Hello. I'm a prospective new vaper, but I've done my research. I'm currently saving up to buy a nice high-capacity tube mod or VV mod with a fat tank and a driptip on the side to taste test flavors. I'm also planning on buying a couple of Ego-twists or mid-level battery to get my fiance a nicotine-free setup and a similar one for me to take to work, etc. and not worry about it getting stolen or lost.
I've been smoking Newport 100's for six years, phased from two packs a day to one pack, and finally to half a pack a day. I have switched to full flavors when they came out. A good friend's father died from COPD and associated complications, and I saw the worst of it in the last months of his life; he was a good man, but like many people in South Carolina, he has always smoked cigarettes, since he was a twelve year old kid. Kind of like a scared-straight deal. I also see how my stamina is shortened from when I was younger and a shortness of breath, yellowing of fingernails and teeth, stinky breath and clothes, and the look I get from a lot of people.
I'm working my way up from the bottom, as I'm quite skeptical. I initially did research, then I bought a disposable Blu cig. It lasted for a day and some change; little throat hit, which made me skeptical. I've since bought a couple cheap clearance 260mah batts and a few carts and a 30ml of juice for 20 bucks. Gotta love clearance. I'll use this until I save up about $120 to buy a reliable mod, batteries, charger, and a ton of juices.
I've watched hours of video on youtube from popular GrimmGreen to a plethora of reviews, comparisons... man, I don't know if I'm more confused or more enlightened. Cartomizer, atomizers, clearomizers, smileomizers, 510, 901, 808, adapters, spacers, single wick, dual wick, octopus, rebuildable atomizer, rebuildable tank, stainless steel mesh, variable volt, variable watt, ohms of resistance, sub ohms, PG or VG, 18650 or 2x CR123A, WOW. I love learning the intricacies of it all but the complete lack of standardization is killing me.
That's all beside the point. The real reason I'm joining now and not lurking forever was to post in this thread: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/south-carolina-vapers-forum/403853-new-store-greer-sc.html but because of my lurking, I can't just.. drop in with my slice of knowledge and give a shout out from where I am (West side of Spartanburg!) Hope to frequent to forums soon.
SO. TLDR: Hi.
