HI!
So i finally decided to man up and register to my favorite vaping forum. Been lurking for months, reading daily and soaking up the info.
Vaping since 18.1.2014. and haven't touched the analog once (tho cravings are still here)
The story... (feel free to skip)
Back in November my depertment got shut down and we were offered a part time job which i had to accept as i needed to provide for my family and it was impossible to find another job. Went down from 900€ to 310€. Life became way more harder and i basically had to find alternative for everything. One of the hardest parts was finding a solution for smoking. Smoked analogs for almost 15 years, up to 2 packs a day, and i knew if i keep that pace i will be working whole month just to have enough for smokes.
First thing google threw at me as an alternative were e cigs...
Research began and spent days of reading...
Went through all the starter kits, regulated stuff, mods and rebuilding... learning and reading how stuff works, reading a lot of reviews, comments (good/bad/flaws/advantages)and discussions as i didn't want to jump into something just to regret it after. i had limited amount of money (some savings left) and i knew i had only one attempt to make it right and if i fail i'll have to deal with it.
Then one day i started conversation about it with peps at work to see if they have any knowledge about it and what they think of it. During that conversation a guy from "geek squad" interrupted us with "are you also into vaping" and he almost started to cry when i told him that i'm starting to. He was stealth vaping for nearly 3 years and didnt have anyone to share the knowledge and stories with. So our friendship began and i've learned almost everything and got better understanding of things i didn't quite understand. Got everything explained and shown LIVE lol.
I pretty much settled for mech mod and dripping as it kinda suited me the most - also the shine effect did it's part and i knew i will eventually end up buying mech.
Skipped the whole "starter kit and working towards something better" part as money was a big issue for me (it still is lol).
It was a bit hairy at the beginning with all the coiling and checking batteries (was a bit overwhelmed with info also) but once i got into the routine i started to love it - maybe the only regret i have is not buying RBA instead of RDA... but saving for a kayfun and hopefully in month or two it should be mine (also suggestion for something with decent build and non-leaking is more than welcome)
That was my start and i believe i came quite far since then, from 24mg to 6mg and burning from 5ml down to 1.5-2ml juice (i still dont have juice for all day vaping but mixing my way to it) and most important i haven't had a single analog!
Cheers
