Welcome! Introduce yourself here...

[TWolf]

You know, it occurred to me that we had an introduction thread in the social group, but hadn't started one since we obtained a forum! So here goes....

Hi everyone! Welcome to the official forum for Kentucky, the Bluegrass Vapers! A big thanks goes out to Zaija who started our little group, as well as to PureVapes, MacArthurBug, and kmking who are founding members by default at this point.

We've already had a few small get-togethers and hope to see you at one real soon. We'd love to start having regular monthly meetings and are open to suggestions anytime. Keep an eye out for updates on those.

Meanwhile, let me start things off by telling you a little about myself.
I live in Lexington, currently with my 18yr old son. He'll be moving into a dorm at UK soon though. I smoked 2+ PAD for 33 yrs. After about a month of research, I began vaping on February 11th of this year with a Janty eGo. After a couple of days, I put the analogs aside for good. Since then I've helped a few co-workers get started vaping and given info to whoever shows the least bit of interest! I recently purchased my second PV, a Nuck Fist Pack, because I wanted to try variable voltage and loved the idea of much longer battery life. So.... I plan to continue vaping for as long as I'm breathing at this point and would love to see it become much more mainstream.

That's me in a nutshell... Now, how about you? Step up and say hi!

See ya soon.... Teri

Well, I'll join in.

I'm Jim. I live in Louisville. I'm married and have two sons. One just graduated from WKU, the other is in his second year at IUS.
We are all UK Wildcat fans though

I smoked about 1 PAD of analogs for almost 30 years. After researching a couple of weeks, mainly on ECF, I started vaping June 12th and went analog free June 16th. Just passed my one month mark. I only have one PV, a ProVape-1, 510. I'm wanting to get another PV as a alternate and backup. I have been looking at the GGTS (looks like that thing can do any configuration and it's has a loyal following). Also looking at the Silver Bullet. Like TWolf,, I want to try various voltages, HV and LR attys etc. I am still learning things about vaping (today about cart filler mods). Also started DIY mixing last weekend. Made four small samples. Boy, do I need to make some adjustments and find my sweetspot. Also learned that a drip tip to taste test these samples would make it much easier.

And in the immortal words of TWolf...
"I plan to continue vaping for as long as I'm breathing at this point and would love to see it become much more mainstream."

I hope to catch up with everyone.
Enjoying the journey,
Jim

Hey guys,
I'm from Somerset, Kentucky. Glad to find other Kentucky vapers as I haven't run into any I've been vaping since August 2009. My wife joined me in January. We currently use dse901's and SmokeTip(Kr808d-1). I'm looking forward to my first vapiversary, LOL. I'm currently waiting for my first order from Halo to arrived, so I'm like a kid 2 days before Christmas

 

[TWolf]

Welcome to both of you!

BigEasy - We're trying to put together a meeting in Louisville soon. Bring some of you DIY and we'll play guinea pig for you! +1 for drip tips too.

Warbdan - Aug '09! That's great! Hope you and your wife can join us sometime. It's so rare to run into another vaper "in the wild". Great that you all had each other for support though!

 

[Lumiis]

Wow, where do I start? There is a Lot of info about my work / school life in the new Co-Host thread, other than those 2 things I rarely do anything but bust my tail at work by day and study by night.

I have been vapin for about a year(ish) now from a pack a day (though I still smoke occasional, unfortunately.

Hope to meet some of the newer people of the thread soon, not sure of my availability for Vapefest, but will most likely be at the Renn. again.

Warb - Livin in London, prolly about 20 mins from where you are in the Set.
Glad to have some vapers nearby, most live in Louis, Lex, Rich.

I'm Nikhil, good to meet you all. Started vaping at the end of January with a 510 kit from CigNot, and I had a BB from altsmoke for a while, which I traded for my Dad's Buzz since he prefers the lower end of the voltage range and I'm loving the variable voltage.

I do a lot of DIY stuff and I'm planning on starting a business selling high quality custom e-liquid as well as flavorings for DIY.

 

[Jynn]

I'm Jynn,
I too live in Louisville and am a DIYer, I'm pretty new to the whole vaping thing, but am currently using a joye510.


P.S.
If you need taste testers for your liquids Nikhil, lemme know

 

[kmking]

Im Kelly King.

I work as a Citrix Administrator (Server Admin) at UK Hospital in Lexington, KY. Been vaping since March of this year. Started out on a NCig and moved to KR808D's then ultimately to the Silver Bullet.

Know TWolf from our kids who were in High School marching band together (though hers has now graduated).

 

[aidanpryde18]

Hello everyone.

My name's Billy, I am a brand new vaper as of Thursday. I went from 1 PAD to now, maybe 5 cigs a day and I am hoping to cut that. My wife and I started vaping together, she loves her 510 and I am content with my eGo, although the acquisition disorder is kicking in whenever I see the V3 Stick.

I work in IT for the federal govt. not the FDA, thankfully. Lived in Louisville all my life and like BigEasy, I am Blue, through and through.

I am trying to quit smoking because I am an avid cyclist as well and could tell how much the habit is hurting my cycling. Looking forward to meeting everyone at a meet-up some time.

Laissez les bons temps rouler

[TWolf]

Welcome Jynn and Aidanpryde18! Sounds like we may have several new faces at the next meeting, Can't wait to meet you all!

 

[Jynn]

Jynn.

Unfortunately I will not be at the meet up as I work that night, but it's a pleasure to meet you anyways. Maybe I can catch the next one.

 

[Nikhil]

We could do it early so you can at least be there for an hour or so, as long as it works for everyone else. What time would you have to leave Jim Porter's for work?

Sorry, off topic.

 

[TWolf]

Edited the post, Jynn. Using my son's netbook with the itty-bitty keyboard, so.... I'm going to go with that excuse.

We can start early... Would hate it if you couldn't drop in and say hi at least!

 

[Jynn]

Id probably have to leave at 5, and I dont usually even get out of bed until around 4. I'm also cripplingly shy so wouldn't be much fun anyways.

 

[TWolf]

Well that's settled then... We'll see you at 4. (jk) Please come though. I'll help you hold down the corner. Like to hide behind the camera myself as I fight agoraphobia / panic attacks all the time.

I'll bet the fav beverage of your choice that you have a good time even if I have to tease a smile out of ya! Besides... you'd miss out on the possibility of taste testing PureVapes latest DIY!

 

[Jynn]

I'll see what i can do, but I make no promises.

 

[TWolf]

I'll see what i can do, but I make no promises.

Deal!

 

[Xion665]

Umm...hello...lol. Name's Tyler. I live in Lexington. Been truly vaping for about 4 months. Got my 510 a year ago but battled with analogs until i used Chantix to quit for good. Still needed a vice/habit though, so my PV keeps me happy.

I've never ever met another e-cig user before...EVER. lol. So, any meeting that i can make, I'll gladly attend. I saw something about early August but I'll be in Canada at that time.

 

[Lumiis]

Wow ... Canada .. Interesting lol, I knew a canadian once, anything special your traveling for?
