Hey, new to vaping and I have made some mistakes, but I think I am happy with my current choices.
I decided to try e-cigs a few weeks ago as a friend of mine was diagnosed with 4th stage lung cancer. Being that I am a 4th stage colon cancer survivor, I thought it might be prudent to be a little smarter with my habits.
I tried a Blu disposable, and while it was not great I thought I would give it a shot. So I followed the hype and grabbed the starter pack. It was like sucking on a straw. No vapor, no throat hit, no nicotine, no battery life... it had nothing to offer. I thought for sure I was doomed to take up analogs again.
I spoke with some friends who were vaping and started trying their rigs. I found a few that I liked. I met up with my uncle who has been vaping for some years now. He has several "over the counter" e-cigs and vaporizers, and a few modded units and personal builds. I walked away with a good amount of knowledge, and a good idea of the path I was going to follow.
I decided that doing a lot of modding was not for me at this point. It may be something I step into in the future, as I do have extensive knowledge of electrical theory and operation as a master drivability auto technician with 25+ years of experience, but for now I am just noth that hard core into a build. So I decided to go the "over the counter" route for the time being.
I really enjoyed my uncle's selection of Halo juices, and I liked his Halo Element. But since the Element is no longer available I opted to go with a Halo G6 unit for use in public, and to get my family familiar with, and comfortable with my vaping. I never smoked analogs in my house. They are ecstatic that I no longer smell like cigs, and am not taking in all the carcinogens anymore. I decided to step up my vaping with a Halo Triton. I decided to go with the variable voltage battery so I could play a little bit at first. I am here to learn a bit more about playing with the Triton, changing it's coils, and whatever else I can do with this as a base.
So here I am... a week without a smoke (even had a couple inspiring evenings with a bottle of bourbon and some friends without a smoke) and feeling better. Oh yeah, I do love my whiskey and a cig, so this G6 has been a great diversion at the most difficult of times.

.Saw the evil 345 cancer chart too.As for loving one mod over another,its all choice.My best thought is there is no public vaperizer, mean once you look like an idiot in your mind its all good(I burned my leg the first time in a bar with a pv) good luck.
and I'm glad to hear your family and friends are supporting your decision. That makes the transition easier and more comfortable. I know what you mean about not wanting to pull out crazy looking mods in public...it took me a while to get over that. Even now, i sometimes use stick batteries or ego style stealth batteries depending on the place & occasion. Anyway, keep on vaping & enjoy!
