Smartest?? Going subohm. My first subohm tank was a Orchid V6 and from that day on smoking was never an option.
Dumbest?? In trying to find the outer limit the Smok TFV4. Wonderful tank for those who its for but waaaaay to much for me. Not alot of money but it bugs me. It really does.

smartest: diy'ingHowdy, I thought it would be fun for us to share our best and worst stories related to vaping, something like this:
Dumbest: Priming a new coil with just flavor extract...licorice flavor
Second would be impulse buying my first subohm tank and APV, got a Horizon Arctic which is Great but got a DNA30 clone with it which is Not great...and doesnt even have the power for an Arctic :/ overpriced, too
Smartest: Joining E-cigarette-forum and reading it a Lot, and DIY liquid mixing.
Share your mistakes and A-Ha moments!
dumbeset: short circuiting and continuous firing lols
The smartest vaping decision I've made was to start vaping.
The dumbest thing was, for a short time, thinking there is such a thing as "premium" juices. No such thing. All juice has nicotine, vg/pg and flavoring. There are premium prices and e-juice makers who are geniuses at mixing flavors but there is no such thing as "premium" juice.

Vaping 12mg on sub ohm, felt sick the entire night
Throwing away the lemo 2 because I couldn't build coils
Buying several liquids on a whim only to spill them down the sink in disgust
Other than that, happy days!

Channel name?I'd say smartest and dumbest was joining ECF haha. I learn a lot here, but I want to buy a lot being here.
Another smart one was starting a YouTube channel. I didn't do it for a ton of subscribers, I did it to review vaping products and record and edit videos which I enjoy and to help with me being shy.
Smart: Buying a Reo Grand.
Let's see dumb, I'd have to say kissing a coil and getting a nice twisted coil imprint on my lip was the dumbest
Smartest: Getting a sigelei 150w box
Dumbest: Accidentally forgetting to turn the wattage down on a .9 ohm build and starting a flash fire in my RDA and burning the crap out of my mouth

Smartest- Listening to Troy, the owner of a local vape shop in Little Rock. He was a great guy and steered me to my first device and juice.
Dumbest- Telling my wife that vaping would be so much cheaper than smoking. "What came in the mail dear?" "Umm, nothing..."

I'm the kind of guy that always believes that if one is good, more is better. I have stocked up on lots of thing I thought were the cat's meow, only to find something better. Below are examples:
1. My first liquid. Bought 20 (yes 20) bottles the first time they were 15% off. 1 month later I hated that flavor. Didn't know my taste would change.
2. My first set-up was 808 cig-sized and cartos. Stocked up on cartos...still have 20 boxes (100 cartos). Also have several 808 batteries, but lost the charger.
3. Protanks. Yeah they were great at the time, but boy do I have a lot of protanks.
4. Fell in love with carto tanks. I have 8 carto tanks and their attendant cartos, and 2 carto punches, filling tools, all gathering dust.
5. Fell in love with Kayfuns. I now have 5. So far I'm still using those so maybe that's my smartest move.
All of the things I've bought were learning experiences and I don't regret buying the first one...it's all of the additional ones that were dumb...except the kayfuns I hope.

Smartest: Looper. 'Nuff Said.
Dumbest: Starting my adventures into RDAs by saying "I'm an engineer. I'll figure it out."

Absolute smartest thing may well have been simply starting vaping, but that might be obvious so lets go with something I decided on while actually being a vapor.
Smartest; DIY e-liquid is the one thing that has kept me able to afford everything else. This easily ranks number one on my list.
Dumbest; I purchased a Cherry Bomber mechanical box mod that was quite possibly the most janky thing ever.
I've had plenty of great moments and quite a few less than brilliant ones, but overall I'm super happy that I've kicked the smoke and picked up the vapor.

3 dumb moves: picking up my first actual mod off ebay (a Vamo that lasted all of maybe a day before crapping out on me). Grabbing a Kaiser tank at Sweet Vapes (in their defense, the guy DID point out that they weren't selling). Grabbing a Cthulhu off ebay without reading the description fully (ended up with a clone with messed up threading on the chimney)
Smartest. .. not starting at the bottom of the gear pool.
Dumbest. .. not starting at the top.

dumbest move: getting those ego style twist kits and old kanger clearomiser tanks. totally outgrew them in a week.
Smartest move: probably subtank to try rebuilding. no more reliance on prebuilt coils

I'll take a look. Didn't see your signature because mostly I'm on mobile
Smartest: switching to vaping
Dumbest: When making my first large order of juice. Since vg mutes flavor and throat hit, I assumed it would be ok to get max vg with 24mg and extra flavor shots. Problem? It was for a sub-ohm tank.

Dumbest: Buying 15K dollars worth of vape supplies from China (for my now defunct e-cig business) only to have them illegally destroyed by the FDA
Smartest: Buying a Provari....single best vape related purchase Ive ever made....and its still going strong at 4 and half years old.

Spending Hundreds on a searching for a harder hit on a mech.

Realizing a harder hit comes with regulated, and buying regulated. now my Mechs lay lost and forgotten

Smartest would be getting into bottom fed mods and tanks.
Dumbest would be buying a clone regulated mod.
