ParkwayNightmare Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Hey everyone! Brand new member here.. I decided to try and make the switch from cigarettes to vaping about a month and a half ago, and I must say.. I am not looking back! I was very much a skeptic that vaping would help get me off smoking cigarettes. I have been smoking ciarettes for about 13, 14 years (close to a pack a day). A close friend of mine (who was a heavier smoker than I was) told me since he got his vape pen he went from buying a pack a day to a pack a week. Now he wouldn't BS me, he is a very straight forward person. So when he told me that, it was music to my ears! So I figured I would look into it for myself.. So I went to a local vape shop, and talked with this one employee who was very knowledgable on the subject. He got me set up with a starter kit that consisted of an eGo C Twist, Kangertech T3D, charger, carrying case and extra coil. I purchased 3 bottles of their own juice (fell absolutely in Love with one of their flavors) and left a happy camper. After a couple weeks of using that setup, I had an unfortunate accident happen. I had my mod in my pocket, all put together, and my girlfriend jumped on my lap. I felt something crack against my leg, and quickly pulled it out to find my battery broke, the tank cracked and I had eliquid all over my leg.. I was extremely sad by this! However, two days later I get a text from her asking if I bought a replacement yet. I told her no (I was using a spare battery I inherited from someone and a bridgeless dripping atomizer in the meantime) she then proceeded to tell me she had gotten me a present.. I tried to find out what, but she was relentless in telling me. So the next time I went to visit my little lady, she gave me a 2014 model Vision Spinner (1300 mah) with an Aspire Nautilus Mini (she remembered me ranting and raving on how badly I wanted the Nauti Mini).. Which is still my current setup.. I very much want to try the MVP 2.0, Innokin iTaste 134 model, Vamo V5 or V6.. As for tanks, I am still in love with my Nauti Mini.. As for alittle about myself: I am from Pennsylvania, don't live too far outside of Pittsburgh. Have been an avid gamer all my life, started on Atari all the way up to xb360 (have not made the switch yet to next gen). Love art, been drawing and painting as far back as I can remember. Music is a huge passion of mine, love all sorts of genre's although I must say that heavy metal is probably my favorite style. I am a vocalist in a metal band, we are quickly approaching being show ready. I have probably played well over 100 live performances with my last band, so I am very excited to get back on stage again... HaHa! Okay I am done talking about myself.. But yeah, looking forward to trying to provide any input I can to help anyone out with vaping and if I am ever in a bind hopefully someone here can provide sound input for me. Take care everyone!

mkauthen Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Welcome! Sounds like you and my hubby would have alot in common. lol You both have been a little accident prone to start your vaping journey (he dropped his and shattered his Nautilus). He too is an avid lifelong gamer (took it so far that after getting out of the Army, he landed in video game testing, been in the industry for 10 years now, lol), and you happen to live near his favorite team in the world, the Pittsburgh Steelers. Me? I'm new to vaping as well. Been vaping a couple months now, finally threw away the cigarettes a little over two weeks ago. Its a great feeling!

fishguy1123 Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 (edited) Welcome to VT! I'll give ya a pass on the avatar for now.... lol Your broken device, while not the typical drop, or battery drain is a great example for back ups as you have. Doesn't have to be fancy, just what you can use to stay off analogs! Props to you for sticking with it even though it wasn't as easy as filling a tank and on your way....

ParkwayNightmare Posted October 22, 2014 Author Share Posted October 22, 2014 Michelle, that's awesome that he got into being a tester. I wish I could do that for a living! Talk about being happy to go to work for a change, haha!! Plus since he is a Steelers fan, he is a good man in my book. As far as being accident prone, haha! That is the story of my life. Although I didn't break my setup, my gf did, but that's just how my "luck" goes.. and yes, it is a Great feeling! Congrats to you and keep up the good work! Fishguy, what's wrong with my avatar? It's Mr. Rogers putting on the Freddy sweater while wearing the glove. I thought it was hilarious and on a pretty sweet side note, Fred Rogers is from my hometown as well. So it's like Im supporting a hometown legend, with a twist of horror humor. Thanks for the props, yeah I think my gf rushed out to get me that Vision Spinner and Nauti Mini because she was afraid I was gonna go back to smoking cigarettes, which I tried to assure her I wouldn't. I believe thanks to vaping, I will NEVER spend another dollar on those killers.. MSmom601 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ParkwayNightmare Posted October 22, 2014 Author Share Posted October 22, 2014 Thank You all for the warm welcomes!! Always a pleasure to find a friendly community.. Michelle, that sucks to hear that. Although I think I would still do it, I can't help myself. My dorky side would shine and not let me refuse that job, although I would have to find a second one just to help pay the bills. HaHa!! I still think that is awesome that he is a tester, I would jump at the chance to be one in a heartbeat. mkauthen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
