Ah, that makes sense.

Thanks for the welcome ladies and gents.

I'll tell you guys a little bit about my vaping history to introduce myself and see what recommendations you guys might have.

I started Vaping sometime around the middle of September. I'd been a pretty heavy dipper, at my peak I was going through 1 to 1 1/2 tins a day of various Skoal flavors. I was introduced to it my Sophomore year of college as something that would help you feel more intoxicated while drinking. I quickly started dipping while not drinking and enjoyed the effects of Nicotine while doing most things; driving, video games, work, etc.

As I got older I started to pay more attention to other's perception of dipping and found it difficult to at bars, work, etc and went on and off of it for a few years. I quit dipping towards the end of June this year and started to feel like I was missing something. I had pretty much sworn off dip at this point and started getting the urge to smoke cigars. While I enjoyed cigars, they too had their downsides (stinking up your clothing, taking a long time to burn through and the expense). This is when I realized that I was most likely missing the nicotine.

Now, most people who vape seem to be ex-smokers but that wasn't my case as my father had succumbed to Lung Cancer when I was young. So, instead of smoking cigars or getting into cigarettes I decided to give Ecigs a shot by signing up for a free trial of Njoy. Njoy gave me the nicotine but had abysmal vapor production and it wasn't satisfying.

At this point, I Googled electronic cigarettes near me, found a local B&M and got into it very quickly. At first I was a bit apprehensive of the initial cost and was skeptical of whether or not that it'd work for me. That being said, I was pretty frugal at first and only purchased an Evod tank, a Vision spinner and 3 bottles of juice.

A week or two later after doing a fair amount of research I was looking for an upgrade but wasn't sure whether to get a Mech mod or an adjustable voltage mod. I ended up going with a Vamo V3.

The Vamo V3 lasted me a few weeks before I wanted more. I started reading up more and more about mech mods and browsing through a few forums. I had ordered some Steam Turbine clones, and got in a group buy on a Nemesis. While waiting for the Nemesis I was inquiring about mech mods with the local shop, I went in, bought an Octopus and an Indulgence from them and had one of their guys teach me how to rebuild it.

After learning how to rebuild I found myself more confident in it, started wrapping my own coils on my Steam Turbines, tried out a few other RDA/RBAs; Squid, Nimbus clone, and Cobra.

Since I was unemployed and spending more and more time at the local B&M they eventually decided to have me help out with an event that they were hosting. Within 1-2 weeks after rebuilding I was to teach a class during their juice launch party. The event was a success and people commented that they enjoyed the class that I taught. A week or two later they offered me a job and I've been working their part time ever since.

After more and more reading I eventually got into making juices. At first I was making it at the shop here and there, last week I pulled the trigger and bought a bunch of supplies to do it at my house.

Currently, I find myself vaping 0.45 ohm dual coils on either my Octopus or Nimbus Clones, on a Magneto with Sony 30A batteries.
