Well here goes, I am 43 years old married with two grown children and two grandkids.
Our Granddaughter is 3 an we have custody of her. I live in upstate NY.
I ran my own business right from high school (1984) to 2005, then sold it.
Since then I have worked part time a two different hospitals (for health insurance while the wife completed her RN program)
Currently I am a stay at home Granddad.... I have a great admiration for full time parents now
It's hard work.
I spend my day cleaning, cooking, doing laundry, grocery shopping and taking care of the little one.
My wonderful wife works full time as a Registered Nurse on an oncology floor.
I enjoy anything outdoors, hiking, biking, skiing, etc.
Basically if you should wear a helmet to do it...... I like it !!
Most of my time is spent vaping and building 50cc 2 stroke motor scooters.
I take quiet little 100 mpg scooters that go 35 miles per hour .......
When I am done they are loud, get 25 mpg and go 70 mph. You do that on a 10" wheel and you feel like your going 160
Thats about it.

I am Cindy, 54...ugh ! Grandmother to 6 ! (3 are a matched set)
Grew up moving every couple of years, Kansas, Texas, Oklahoma, Tennessee, back to Kansas. Got married, moved to California. Was a dental assistant for 15 years and had my own stained glass business for 15 years too...(and I can solder !) Moved to Florida in '03 and have been working as a teller in a bank. I am going to win the lotto someday !! (yeah right !) Been married to this husband for almost 31 years.
I LOVE survivor !!! Watch Law and Order, NCIS.....NASCAR...I read everything I get my hands on ! I research anything I don't know about-(that's my personal OCD !). And for the most part, if it's broken...I can fix it ! Two parrots and two cats.
That's my ramble !

I live in NY, on Long Island, with my husband and three young adult offspring. vaping has helped me kick a 36 year smoking habit (yes, I'm that old) and I'm ready to break the law to stay a part of the vaping community as an active vaper. Martin Luther King said, "... One who breaks an unjust law must do it openly, lovingly...I submit that an individual who breaks a law that conscience tells him is unjust, and willingly accepts the penalty by staying in jail to arouse the conscience of the community over its injustice, is in reality expressing the very highest respect for law." That's where my head is as we face opposition to that which may ultimately save my life.
The thing about smoking is how simple it is to get to the smoke. All you need is a cancer stick and a match and off you go until you stub it out. Vaping requires more intervention to get to the vapor and a more direct route is what I've been looking to solve for (without filler) ever since I outgrew the NJOY. I have, as a result, a WetBox, Phidias, MAP tanks, a VapeMate (should be here today), CE2 cartomizers and, of course, a Reo Grand. Each feeder system does its job incredibly well and differently.
How lucky am I to have this many choices and so much fun? All the vaping gear I leap at like some mad, mad fiend keeps me vaping steadily without having to try too hard. Easy is good.
I always love seeing Deb's tag line. Happiness, for a vaper, really is a full mail box.

Oh, and I have ADD (used to be ADHD but not so hyper these days- I think that happens with age)... I think vaping helps my ADD considerably! It's a good thing
I have a friend around here who is also managing his ADD/ADHD/ETC. with nicotine in order to avoid the side-effects of aderol and other drug treatments for it. Vaping has certainly made this more viable (literally) for him.
That's good to hear...I didn't put 2 and 2 together about how I was "self-medicating" with cigarettes until I stopped that and started vaping and reading. They are prescribing nicotine pills to kids now w/ ADD/ADHD and some of the newer stimulant drugs they use for this act on the same receptor sites in the brain that nicotine does...it's all very interesting and useful information for me.
Hi. I am sashwa and just turned 61 - wonder how that happened. 
I am retired from my county's Social Services in the Welfare Fraud Department with 30+ years under my belt. Retiring was one of the best things I've done. It was also way overdue by a couple of years - job burnt out and not rolling with all the changes in Welfare regulations here in CA but that's another story.
I was born and raised in a small town in Ct. At 18 I left for the Marine Corps where I served for 3 years.
I have a 38 yr old daughter and 2 fantastic grandsons as well as a great SIL.
The real sashwa is a 15 yr old PixieBob whom has owned me since she was 7 weeks old. Ben the Dog is a rescue and I've had him for about 18 months. The Vet thinks he's around 3 years old. I find it funny that Sash and Ben weigh about the same - 14 lbs.
The most important thing is that I have been smoke free since 7am on 9/5/2010.

Since I am the proud owner of a new green and black mini that I named "sweet pea", I thought it appropriate to introduce myself!
My name is Jamie and I am 33 and live in the outskirts of Pittsburgh. I am married to a wonderful guy named Dan and we have an awesome little boy named Mason who will be 4 at the end of May. I work full time as and xray tech at a local hospital. I work steady nights, which works out great for my family, but not so much for my sleep, lol. I enjoy reading, taking pictures, photoshop and digital scrapbooking. I am so happy to have found ECF because it has really helped in my vaping journey, and specifically the REO forums! Here is a pic of my husband and I, followed by a pic of our little man ♥....
HAPPY VAPING EVERYONE!

What the heck...
I am Laura and I am 42. I have a wonderful husband, we have a daughter who is 8, and his two daughters 19 and 27. Been married 13 years.
I love that I have a very large family base between his family and mine and love them all!
I am an Administrative Assistant for a company that does Bridge Construction all over the United States (I don't have to travel - I work at the home office). We build new bridges, fix old bridges and in the past three years have started working on several Railroad Bridges including building the tallest one in USA in Boone, IA. It is very interesting work.
I love camping, Nascar, Criminal shows (NCIS, Criminal Minds, etc), watching my stepdaughter's College Basketball games, my daughter's art and writing and last but for sure not least - God, Family and Friends!

I'm Patty. I got my first "e-cig" kit on October 1, 2009 and smoked my last cigarette on October 2, 2009
Although I'm a native Floridian, I lived most of my adult life in Indiana and Washington State. A little over a year ago, I retired and moved back to my home state to be closer to my family. Retirement is great! It's nice to be able to do pretty much whatever I want, whenever I want, and not have to worry about looming deadlines and other workplace stresses!

I'm Gary, been off the analogs for almost three months, thanks to vaping. I'm a soon to be REONaut, after having experimented with quite a few different models of stock and modded e-cigs. I'm originally from IN, and currently working in western NY. Single, with not dependants. No pets, since my job's mostly travel, but I do have a porcupine tattoo. Also I enjoy word games, classic cars and motorcycles and a host of other things.
I'm ted, I retired a Marine after 32. Forced into it after earning the 3rd star on my Purple Heart. Hopper was my nick name and hoppy just kind of stuck. I, like unsure, lost my oldest Son. He to was a Marine. Enlisted the week I graduated High School, Married 7 weeks later. We've been married 39 years. And had our first child of 8 10 years later. My wife continued school and became an MD. Retired 6 years ago, quit smoking 5 months ago. We received full custody of a 13 year old granddaughter 5 years ago. I have 2 Shelties and live on a lake, (Lanier) 30 miles North of Atlanta and about 15 miles South of the Smokie Mountains. I fish most days and like to be home prior to Madison getting home from school.

We have 11 Grand children and 2 on the way O and i almost forgot, I'm addicted to Greys Anatomy
