Hello fellow vapors!
I've been vaping since Sept of last year, which is also the last time I used any tobacco product. I was a moderate to heavy smoker for well over 20 years. I started with the Marb Lights, advanced to Reds, quit for a while but got back into smoking cigars. I was a big Backwoods brand Sweet&Aromatic brand. It was a very mild, vanilla cigar. I've found an excellent e-juice brand from Velvet Vapors called Vanilla Carmel Tobacco that is by far my favorite. I hope Velvet Vapors comes back online soon, I stocked up when I heard they were going offline for a while.
Anyway, I guess I'm not really a nooB, I'm more at the intermediate stage. I started with the 510 and ego stuff. I've tried a large variety of flavors from a number of places. I'm definitely at the stage where I'm ready to jump to a box mod. I'm drooling over the Ali'i, but that bad boy is one hard item to purchase, especially since I can't even send a PM on here yet. it looks like a work of art, and I've found that craftmanship is as important as performance in a device like this. I mean, you have to live with it, everyday. It's amazing how much of an attachment you make to these devices. I really love the eGo, and have a variety of batteries and colors. That bad boy is like jewelry and there are 100's of combos with colors, attys, mega attys, cones, etc etc.. that makes it such a great mod that I'll always use. And with the eGo-Tank coming out, this product will have a long life span. In any event, I'm definietly ready for a box mod but I'll probably go with a wet box for now since they seem easier to get. But I figure once I get my hands on one of those hand-crafted Ali'i or Reo masterpeices, I should be set for quite a while. I've already started moding carts, and cartos, and have a lot of ideas on improving box mods. I went from not even knowing what an e-cig was to up to my neck in juices and 510/eGo accessories, have learned all the lingo and have probably watched about 200 hours of reviews in about 3 weeks, lol. E-cigs are a miracle device that has been the only thing that has kept me away from analogs for this long, and I have tried it all (gum, patches, mints, pills, etc) and none of it has worked. I love this technology and as I spend more time building my knowledge about it, I hope to get heavily into moding and might even get into the retail end of things.
Anyway, I've rambled on too long. This is just a note to introduce myself to the community (one I've just discovered and all of you guys are great). I'm watching all the reviews and reviewers, big fan of VapeTV, and I'm very appreciative of the excellent advice found on this forum. it has helped me so much getting started and although I'm only 3 months tobacco free, I have no urge to go back and already consider myself a non-smoker and will be vaping for a long time to come. Thanks for the forum and happy vaping.
