Well today marks two years since a nasty analog touched my lips. I like others have said sort of see this as the last major milestone in my journey to leave tobacco behind. It's no longer a struggle it's simply a way of life at this point. I thought instead of patting myself on the back I might share a few things I have learned and realized: Backups for backups on tanks, batteries and coils are key to success. You spent hundreds of dollars a month on analogs for one months investment you can be set for a year and never be in a bad spot. Vaping can save you money if you keep it simple. I mean spend what you want it's your money lol, but for me saving money was a motivating factor and at this point including the cost of equipment and supplies it has cost me about $1.60 per day to vape. Compared to about $7-8 a day on analogs or more when you consider how many people bummed them off you haha that is considerable savings. If it's a hobby for you awesome but keeping up with the next guy will result in less savings or even more cost when in reality a simple battery, tank, coil and liquid will get it done lol. Do not hide the fact you vape in fact do the opposite just do it in a respectful way considerate of others. In restaurants and places that it is not openly accepted step into the bathroom stall and stealth vape, have done this since day 1. I refuse to go to a "smoking area. I do not smoke. On that same note, please do not hold yourself to be a spectacle. Please do not participate in making vaping a sport with cloud competitions and walking around in public blowing giant clouds. Our fate WILL be decided by those who will not be impressed by those activities but rather the opposite. Some do not understand we are in a fight right now to not be doomed to $10 cigalikes made with God knows what in them by big tobacco. Just remember it's not what we vapers think that really will decide policy, it's the public perception that will be the deciding factor. If you want to blow giant clouds and build .00000001 ohm coils and push the limits go for it just do it safely and equally importantly do it in an appropriate place. Our future is in our own hands, lets preserve it not harm it! Lastly thank you to those on here that have been by my side since day one. It's you that gave me the education that has yielded this result. It's a debt that can never be repaid, it saved my life very literally. From myself and the loved ones in my life, my gratitude will be there the rest of my days!

I had lots of time today and was tidying up some of my vape supplies and ran across an old friend. His name is Russian 91%. I dusted him off, washed him thoroughly and threw in a 26ga 8 warp .8ohm coil, added some raspberry and cream ejuice and I'm in vaping nirvana. Wow! This brings back so much memories. Of course over the past year my building has gotten much better as well as my wicking which leads to such a great and satisfying vape. No huge clouds here just full on flavor. When has been the last time you have dusted off your shelf, found a trusty old friend and had a satisfying vape reminiscing the days past? If you haven't you might be in for a pleasant surprise. Have a great Friday everyone. DG

Ordered a Sigelei Mini, and a couple of Samsung batteries for it.

I don't need another RDA, since I rarely use the ones I have... but if I were buying one tomorrow, the Doge 2 would be in my collection. The white one looks sweet, too.

Great job Tug! Super awesome!

Congratulations! It's a great achievement indeed. Maybe we who have significant milestones under our belts should get annual pins like those "kiss me I gave blood" pins or something. Cuz every birthday or anniversary without a head stone is a milestone. I think I stole that from a 'Golden Girls' episode.

49 year former Marlboro fan here. Next piece of advice: Have backups for the backups of the backups.

Way to go BC,I'm lovin that big tobacco and big pharma are hatin all these success stories

My vote goes to "all of the above."

Sorry i dont see a link to the bill. .30 per ml? I think the consumer will pay it. Adding $4.50 to a 15ml bottle seems high and will likely drive some to DIY and others to black market juice. All you home juice makers gst ready to get rich off your friends.

A couple of other factors to consider are airflow, the length of your draws and the wattage setting on your device. I have used liquids as high as 85% VG in my subtank mini without dry hits, but I keep my draws short...usually 1 to 3 seconds., I usually set my wattage between 26.5 and 27.5 watts, and I like my airflow wide open. Anything longer in terms of length of inhale or higher in terms of wattage and I do get dry hits on it. Basically, whether you end up with dry hits is going to be directly affected by your personal vaping preferences. From my personal experience, if you are trying to cloud chase with the .5 ohm occ coils, you likely will end up with dry hits, but if you want a satisfying vape with decent clouds and good flavor, then you will likely be happy.
