New to ecf here

[b7u3angel]

Hey hows it going? Im new here and new to vaping in general. Almost 2 months but have not touched a analogue since I started. I started out on a kanger evod the very next day bought a vision spinner II. It was nice but was missing something so a week or so later, went I back to my local vap store and bought a mvp v2 and I love it (still do) but.....some one let me try there mechanical Manhattan mod and my jaw dropped. This is what I was missing! So i now own a hades with a v3 tobh. Anyway, I really believe that vaping has drastically improved my healh and my life. Thanks for reading.

Make sure you have a decent charger and ohm meter. Buy your batteries from reputable suppliers (not ebay or Amazon). Learn all about battery safety, ohms law and amp limitations. Be safe!

This was from a post by Baditude (our resident battery/safety expert) on another thread. Some of this you may already know, some may be new to you. To quote him "Read up. It's homework time!"

Excellent Advice Susan. I never buy from Ebay simply can't stand auction sites of any kind. Love Amazon, wish they carried E-Cig products they would probably sell at a good price as well. I've been vaping for a long time and the research has been exhausting in finding the right suppliers. There are so many options with devices it's endless. I stick with U.S.A and mainly deal online as opposed to brick and mortars.

That's exactly why I joined today...vaping is such a new thing for me, and every question I had Google led me here. I read through a tiny bit of the "homework" listed above, and realized I am definitely not ready for an upgrade yet. LOL But I will get there! LOL It was reassuring to know I'm not the only one thinking of going to a mod so early on. I just love the weight & the larger size but obviously I have a lot to learn first. Training wheels for me! LOL
