Hello everyone,

Just wanted to say howdy. I am new here. As a matter of fact, was lurking for just a few minutes when I saw a picture someone posted of a Subtank RBA section, that had the entire positive section loose and set askewed, so I joined specifically so I could warn him about the danger that it posed.

But while I am here, I may as well hang out a while, if you all dont mind a bloke from Texas. BTW, don't blame me for George Bush, I did not ever vote for him, for governor or president. LOL.

Real quick about myself, spent 15 years in the US Army, been married 36 years, have 5 daughters and one boy, all grown now and providing grand-kids by the score.

I was a smoker since 9 and a 3 pack a day man for 25+ years. Had my last nasty Jan 2015.

Vaping saved my life. Gotta see the grandkids grown up. Vaping almost immediately became a hobby too.

Started wrapping and rebuilding my own coils in the BVC coils in Kanger T3D and then the GeniTank. My first real vaping equipment was the Kanger Subox kit.

I wont list all the devices and other vaping paraphinallia I have now, but right now I am running my Vaporgate Alliance v2 with a 316L Fused Clapton, on my iStick 100 TC mod. And am vaping some really good DIY "Busts-A-Nut" that I made, through it right now.

The eliquid recipes is what drew me here, always looking for more flavor and better ideas.

I guess this will bring an end to my introduction.

BTW, mods, I hope I did not violate some rule by posting outside of the "new user corner" before my first post here, .....

Good to meet you, hope I can be a help to someone.

Yeah, my very first ISP log on user name way back in 1994, was Gandalf.

I read "The Hobbit" when I was 8 or 9, and 30 or 40 times since then. Read many other Tolkien books and have been a fan of the Tolkien series every since. Almost named my son after him, but the ex-wife was having no part of that.

Loved the Peter Jackson rendition of the LOTR, and despise Peter Jackson for what he did to "The Hobbit" in his depiction.

But this may be off-topic, so will not further elaborate, but thanks.
