Hi folks. I've been vaping since 2008. Early on my experiences were a mix of mild success and dismal failure. It took me a few years off and on vaping and being a dual user to finally kick the smokes for good and go strictly to vaping. I'm proud to say I've not had a cigarette in over 2 years now.
I do have a good bit of knowledge with most things pertaining to vaping and have been mixing my own juice for...well, I don't really remember now
Put it this way - I've not had to buy any liquids for several years. I'm eager to learn and share what I know.

Welcome @Foxdroft! Tell us some more about your vaping preferences and gear etc.? You DIY?
This is a very open community where we share and assist each other freely, your contributions would therefore be most welcome. And hopefully we can assist in turn when the need arises!
Welcome and best regards!
Thank you @Raindance
The setup Im using at the moment it an Athena with a goon lp (so far one of the few drippers that gave me the best flavour personally).
I have bought a couple of trial and errror vw and mechs but enjoy the simplicity of the mechs. I mix my own juices as well.

Great stuff! Hope to see some of those builds and recipes in the respective threads soon!
I've only just been converted to drippers and planning to go mech soon so interested in hearing your views and experiences.

You probably have heard it all before. Just study ohms law and build in safe limitations of your batteries and you should be fine.
I have had two vw devices fail on me in the past. Mechs normally wont fail if you keep them clean. Any device nowadays is mostly great so choice is mostly on what looks you want especially with mechs. VW devices (at the chance of being crucified) for me is mostly the same as well sure one fires a little faster than the other and other one makes more flashy lights than a disco club but that is all on your own preferences as well. According to me I build what I want my vape to do and the device is just for aesthetics and long or short term battery life. Focus most of your time on searching for a decent rda, rdta, or rta which ever floats your boat since great thing about vaping is everyone has there own preference and what works for themselves and no one else. If deciding to go for mech I would recommend staying away from clones and maybe going for a dual battery parallel device just for the added safety or better yet try a Noisy v2. Great thing is it has safety in so basically no chance of blowing up in your face so you can play around with no stress (not to be confused with v1 that is a series mech and would not recommend for first time mech).
Out of interest sake which RDA have you tried
Thank you @DamienK and @Tanja

I've been studying up here on RDA's and mechs, specifically squonk mechs, and just today received an OL16. Awesome little thing! Unbelievable flavor! I have a couple of "old time" RDA's (Messy and boring) but recently got a Entheon and Pulse for my RSQ squonk mod. They are good but nowhere close to the OL16. Not by a mile!
In any case, I share your thinking on regulated devices and although I have a number of great DNA devices, I want to go less reliant on electronics so I am in the process of getting a Reo Grand. Build like a tank, just way more reliable! Lol.
Thanks and Regards
Please let me know how the reo turns out. Been looking at it for a while. Whell budget sqounkers that personally is also great is pulse bf and athena.
Have experienced no issues with either
I know what you mean about needing higher nic @IVapesDaNicotine
All it takes is the right device and a juice that you like a lot then its plain sailing
All the best to you
vaped on and off since 2008 started with twisp cig-alikes failed, used a ego CE-6/8 failed used a x20 prov failed years went by between vapes got a pico dual its cool subohm is better i guess used it for about 3 months now, going over to drippers as soon as the shipment comes from china, then its DIY juice. "premium juice" is too expensive at the rate i vape so ill try to make them myself
i deleted the longer post because it was very long lol. But yeah the nicotine issue is a *****, stress still makes me smoke from time to time
