... and a belated introduction.
So, hello from a champion lurker.
I registered here a good long while ago, at a time when I had just grown sick of my wheezy, stinky existence as a smoker. I spent many evenings browsing this here fine forum, and found inspiration in the many success stories and subsequent tales of clear enjoyment spread across these pages. Somewhere in August I made the principle decision to give vaping a shot, and so I set off to the nearest b&m.
After a chat with the guys there, and really not wanting to overspend on something I wasn't convinced was going to work, I picked up a little Innokin T20 kit. Can't even remember what juice I got with it, but it was great. The draw was close enough to a cigarette that I adjusted quickly, the nicotine hit was strong enough, and the taste compared to cigs was - obviously - so much more pleasant. Smoke-free nirvana. Until it stopped working a week later.
So, back I went to cash in the warranty. A week was enough though to figure out that the pen style kit wasn't going to keep me satisfied for long, so I paid in a bit for an Innokin Coolfire Mini and accompanying Slipstream tank. Much better! Up to the point that I dropped and cracked the tank 3 days later. That had me looking for an RTA that wouldn't look completely silly on the little mod, so I ended up with a Wotofo Serpent Alto. The annoyance of learning to wick that little bastard aside, along with my own clumsiness, it's been a life changing couple of months since. I'm now still rocking the little Alto on a Smoant Battlestar Mini and I'm quite happy.
A grand total of four cigs since August, each after a day's work when the little Coolfire's battery had given up. Now, I can't bear the taste of cigs at all, so I think I'm done.
So, thank you folks. Without any one word aimed directly at me, you collectively might just have saved another one. I confess that I find myself on the edge of a rabbit hole, with the sight of all manner of shiny tanks and mods, and the thoughts of DIY juice beckoning me to jump in. My wallet lives in fear...
