to switch to vaping. And, I am always THIRLLED when I hear a doctor recommend vaping to a smoker, it seems like that is happening more of late.
Welcome and a HUGE congrats. I'm so glad you are feeling better, I was amazed how I felt compared to being a 3 ppd smoker coming here with a diagnosis of "almost" COPD (I don't have that dx now) but having straight pneumonia for 18 months, more or less. I no longer even UNDERSTAND how I lived that way, vaping is a life saver for sure.
Welcome
Anna
