Hi everyone.
Spent the last week trying to learn about e-cigs. Never vaped before. The gear I ordered comes in tomorrow and I'm hoping this is a fresh start for me. Been a pack a day for the last 20 years and I know the serious impact its having on my health.

Welcome Goob! I am a DIY'er as well. Good stuff!

 

[Razorback]

Once you get a few posts in, you can hit the DIY section and go to town on some new recipes!

Sounds complicated so it must be good stuff!
I've got pretty simple gear. Your's is over my head.
Enjoy & welcome & no more cigarettes soon - all good.

 

[TheGoob]

Really can't wait. Hoping vaping is for me.

Nice stuff. But pretty advanced for a beginner. I think you're going to be asking a LOT of questions.

 

[TheGoob]

Oh I'm sure there's going to be many questions. Don't see whats so advanced for all this really, looks relatively easy although I'm awaiting building coils for the 1st time. Mixing recipes looks really easy as long as careful with the nic. Looking forward to many experiments.

Yeah - all depends on your personal life experience & knowledge.

I've rewired a lot of lamps and a rotary telephone back in the 80's(did get a little zap doing that).
Changed a few wall sockets & light switches but don't feel I have the know how and have no
interest in figuring it all out. I just want to plug & go - might be why I like the ease of cartos.
Not really into getting or spending the $$ on the additional equipment. Would rather spent that
money on more of the same parts I already have since I'm completely satisfied with it.

But if you're gonna do advanced & get into rebuilding - everybody starts at the beginning so...
Go for it - you'll find everything here you'll need to know.

I'm a philosopher--i.e. not the most handy person out there--and I learned to build a coil in 20 mins, and a pretty good one on my 3rd attempt. I'm sure you'll be just fine.

I like that you're not shy. Just do a ton of reading, watch some videos and you'll be a veteran in no time.

 

[TheGoob]

Thanks Brend. Feels like I've spent my whole life fixing things and I have a mainly construction background. Watched a couple of rebuild videos on YouTube and it looks fiddly but when I figured out costs ($8 a year for wire and wick) it will be well worth it. Currently I own a bakery and just celebrated my 1st year of business. Curious to see if creating recipes to vape creates new cupcake flavors to sell.

Oh then you'll have it figured out in no time. Yeap youtube & here & you're good to go. Your 3rd wrap will probably be
perfect and if you also have baking knowledge & tastebuds - DIY is for you.

CONGRATULATIONS On 1 Year in business - now easy to do these days - this time
next year you'll be saying the same about being a non smoker.

Funny - I'm vaping all bakery flavors right now; cheescake, lemon square, lemon pound cake..

 

[TheGoob]

Owning your own business is tough, especially one with a perishable aspect to it.
Since this will be my 1st time ever vaping tomorrow, and given the current bill NY is trying to pass to ban sales, I figured I'd make an experiment out of this experience. So tomorrow I will still be a smoker while the battery charges. I will be taking my blood pressure before the switch and I promise to document all effects both positive and negative with regular visits to the cuff and the scales etc.

Welcome to the forum, and I have a feeling you will be very successful with vaping. Yes, it will provide your body with nicotine, but your attitude can make a big difference, too. You have a great attitude! I think you are off to a wonderful start. I'll be rooting for you, and hoping to hear how it goes.
