Well, this Forum is a breath of fresh air! My name is Lili, I'm middle aged but age shouldn't matter in my quite sane opinion. I started vaping at the begininning of 2010 and in "vape years, that was along time ago" 
My daughter was in the hospital after having my second grand daughter and she showed me one of those vapor sticks which looked like a cigarette and glowed red at the end. Her mother-in-law had given it to her so she wouldn't have to go all the way downstairs to smoke outside since she had a C-section and was in a world of hurt as it was. It got my daughter through thru her hospital stay and got me searching the web for this awesome new way to get my nicotine without all of the awful things that I hated about cigarettes. Back then finding e-cigs wasn't as easy as it is now. I found this thing that looked like a cigarette pack. It had 1 e-cig stick, a screw on charger and 5 filter looking things which claimed it would last as long as a carton of cigarettes... what a naïve dumb ass I was. It wouldn't hold a charge for more than a few minutes and each cartridge had about 5 drags worth of juice in it. I was soooo mad that I really started researching. I did find what I was looking for and within a really short amount of time was completely off cigs, making my own juices and constantly looking for the next best piece of equipment (within my budget). I was probably the fastest person to go from an EGO type battery to a mod after about 3 months vaping when I bought a SILVER BULLET! Anyone who's been vaping for awhile now knows just what I mean. And here I am now learning the basics of electronics in order to buy batteries and equipment safely when doing my own atomizer builds. I love it like many of you and yes, it's a hobby now as well. So to any Newbies, good luck, have fun, and listen to the "seniors" they have a lot of knowledge to pass on!
