I don't remember much anymore lol, but some leaps stand out in my mind.

When genesis tanks started to become popular and at least a few vendors started selling SS mesh. Once that thing was built right, it was a whole 'nother vape.

When folks were first experimenting using cotton as a wick. I remember trying it (stuffing in way too much cotton) and thinking nope, doesn't last long enough lol. I'm glad others didn't drop it as fast as I initially did.

When Rip Trippers wasn't a caricature of himself lol.

So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on 'em. Give me five bees for a quarter, you'd say.

Ok Grampa Simpson! (do I get a cookie? lol )

I remember ordering some silica wick and some pre-coiled silica from fastech, and by the time I got them in, nobody was using it and had went to cotton. Anybody need some silica?

I see your silica, and raise you some ekowool! :lol:

    Oh, the memories. I am an oldster cause I remember most of the things mentioned. Does anyone remember the filler things, something like 'who's your mama' and who's your daddy'?

    Who was the person who loved the 801 penstyle? That was my fav for awhile. I recently donated a huge bag of that batt filler that was all the rage. I mastered dripping and could do it without taking my eyes off the road.

    I remember winning a contest from DC2 and getting some little pink mod, can't remember the name.

    Also remember winning my first contest the first month I was on ecf. I got 2nd place to fivecardstud. He choose the screwdriver and I got the kr8 kit. It was funny cause we live in the same area and joined ecf the same day.

    I had a Mr Puffer and also remember when someone from another country took preorders for his planned computerized PV. Never got off the ground and I think some folks lost money, I had decided not to pay up front. Shortly after that the Provari came on the scene doing exactly what was being lusted after.

    I can remember Scott Igetcha doing 901 reviews sitting in his bedroom bed :)
    And the Kr808 PCC kits that were so neat but didn't accomodate the lovely Flavor 4 Life batteries!

    When deleting some watched threads I ran into these two that just need to be linked on this thread. Many fond memories!

    This short one talks about the first vari's sold---and if interested in actual history, do look at the link to "Battery Voltages -- Surprise" from 2010, which is often credited for the idea of vv and vw for e-cigs.

    VV Mod History Question

    And -- for fun and laughter --- this one by ProfBrad12 from 2011 is actually still very applicable! (read at least the first post)
