Introduce Yourselves:

Howzit everyone.

I'm from sunny old Durbs. Been lurking here for a bit but unfortunately did not find the time until today to introduce myself. Been smoking since the age of 13 and been vaping on and off for the past decade or so. The past few months have been very interesting (and costly) delving into the new world of vaping with its powerful devices, tanks, DIY, etc. Unfortunately still on the stinkies (those damn after meals cravings get me everytime) albeit approximately 3 a day down from 35 a day. I'm feeling nostalgic today and also not in the mood for work so pics it is if you will be so kind to indulge me...

In terms of DIY I have spent a small fortune already however I have quickly learned from my mistakes and mixing up a storm whilst at the same time stealing kitchen space and time from the wife. Lol. She is also trying hard to get off the stinkies but is also struggling unfortunately.

I hope I find the time to spend more time on this forum and from what I can see it is really a great community going on here. Kudos to the founders, admins, members, etc.

Happy Vaping!
Most welcome to the forum. Great intro, thank you. Awesome reduction from 35 to 3! Do not be too hard on yourself, you shall kick those last 3 stinkies eventually. Happy vaping and DIYing.
 
Welcome @TechnoSnakeMan sure is a history of mods in your pictures :) Good too see another Durbanite on here really is a great place to rest your hat and keep up to date in the vaping world. :campeon:
 
Thanks for the warm welcome people ;). Very eager to learn more from experienced individuals like yourselves. The hobby has thus far become a source of escapism from my hectic and stressful to say the least personal circumstances. I also hope to meet some of you in person in the near future.

Welcome to the forum @TechnoSnakeMan
Wonderful intro - you have been through a lot of vape gear!
Sorry to hear about the 3 stinkies still making an appearance in your day - but am sure in time those will be gone
Enjoy your stay here. It certainly is a great community of vapers!
 
Hi all :)

Software/App developer from JHB.

Very new to vaping but I've taken the plunge with both feet and a lot of gusto. Smoked for the past 20 odd years and decided in July last year to give vaping a shot seeing as a few mates had taken up the addiction .. I mean hobby :D

Started with a dirt-cheap PoS AIO that I bought from a mate for like R100. It was, looking back now, horrific... but it did help me stop smoking within 2 days of starting to vape and I haven't touched a smoke since.

Moved onto a better AIO and am now on a Pico with a Subtank Mini. Decided that spending a boat-load of cash on coils and juice wasn't for me so the past month have started making coils, juice and extracts.

Still lots to learn so I'm looking forward to being a part of this forum!

Welcome to the forum @darryn.britton , thanks for the intro
Congrats on quitting the stinkies - great achievement!
Certainly lots to learn about vaping. The best part about this forum is that it has many experienced helpful vapers
Enjoy your stay
 
Hey Guys

New to the forum and vaping.
I have only been vaping for 4 months and started with the ego AIO. I played around with it reading hacks and mods to make it better.
Dont get me wrong, im that kind of guy but i wanted something better. I recently purchased a Movkin Disguiser 150w with Griffin 25 tank.
When i got the unit i was so excited but did not know a thing about coil builds and settings.
I visited the guys at Vape King South and Steven and Wayne helped me a lot with the theory behind coil building.
I can now say with pride i have already built 5 different coils experimenting all the time with LOTS to learn.

I hope this intro was not to boring..

Welcome to the forum @Gadgetboy
Congrats on the vaping and the coil building!
Wishing you all the best from here on
Feel free to ask questions as you go along and enjoy your stay here.
 
Welcome @Gadgetboy,
You have joined the right place to soak up knowledge.
Lekker setup up you have now.
The Griffin 25 is one of my favorite tanks.
Enjoy the journey bud!

Good morning all from a windy Cape Town.

I've been on the stinkies for over 20 years now and have had a run in with every twisp product out there in the hope they would get better ( but never do).

A month ago I pulled the pin on a Vgod 150 and have never looked back nor picked up the zippo.
This has caused a different problem though , my addictive personality has taken over and in this time I have added a AV mech mod as well 12 tanks with loads on the wishlist. * wife rolls eyes*

I seem to find something very therapeutic about building coils.

From the look of some of your collections I see I would be in good company here.
 
Welcome @RayDeny,
Yes, this is most definitely the most addicted group of shopaholics out there.
Make sure you stay away from the vape mail tread!!
Enjoy your stay, and ask many questions.
Be sure to brag with your coils

Welcome to the forum @RayDeny
Congrats on the vaping
Despite the wife rolling her eyes (most of us know that too well) and the enthusiasm to try loads of different setups, vaping is still a major win!
Enjoy your stay

Most welcome vape veteran @Floki. Yip, would have also referred you to the thread @Silver provided. From the info in there I got the Hadaly. Single coil with huge build space and easiest build ever - awesome flavour. Happy vaping.
 
Welcome to the community @RayDeny . Hahaha, yes the bug does bite and one quickly becomes very addicted to knowing exactly which products are available and what they can/claim to do. I think you'll quickly pick up in the discussions: the Vape vs hrh (her royal Highness, which is wife in Vape land) issue is a biggie among plenty of members. Looking forward to your questions and contributions
 
Hey guys!...* My names Gemini.....I.T techie and graphics designer....been off stinkies for about a month now....so yeah new to the vaping world but loving every second....running a twisp aero but cant wait till i can jump to a decent mod.....
