Good morning Vaping Underground

Hi Vaping Underground.

Not really a forum person, so feels odd posting an intro thing, but thought I'd try it out. Vaping backstory for me is that I smoked when young, quit for many years, and then when I went back into education grabbed a bar job to help myself get by. No surprises this led to a brief relapse into smoking, so thought I'd give vaping a try and found it infinitely better than any of the other nicotine replacement products I'd used in the past (patches were useless, lozenges helped me quit smoking but still led to the occasional one when out for drinks). Couple of years on and I actually thoroughly enjoy vaping.

Been thinking of dipping my toe into the mech world, and after 6 months or so of mooch blogposts (I lurked here for that time), vaping biker videos, etc., etc., I'm starting to feel confident that I won't do anything stupid with a mech! Also want to start making my own clapton builds (as in putting the wires together, not just wrapping prebuilt wire round a rod which I've done since I started) and maybe trying out DIY juice recipes, so have delved into the forum world. Also, mech wise, I'll be looking for second hand tubes, so thought the forums were preferable to and more trustworthy than ebay!!

Anyway, if you populate other forums, you'll probably see this exact same post pop up a few times in the coming week, but I swear, I'm not a bot!

All the best, Nathan

Welcome to the Vu. The hardware thread is full of things to fancy. I'm sure everyone of us here has a tube or 5 they could sell.

Thanks for the heads up. I did (rudely) contact someone here about availability on a shorty setup before posting my introduction, but decided to hold off before getting feedback from forum users rather than just relying on youtube reviews on the options I was looking at. Only hitch is that I'm UK based, and most folks here seem to be in North America. But for the right setup I'm willing to pay for international shipping and put up with the wait.

Welcome! Props for doing your research first regarding safety and mechanicals. Mechs are great to get into the hobby aspect of vaping, and I personally think they give a vape regulated mods cannot, hard to explain it but to me it’s different, better. The beautiful simplicity of a single circuit metal tube system driven by raw battery power, heating a coil you built to give you that perfect vape.

As far as coils and DIY juice, very rewarding once you get it down. Claptons (fused) are fairly easy once you get set up, just need a drill, swivels and a vise or clamp. For the juice starting out I’d recommend finding a recipe here or elsewhere instead of experimenting at first, learn a few good flavors and their strengths and go from there. Hope you stick around, if you hit a snag or have questions feel free to ask!

Thanks once again, guys, and apologies for the lateness of the thanks. Last week ended up being super busy, so didn't make the time to swing by.
