Hi!

Hello everyone!


Just getting into vaping really, have been using a ecig/carto style on and off for few years with little success with getting off cigs. I'm 32 and have been a smoker since I was 13 or so. Well, few months ago I decided to pick up a kit from local store on a recommendation from a friend. I got an 600mah Ego battery with a T60 style clearomizer and a few bottles of 18mg e-juice. I was hooked right away, absolutely love it! I have pretty much quit smoking cigs completely! I find myself wanting my vape in morning and after meals even, those were always the hardest times when quiting cigs, But I just love vaping! I work in IT as a bench tech building computers and reparing electronics. I have been pretty much obsessed with all things tech and electronic since I was a child. Building computers, ran my own BBS when I was 13 years old, have been getting into DIY/Maker stuff the last few years with all the great microcontrollers and parts available now.

So vaping is a perfect hobby, with the mods, tools, variety and hacking/DIY goodness that is involved it has really become something I enjoy just researching it! I have a VERY small vape budget right now as we just moved, I have a 3 year old son and a baby on the way so times are very hard right now. But I just ordered up a EGO-V 15w device with a kanger mini to boot! SO excited to get them in the mail! I'm looking forward to getting all my gear setup, my tools. mech mods, coils and lots of yummy premium liquid.

Looking forward to talking to you all!
Thanks,
Tyler D (BBQSalad)

Welcome Tyler!!! Sounds like you will be building your own box mods in no time. You apparently have the skills to do it.

Welcome to the Underground and glad your here! Grats on the baby on the way! You might want to check out Fasttech for inexpensive clones and parts, but since you can build, you will love their DIY parts as well...just have to wait a while for shipping.

Greetings and welcome!

Sounds like you'll fit in nicely around here. :)

Lots of various kinds of DIY geekery here and even a guy who does 3D printing. Me, I like to mess around with web stuff and computers, cook and take photos. :D

Used to love the BBS scene back in the late 80s - early 90s myself. Still have the 'ol Zoom 56k V92 and a Sportster 28.8 too...<chuckle>

Hello, Tyler aka BBQSalad <-sweet nick, dude
Fellow techie, nice!
I'm of the variety that does not want to throw anything out before scavenging any usable parts... and then store them for years without doing anything useful with them... and then throw them out when the wife raises hell, LOL.
Welcome!

Welcome Tyler. You will LOVE vaping and it only gets better in time, that much I promise you. Take it slow with gear and just have fun with the journey. That's how I started out and it has served me well. After the first year you don't even think about smokes anymore your senses start to get restored. Congrats on the baby as well...

P.S. Mount Baker Vapor and Myfreedomsmokes have great DIY supplies at good prices. I'm too fricken lazy to do it myself.
