Like a lot of people I’ve known about FC for a while and dipped in as a lurker from time to time.
I kind of feel like admitting to using THC in any form is problematic. Even discussing it anonymously on a forum feels like a huge risk...but I’m sick of the pretence now - I want to own this!
My early experiences were combustion-centric: spliffs, MacGyver bongs, buckets etc. Life in general, plus some dumb life choices, pushed me into being more of a drinker. The beer gut and arsehole syndrome associated with alcohol took it’s tole.
I knew something had to change, so I decided to revisit my favourite teenage vice.
There was no way I was going back to combustion though. Everything I tried felt bloody awful or aggregated the asthma I acquired from a bad work environment.
Despite the initial coughing, I felt like I’d rediscovered a lost treasure. And that’s where vaping and edibles came into play.
Through vaping I suddenly discovered a clean and efficient method of enjoying something that settled my mind and sparked my create juices.
I’ve been lucky enough to avoid VAS as my first vape was the Solo Mk I, which just killed it on every level.
It’s been a few years since I first settled into my new/rediscovered lifestyle and I’m now ready to reach out, share my experiences, look for help and encourage others who are new to vaping.
I haven’t really said much about myself personally and don’t really want to go on about old baggage or brag about personal achievements. However, I do want to contribute to this community and help out where I can. In that regard it’s probably worth mentioning that I've been a CG artist for the best part of 15 years, specialising in photoreal rendering, and I’m more than happy to help out any DIY vape makers if they require any visuals (purely as a passion project)
