New Guy to forums

[Aawa]

Hello All,

I found these forums in January and have been lurking. I decided to sign up and finally post.

My story starts similar to many others. I smoked about a pack of cigarettes a day for about 18 years. One of my friends showed up at one of my parties with an Ego Twist and I gave it a try and decided a week later to get my own. After picking up my first setup of Ego-Twist w/ iSmoka clearomizer and some 12mg juice, I quit smoking regular cigarettes immediately. Since that day I have yet to touch a regular cigarette. It has been 78 days. I truely love smoking (now vaping) I love the filling of my lungs with warm smoke/vapor and then the deep exhale, there is something very katharic about it.

I have kind of an addictive personality and things picked up from there. And after being on the e-cig for 2 weeks, I decided to skip the middle upgrades and go directly to the mechanical mods and sub ohming. So I bought a Nemesis Clone w/ a Kayfun Lite Clone and Patriot Clone. After my first 15ml bottle of juice ran out (about the 3week-1month timeframe), I immediately switched to 0mg nicotine juice.

I would carry around my Nemesis w/ Kayfun Lite setup with me every day, and use that to satisfy the habit of smoking. After another 3 weeks or so. I have stopped carrying Kayfun Lite clone with me and pretty much don't carry any setup with me throughout the day. I am only vaping at home and using my dripping atomizers. I would like to believe that vaping isn't a "habit" to me anymore as there is no physical addiction holding me to it. I like to think of it as more of a hobby now. During the evening pull out my mods and some juice and take a couple toots here and there. I kind of treat it like using a hookah, but no smoke just vape.

I am never going back to smoking, but now I have to try to do something about curbing my need to buy mods and rdas lol. Right now I have the following.

Nemesis Clone
Atomo v1 Clone

V3tronix Flip
RJ Mods Turtleship v1 w/ Special Edition sleeve

Waiting on SimonMods Copper Mod to release.

Pre-ordered Zenith v2 Copper RDA
Pre-ordered APO RDA

Welcome, and congrats! I too was a long time smoker, however I vape fairly consistently during the day while at work. I think I vape more while at home, mostly because I have 40+ flavors to choose from so it's easy to make any changes I want. I too went heads first into mechanicals rather quickly, and glad I did as that gave me the satisfaction I was looking for to quit smoking. Keep it up!

Yep, you have it bad too. But isn't it a wonderful hobby? Glad you finally started posting and welcome to the forum.

Thanks. I have a bunch of flavors at home also. The biggest thing I wanted to do was break the habit of doing vaping/smoking all the time. Doing it during the evening or every couple of evenings so it is more like hookah, has been a nice break from having a habit.

It is a great hobby. I have really thrown myself into the world of sub-ohming and cloud chasing. Learning about the electrical circuits and ohm's law. And then tinkering with different builds. It is really mentally stimulating to me and challenges me.

The lowest I have went so far was a .09 ohms with a 26gauge kanthal parallel dual coil build. I did the math and it was safe to vape (which I did for 1 evening and then I took it apart). But vaping at 152 watts was a thrill. I know it suprassed the continuous 30 amps of my Sony VTC4's but it was still within the limits of the pulse firing 60 amps of the battery.

Congratulations!

Trying to get my SO to make the switch...
