Stoneface can you tell us about the noob class and what ya learned?
Well, there was the the legal issues class with yvilla, which was very interesting. She is one of the CASAA co-founders. She went through the regulation/legislation history of e-cigs from 2006 to present. She also talked a bit about the research in the field. Next up was the beginner's class with Spike of NVC. It was very basic, explaining the differences between cartos and attys, etc. How to inhale vapor. The real basics. I didn't really need it, I took a friend I'm converting. Oh, but she did cover dripping and gave us a 510 atty

But, you never know what you might learn from those with more experience. The next class was coils and wicks, led by a guy from OKC Vapes (name escapes me!). He wasn't as organized as the previous speakers, but with some prompting questions, he was very informative. You could tell that he was a guy who does this every day and just knows everything, so it's not easy for him to stoop to my level (so to speak). The next class was RBA class with Zen from House of Hybrids. Amazing! I have done so much reading about these things that made it seem so complicated. It is a completely different experience to have someone in front of you show you how to do things
AND being able to ask questions as it happens. Makes all the difference in the world - I'll be tinkering with that hopefully on Sunday (after Vapefest ends). The next class was juice, which I skipped so that I could spend some more time with Zen...and he gave us a sheet of SS mesh and a bit of Kanthal! The last class was battery safety class with Matt from e-pipe mods. I didn't learn anything new, but I think I've read every thread on that forum

All in all, it was hours of classes but I'm glad that I went to them. I've read enough on this forum to know most of it, but it's always good to get a little refresher from anyone who knows more than I do. I did a bit of looking around at the vendors tables, but didn't buy anything. I did meet rnoserious, and James and Jesse from MBV. I learned that Jesse is the mixmaster who came up with some of my favorite flavors from MBV, so I gushed at him for a second. I plan to go back tomorrow and really take in what the vendor tables had to offer and take more time absorbing it all. Sorry for the long post, but you asked for it. And, so sorry that Eric wasn't able to be there - it would have been great to shake his hand!
