So im official 4 years a happy vapor! Just wanted to post my thoughts over the last 4 years. I started with an eGo battery and the Protank 3 mini. I got it at my local vape shop Leet Vape the store just opened at the time. I remember it well they had a small case descended to regulated mods and the rest of the store was mechs and RDAs lol. I didn't know what mechs were and had no interest in them because you couldn't charge them by USB lol. It was hard in the beginning i keep switching back to cigs because i was not getting satisfaction from my gear. the owner (Curt)suggested i upgrade my gear so i got a MVP 2 and a Nautilas mini and that did it! that setup got me off ciggs for good this was also the beginning of the "Watt Wars", Provape was the king of mods,kangertech was the king of tanks and nobody had heard of smoktech or eleaf lol. This was the time i joined ECF and started to do my own research. As the watt wars continued the store shelf started to get replaced by mods that could go up to 30,40,50,100 watts i jumped in, started to buy mod after mod but that Nautilas stayed by my side i tried other tanks like the kanger Areo tank and the aspire Triton(IMO the tank that popularized Top-Fill) but always came back to the Nautilas but eventually i got tired of buying coils at 5 dollars a pop and through research on the ECF i got my first RDA then RTA. The Maddhatter RDA and the Griffin RTA, the hot products at the time. I learned to build on the RDA then took my skills to the RTA and be an RTA guy ever since! i learned all of my building info from ECF. I watched the vape world quickly change old companies would fall(kangertech,eleaf,provape,innokin, joyetech etc.) and new companies would rise (smok,smoant,geekvape,wismec,wootofo etc.) and i keep up with it. Now I have finally found my perfect vape A Geekvape Legend and Zeus single RTA with an RX Gen 3(with Arctic Fox Firmware),Voopoo Drag, and a Serpent SMM as back-up. I also remember vape reviewers like RIP Trippers and indoorsmokers actually putting out informative, educational reviews lol. For batteries i stuck with the Samsung 25Rs the whole time and dont plan on changing that any time soon lol. I order all my stuff online now(because its cheaper). The shop i used to frequent moved to a bigger location and now has 2 more shops in the area they are doing very well i visit the store from time to time to see the owner he even came to my wedding a year ago lol. I hope vaping will continue to grow and we win the battle against the FDA i think we will in the end wether the FDA admits it our not they NEED vaping to stomp out cigarettes for good. I think the FDA knows this is the end of cigarette as we know it and they will eventually jump on it so they can say they ended the dominance of Big Tobacco. Thanks for reading my speech lol. I know i missed alot of history but this was the way i saw it in the last 4 years. Lets all never forget we were all new vapors in the beginning and that new vapors are our lifeblood and we should continue to help them as much as possible. Thank you all for helping me be cigg free for 4 years!
