Hi, I’m Charlene. I started mixing around 2018 then lost interest. Now I’m back at it relearning stuff again. This website is a godsend!

Holy moly, I always forgot to introduce myself and so I’m catching up even if very late.
Just read my profile description: ā€œJust an old idiot (but very idiot) vaper! :innocent:ā€
There’s not much else to say! :wink: :joy:

Hey all, figured it was time I should pop in. If nothing else, just to say thanks.

Unlike many I did not end up down this rabbit hole as a means to quit smoking. I’ve never smoked but I am certainly a nicotine fan. I used nicotine gum for years as an appetite suppressant, a classic weight class sport trick. At some point I picked up vaping just to get some more flavor. I got tired of the wastefulness of disposables and discovered the world of rebuildables. And down the hole I went.
My curiosity eventually got me playing with DIY liquid earlier this year. I am definitely still a noob. I’ve spent many many hours reading, scouring, and searching here. Absorbing and wading through a decade plus of information, wisdom, and progress. ELR has given me an accelerated path to some really great juice and saved me from a lot of wasted time and fumbled liquid.
I’m sure there are plenty of lurkers that are just as grateful as I am.
A massive thank you to all of you for your consistent contributions, suggestions, conversations, and helpfulness.

Just off the top of my head, there are many others, and many others no longer active.

This is the current state of my ā€œvape shopā€, as my wife calls it. Lots of testers and steepers, and too much finished juice to get through before I have something else I want to try. Currently awaiting some MF bottles to fill in a couple gaps in the flavor rack.

I’m still very much learning, with all of it. I can’t say I have much of anything to contribute at this point, but I’m gleaning all I can and chasing that next tasty flavor combination.

Welcome to the forum! We are definitely glad you popped in. There’s decades and decades of knowledge here and if it wasn’t for this forum, I wouldn’t be where I’m at in my mixing today :smile:

Welcome to the OTHER side of ELR @2whiskymike. As much help, ideas, and suggestions you can get on the recipe side, you can get even more here. A personal thanks for scouring, wading, and absorbing. That’s never a bad idea. You’ve got some heavy hitters in your thank you list, and I was flattered to be included.

Roger that.

Gaps suck !!!

Thanks all for the warm welcomes!

As tough as it can be to find the nuggets when you don’t know what you don’t know, I do enjoy the forum format. I’m glad to see it’s still alive and kicking in this little corner of the interwebs.

My space is certainly becoming the limiter. Those gaps will soon be filled, but most of those bottles are only 10ml…

I have most of what I need to make what I like at this point. But I could still use a few VTAs and Nomz, and I certainly don’t need an 8th mango but look at that, it snuck into the cart with that custard and two creams that I do ā€œneedā€.

And the endless trickle of ā€œooo that sounds good, but I don’t have anything that would really sub for that flavorā€.

Yeah, I have some in boxes. I just forget what I have when it’s not in front of me. I like being able to tweak on the fly based on what’s in arms reach. I don’t know how some of you with so many flavors do it.

I hear the words of my old psychology prof - ā€œnothing is a problem, until it’s a problemā€. Sigh, my problem is space, one of my problems. At least y’all understand the plight.

Anyway, carry on. My cart is waiting for those new FLV flavors to drop…

Welcome to ELR @R3CUR51V3, and we’ve got more than a few members from Cali. As far as hardware rec’s, it’ll take a little info from you to help you out with that.

What are you vaping now, or what have you tried so far, and liked, or hated ? What type of vaping do you prefer MTL (Mouth To Lung), or DTL (Direct To Lung) ?
