Finally decided to quit being lazy and register myself. I have been lurking for a while and kept running across names I recognize from other sites so decided it's time to contribute. For those that I have never met a little background first. I was when I switched a 2 to 3 pack a day smoker for about 30 years. Like almost everyone else I attempted to quit many times without success. I discovered and bought my first ecig kit in March of 2012 a Ego-C which allowed me to be one of the lucky ones in that I have never had to revert back to using analogs since the day I started vaping. Right after I started due to personal reasons I had to quit my job. So right from the beginning I had to be very frugal on what I could buy. So while I wanted backups for my ego-c's I could not afford them. So I started researching on the forums and built my first mod, also learned what I needed to start DIY eliquid. With anything I purchased I made sure to learn how to rebuild them from CE2 thru CE4 , the Novas, etc. All except cartomizers which I didn't like very much anyways. Now I pretty much only buy things that are made to be rebuilt RDA's ,RTA's and RBA's which are so much easier. I also continued to build my own mods (Including VV wood box mods and bottom feeders With the exception of my ego's and 6 Mech mods every other mod I own was made by me So if you ever hear me complain about my vape please remind me that I only have myself to blame. One other thing you should know about me is that while I like to contribute with tutorials and answering questions, I seem to be a lurker at heart so kinda glad that this site doesn't show post counts under your name. Thanks for reading and look forward to interacting with all.
