Overdue introduction

Hello all, I have been watching VU for a bit now and I thought I would finally introduce myself. I first tried vaping back in the 2014 mech/ ego pen/ provari (had em all) hay-day, it did not stick. I continued smoking after a brief 7 day hiatus. I was a two to two and a half pack a day smoker for 28 years, i hit the point where I had sleep propped up in a sitting position in order to be able to breath at night.

January, i hit a point of knowing I was in real trouble, I knew my health was going to start spiraling. I came back to vaping to find a very different world. I checked out a few shops, had them check my old mechs and batteries to make sure they wern’t going to blow up on me and got an intro on how to start building my own coils which I didn’t have to do back in the day. I picked up a Reuleaux Gen 3 and a Alpine RDTA to use as an ohm meter and to update my gear. I picked up a second one while duel using smoking a pack to pack and a half a day, then I was introduced to the concept of nic hitters and 50mg nic salt. I was able to cut back to a PAD leaving the smokes at home while I was away at work. I connected to people in a different forum that acted as a support network and had my last cigarette 2/14/18.

Mods in my daily rotation are a Vicious Ant Knight, 2 DotMod Squonkers, 2 Wismecs, and will be picking up an Asmodus Pumper this coming Friday. I have really gotten into building and dove head first into DIY with sub ohm nic salts, I got off the Sourins and now just vape 6-9mg/ml sub-ohm. I can do 3mg, but I kill too many batteries throughout the day. I have already started stockpiling for the vapocalypse, I am at close to a 10 year supply of unboxed gear and nicotine in storage, will be ordering a gallon of nic salt next month for friends...

@Letitia9 told me that I should connect with some guy that goes by the name Cromwell here...

Nice collection. And Glad to hear your off those cancer sticks! I need to quit lol, I quit for a month then got tired of my mods and went back to cigarettes. Got a VGOD Pro 150 yesterday from @bucksfan1976 and been using it. I've only had one cigarette today and hopefully will be the last.

I had a falling out with Retired1 over there and am person non gratis.
wound up telling him to consume excrement and expire.
My first interaction with retired1, two days into my membership there he threatened “to call the authorities” because I was asking about driving in zero visibility from the clouds in my car even with the windows down...

I was on other prudish admins radar where I was waiting for them to pop up in my followers list too. My goal is to post so much they give up reading them and infractions get lost in the noise while desensitizing and counterconditioning them, kinda a habituation psychology experiment...

They were seriously hunting me down... they don’t like people hiting “ultra member” in a month, disrupts the balance of members only posting once a week...

I joined VU while the admins were stalking me as a back up; kinda like stocking up for the FDA ban. The shinyitis support thread was instrumental in helping me finally quitting the stinkies.

Yeah Returd1 is a real piece of work, actually he's just a fucking Stool Sample and the best recruiter for VU there is.

Welcome aboard.

He's had countless complaints to Oliver (the site owner) about in from numerous members. The only thing that has been done is one or two slaps on the wrist, he settles down for a bit but then goes back to is same old shit like anything he doesn't personally like he bans, deletes, etc. Shit I've caught him numerous times modding out comments on the exact same grounds he's made in the same thread.

Anyway I still participate there from time to time for there some good info can be found there from time to time.

I only stick to the shinyitis support group thread... Been there from the start and I get in trouble whenever I venture out...

Check out their forums. Like the way they lay out theirs here much better. Towards the bottom is the hardware threads, you don't have to get verified to buy or sell. Nice Therion 75c up now for $75 from gadget!.
Wow! Bills first though!

If bills and USPS don't break me I may pick it up. I bought one of my 166s from him. Great seller.

Hey, are you related to that little dude I see on my front porch, who always eats my cat's food? I bet you're his cousin - you look just like him. :p

Welcome to VU! Good that you know some folks here already!

One night when we lived down near Savannah, I heard cats fighting out in the yard, and went dashing out to see if my cat was involved in the ruckus. I was out on the deck, which was beyond a screened-in porch, looking out into the dark, when I heard a singularly unpleasant noise behind me. I turned around, looked down, and there was one of your kin HISSING AT ME from INSIDE A DOG FOOD BAG! I was trapped on the deck! Finally I took my flip flop off and threw it at him, and he scurried off behind the porch furniture, and I went running back in the house.

You've got a big family. They live everywhere, and seems like we are always feeding them. Dammit.
