Hi all… First off I hate intros (makes me feel so newbeish (even if I am) lol). I’m an older person and could most likely be ya’lls grandfather 
I smoked for 20 some years and quit around 1996 or 97 using the patch, but always like to smoke when I did. About 4 or 5 years ago I guess, I seen an ecig somewhere and picked one up (like I said, I liked to smoke, just hated the smell on my clothing or rooms after my sense of smell returned). I went through a few of the first commercial box mods for newbies, then used the ego for a couple years and it’s variations, then a zmax, which finally started to bite the dust a few months ago. I’m currently using an iStick 50 and subtank mini or a Nautilus. I had bought a subtank (Kanger) thinking it was what I wanted a couple months back, with the low ohm coils everything tasted too hot (I don’t sub-ohm) so gave it to my step daughter who also vapes. Then after really thinking about it while I was on a trip for work last month went and got the subtank mini, got some wick and wire from a local shop and attempted to make a basic coil (28g 11-12 wrap at 2.0 diameter) which hit right at about 1.8 ohm… first attempt and worked great for what I liked, built a couple more coils over the last couple weeks. So, I’m getting into basic builds and the ohms that appeal to me.
I attempted to play with recipes a few years ago, but as many newbies go, gave up from either lack of knowledge or frustration.
I’m not a cloud chaser, and while I dripped a little when I was first starting, I quickly went to carts (which never last too long and would die in a week) and like tanks, times have changed a lot over the years, and thanks to sites like this I’m going back to attempts for some cheaper juice, it’s not that I don’t mind paying for something, but I dislike paying for something I could possibly do better or with a markup that seems to be outrageous. I like my ohms around 1.8-2.0 and if I took my wife’s and brothers advice a few years ago, I’d have a B&M right now, when there wasn’t a shop on almost every corner (in my town, we currently have a good 20 or so shops). I’m actually still debating the idea of leaving my current job or starting part time in one of the shops if possible to learn more about the newer gear and get up to speed on the business end. My current employer has had me traveling a lot over this last year and it has had both myself and wife looking for a different career path for me.
Anyway, if you can’t tell I can get long winded, but that’s me in a nut shell.

Welcome! If you’re really interested in opening a shop, I’m sure @ringling could give you a few tips and some good advice. He’s our resident shopkeeper. Make yourself at home and let us know if you need anything. Some of us have been doing this longer than others, but I think everyone has something great to offer and you won’t find a nicer bunch of people.

Welcome! For someone who doesn’t like introductions you made a good job of it
As for the long-windedness, I’ve seen complaints that people do not elaborate enough describing their recipes so no problem there. I’m not really into sub-ohm either and prefer flavour over clouds. This is a very nice place to learn a lot about various things and there is a lot of difference between people but never any bashing going on.

You really can have both. A lot of people think it’s one or the other… but I’ve been enjoying the best of both worlds for a while now. It’s all in the wire and the build.

So in the first post that I made here back in May I mention I have been smoking 2 to 3 packs a day for almost 35 years. Since then I have slowly been cutting back on the analogs and today I am proud to say that this weekend I have had ZERO smokes!
I just want to thank you all for the great posts and help and DIY recipes that have helped me to quit.
Thank You!

My name is John. I was a 2 packer a day for 36 years. My wife and I are smoke free since May 15th of this year. I am still astonished. In 6 weeks time we have leaped from knowing nothing about ecigs to sub ohming and mixing our own juice. So much of what we have learned has come from this very place. The people here are incredible. Thank all of you so very very much for reaching out your hands and touching our hearts. We plan on hanging around for a very long time and to one day pass our knowledge forward.

Haven’t checked this post recently and I see a lot of new folks. Welcome to you all. I’m sure you’ll feel comfortable here and learn quite a bit from everyone.
BTW, any of you have good vudgeting skills? We are in dire need of a good teacher.
