Glad your going to hang for a bit Rocket, I'm still new and enjoy reading the many posts y'all post. I think my right arm, (I'm right handed) is getting stronger then the left, hmm I wonder why? Maybe time to go back to my 510 lmao.

Wouldn't Chattanooga be closer?

I think Mountain Oak Vapors is in Cleveland, Tennessee, though. But I may be wrong. Let me go check.

Well, friends and fellow vapers. It's been a wild ride these last seven months. Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere. I'm still a vaper fo' life. But it seems like my days being addicted to the ECF are slowing down. When I first joined, it was like a stereotypical movie shot of a tourist in Times Square, with me holding out my arms while the camera circles, "New York New York" plays in the background, and ticker-tape falls down around me. Meeting all of you was a breath of fresh air.

Again, like I said, I'm not going anywhere. But I feel like my vaping journey has reached a plateau. For the most part, the majority of my questions have been answered. For the most part, my quest for gear has been achieved. My vaping hunger has been sated. For now. That elusive perfect vape has been found in my precious and lovely carto tanks, with the occasional Kanger T3 for those .....y juices that hate cartos (caramel coffee, I'm looking at you!).

I'm no longer a frustrated vaper. For the most part. I feel like I fully understand the bulk of vaping outside of RBAs. Well, at least enough for me to be very, very happy.

All of this being said, I don't see myself being a major presence on the forum anymore. That doesn't mean I'm leaving or will quit posting, but if you notice I don't post as much or don't get involved in as many discussions, it's because this vaper has achieved satori and is settling down on his new vaping mat in his new vaping pagoda. I'll always be here, ECF. I will never leave.

Also, I just learned one of my really good vaping buddies is friends with Dimitri of PBusardo fame. Evidentally Dimitri lives in Chattanooga, which is where I grew up. So I know my buddy, my buddy knows Dimitri, Dimitri knows Busardo. I am three degrees away from Busardo.

"I am so cool. C-o-l-e." (Homer joke).

EDIT: After reading this, holy shnikey, I have an ego! And not a battery! I should be more humble...

i will never allow myself to plateau. there is always something bigger and better or just flat out different that i havent tried yet. my adventerous spirit forever disallows me from plateauing. cant have it, wont have it.
im glad you have reached your nirvana Rocketpunk. dont be surprised if it doesnt last long however
vape on!

edit to add personally, i beleive its a bigger deal to know Dimitri than to know PBusardo. dont get me wrong, Phil is the man. but Dimitri is the innovator.

As my father says "Once you learn, you have the obligation to pass the knowlegde onto the next generation". I too find that I've almost settled into the things I like. But there are noobs to guide and questions to ask. I consider it a moral obligation.

It was actually Plumes91 who vaped the snickerdoodle juice that tasted like creamed corn.

THANKS, Jude, he was the culprit. Is that as memorable for you as it was for me? I laffed til I hurt!

...its a bigger deal to know Dimitri than to know PBusardo.

Welcome back, Rocket... Who the heck is Dimitri(s)?

 

[xanderxman]

I thought you had gone off your rocker there for a minute. How could you possibly entertain the idea of not being an active member of ECF?!? Glad you came to your senses.

 

[xanderxman]

Welcome back, Rocket... Who the heck is Dimitri(s)?

He is the Vaping Greek. Here, I Googled it for you. dimitris the vaping greek - Google Search

But after re-reading my OP, I realized pride cometh before a fall.

Pride goeth before a fall (Well, actually it's "Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall," but I'll let that slide.)

It's so nice to know you won't be leaving until you've mastered idioms.

Look who is all fancy and stuff! I mastered idiocy a long time ago. Wait, what is an idiom? lol

Sadly, in the world today it's more important to be able to text than diagram a sentence.

Entirely off topic but entirely true. I am raising a 16 year old daughter right now and let me tell you! If I hear her say B-T-W one more time I am going to punch a wall!!! I stay on her about it and she is not as bad as most but she still falls into it on occasion. What have we gotten ourselves into?

 

[Scoop224]

Rocket.....RBA's are your ticket to the next level...the big show....the promised land!!!

That plateau won't last long if you get a taste of what they can do for your vape! Not kidding my friend!!

Also, I can't wait until we get some vapemeets going in SW Ohio!!!

Sigh. I had to explain to a young woman (who was in her second year of college) that "incredible" means not credible, the same way "inhumane" means not humane and "indecent" means not decent. Apparently, the meaning of suffixes isn't taught anymore.

Indescribable.

 

[Ryan1888]

I wil just echo what a few others have said - I too feel that I am in the "comfort zone" in regards to vaping and the nuances surrounding it. I have just decided to become an active part of this forum as of late, therefore I am still in the stage where I am relishing the chance to come to a place where others share the same ideologies and joy of vaping.

We will still all be here whenever you decide to drop by though.

It's kind of incredible if you can't describe it.

Of course. But AltSmoke has some stuff that Mountain Oak doesn't have. One can't have too many suppliers.

Inexcusable! Our education tax dollars at work.
