I'm not quite there yet. The veterans did warn me that it might take a little while...
You will get the hang of it.........eventually
My consumables are the cheap part and like Mr flakes it's the other bits that cost.

Thanks, XX. I appreciate the continuing encouragement.
I posted this in the womper thread so I figured I'd post it here for anyone interested.
In case anyone needs wire. Lightning Vapes is having a flash sale of 20% off all their wire. No coupon code needed. But I also used the code LV15 and got another 15% off too! I ordered 24, 26, and 28ga SS316L.
Sale ends tonight!

I ordered last night and pick up 22, 24 and 26g Kanthal to replenish my stock, added 4 HG2's and the Twizer (Ceramic Tweezer/Atty Wrench). I also used the LV15 and got a free 30ml bottle of their Rolling Thunder.
Guess we showed them!
(And, with the surge to 0.000000001 Ω coil toppers, and 50 megawatt devices, the cut-rate pricing for "lesser" devices has sure been good to us!)
Which is how I finally scored 2 P-thingies
And yet, there are higher mg. strengths offered by the manufacturers of these vliquids. You have to "special order" them. *HUH???*
In truth, they are available, but it's the VAPE SHOPS that do not order them. They get the 6mg, and occasionally some 9 or 12. They know what sells.
Unfortunately, it then APPEARS to the world that there simply are no more liquids at higher milligram strengths.It's so not true.
Yesterday i came into one one of newly opened shops, looking for 1.8 Ohm coils for my wife's Triton. They were trying hard to convince me there is no such coils, so i had to Google it for them of my phone lol. In most cases that's the situation in shops around here. Uneducated youngsters selling stuff they know little about. Makes me wonder how many freshly turned vapers are really sticking to the vape because of poor customer service in the shops like that one
Oh man this is just sad. Beyond sad.
You had to GOOGLE 1.8Ω coils for the employee?? Mamma mia. SMH.So sorry your B Box sale fell thru, @rhelton. I'm sure another will be around the bend for you, and I do hope you get one. Finer devices are few and far between.
I kinda like this thread, too.
Happy Vapes, TPuffers~
Wow, 11 likes on a post noting your one year anniversary! Did anyone else do a Google Image Search on Tootle Puffer the first few days? This is what I found,
Original file name was "stud3.jpg" and the word "puffer" was present on the web page but not "tootle" so apparently I did not use quotes on the search. Wonder how many pages deep this is now... Nah, I have a life outside of ECF

Reading all these posts about bad vape shops makes me realize how lucky I am to have the lone shop in my little town. I stumbled in there on a whim a few weeks back just to get an idea what the whole vaping thing was about. Told the lady I didn't want to buy anything but just wanted to learn a bit. She took about an hour telling me about all the benefits. I tested a bunch of flavors but wasn't impressed. Was using a really cheap battery with those plastic mouthpiece covers and everything was muted and weak. I finally decided I did like the strawberry.
She guided me to an iStick Basic, one of the cheapest products she had, and told me when if I decided to try something, this should be it. It was $39.99 and included 12ml of any juice I wanted plus an extra coil. It dawned on me that I could buy that thing for less than a carton of cigarettes and give vaping a try. I told her I wanted to give it a shot. If she had led me to something more expensive and complicated, I absolutely would not have bought anything since I truly had no intention of quitting smokes at that point.
She loaded it with juice, showed me how to replace the coil when the time came and, at my insistence, mixed my strawberry juice at 30mg...lol. Bless her, she did as I asked but also handed a second free bottle made at 18 mg and told me if I found the 30mg harsh or unpleasant to vape, just mix it half and half with the 18 to make a more reasonable 24mg vape. Needless to say, that's exactly what I did about 30 minutes later.
Here's the thing. After smoking for 48 years and working my way up to more than a carton a week of Winston reds (the long ones) I never smoked another cigarette from that day. I haven't really even wanted one. That's what's so remarkable.
Anyway, this is my long-winded way of saying the lady at my local vape shop probably saved my life. She most certainly made it more pleasant. She was patient, enthusiastic and not out to make a bunch of money off an unknowing doofus who just showed up with a bunch of annoying questions. God bless her.

That's a great story Mike! It was just meant to be that it worked out like it did! You were in the right place at the right time. She sounds like someone who's in the business to saves lives and not just to sell you what you don't need! Congrats!
love to hear your story and glad it happened
I follow the same story line - smoked hard and heavy about 45 yrs, started vapin' and never smoked again
just qwit ! I still look back and can't believe it, cigarettes were my friend, like cutting off a few fingers if I qwit...

What a marvelous story and equally lovely experience, Mike! She's one in a million thousand, and I applaud her for helping a new vaper with such kindness and wisdom!!!! If you see her again, please let her know that we appreciate her very much!!
I hear you. I really liked smoking, but not enough to want to die for it. I tell people I accidentally quit. Sounds weird, but it's true. I had no intention of quitting, and I'm still a bit mystified how it happened...lollove to hear your story and glad it happened

I stop in at least once per week now. The first few weeks it was several times just to talk and explore things. I still buy some juice from them, and I bought another iStick Basic as a backup a week into it. They mix their own juices, and everything I've tried is delicious. I decided I wanted a smoothie type flavor and asked for strawberry, banana and orange, and she mixed it for me. It's one of my favorites still.
I did tell her a couple weeks ago how much I appreciated the way she helped me that first day, and that I think she could have saved my life. Made her happy.
I have a long winded post on the "Older Folks...Front Porch" thread, but I was kind of accidental as well. I started intending to quit, but in a month, not the next day.
