Hi all. I am a new member to this forum. It sounds like my story is similar to most everyone else here.
I was smoking 3/4 to a pack a day for the last 35 years. Was at the local night market one night in the summer and my wife suggested I pick up a starter kit and try to kick the habit again. I got a cheap 650mah battery, charger, clearo, case and 3 juices.
Have not touched another cig since I finished the pack I had at the time. Upgraded to a VV battery and a few Kanger tanks and dozens of juices online and in stores locally. Started to learn about DIY juice and placed an order for nic and flavours from a US online store. PG and VG were easy to get at Walmart. While waiting for my flavor order I found out a grocery store a few blocks from work sells Lorann flavors. Went a bit wild and stocked upon all the flavours I wanted but did not order online. Just making juice now as bottles of store bought become available. Ordered an itaste MVP2 after going through 2 battery charges a day and another Kanger tank, more flavours and some lab equipment.
So far I'm having fun with the DIY and staying off the analog's easy enough still that I hope to never go back. I keep telling myself I will eventually start to save money but now I'm not to sure! At least I get to vape inside the house now.

Great story...thanks for joining and sharing!

I am totally new to the vaping world but it sounds like you are not a novice and are truly enjoying your adventure.

I normally have a hard time controlling my dark side urges to go all out and turn every thing I get into...well into a full time job...and this vaping business is no different....

Save money....hahaha...vaping in the house is worth the trade off!!

Enjoy the forum!!

Welcome to ECF. Your story does sound very familiar :) One word of caution though. I would NOT use the Lorann flavorings you find at the grocery store. They are meant for food and many contain oils which are bad for inhalation. Only get flavors online that are meant for vaping.

Once you get your flavors and settle on a mod ( settled on the MVP) you will start saving lots of money, especially if you DIY.
