Vaping History Book

[CAAB]

I thought it would be interesting to read a comprehensive, concise history of vaping. I feel there are a lot of interesting stories that are at risk of being lost over time.

I am curious, what types of things do you think belong in a vaping history book? Chapters, stories, interviews from specific people? That sort of thing. And should the book be from an individual author, or a different author per chapter, or a community contribution?

 

[CaveFurby]

I think one of the main chapters should be about the history of the ECF forum, its where the majority of vapers went to learn more.

It's be interesting for me if it included some pictures and sories about the early home made devices and things folk converted then to make mods.

That's a great idea. It'll be a huge book. Another aspect would be evolving organization; online and off (meet ups and such). And the scientists like Kurt and DVap. There's a lot to cover.

and The Vaporacle Free Steeping Service:

1. Send us your full bottle of e-juice along with a self addressed stamped enveloped.
2. We will lock it in a drawer for you with the cap off for six months.
3. If your bottle is empty when we return it, that's normal and caused by natural evaporation.

It was surreal that he described people & discussions I recognized from the main MBV thread.

Mamu, Altoids mods, horse syringe tanks, Taryn spin, Boge-gate, tea bags, having to convert RDAs to bottom feed and then getting spoiled by Catfish Atty Mods... oh the memories.

(man I’m feeling old )

Don't need no book... ECF is "da book"... written as it all happened.

These last few chapters have been rather apocalyptic. Chaos in Motion.

Speaking of, looking for nicotine supplies available in recent days, noticed that Box Elder seems to be gone.

Just last night I went through a hole of early hardware models and vape ideas , like 2008-9 and got linked back here from 2009.i find that really interesting, the rapid evolution and it really was different back then, I keep thinking of the time I ordered from China and eliquid with ...... was available, cartomizer days. It didn't stick for me and I smoked few more years before coming back around early rta subohm, I'd like a good read on it all

 

[sonicbomb]

It's been a story of rapid technical innovation, as stated much of which was birthed right here.

If anyone wants to see the evolution of vaping. All one has to do is look through the General Vaping Forum, starting from the very beginning:

https://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forums/general-vaping-discussion.7/page-3500

Always fun looking at old threads to see what's changed as far as advise and gear.

I like the concept, and others have jumped in, but I have to say... do you actually have any contribution? You start a thread but have no input (not actually saying that's wrong but...)

 

[Skeebo]

I think the great "Best NET awards slash Nicoticket fiasco" should be in the last chapter. Such fun times can never be relived or repeated.

I think what got me interested in this topic was when I watched this video recently and realized that there is a rich history on vaping that has happened in such a short time. It led me to believe that although I thought I knew a lot about vaping, I only really knew a fair amount about a small slice.

I got the feeling like I wanted to pick up a book, not an overly thick encyclopedia size, but a decent size book that could give me a sense of context. So maybe I could get a better sense of perspective.

I have been very interested in responses thus far and have been reading up on things as a result. Again, it make me realize how much there is to learn.

Here's that video by the way that got me started on this train of thought:

Boge carts, I could still enjoy one if need be. I seem to remember a sock cleaning method.
