Just another noob

[Freddy Mac]

Glad to be here. Been lurking. Figured I should get posting. My name is Freddy and smoked for 30 years. I'm from Poway Cali but reside in Virginia beach Va. Last month I decided to quit and try the e cig thing. Got me a unit with a cheap tank and used it for a couple days til I met a guy using a dripper. He let me try it. I fell in love. With the dripper not him. Lol. He sold one of his beaters. It was a TEC mech mod with a chimbus. Week later I upgraded to a poldiac. Freddy model. Just worked out that way. Was meant to be I guess. Then I got 2 clones. Chi and nemmy. Fast forward to about a little over a month into it and I now have a turtleship, poldiac and in transit. An authentic chi, nemmy and gold ba gua. I love clouds and sub ohming. I learned a lot in a short period of time. From lurking on boards YouTube and the guy who pushed me down this slippery slope. I been getting really good at builds. I really like this hobby and don't even care to smoke. Not even a crave. So weird. This really works. But it's killing my bank account haha. Thanks for having me.

Welcome and congratulations! Wow! sub-ohms, building coils, real-deal Nemesis mods! Sounds like you jumped right into the deep end of the pool. I started on the steps in the shallow end and in four months have gone from Blu's to egos to Itaste VV to vamo to a Nemmy clone and from evods, to protanks and vivis and then into the genesis style attys.

It is a wonderful journey and i agree it's almost weird to not have had a single craving or care about smokes after 27 years at a pack a day! Any question you have you will find the answer in this forum! Keep moving forward and keep on vaping, once you find the perfect set-up the expenses go way down.

its hard on the wallet at first but you will save money in the long term... as long as you don't buy a new high end mod every pay check.

Thanks for the warm welcome. Yea I had help going down the slope. Kind of glad he kept me from buying all the junk just to end up getting where I am now.

Sounds like you have a lil guardian vapor angel guiding you! I coulda used one! Didn't waste too much money to get where I am at, but also not into the more advanced stuff that you are either. Kinda jealous! lol I had my last analog in April and was surprised how easy(kinda) that switching to vaping was. Very glad I made the switch. As to saving money, prob not yet, but I am good in supplies for @least 3 months, but still spend money on toys and juices to change it up. fun stuff! Post any tips you have from a newer vaper as to the "jumps" that are worthwhile for the vaping exsperience. Thanks!

Welcome to the forum!

It's pretty amazing what an easy transition it is from smoking to vaping. Especially for us that have smoked for many years.

Congrats on being a non-smoker!!

Welcome and congrats on switching. I'll be one year smoke free in six days. Sounds like you jumped in with both feet. Took me about a month to get to where you're at.
