Introduce Yourselves:

Hey everyone, Im BurningButt and I'm an addict but today marks 3 weeks that I have not touched a stinkie

Been a weird journey, starting smoking cigs fairly late in life after never really had any interest in smoking in my younger years. Went up quickly to about 2 packs a day (peaking above some days) for the past 10 years or so and I have been desperate to kick the habit. Health and fitness declined, constant cig stench; lack of taste ( and wife is a damn good cook so I was missing out big time). About a year or two ago I tried a Smok/babybeast setup but the whole cloud chasing/ DL style didn't suit my lifestyle but I enjoyed it for a few months together with a reduction in smoking cigs. However leaky tanks, buying coils and dead batteries and a change in career direction saw me quickly relapsing and was back to 2+ packs a day and the straw that broke my back was when my 6year old said that I smelled like an ashtray when I tucked him in one night and pushed me away with a revolting look on his face.

Now 3 weeks ago I was sharing this story with my cousin who happens to be a distributor of cigarettes ( of all people) but also is distributing these closed pod systems called Airspops by Airscream. He gave me device and a few flavors and rest is history (albeit recent). The MTL experience with Nic salts, the massive flavor hits and simplicity of the system was a perfect fit for me and honestly I haven't even had an urge to light up...don't even know where my trusty zippo is actually.

I know need to share my conundrum after requesting (and receiving) the MSDS from Airscream and now possibly looking at a new device and Nic salt juice options that are as clean as can be and as safe as can be..... but I assume I need to post this in the appropriate section so will continue there. Data is this segment is hard to come by and options can be overwhelming but I'm sure that this is the best place possible to improve my knowledge and make informed choices on this sort of new twist in my path to giving up cigs.

Sorry for the drawn out post!

Hello everyone, I am Jeff from Cape Town, I've been vaping for about 6 years now, worked for Vape Lab in Kuilsriver Cape Town for a year.
 
It appears to me that I should have started here. In the USA we drive on what you would likely call the wrong side of the road so my navigational skills are a little wonky here ATM. And you folks in SA have the steering wheel on the wrong side too.
j/k, maybe ;) :D

Ready for a rerun? Hello folks, ShowMeTwice here... most just call me SMT.

Intro again... thought I did that in the thread I started.

I've been vaping since 2012. Got into DIY juices pretty quickly because I found retail juices to be too much flavoring and much too sweet for my liking. Got into RBA's in 2013 with the Svoemesto Kayfun lite and RDA's. Mech's and regulated devices.

My vape collection has grown greatly since the early days. With the USA government's "weird" (being very kind) desire to impose regulations upon all things vaping I've stocked up for life with gear and nicotine (DIY). To date no regulations have been imposed and I'm still able to buy cool gear. Yay. But regulations are coming. Boooo. However, there is the fighter in me that says to hell with regulations, I will still find ways to acquire new gear. Ha!

Anyhow, I love learning new stuff and contributing if I am able. Lurked here for quite some time. I am a regular at the ECF. Also on VU, PoV and ELR but have different ID's on those.

So that's me. I look forward to getting to know you folks and seeing what y'all are into.

Thanks again!!!

ETA: Forgot to add... I vape MTL/RDL/DL. Mainly MTL/RDL.

OH OH, look out, the Dogs of war have been let loose. "trust no one "
Was that during A Momentary Lapse Of Reason?

Haha, couldn't pass on the Pink Floyd "Dogs Of War" reference. Not knowing you, I'm not sure if you intended that.

X Files fan? "Trust No One"
