cartos were a bit decided to mod a

August was the most intense learning curve to date. There are so many aspects to ecigs that it can be overwhelming at start, week or so
later it all comes together, just don’t be intimidated by the volume of info.

absolute mess!
Gearing up can be a bit pricey but if you buy well all your accessories will last for years. In reality aside from o-rings (that are a dime a
dozen) good drip tips and drip shields will take a LOT of abuse before they need replacing.

What is wonderful about finding your setup is the consistency. You can have that lovely vapor you like so much on different devices and
juices all the time.

More DIY
All stocked up
on flavorings
and much
better recipes,
I’m really
enjoying this
If my dad, a non technical man and an avid pipe smoker for 45 years could take to vaping as fast as he did then anyone can. All it takes is
a little advice. The vaping community is fantastic for that.

With so many eliquid vendors it’s almost impossible to try them all but once you find some good ones the flavor possibilities are endless.

Cartopipe it’s wonderful!
It can save you money, but you have to let it. Buying like a madman gets costly, sometime in February I decided I’d stop playing around
and only get good stuff I will actually use.

PIFFing it
This community has been
so nice to me I wanted to
give a bit back, send a
bunch of juice and cartos
(etc) to a new vaper
Meeting some fellow vapers up-close is a unique experience, everyone should do if at least once.

A Feeder
Looked around
and got a
feeder to use
on fishing trips.
It was
necessary!
My mod needs go with certain occassions, trying to drip while fishing almost cost me a mod.. I decided a feeder would be a better idea

Hoarding
Realized I had
way too much
vape stuff saved.
Gave most of it
away (kept what
I liked :P )
Man do I hate ill-informed politicians trying to push an obvious agenta by using false information.

For me, the need for more gear is minimal. I will get what I need when I need it, maybe try some new stuff that looks interesting.. But in
all honesty the most important part of the hobby side of vaping for me is DIY’ing eliquid. I just love doing it

14. July 2012: what a ride it’s been
Who knows what the future holds?
I know this:
1. It’s been a fun ride so far
2. I can climb a flight of stairs without getting out
of breath
3. Stuff tastes better!
4. People smell bad
5. I haven’t really saved or spent any more than I
01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 July 14th would have otherwise but:
6. I HAVE NOT SMOKED IN A YEAR
(I had a very special photo of a very special new
thing planned for this spot. Due to some postal
delay stuff it wont be here for another few days
*sadface*)
Is regulation or taxation the next step? Unfortunately it seems it might be, there is simply too much opposition from very big industries.
