So... I decided to quit smoking two months ago, and decided to try vaping again. The first time I used an electronic cigarette was in 2010. I got a starter kit of blu cigs. They were cool at first, but they still used cartridges with seperate atomizers, and honestly tasted pretty bad after a while. That didn't last long.
When I decided to quit smoking, I did some research online and noticed that electronic cigarettes had evolved a lot since then, so I went to a local vape shop and picked up an ego variable voltage battery and an ego usb passthrough. I was really impressed with how much they had changed.
A few weeks later, I was getting frustrated with the battery life on the ego, and the passthrough had stopped working completely. I started looking online again and realized that there are tons of different options, and practically a whole vaping culture. Then I met someone through a friend that works at a vape shop, and I tried his mechanical mod. I was like

Basically, a month later, and I've been doing tons of research and reading on vaping. Electronics had already been one of my hobbies, so I picked up the basics pretty quickly. My first project was rebuilding my broken usb passthrough. I used a vacuum belt remover tool I found laying around, a usb extension cable, a 6A 120v momentary pushbutton, and the ego connector from the broken one.
It turned out pretty well for a first try imo. It works really well with computers or adapters that can supply 2+ amps. It vapes at 10 watts with a 2.5 ohm cartomizer.
Now I'm using a 4nine mechanical mod with a .2 ohm dual coil dripper and it's totally awesome. I haven't smoked a single cigarette since the day I decided I would quit. I'm also working on designing some unique usb passthroughs and unregulated MOSFET mods using transparent polycarbonate tubes w/ LED lighting. The first batch is almost done for the usbs.
I signed up here to try to learn more from the pros, pretty much. So... hi (^_^)/
