    Maybe if you were paying more attention when you were typing...But no...it's the typos fault...it caused you to put foil in between stacked batteries!!

    What's a shower bag?

    Don't get so bent...you just showed up here and don't realize we gat quite a few visitors that don't understand battery safety, and we don't want you on the news, giving the media more ammo to regulate the crap out of our lifestyle.....

    Aquatroy reacted to bcartervol98 in One Year Today!   
    Today marks one year I have been tobacco smoke free! Now for my story:

    I am 44 years old and had smoked for over 28 years when I decided to make the switch. Unlike many others I had never tried to quit before, nor had I ever tried an e-cig before. It happened all of a sudden. I went from smoking a pack and a half to 2 packs a day to never picking up another one over one weekend.

    Everyone that knows me know I am a University of Tennessee alumni and bleed Tennessee Orange. I was very active with the Football team when I was a student there and maintain a very close relationship today. It was Orange and White Game weekend last year and we were making plans for the weekend. We went to a party with several former players, current NFL players, and a few coaches. One of the people in town was Arian Foster, he always stays with us when he comes back in town. From the time he got into town he complained about the smoke smell lol, told my wife she was too beautiful to be killing herself, told us how lucky we were to have such an awesome son and it was a shame we wouldn't get to see him grow up. Then we went to the party and as we smokers do, my wife and I were trying to figure out who the other smokers were so we could not be "the only ones". Not a lot of smokers in a group of former-current athletes but a friend that owns a local sports talk radio station was there and he is (was) a smoker. When we got there, hit up the kegs, and asked him if he wanted to go smoke he replied "I quit, I used the electric to get over my cravings and now I have been without both for almost a month!". WHAT HE QUIT, WE ARE THE ONLY ONES?

    Well the ribbing continued all weekend, we stood on the field in Neyland Stadium for hours and the last few were spent jonesing for a smoke. I even snuck one in the press bathroom as many before me had based on the butts on the floor. I had an epiphany, why was I doing this to myself? It made no sense.

    I decided to take the route my friend had and went and bought 4 NJoy Kings and stated as of Monday morning I would never smoke another cigarette. I tool the usual route of a new vaper. My wife and I both started out there but soon realized this was going to get expensive. Next we went to the Cigar Store in the mall and bought two $150 starter kits that were garbage, worse than Blu. What happened next changed my life forever: I found Vapor Talk Forums!

    Based on advice I got here, I then ordered a EgoT 1000mah starter kid from VapeDudes (The battery in my front pocket right now actually) and it truly changed my life. Since then I have grown my collection. I have one APV, a Vamo V2. I actually prefer the Ego Style VV batteries to the Mods and APVs. My Vamo hardly even gets used. I have about a dozen Spinners in varying MAH ratings, Evod VVs (just came in today on my anniversary :-)), standard Ego style batteries in various styles and have found a liquid I have rarely strayed from in the last 6 months or so, Endless Summer from Fuzion. I go through 125ml of it before I do 15ml of anything else.

    I know, long post, but I want to finish by saying thanks. Thanks to those that helped. Thanks to those that put up with my incessant questions. Thanks to those that told me when I was doing something wrong or stupid.

    In closing, thanks for being a driving force in saving my and my wifes life. Without this forum I have no doubt we would still be stopping by the store to spend $50 on a carton about every other day instead of ordering liquid once every 6 weeks or so and replacement coils about once a month. We would still spend more time in the basement bathroom than we do with our son upstairs. We would still stink, our cars would still stink, and I would still be on Blood Pressure meds, Sinus meds, Allergy meds, and Anxiety meds; all of which I have been taken off of since putting down the stinkies. Sure beats the chemo we were headed for!

    In part, I owe my life to you guys. Thanks for helping a fella no one even knows, but I feel like we are all sort of one big family. I like our family!

    GO VOLS!

    Aquatroy got a reaction from Mtdobies in Innokin Itaste 134 warranty problems   
    Pan

    Did you verify that the unit is indeed Innokin? There are a lot of fakes, should be a scratch off with the serial number on it, you can verify original on innokins website...with that you can go to any Innokin registered retailer with your documentation. As long as you paid MSRP they will replace it..

    I have also done direct replacements with innokin on a few occasions, and with them overseas, takes longer but they have always stood behind thier products. Buy from an authorized retailer next time to avoid knockoffs and bad service..

    I'm still enamored with my HH.357s (just got six more in the mail this week), but it's gotten really expensive since they don't last as long with the sweet, dark juices I vape. That led me to RDAs to try to cut the expense. I'm still learning and trying to find just the right combo to replace the 357s, though. It's a fun journey and a great learning experience!

    Don't spam the forum with your pics of items that you want to sell. Keep it in the classifieds. Don't spam to get the required posts either, not cool and not the reason why the limit was established. Two of your earlier posts were removed for spamming and your post count was reduced.

    Welcome to the forum. Spend some time to learn about our great group of members. Feel free to chime in when you have information that might help someone out.

    If you own a protank, try a aero base replacement....really improves the airflow...I have retrofitted all of my protanks, and for now, and davide minis for long term testing works for me...
