I once was lost

[WalterEgo]

Hi everybody -
I have been a smoker for about 25 years. A buddy had an e-cig and I was amazed, then excited at the prospect. I jumped right in, found the first reasonable looking ad, and made an order. That night I discovered ECF. I canceled my order and read some more. Finally I decided to go with a 510 kit - the Riva 1100. I also have some juice on order from Backwoods Brew and Vaperite. I will report back my experiences from the perspective of a 46 yr old smoking noobie.
I can't wait!

Thanks to all you for sharing this wealth of information.

Cheers!

You won't be sorry. I have converted 10 people in the last 3 weeks! Pretty soon no one I hang with will have analogs to tempt me

I've always been a gear junkie - this could be dangerous :O

Your enthusiasm is great WalterEgo. welcome to ECF. Yes, there's a wealth of information here, overwhelming by most accounts. Lots of friendly folks (and a few obnoxious but knowledgeable ones) to help you out, should you have questions.


vape On!

Welcome Walter, you made a good choice, you should be happy with the results you get from your Riva. if you have any questions at all, just ask .. people here love to help.

If you are going to be a gear junkie, at least save some money .. here's a couple ECF posts that can help you do that:

Welcome to ECF and the wonderful world of vaping!

I think you'll be really happy with the 510. And this forum is grand for sure. Good luck with vaping.

Welcome to ECF. Being a gear junkie can be a little dangerous. I figure I'll break even in 6 months IF I stop buying anything more right now. OOPs, just saw another good deal (LOL).

*sigh* I was about to say 4 months, but that link to "Deals and Steals" just got me. Looks like it'll be close to 8 now.

Welcome aboard and feel free to get lost in the forest. It's fun in here!

Well, if you're gonna dive in feet first, eventually you'll wanna use one of these with your Riva.

Great thanks Cleo. And...another Minnesotan I see!

Wow that looks cool. Let me get my bearings with my original order then I'll be looking for more gadgets - that looks like a fun one. Well done!

There are a lot of us around here .. even a few vendors - Vermillion River e-juice is in Apple Valley and frankly, the best e-juice on the planet. Just got a restock today. There's a few others too, SuperT, OneStoyDIYshop, CreateVapor, NicVape. I've been very happy with the Minnesota Vendors, they prove to me over and over that Minnesota people are the best!

There's a forum just for MN Vapers too .. check it out here: MN Vapers Seems like they meet once a month, although I haven't been able to make a meeting yet.

Whereabouts are you? I"m in Richmond. (Just west of St Cloud) Maybe we can carpool to the next meet .. lol

Peace,
cleo

OK that's it - I couldn't take the pressure any longer - my defenses were broken down - I really do NEEEEEEED that tank. I ordered it. Looks cool. (thanks for the suggestion)

Hey Cleo -
That's awesome. Thanks so much for the local connection info. I'm in Zimmerman, so not too far from you. It would be great to know of some local shops where one could stop & pick up some good juice & accessories. I would love to attend a get-together. I'm hooked - I've ordered something every day this week - should make my next few days fun...
