Was last week and I couldn't feel better. So, After one year, where am I?
- I've come to realize I'm a very simple vaper in comparison to many forum members, mostly dude to the prohibitive cost of heavy duty mod-collecting and juice sampling (in Canada at least). I have one device (Black Reo Mini). I cycle through 6 AW IMR's. All of my atties now come from AvidVaper, and I've come to like the 1.8ohm cisco 306's De-wicked, but I'm really excited about some of the new hybrid and bottom-feed specific stuff coming out (theres some in the mail!) (oh, and I'm still not mad at regular old LR510's strictly for the sake of durability)
- I don't order any juice from Canada. It's too much of a fuss playing hide-and-seek with vendors. I've settled into a routine of ordering 50ml bottles of DK fruit flavors from ValueVapor and couldn't be happier. Yes, I've tried flavors from the staples of the scene like Alien Visions, Backwoods, Ms. T' Etc, but the cost is much higher, and although in some cases the juice is better, its hard to argue with the price of bulk DK.
-I rotate through 4 or so flavors, and because I'm so used to bottom-feeding a 3ML bottle, I dont have an ADV or special flavors, I just vape what's in my mod, and I'm totally OK with that. I've also completely lost all interest or patience for dripping. I'm SO over it. It's a mess, a pain, and for me, not worth it.
- I find it really hard to keep up with the scene in general. I don't have an hour every day to pour through the forums reading reviews of atties and suppliers and new juices and new tankcartodualcoilhybridbottomfeedvacumsupermodsofdoom, so I stick with what I know, and occasionally research new products as needed.
- I'm going to continue vaping for another year, and not worry about trying to stop vaping. I love it too much. That being said, I would like to expand my hardware a BIT. Although my Reo is built like a tank and all-mechanical, it's really the only thing I don't have a backup for.
So- Here's a query to you all- What should my next move be?
-Is there a compact battery/tank/carto/atty solution out there that I'd be happy with as a backup/bar vape?
-If I don't want to drip, but am tempted by a nice tube-mod, what should I look at for cartos/tanks?
-Anyone else as excited as I am for the VV Reo Grand?
Additionally,
- How are YOU settling into vaping for the long term? What are your main-stays, day-to-day habits, go-to-devices, fav vendors etc.
Cheers Guys, Thanks for the support, and an extra special thanks to Jack at HappyVaper, Kat and Brett at EV, (both whom got me started) James at ValueVapor, the guys at Avid, and of COURSE, Rob, who handcrafted my Reo.
Cheers!
