Hi ECSA!
New to the forum but been a vaper for a year now (exactly one year and one week).
Here's a bit of a bio on my journey:
I moved some years ago to Australia, when I was down in SA in 2010 my brother showed me his ego battery/carto tank set up. It knocked me solidly, he was vaping Liqua menthol in 18mg, and told me "the only way to vape is a straigh lung hit!!" (far from true!) so I decided e-cigs weren't for me.
Fast forward to May 2013, I finally decided it was time to kick the stinkies to the curb. I called my bro and he told me to look into Joytech Ego. So, off I went, in all my naiveté, found an online retailer and bought my first e-cig. A Joytech Ego-t tank system!
Now in Australia, nicotine is a classed as a schedule 7 poison, and therefore illegal to sell in the country.
Enter MT Baker Vapor (THUG JUICE FTW!!) and another 3-4 weeks till I had some proper eliquid.
In that time I decided to go out and do some research (yes I bough my first kit before doing proper research) and found the aussievapers.com forum. There i learnt about cartomisers, carto tanks, clearomisers etc. Now my real journey had begun. In the first 6 months I quickly moved from the ego-t tank system to ego batteries and carto tanks, to EVODs and a protank. then I bought an SVD, followed by an igo-L, some RSSTs then a fasttech clone Magneto and a couple of Kayfun 3.1s.
I moved back to SA in Jan this year, went to go visit my brother, and there he is still puffing away on his ego pass-through/Vivi Nova tank. I hand him my mod/igo-L to try and, well, since then I get a call from him on almost a daily basis cursing me for the amount of money he's spending on his new found hobby.
We're both currently rocking neme/kayfun set-ups, and I've just come back today from Vape King with a new black Chana Mod. In these last 6 months my bro has also cut down from 18mg to 6mg, he's widend his flavour palate to include a wide variety of flavours
This is no longer about nicotine replacement for us, it's a full blown hobby/obsession.
Thanks for reading the wall of text, hopefully we get to meet in person at the next Vape Meet!
