Newb but not so newb, newer vaper. lol. This is a bit long but is simply my journey thru vaping.
I started my journey Dec 20, 2013. actually came into it by accident was smoking 1.5 packs a day for 25 years and was happy. It was my wife's birthday she wants me to take her to local vape shop, get her a kit. So I go long, being her birthday and all. Ended up tasting the flavors, was impressed. she gets a an ego 800mah. I figured what the hell and ended up with my own kit, getting an itaste vv/vw 3.0 as i am more technical and wanted to be able to customize my experience.
I vaped all the way home an an hr after i get home wanted a cig, tried but didn't taste the same smoked half put it out, vaped instead. Then tried 1 more cig several hrs later same thing tasted funny, didnt really want it. That was my last cig, didn't even mean to quit just happened. I had tried several things over the years to quit chantix, wellbutrin, gums etc none of it worked. i started vaping and in less than 24hrs, boom. The weirdest part was with all the other methods they only helped me cut down, with vaping, although i had cravings for a real cig, i knew i wouldn't like it, so would just chain vape for a bit to get over it.
Just a week later after Christmas, still vaping haven't smoked a cig but still get cravings every now and then. I decide I need something with a bigger battery so get an itaste mvp for 40 bucks off ebay, I also buy several protank 2's as the iclear 16's that came with the kit weren't really cutting it.
About this time I find several vaping channels on you tube, Riptrippers, Vapingwithtwisted420, indoorsmokers and pbrusado, just to name a few. Watch alot of videos, subscribe and even now watch when new vids come out.
couple of weeks go by and decide i want a vv/vw mod, decide on a vamo v5. pick one up for $40 off bombvapor. Makes for a whole different experience. the issue i had with the vv and the mvp was anything close to 90-95% its max and would get dry burned hits, I liked the warmer vape but they couldn't really deliver.
another couple of weeks goes by and take the plunge into rebuildables and get a rta, after researching and a lot of vids decide on a kayfun 3.1 clone by hcigar. go with micro coils and cotton.
Wow This is what i was looking for I am very happy for another 3 weeks, but then my vamo dies, the center pin messed up and the threads warped.
So I decide on 2 things never get a mod with a cheap brass 510 connection and I wanted a mechanical mod and a vv/vw, so I buy a itaste vtr off craigslist that covers the vv/vw and order an hcigar nemesis clone from vaperoyalty.
The vtr is a great vv/vw device will fire sub ohms down to .6 (.8 with full voltage) has a great range but is heavy as brick, lol, though i dont mind the weight.
The Hcigar Nemesis, wow I now see why people love mechs, got the mag switch upgrade and better pins. It's a dream, I got a dripper at the same time and wow it and the kayfun are just amazing on it. The vtr has it place when i want an adjustable vape or a quick switch to a different flavors via the protanks.
Now this brings us today I cant believe its only been 9 weeks, it feels alot longer.Never have cravings for a cig anymore, even the idea is no longer appealing in any way.
Just got in 3 winsmoke sqaupe clones direct from the manufacturer. Going to start builds on em tomorrow and can say though my journey may be on a fast track. whatever you vape on if its just a basic igo with and iclear 16 or a mech with a rda. as long as your happy with your vape thats all that matters. To me its become a hobby and something i enjoy alot more than i did cigs. it appeals to my technical nature.
my next task though it will most likely be months from now its to build my own mod, prob a dna 30 box mod, though for the foreseeable future I am happy and don't feel any need to upgrade further.
