This is my first post to this forum that I have spent countless hours over the last couple months reading about and researching personal vaporizers. I received my SmokeTip KR8 starter kit at the end of last October. It was hard to stay away from analogs the first couple weeks but when I discovered this site and started learning about this hobby my excitement about vaping really helped me quit smoking for good.
The thing I love about vaping is that it's so much more then a device to feed my nicotine addiction. After getting over the fairly steep learning curve it's turned into a hobby that I absolutely love. My knowledge of vaping has grown fairly substantial, but it's still a drop in the bucket compared to more experienced vapers. Also, right now I'm much more "book" smart then "street" smart in this hobby, slowly gaining more practicing experience as funds allow.
So far my limited "practicing" experience includes: SmokeTip batteries when out and about. Quality KR8 batteries, though small (180 mAh) and expensive ($19.99, free shipping) they have an unheard of lifetime warranty. Boge premium and LR cartos (awaiting megas in the mail). Lecigs PigCig (ego clone for KR8 users, 650 mAh) that I'm thrilled with. E-juice from MadVapes, Gourmet Vapor, FSUSA (waiting on Halo e-juice in the mail and another Gourmet Vapor order with a great sale going on right now). I'm also excitedly awaiting on a LR 901 atty and drip tip to experience dripping and an actual atomizer.
So that's about it, excited to be apart of a community of vapers that has helped me so much in this hobby. To contribute my own experiences and growing knowledge and continue learning from all of you in this fairly new, exciting, and complex experience that is the hobby of vaping.

I too, didn't get into this for a hobby. It sure has turned into one. If I'm not vaping I'm reading on ECF or mixing something else to vape or working on my vaping equipment. 
I have a supply/tool box that has a top shelf and 4 drawers, over 40 different flavors, and all the things needed for DIY. 
It not only got me off of smoking, but has become a fun pastime.
I'm going to have to set up some things for kayak fishing so I can take some equipment and supplies along and they won't get wet.
I might even have to order some more supplies for that!!!!!
