Really well written and funny post. You nailed it. From the first crappy $10.00 gas station e-cig (though I thought, "this COULD work if it hit harder/tasted better) to a feverish weekend reearching my first mod (decided on the Icon and very happy with it) to trying some godawful juice samples (but discovering Boba's Bounty, Puresmoker Silver Leaf Menthol and a few others keepers) to realizing that, as a work-from-home guy, I NEEDED a pass-through, to stalking the mailman, to, yes, you guessed it...practically forcing my smoking friends to try a puff off my PV....geez I feel like a religious zealot. This is a great site, and I'm looking forward to continuing the odyssey. Thanks for showing me I am not the only vaping lunar-bird around.

I was lucky enough to skip straight to step 4 with the help of the great people here. So far, I've avoided step 7 as well. Now I guess I'm around step 10, only I'm running out of juice that I actually like and waiting for the next shipment to arrive on Wednesday. Ordered last week but didn't get tracking info until today so it was a rough weekend worrying about when my juice would arrive.

Looks like you jumped to the mod more quickly then I did, but I know it's coming. For me, my next "step forward" is going to be mixing my own juice. My current go-to is RY4, but too my surprise I like the taste & aroma of Chocolate, but it gives me no TH at 12mg, yet 12mg MY4 delivers a nice little kick. Sounds like a job for Nosmokie the Jr. Chemist! :toast:

Now to go look up the Icon!
 
Great post nosmokie! I got lucky and skipped the first few steps. Started somewhere around step 6 and quickly jumped through the doorway of step 12. I'm still digging my 650mAh 510 batts, though am looking to pick up an 1100 or 1300 as I'm a fairly heavy vaper. I started with the wickless tank system, which I like, and am now vaping on a dual coil carto, which I also like. Now I just need to find some flavors that I can mix up to hold a candle to the Bee Liquid flavors that I started on!
