new member quite new in vaping and totally addict

[Benoua]

Hi,
I hope that my English will be rich enough to post a subject.
I am from Paris ...
I started vaping the 20th of April with some Lavatube, DCT and High Caliber juice.
the first idea was : "Reduce my cigarette consumption" and I stop directly the first evening.
Waouh the taste of vaping is delicious, I can use it every where, amazing !!!
Rapidly I become a compulsive addict.
I start with the Do It Yourself juice with Flavor Art products. Easier to find in Europe than the Flavor West.
After 1 week I preordered the shockave, my first super Mod and I still waiting it (hopefully, it will arrive soon)
After 2 weeks I bought my first rebuildable atty a Bully Elite/A2TM.
Now I have a little collection : Svoemestro with Kaifun and Semovar ; Darwin; Provari mini ; Orion 2 ; GGTS-SS ; GG Stealth ; Odysseus ; DID, Mini DID ... I dream to have Zenesis product ...
I bought my first wood box this week a Bogger's one.
It becomes a real passion : read forum, topics, video, test, guide, product availability ...
I don't forget the real goal : stop smoking, but I do it with a lot of pleasure

Wow! A little over 2 months and you have all that alredy? You really went out! But hey, if you enjoy it why not right?

I have been at this a month myself, and see how "buying" new things for vaping has become quite easy to do. I find myself browsing vendor websites all the time just to see whats out there. i've also been buying juice like mad. Its becoming an obsession

Vaping was supposed to SAVE me money, but right now its doing quite the oppisite

congrats and welcome

 

[Benoua]

Thank you Ryan
I have the chance that I was smoking more than 60 cigarettes per day. It gives me a quite large latitude to spend money.
It a so amazing world where you can control anything : Ohms rules, mechanics of fluids, cells composition ...

This month after the Bogger order, I decide to limit my budget : I can buy just GG and zenesis stuff till August
For me saving money is NOT for 2012

 

[Benoua]

Thank you Panhandleguy !!!

While smoking isn't a hobby, vaping and buying hardware and liquid for it is. And unlike some consumer electronic hobbies, this one doesn't seem to have the brick wall of "I already have the best" anytime soon for me.

Welcome to the forum. Your English was nearly perfect. The few odd words were easily understood.

And big congrats on the quitting. 60 cigs a day...I guess you don't sleep much.

 

[Benoua]

Thank you Wishdog, I hope that I will be getting better with my English. It's quite rare to use it in Paris
I agree while you are smoking you can buy some different lighters and that's all. With the ecig you think that you have the ultimate configuration and ... you find another materiel for another experience (I like that).
About sleeping, I didn't fell a big difference before and after my switch to vaping. Now that I think about it, I agree, I sleep 2 hours less !!!! Great, an other advantage of vaping

Congratulations on kicking the habit of smoking and of course, on your "little" collection of "toys"... Quite impressive for 2 months into it! Enjoy all the mods, the flavors, the new shiny toys,.......... Way to go!!!!!!! Oh, and congrats on your English, it is actually quite good!

 

[Benoua]

Thank you very much Ratchet,
Stop smoking was easy the first week, but after the enjoy of a new habit. The fight starts and I should say thank to Super T. Preordering the Shockwave really helps me during the first month. it gave me a goal at short time
Today sometime I think about a cig but it is very easy to forget with a vape of "spicy bread"
Choosing a mod is very fun, you have to find it, catch it, learn it.
Next week-end, I will try the GGTS / Odysseus with the specific base

 

[Pappy]

Your english is a LOT better than my french. You have accumulated a very impressive collection in a short period of time.

 

[Benoua]

Thank you very much
My collection is not finish, I choose to do a break till the shipping of the shockwave.
And very soon after, I will add a Titanide Themis. A french titanium mod

 

[Dana A]

Welcome to the ECF! Your english is great. Wow you sure did buy a lot of great equipment in a short time. You are sure to be set up for success now. I envy you

 

[SkyDancer]

Welcome Benoua! We are so glad to have you here and enjoy hearing about your experience taking up vaping. Paris! I hope to see your city some day

 

[Gatillero1980]

The only problem I see is that you are going to outlive your money

 

[Gloria]

Congratulations on your success of getting off two packs a day Benoua. That's awesome!!

You're English is great. I wish that I knew French.

I'm curious. Do you vape in public in Paris using these mods that you have? If so, what kind of reaction do you get from people?

Happy Vaping!

 

[Benoua]

Thank you Dana A, Thank you Skydancer,
Setup for success, I say yes fro shure ... but you don't need to have all the stuff have to get the result.
In fact I get the virus and I decide that It's good for my motivation.

Thank you Gatillero1980,
Most of my choice looks like as a controlled lost reselling stuff. Between my bank account and my pleasure, I make my choice.
It's a fact when I will arrive to my limit I will have to stop buying or I will have to sell to get cash ... hopefully I'm quit far away to this limit

 

[Benoua]

Thank you Gloria,
First of all, I am a little man of 125 kg and 1,95 m (sorry for the mks)
So the other regards I really don't care ..
I get out with all of my mods and today my preferred to get out is the Svoemestro Semovar Simple Kaifun (the biggest one)
I had young people asking me if it is a new model of portable shisha.
A lot of question, surprise accept everywhere, bar, restaurant, shops, office ...
Easy to use in Paris, Belgium, Toulouse, ... Easier than the real one !!!

 

[mitcho]

good luck. yes, vaping was intended to save me money as well, but now it is an expensive, albeit safer, habit.

 

[Benoua]

Thank you Mitcho,
As a big smoker, 60 cigs/day cost nearly 25$/day in France, it is a very big budget more than 9000 $/year.
In front of smoking all the year, I stop at the end of April so I have 6000$ for an iso budget. You can enjoy with that.
Baby step for :
2012 Stop smoking with no way back (overspend the money), enjoy the health benefit.
2013 Take the budget advantage and reduce nicotine
After I don't know ... vaping zero nicotine, stop vaping ...
It is to far away, today the fight against smoking continues ...
