Hello there - I promise to be good

[moto]

I feel a fraud claiming to be a newcomer as I have been grazing this site for over a year. I had always assumed I'd created an account but apparently not. So here I am, a committed vaper currently chugging on a heron sat on a chana dna30 at 18W. I have around a dozen RTAs, half a dozen neglected RDAs, half a dozen mech mods and a few regulated mods. I have made DIY juices for around a year but am currently trying to vape up around 50 bottles of the commercial stuff that has built up - most of which could have come from buttjuices'r'uz. 
I have just managed to get the mrs off Ego batteries onto isticks and now starting to get her weaned off Evods. Whatever everyone says - when it comes to wives, size matters!
When it comes to smokers I am as rabid as none smokers. I smoked a pipe for over 40 years. When I was diagnosed with bowel cancer 6 years ago I started determined efforts to give up smoking which all failed. 2 Winters ago, laying in bed with another chest infection I could feel the wind whistling around me as the mrs went outside for a smoke so I went on the internet and bought kit. 2 weeks after buying a Vamo and iclear 30 my mrs pointed out to me 'do you realise you don't smoke anymore'.
I'm currently recovering from an operation on my tongue. Half the top surface of my tongue has been replaced by muscle from my leg following a diagnosis of cancer. The scary thing is the symptoms were so slight. A slight soreness for 10 seconds or so on waking up and extra sensitivity to fresh chillies. The surgeon said he performs this operation on 2 smokers a week. He reckons I could owe my life to my dentist's hygienist who spotted it - it wasn't visible in a mirror - the tongue had to be depressed whilst pulling on it to expose the back of the tongue.

So anyways, I've taken early retirement and am now eating well, drinking well and vaping well. Taste is reduced which in the case of vaping is a god send. I always found commercial juice flavours overpowering but shame I'm having difficult telling different craft beers apart.
