Hello everyone 
I'm new to the site, though I have been coming here for months for info and reviews. Been vaping about 2 years now and almost 100% tobacco-free. I live in Socal, work at a gardening supply store, and keep to myself most of the time and take care of my wife and baby.
I was an early-starting smoker, holding onto my own smokes (not just snaking them from my fam) since i was 10, so right about 1980-ish. Pack-a-day for 20+ years before I decided to start cutting down with the intention of making it easier on myself when I do stop, and not put too much pressure on myself while doing so. First, it was dropping to only one pack a day, then cutting out a few "boredom smokes" through the day, and so on. Within a couple years I was at only half a pack a day and my wife came into my life. I started working more at reducing smoking while with her, and when I moved back to my home town, I was introduced to vaping by a friend that works at a local chain vape shop. He would always have the latest vape gear as soon as they came out and would pass on his barely-used stuff to me for car parts or work, or just because
I started with the simple point & click Ego-C/Twist and plowed through a variety of tips and batteries (I'm clumsy and easily frustrated by entry-level equipment) before stepping up to a Lambo. though i hated the size, I quickly got over it because it worked much better. At this point I was down to about 4 smokes a day and had a baby on the way, so I wanted to reduce even more and maybe even be tobacco-free when the baby arrived. The Lambo worked well for a bit but the center contact post eventually bent and broke and off I went to a 2nd-hand Sigelei V3 flathead. It worked real well, but it would occasionally not work at all and as with the others, I started to get frustrated. Passed it on to my sister (one of the many people I have gotten onto vaping and off smokes) and bought an iTazte SVD + a few iClear 30s from my friend's shop hoping it would be better. It had firing issues also and was quite the light saber....a few comments from coworkers and I was ready to finally graduate to a real mod and RDA.
Recently I bought a Wooliston (Magneto clone), a Private V2 clone, and a Nimbus clone and had my friend build it and WOW what a difference! I have smoked 2 ciggs in 3 days and once I worked the bugs out, I'm having the absolute best vaping experience so far. I think i finally am at a point where I can drop tobacco entirely and thanks to ECF, I have a pretty good grasp on what mechanically is happening with my vaping and am pretty much free of mechanical issues.
Hope to interact with you all and learn lots more here
