Hey guys Im not sure if the rule is we have to post a certain amounts of threads or if replies work as well but either way may as well say whatup to everyone. My names Garrett and I live in orlando where the vape scene is really starting to grow which is awesome because we have 2 new local shops and im starting to see people with rigs left and right in the city. I smoked a pack a day for about 10 years and now Iv been off the "analogs" for about 3 months. I tried an old school setup from Volcano Ecigs back in the day but it seemed to only curb the appetite rather than really satisfy it so Im really happy that my new rig is working out for me and Im able to spread the word to people around me. I am looking to upgrade pretty soon and thats one of the reasons Im here is to learn as much as possible. Lookin forward to more talks.

Health officials said there's been a spike in the number of nicotine poisoning caused by electronic cigarettes.
A report released by the CDC Thursday said the poisoning reports rose from one per month in 2010 to over 200 this year I chain vape at 18mg/ml. What were the conditions? Oh! They don't say. Hmmmm.
Experts said nicotine in its concentrated liquid form is very toxic, even in small doses True. It can be if not handled properly
Poisonings occur after it's inhaled, ingested or absorbed through the skin. If you're vaping, drinking or getting the concentrated nic on your skin and not washing it off, well sure.
Officials said that more than half of the reports were for children 5 years old and under. Irresponsible parents. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN!!
Articles like this kinds pi$$ me off. Can ya tell? They need to tell the whole story. Not just the condensed version.
ADD: www. wftv. com/news/news/health-med-fit-science/health-officials-say-nicotine-poisoning-caused-e-c/nfRwJ/ On this same page, there's a link about "Your water contains hidden heavy metals, discarded antibiotics, toxic chemicals, and infectious parasites that can, over time, lead to degenerative diseases, debilitating chronic pain, even cancer!" Why don't news agencies ride "water suppliers"? More people drink water than vape! I'm just sayin'.

I think the majority of it breaks down to irresponsible parenting being the biggest issue. Some of this stuff smells and tastes like candy and if some kid decided to drink it not only is that bad for humans but especially small children. The fact that its more than 50 % children is not as highlighted in the article as it should be.
Now that my rant is over
....Howdy Garrett and Welcome to the forum! Glad to have ya!! Yes. Replies count in your quest for 5 posts. Congrats on the 3 months. Got questions? Fire away. We're here to help! 
ADD: Guess I should get the red out of my eyes and would have seen that you have 6 as I write this.

I love your user name! I've experienced that on more than one occasion... less than enjoyable.
When it comes to questions i dont exactly know where to start i think its gonna boil down to me just needing to navigate around and read up. In the most ignorant way of describing it possible i want to upgrade to one of those big ol telescopes that can continuously drag to produce big hits. Right now mine cant handle that and i dont know if that boils down to battery ability or atomizer durability. Trying to figure out the meaning if these "rebuildable" setups and whatnot. I dont necessarily want one where i drip directly on the atomizer i like the refillable tanks but i wanna hit it hard.
Id post a pic if i could figure out how to do that on my phone lol not around my computer right now
Lol luke it doesnt make sense as a florida boy anymore but this just stuck from back in the chicago boy snowboarding days and no its not exactly enjoyable
Hey all! My names Dave, and I'm a vaper...I operate a vape review channel and am an active mver in a number of other vape forums so thought I'd sign up here and see what's going on.
Because they will not get any many on e-cig but the big tobacco company will die if they will not do that kind of news
Congrats, Garrett!
You definitely came to the right place. ECF has many vaping experts frequenting the New Members forum to provide help to new members/vapers, and there are dozens of other forums and sub-forums here in which they go into every detail of every aspect of vaping. I've learned more about the world of vaping (and yes, it's like discovering a whole new world) in the past two months than I even knew existed when I bought my Halo G6 kit back in January. And there seems to be something new to learn about it every day. I went the vaping route to find good health. I never thought I'd be finding a fun new hobby as well.
Enjoy the new world, my friend!
EDIT:
There's a growing advocacy group that works to protect the rights of vapers and to disseminate FACTUAL information in the hopes of keeping the public at large CORRECTLY informed about vaping. It's called CASAA. Click the link in my signature to learn more about them and to sign up. It's totally free, and your membership will be GREATLY appreciated.

Yep. It's funny - whenever I write "hobby" in one of these threads, I think of you Simply Red.
