Hi Everyone

[Guitarded]

I've been here for some time but never posted. I was very active on another Forum where I spent well over a year and came to the realization that due to their policies and the belligerent arrogance of a few, I no longer want any part of membership there. I rendered myself anonymous. No moderator ever took action against me a single time, yet for all intents and purposes I am banned. (No names) They can have their elitist "mixer" clique but I have to say that I established many online relationships with some very nice people that I will miss. I suspect that you will see a lot of them flee here.

I am way past 65 and retired. I smoked for more than 50 years and after many failed attempts to quit, I bought my first vape gear Sept 1 2016. I have not touched a cigarette since. I began DIY mixing shortly thereafter. There are some really great recipes here that I have made.

I live in the north central part of the state of Indiana-istan and actively (as much as I can) fight against their idiotic anti-vape and anti-everything tyranny. Vaping saved my life.

Welcome to freedom and thanks for sharing your story

Thank you, but I have never been a member there. Checked it out several times and said nope, not for me.

Oh my bad. I was certain that's who you meant. Most of us fled from there, LOL.

I suppose it won't hurt anything to say where I was. I was on ELR and its quickly becoming like ecf. Its too bizarre and crazy to get into, but as JuicyLucy said... freedom. I don't want to be involved in all that bickering. A place to share info, interact with like minded people and maybe have a little fun in the process is all I'm after. There is a clique over there that feel like anytime they want to vent their spleen on someone they are entitled to. My take is that if you wouldn't say something to a person's face, don't post it.

Well, you landed in the right place for that. I love our DIY section here. I've never been on the forum at ELR.

Check this out. This is not me but someone I liked who was one of the most active there.

Maybe a little extreme?

Almost like Scientology, except their contracts are longer, I think.

Thanks everyone for the warm greetings.
