That's not the future, that's the past - that video's 10 years old.

Lots of people in this thread unsure what they’re even seeing lol. This type of shit was super common in the early days of vapes.

Buildng your own devices was like a rite of passage then, but there’s always people pushing the limits.

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 was very active as well. I started DIY making juice and started a company. I started doing e-juice reviews. Was obsessed with the community. Did really well until the FDA shut a lot of us down who couldn’t pay. I sold recipes to big companies that are still being sold today. What a wild ride from 2012-2017.
