Lol. I think I felt a little shy when I first started lurking here. Didn't take very long before I was like, "Woah, what's that guy's deal?" and "OMG they really just said that..." That was when I realized that I needn't fear being out-weirdoed here. I think that no matter how weird/awkward/clueless you may think you can be, someone here is bound to have you beat. And hey, they're pretty nice about it. Just don't say anything mean about anybody's favorite mod/juice and you'll be okay to say silly things and ask silly questions.
I think forums are the best for shy people. You can sit back and have interactions at whatever pace you're comfortable with. Give it a try!
I thought it would be best to start with a pen and then work my way up.
I've watched videos about coil building but I don't think i'm ready for all that yet.
Can't really knock 'em. I used egos for a very long time. That's how I and a few acquaintances of mine quit.
Now, here I am, a few years later, doing at least a build a day,
for fun. Once you get into rebuildables, you enter a whole new realm of enjoyment. It's the holy grail of the vape game. It's intimidating at first, but worth learning to do, should you ever decide to go all-in on getting the best possible vape. And there are plenty of people here who will be happy to help you get there.
