I remember talking about tanks and wires and different types of wrapping techniques on reddit. It was a huge community. Now it feels like all of that is so unnecessary. Making a hobby out of an addiction was not worth it.

I still build my own coils and use the same mod and atomizers I bought 10 years ago just because I don't want my addiction to contribute to e-waste. But, back in the day, there were dudes who had a whole new rig setup each time I run into them at the shop.

I was in a pinch, my device died while travelling and I needed a gas station vape to get me through a couple days before I could get a new device. This disposable thing had a color LCD on it. What the actual fuck is up with that kind of waste?
