Hey Phil,
Me and my fiancee Steph had an awesome time over the weekend at Vape Bash. I went in expecting to check out some stuff and just bum around but WOW! Not what happened. EVERYONE was friendly and was so easy to talk to.
A little background on my journey, I was a smoker for about 7 years and going on 1 to 1 1/2 PAD by last June. I had a few co-workers using cigalikes and cutting back just a little bit. I figure what the hell, i’ll give it a try. I didn’t really didn’t want to quit, but figured i should try for my 1 yr old daughter. Once i started investigating i found this community of people on ECF helping each other out. I soon found myself a new hobby. I was rebuilding my protanks, dabbling in drippers, and dreaming of a provari and a russian. Finally santa brought me both for christmas :). I have been using them everyday since enjoying my hobby.
Last weekend changed that. Seeing 4000 people of all races, genders, orientations, age, and whatever else differentiates us from each other, in the same place for one reason. We are vapers. Thats all we are to each other, vapers. I met Big on the first night at the bar and stuck up a conversation with him about his rebuild stand (which retails about 75 i think, I dont think you mentioned in the video) and it just started there. Sat down out side the event on saturday for a bit to cool off when Amber and Gypsy sat down with us. Soon to be joined by a few others and Ruby Roo and Josh. Me and Steph had the time of our lives in the “living room” that day, wish you could have joined us!
I went to Vape Bash with a hobby and some cash to spend on it. I came out with a passion and a few bottles of juice. I cannot wait for the next meet i can attend and i hope to see you there along with the other people i met over the weekend.
Thank you so much for videos and helping me along the way. I sent along the picture we took with you.
Thanks again,
Brian
