New Member, new to ecigs/vaping

[SPBALLER]

Hello, new member to the ECF forums as well as vaping in general.

Figured a quick introduction of self would be a good way to begin getting some posts in.

I am 28 years old, live in San Francisco, California (USA), and have been smoking cigarettes since I was 16. I am now ten days removed from real cigarettes and am quickly getting excited about their electronic counterparts.

I spent about 5 or 6 good solid hours poking around the website last night familiarizing myself with terminology and technology and am completely blown away with this industry. It reminds me of lego's, but for adults. I don't know about yourselves, but I looooved lego's growing up . Very excited to upgrade my mod and start tinkering with different setups.

I look forward to becoming a part of the ECF community and hopefully positively contributing as I venture into this ecig territory and accumulate more information, knowledge, and experience.

Cheers

Forgot one thing.

I signed up on my Ipad and for whatever reason it would not let me type in lower case letters, hence the all caps username, I swear I wasn't angry when registering I will be putting in for a name edit asap.

Welcome to the forums. Congrats on the 10 days!

I've had a VTR for months collecting dust. There is a lot more to this hobby than just buying anything and quitting. I ordered some quality e-juice and a better tank and it made a huge difference going on 3 days without cigs. Enjoying vaping more than smoke.

Welcome. Congrats on staying off the cigs for 10 days too. I think you're right - there's a lot of enjoyment in the "lego" aspect. I was a 45-50 a day smoker and stopped over 2 years ago thanks to vaping. I think pretty much everything gets covered here and if it isn't some-one finds out and posts.

I've never been to San Francisco but heard lots of songs about it.

Welcome SP to the ECF family. I too am a noob to this. Have been cigarette free for 15 days now. I started smoking at 17 and am to 28 yrs old. It was actually rather easy to give up once I switched. This site is very addicting just like vaping is. I seem to be vaping a lot more than I actually smoked but I hope in due time it will slow down some. But again. Welcome and congrats on not smoking anymore.

Kudos on quitting! Vaping is a wonderful hobby, but you sure can wear out a debit card if you're not careful. At the same time, if it keeps someone off cancer sticks it's a good thing. Enjoy your new hobby and your healthier lifestyle!

Oh, BTW, I really love San Francisco. Visited there 3 times and think it's the most beautiful city I've ever seen. San Remo Hotel in North Beach, Sts. Peter and Paul, and the food...love it. I also have a special connection to the sea lions.

Same here bought a VTR with generic cheap e-juice and she sat for half a year. Finally discovered vaporite.com and have been vaping ever since. The 4th day was the hardest. I've also spent a fortune finding the perfect tank/coil/flavor,etc. But it pays for itself.

Keep your eye on the Terrible 3s as I have heard them.
3rd day, urge to smoke is very strong and often one of the toughest days.
3rd week, nothing seems to work right and you want new or better stuff
3rd month, you start to get bored.

After that you should be at the hobbyist level and its al fun and games.

Welcome newcomers and congratulations on quitting. There is indeed much to read, learn, and to covet in this forum. But the best part of ECF are all the wonderful folks! If you have any questions or just need some support, you've come to the right place.

Welcome, I'm glad you found us. This is a great place to learn all about your new hobby. Congratulations on quitting!

 

[SPBALLER]

Thanks for all the welcomes and well wishes, as well as the love expressed for San Francisco. It is a beautiful city, but its changing quickly and I fear not for the best, however thats a topic for another thread likely on another forum haha.

 

[Robdob]

There was a time when San Francisco was my dream. I was 17, it was 1969. I never did get there, I wish I had. Bucket list?

 

[Mogy]

Welcome aboard!!! Taking bets it was not the last time you hang out at ecf for long period of time... Seems to come with the territory

 

[notspace]

Welcome! I have converted 6 other smokers to vaping and working on others. Its hard to get used to at first.. My biggest hurdle was not using the omnipresent lighter to get my fix. But once you pass that first three weeks it all vaping. At least thats how it worked for me.
