Sup Y'all!!
Thirty five year FORMER smoker here.
Started vaping eight days ago and have smoked TWENTY analogs since!
Normally in that time frame it would have been twenty PACKS! 8-o Holy Crap I wish I had found out about these things sooner!

I finally stopped by my local B&M and bit the bullet so to speak. Walked out with two Vision Spinners a couple of VapeOnly CE-5's and some juice...haven't looked back.
The ProVari polished stainless with the extended battery and three ProTanks will be arriving Friday (and yes I'll probably tinker with them...like everything I own LOL)

Every analog I now smoke taste worse then the last! I cant feaken believe it!!! Cold turkey,gum,patches,Chantix...nothing worked.
And here I am enjoying vaping more then the Marlboros! Never would have thunk it

Oh..... Thanks for all the info I picked up on the sly around here,it's really made it easier to make my mod decisions.

Looken forward to learning more tips and tricks on how to get the best of vaping from Y'all!

Oh yeah......YeeeeeeeHawwwwww!!!!!

Welcome to the ECF TexRx.. and to not having to smoke..

Many of us have a similar story.. 36 year "Former" smoker here.. 2 pack a day of Swisher Sweet Cherry little cigars for the last 5 years of that. Took a month to get down to NONE, that was about 13 months ago.
Love messing with my devices.. even built a few!

The things you can do are endless!!

That's awesome Tex!!! Congratulations and keep up the good work!

Welcome to ECF and congratulations! 40+ years smoking 1 1/2 pad, haven't had a cigarette in 22 months. I still find it unbelievable how easy it was to quit.

Good choice of set ups, vape on!

Welcome to the forums, and congrats on the shiny new Provari! I guess it's true, ya'll do everything bigger in Texas, most folks start with a lesser mod than the Provari!

36 years for me, quit analogs the same day I started vaping though

and welcome to the ECF

oh and in regards to the Provari on order

to quote from Deacon Aegis on 4/13/2013

"ProVari's qualify you to become a member of the ProVarinati, which will make you powerful and attractive to women. You may also get a job at MI-6 with a Provari, and everyone wants to drive an Astin Martin, right?"

Yeah the tinkering is something I'm looking forward to. I was a machinist for twenty five years and still have access to machines,so I'll be doing some structural mods for sure.
I cant leave anything alone. At least thats what the wife tells me.

 

[TexRex]

Thanks Unc!
Vaping sure makes it easier.

 

[TexRex]

Thanks Rosa!

 

[TexRex]

Hey Dev!
Compared to what I spent monthly on ciggs,I consider it a bargain! LOL

 

[TexRex]

Hey Jim!
Nice to know I'm qualified to enter the ProVarinati.
So when do I get the blueprint for taking over the world? I'm an impatient .... like that.
Which I guess could explain my lack of ability to quit smoking..LoL.

Did a lot of micro machining doing artificial heart R&D. Making E-Cigg parts would be a piece of cake.

Welcome TexRex, Texas Represent!

34 year smoker here, I vaped on and off for 2 years before making the jump 100%. I found that a good supply of flavors you like to reduce boredom along with an ever growing collection of gear to tinker with makes it easy not to smoke. I did not start vaping to save money, I did it to quit smoking. I am ok with spending my Marlboro budget on gear and juice

Micro Machining Project:

A top feeding dual coil option RBA that holds 4 mil minimum, doesn't leak, has adjustable air flow and works with all wick types.

Because keeping hot juice flow back out of the tank is good, some juices taste better on stainless wick, some on cotton and some on bubble stone.

Once I get my hands on some tanks and heads I'll get a better understanding on exactly how they work and what can be done to improve them.
I'd be willing to bet most things have been tried at one point or another...but thats never stopped me from taking things apart just in case they missed something.

I've found most things can be improved for the simple reason that it's not always cost effective to spend the extra time in the manufacturing process for the benefit gained.

Kinda like port polishing on an intake manifold for a ford focus....it just dont pay.
