Greetings. Been here for a few months but haven't been around much. Been bingeing a few threads recently feeling like a lurker. Made me remember I hadn't introduced myself.
I'm Chandler, nice to meet yall!
Started vaping around 2014 I believe? I can't remember what originally put vaporizing on my radar, but mentioning it out loud amongst friends someone pipes up n says they got one. I'm like what? Do you use it? No. What's it called?? I dunno. Does it work??? I think so. Give it to me! No, it's mine. Lol
Next time we met up he made sure to bring it along. I said we're going to vape this gram n drink these beers until the gram is done. This experience will determine my vapelife future. After about 3,4 sessions I was nicely medicated. We hadn't even come close to finishing the gram. My mind was set. I had to get a vaporizer!
That trusty little device that would impact my smoking future for the rest of my life was an airizer solo.
I went premium portable after that, as I'm not one to skimp out on quality to save money. I'll wait and be patient until I can afford exactly what I want. First vape was a Crafty. Been running through various vapes since.
Stopped smoking within about a year and a half of starting vaping. I used to love hitting my Vapman then relaxing to colt cigar.. Got sick one day, throat was sore it was too painful to smoke or vape.. I'll never forget. After about the fifth day no smoke, I HAD TO BLAZE SOMETHING! I rolled a blunt. Took one giant draw and exhaled what tasted like shit. Didn't make sense. That was some bomb ass Dutch dragon that I had been enjoying. I had at least 5 different strains. After the same experience with another tasty strain, I rolled a joint of every other strain I had... Everything tasted like shit. I could no longer discern the taste of different strains. Everything just tasted like smoke. Hit my Vapman next and was taken to pure flavor bliss. Tried to smoke a colt after that and almost puked.
Immediately quit combusting everything.
Was a very uplifting moment as I was a hard core cigar smoker I loved how they felt. But just like that quitting was the easiest thing to do.
I've passed on from the likes of crafties, mighties, airizer, ghost, boundless, batteries, session vapes, and have fallen for the more dependable no batteries needed. Sbj, Vapman, dynavap.
Dynavap took the reins from Vapman. Just so much more versatile. I'll never give up my ebony wood vapman though. So beautiful it Feels like silk in the hand. However, I'm enamored with the vapcap. It's modularity, its design, effects, on demand and more than anything I love art. The work made available by the particular master artists is outstanding. I've never seen anything like it. it's great to be a part of that international community!
My most current acquisition is an Ed's woodscents. It should arrive shortly. You all know that can't wait feeling!!
Cheers. Need update my avatar!
