Yet another slippery slope...

Greetings vapestas, (to coin a phrase)
Checking in from SE PA. I'm somewhat new to the vape scene. I've been dabbling for a few months now. Ok OK Lemmie cut the BS. I dove into this hobby head first and boy am I drowning in a sea of e juice. The mail came today, that makes 35 flavors on hand. few in comparison to some I'm sure. If I know me, I'll be joining the local VA 12 step group soon. Vapers Anonymous. (So much for lame attempt at humor) I'm a middle aged smoker of 32 years, and man, do/did I smoke. Everything from cigs and cigars, (My collection of fine stogies topped 1000 about 4 years ago and since then have been consumed) to pipe and bowls. These lungs of mine sure took a beating. My Daughter of 7 years is the inspiration behind my transformation. Quite frankly I used to look down my nose at the vaping community, checked you folks off as a bunch of wanna be smokers, with your cotton candy and bubble gum ejuice. HERE have a cigar, man up!!! cough cough cough. My step-son used to come 'round the house with his fancy looking mod, toting a 120 of Swedish fish. He said here pops, have a pull on this. (as I crushed out a Marlboro and sneered) "Well how do you work this thing" I questioned, He did a demo and then it was my turn. I took a hit off that sucker like it was prom night and we just scored a z of Purple Kush! I darn near coughed as hard too. There was something about that Swedish sweetness dancing around on my pallet that won me over. I'm a chef and my pallet is not easily impressed. However, I felt as if I might be on to something. After about a month of ruminating, I caved and bought a Kanger topbox mini. Then I discovered the vape channels on YouTube. And somewhere between Subohmn Boy, Rip Trippers and Chris of Indoor Smokers I found a shingle to hang my hat. I quickly took up coil building and outgrew my Kanger just as fast. I passed it on to my wife who absolutely loves it as well. I'm sporting a Smok Alien these days with 4 RDA's at my disposal. (somehow I feel 4 is just a starting point) I like a different build for each RDA and well I see my collection growing quite extensively if I hold true to form. And now I found you folks. I'm looking forward to snooping around, learning new stuff and sharing my new found passion with yall. See you in the forums!!!

Welcome and agreed that 4 RDAs is an excellent starting point. My 4th one arrived yesterday in the mail, and I started vaping only 12 weeks ago.
