Hi all,
I suppose I should have started here but I wasn't sure what type of forum this was so I first posted in the questions section. But HELLO! And thank you for the warm welcome!
I was kind of taken aback by the extremely friendly and helpful community when I first posted. I'm glad to have found this site and claimed it as my home for all that is vaping.
As far as my background goes, it's a short story: I've been a smoker for a little over 20 years. I've managed to cut down on my smoking from 2 packs a day to 2 smokes a day but I can't seem to let go of those last couple. Enter e-cigs and vaping. For the last 5 years or so, I've been vaping on and off as a means of substituting smokes. In the last year, I have managed to go 3 months without smoking on two separate occasions by simply vaping instead. Moreover, the first time I used nic-free juice which was a hell of an accomplishment for me as you can imagine I find it comes in waves. Sometimes I'm strong and feeling super confident where I could just quit smoking cold turkey. Other times, usually during periods of high stress, I really need a crutch or more specifically, a better alternative.
A few weeks ago I finally made the jump from a pen-style e-cig to an actual mod (Reuleux DNA200) and RDA (Lush). I'm having a heck of a time figuring it all out and have been experiencing very harsh vapor due to a number of factors, namely higher than recommended nic levels and my particular coil build. VU forums have been a lifesaver for me so far! I'm very impressed with the level of intelligent, well thought-out responses I've received so keep 'em coming!
Anyway, before I babble on too much (I said it was it was a short story after all lol), I will end this post here. Thanks again for the warm welcome everyone and I look forward to getting to know you all better in the coming months.
Cheers,
