Newbie from Florida here with a couple questions

[dpaff]

Hey everyone!
Just wanted to post and say that I'm glad I found this site.
I've been vaping since October (quit cigs when I started) and love it.
I started pretty much like anyone new at it with a starter kit and some juice.
Within a month I had tried so many flavors and decided to move up from my fixed voltage EGO.

After about a month on a VV EGO ~ I wanted to try more. I went and picked up a Totally wicked Curve.
~ loved the hits and the fact that it was VV/VW. after a couple weeks on it - my wife who was still on her starter kit (that we got in the beginning) tried it and claimed it. So I decided to get the Aspire Atlas & CF Sub Ohm battery. All I can say is wow...

Now I really appreciate the clouds.

My wife doesn't understand why I am wanting to really get into this as a hobby/lifestyle. Anyone have any thoughts on this?
I think that I am wanting to try and make my own juice. thinking about doing a 50/50 base with a low nic.

What flavors do you guys/gals like?

Where are the best places to get the stuff for newbies like me that want to DIY?

Sorry for rambling on my first real post/thread. Will try to be an active person here as often as I am able.
Pretty busy with work & kids - but will still try.

Welcome! My wife still uses her ego and a kanger tank. We both bought the starter totally wicked kits a few months back. Within a week I went to the vv aspire premium kit. A week or two later picked up my first mech mod and rda. Have four now with more coming soon lol. She prob thinks I am crazy for all the gear and supplies I have collected so far. I guess some of us are more prone to diving in farther than others. Can't answer any questions on DIY stuff. Haven't got that far yet lol just wanted to welcome you and let you know you are not the only one who's wife is happy with what she is using. I am sure someone will be along soon to answer your questions. Good luck!

lol, they never do. My girlfriend gives me funny looks every time I giddily open up a new piece of vape-mail Nothing wrong with it, it turns into sort of a hobby for many of us, but those that aren't bitten by that bug usually don't understand. My philosophy is that "if it makes you happy then just roll with it!" ;-)

Looks like Rsunderl gave you some good links to check out on the DIY front. Go ahead and browse around, then once you've got your 5 posts in you'll be able to hop into the discussions

Mine understand because we both smoked and quit cigs the same day we started vaping.
We just have to set a monthly budget on how much juice we can buy. Both of us have our daily drivers and back ups for our drivers.

Hope to get into the juice production myself in the future, the links above are fantastic......!
