But also, I don't like tobacco vapes, never have.
One of my first juices was a tobacco flavor.
I had bought a cigalike (can't even remember which one!) and realized right away that it wasn't going to do the job.
Went back to the place where I got it and talked to the guy there a bit and he said "Oh, you want a juice pen!"

He had a Rejuve kit which was a little ego battery with a top coil "octopus" tank and there were a few different flavors of juice there, so I grabbed a coffee and tobacco.

Tobacco was meh. Coffee was probably meh as well.
But that got me to googling "juice pens" and so started my journey to this point.

    Definitely!
    I got on board right about when regulated mods were really improving and sub-ohm tanks were starting to come into their own.
    Seemed like every month or two there was a new shiny!

    When I first started, almost all the folks in the stores were using mechs and drippers. Probably a year or so later most had switched to regulated/sub-ohm setups.

    I never cared for retail juices. Thought they were way over-flavored and too sweet. Got into DIY within a month of starting my vape journey.

    Friends of mine who owned a local vape store were heavy into DIY. They taught me a lot. His wife never allowed me to use their notebooks. Said those would be worthless to me. She was right. I had to learn the flavors for myself and make notes that made sense to me.

    I'm down to 7 setups currently. 2 regulated mods, other 5 are mechs. 3 RTA's and 4 RDA's on mech squonkers.

    Actually it's 8 setups, I always drip on an old brass King tube mech with my morning coffee.

    I never count the handful of RDA's I use for testing mixes.

    Good morning :)
    I still have my mechs, but they are carefully packed away for in case I need them. I used mechs exclusively for many years until the geekvape solos came calling to me. My Super T mechs are treasures to me though. All my RDAs are carefully packed away and don't really use them, not since I got an Erlkönigin.

    Morning, mixers.

    I still have my mechs, but they are carefully packed away for in case I need them.

    Likewise, last resort. :) And a hand full of Kicks and fuses for them, as well.

    Although, with my stash, not likely to ever need them. :)

    I never used kicks or fuses i 100% trusted my builds with a trusted ohm meter. I just think I might have trouble finding button top batteries when the time does come to use them
