Long time lurker, first time poster.

Zach here from Asheville, just wanted to say thank you to everyone who posts in here. This website has been incredibly useful for everything from coil builds, product/site/juice reviews, and general e-cig user advice.

I started vaping 3 years ago on a cig-alike (Trio) and was able to quit analogs for 3 months. It was never really close to a cigarette though and when stress levels became very high, the Trio wasn't cutting it. I eventually ended up back on analogs.

Flash forward 3 years (February 2014), I meet a woman who was an analog smoker but became a vapor. Her "magic wand" was the first Ego style e-cig i'd ever tried. Vision spinner 900 and a PT2. Simple, elegant, and surprisingly effective. I wasn't a fan of the fruity flavor she had, but she had this tobacco blend called "The Dude" (Asheville Vapor) that had me hooked.

After that I tried smoking the analogs I still had remaining but comparatively, my Marlboro lights really only made me feel like ...... I never bought another pack.

I borrowed one of her three backup batteries, bought a Cheap clearomizer and some tobacco flavor ejuice at the gas station (super gross, I now know). Eventually I got my own battery and moved on to kanger EVODS.
Now I have a Protank 2 mini OTW from fasttech and am debating on buying an authentic Vision Spinner 2 1650 (gotvapes). Trying to keep my PV small-ish or I would consider mods.

My ultimate goal for a personal vape is the lightsaber mod people have been doing using the "Master replicas .45 scale lightsaber".
I'm such a nerd and I think that would be the most awesome and hilarious mod no other e-cig user around you would probably have.
the really question is should I do Anakin's Saber or Luke's?

...And now I'm just rambling. So..

Thank you again to everyone who shares information here, knowledge is power.
Thank you E-cig for giving me nicotine without the other BS in analogs.
Thank you to everyone who helps run the forum, you help make connecting with other vape enthusiasts possible.
and
Thank you for reading this.

-Zach
 
Thanks for being so welcome guys!

notes for Asheville people:

New store in town "Vaperageous" (off tunnel road behind Pomodores) is amazing! Great selection of 100% VG juices that are made in Asheville, 100% organic line coming out if that's your bag, and best prices on coils/parts/tanks in town.
Customer service is spectacular compared to the other shops around.

Asheville vapor still has the best tasting Honey Tobacco I've ever had though.They also carry an awesome 100% VG brand called Vapor cloud that is pretty popular on here.

They are a 20 minute drive from downtown and their prices on other things are kinda jacked up, but their juice selection is decent.
 
I'm up the valley from you and new to the forum, but not as new to vaping. Have you checked out Dark City Vapor in Black Mountain? They're on 70 in the WNC shopping center. Fairly good prices, great staff, and a good bit of local flavors at a reasonable price. They are also carrying RBAs and rebuild items now and looking to open another store a bit closer to y'all down the valley. Also, looks like MadVapes is opening up in town as well, just not sure when. Vape On, Neighbor!!
 
Depends on what you're looking for as far as the drive! They have a real good selection of flavors and will mix it in pretty much any % you want, his standard is 70pg/30vg. The guy that builds coils there for RBA/RDAs prefers 100% VG and gets his juice on site, so probably is worth looking into.
I'm also looking forward to Madvapes for equipment/prices that no one else seems to be able to beat, and I'll drive down to Patton (yuck, I hate traffic on Patton) to go check it out.
Ahhh I've been meaning to go there! Is it worth the 45 minute trip for me?
I'm really most interested in good local juices, I've been looking for another good source.
Preferably 100%vg.
Mad vapes is coming to town?!!
When? That's such awesome news!
