[Zenzu]

What's up my name is Carlo, I live in Cerritos CA about 3 min from Vaperev... I actually started doing maintenance on their planted aquarium that's at the juice bar. I'm pretty noob about everything and just here to do research and learn.

Been vaping for a few years now on and off. I bought my first ecig from a mall kiosk in 2010 and used it for a few months. I developed a pretty bad throat issue and stopped. I then started buying disposables from smoke shops and gas stations. I was hesitant to pick up anything reusable/rebuildable my friend ended up getting me an ego kit and it snowballed. I now have a Provari and a bunch of Mech clones *boo this man* haha... I understand some people hate on clones... and some people love em. I like the cost effectiveness of it and it seems like the machine work of the china brands is really improving, really great clones and replicas are popping up every day.

Anyhow Just wanted to stop in and say hello.

Welcome...you're not so noob are ya

Welcome Zenzu. Glad you are here.

I used to keep aquariums. In fact I did salt water way before the current biological wet-dry filters came out. Even had an octopus for a while. I appreciate the type of work you do.

Welcome to ecf. I have no problems buying clones and have had just wonderful results. I am still new and discovering something new I want everyday. This really can be a replacement addiction. Good luck to ya. Stop by again real soon and let us know how you are doing. Such a friendly group here.

Not totally noob, but I still have a lot to learn ya know?

Thanks everyone for the welcomes.

I've never kept salt only fresh water. I felt salt would become too much of an addiction

Welcome to ECF Carlo!

 

[Phoole]

Welcome Zenzu. Glad to see other newbies are using clones, might be all I can afford for a bit.

Hey Carlo

Nothing wrong in buying clones IMO. I havent got any, but it's only a matter of time

 

[Zenzu]

Glad to see it's accepted. I understand there is some controversy on from an ethical/moral stand point. I've seen some youtube vids of people bashing clones. When it gets down to it, I just want something cost effective that functions well and looks okay. I quit analogs all together in July and it's been working so far. The funny thing is the last pack I purchased as I was going through it I actually craved vape more. The only problem I ran into was lack of money paired with only 0mg juices in my possession and availability.

Anyway what sub-forum is a good place to start on my quest for knowledge?

I know a bit about safety, I have a general understanding of batteries. I've been sub-ohm vaping for a bit, but still relatively new to mech mods. I mainly want to focus on Mechs since I've been getting a lot more enjoyment from them as opposed to VV/VW. I will also be picking up a Kayfun Lite tomorrow. This will be the first big spend... I couldn't resist after hearing all the good things about them. Plus the fact I could get one at cost was too sweet to pass up.

Also interested in what you guys might think are good juices. I prefer sweeter juices like Mr. Good Vape and Midas. I like complex juices like Poet. I had a bad experience with juices from VapeDudes dunno what's wrong with them they are super harsh even at 30/70 pg/vg 11mg nic. I made the mistake of trusting the reviews and ordering 3 50ml bottles... ....

Hey, I'm fairly new to the vaping wold, but aside from lurking on here for a few weeks, an absolute n00b to the forum... Good to see I'm not the only one for which vaping is/has snowballed so quickly (ordering an Innokin VTR kit next week...).

My top two e-liquid vendors both make all-natural, all-organic flavored juices which I have found to have very flavorful flavors.
