I have had so much fun jumping into DIY and because of this sub, its sidebar, the Noted podcast and other sites like ELR and ATF, I’m making things that I actually like. What’s more, I have a lot to look forward to sitting in my steep drawer. I was growing frustrated with the vape shop experience in my local area, taking home juice that I ended up hating and giving away. The day I went in and they had eliminated the ability to try a juice before you buy it (besides smelling it or tasting a drop on your hand), I knew that was the last time that I ever wanted to go there again. You have truly saved me time, frustration, and money and in the spirit of the season, I just wanted to say thanks.
I share many of the same sentminent my friend, this place rules! It's like, the most rewarding hobby I've ever encountered, and scratches my itch of feeling a loss of connection to people in general.
Stay beautiful! Dont be afraid to contribute.
I’m not one of the mighty champs but I’m ok to have around. At least until I have a drink.
Make sure to post reviews of the recipes you’ve tried! Or post your experiences in the weekly what are you vaping thread.
Well, you’re being modest. Your updated DIY price breakdown and most recently the community appeal are absolutely examples of just what kind of resource this place can be.
I agree with the feeling that this place can be awesome and there are people here who will help you massively. Beyond massively. My particular contribution may be more ethereal.
You’d be surprised how much you can add, even as a newbie. One can never have enough positivity in my opinion.
Thanks, really. There's a LOT of people that have put a ton of time & resources into making this a fantastic repository for all things DIY. It's nice when someone comes back to express appreciation.
My advice is: give back what you can. Make a great mix and share it. Do a review of a flavor. Help out a clueless newb like I was, and we all were at some point. I don't have the time I once did to devote here, but I still consider it one of the few places online where I feel a sense of community. This sub is chock-full of wonderful people who love to help others, and I've been blessed to be a part of it. Mix on!
Hear hear. I’m also new to the craft but jumped in with both feet, and a few of the tips I picked up lurking here and on ELR made the transition from premixed juice much easier and more cost-effective. If it weren’t for this subreddit I might still be buying whatever concentrates sounded good and wondering why none of the recipes ELR offered using my stash were very tasty; instead, I’ve got a wide variety of juice I love and I’m already looking forward to making more. Most of the recipes posted here recently involve flavors that I’ve got saved for a big Black Friday order, and I look forward to trying them all. At first I was afraid I’d have nothing to offer as a relative novice with a lot of gaps in my DIY knowledge, so just lurked. But my experience with the community here has been very welcoming since I started engaging, it’s nice to see the group making positive changes to ensure everyone feels welcome here.
