Introducing... US.

[Pauly Walnuts]

Lemme introduce the Old Goat and me. Old Goat is not old. Maybe mid to late 50’s? Early 60’s tops. Probably mid 40's. I go by Pauly Walnuts. My favorite on “The Sopranos”. Such a dumb ass. Not at all like me. Really. I promise.

I, on the other hand, am a spring chicken. Demented from the age of 13, with an additional 68 years of experience and getting worse. Or better. I can get away with a LOT, blaming it all on age. Even the wife falls for it.

Old Goat is in South Africa. He’s an ardent supporter of vaping as a way to quit smoking! Loves all things about it. He’ll teach us how to make our own e-juice. Do you know what’s in that juice you buy over the counter? I don’t and google has some ideas, but none are concrete. A lot are not good. *I* know what’s in mine, and it’s ALL good!

Old Goat’ll teach you about Ohms laws and watts. No, not Sherlock, and his sidekick Watson. This is electrician stuff. He’ll make it SIMPLE to understand!

He tests products. Flavors, hardware, coils…etc. He doesn’t get paid by a manufacturer, so his reviews are spot on. Brutally honest. No holds barred.

He’ll teach you how to make your own coils! Pennies on the dollar. And fun! Well, intriguing and fascinating, anyway. Single, dual, and triple coils. And what’s the advantage/disadvantage? Mans about as far from a genius as is our Chihuahua/Jack Terrier mut, but he knows a LOT about this industry!

Shit, his writing eloquence is worth following this board alone! Seriously! His prose will keep you in stitches.

Me? I’m a guy in the Central Valley of California U.S.A. You know, nowhere near any coasts. Average 100+ temps in the summer. The only thing I had to do with this board was set it up. Ask me a question about vaping and I’ll make up some lie that you might even find feasible.
Can’t recommend following any of my advice. It could blow up in your face!

Right, so Pauly gave it a go trying to explain who I am and what I do. He wasn’t far off — for a guy who claims to have been demented since 13 and only getting worse. Let me return the favour and give you my version.

I go by Old Goat — not because I’m ancient (yet), but because I’m stubborn, bearded, and have a talent for climbing into complicated hobbies and never coming back down. I’m in South Africa, deep in the DIY vape game. Flavour mixing, coil building, gear testing — if it can be fiddled with, tweaked, or perfected, I’m probably already doing it while muttering something about the “good old days of rebuildables.”

Pauly? Now there’s a character. The man’s a joker through and through. He’s like the old guy on the porch with a whiskey in one hand and a half-lit cigar in the other, spinning tales of days gone by — usually with a dirty joke or two tucked in for good measure. And when he gets hold of a keyboard? Strap in, kids. You’re in for the ride of your life. He’ll start a sentence about DIY e-liquid and end it somewhere between a war story, a candy bar craving, and a public safety warning.

He goes by Pauly Walnuts — says it’s from The Sopranos, but honestly, I think it’s more of a diagnosis than a nickname. He built this place, keeps it running, and somehow still finds time to drop the kind of posts that’ll make you laugh, think, and occasionally wonder if you’re about to void your warranty.

Together? He’s the mad scientist with the server cables, and I’m the cantankerous flavour wizard with a coil jig and a nicotine stain or two. We built this forum to help people skip the BS and dive deep into the fun parts of vaping: making your own juice, wrapping your own coils, learning the tricks, and laughing along the way.

I don’t shill, I don’t sugarcoat, and I sure as hell don’t fake praise. My reviews are honest. Sometimes too honest. If something sucks, I’ll say so. If it’s brilliant, I’ll begrudgingly admit it — then figure out how to make it better.

So yeah, stick around. Ask dumb questions. Share your fails. Celebrate your wins. And if Pauly gives you DIY advice that sounds like it might void a warranty or cause a fire… you might want to check with the Goat first.

Welcome to the Workshop.

This post is in the wrong place. It should be the first post you see.

??? I'm just an admin! Who knows how to do that stuff.

I suppose if you want it moved I could ask google. Last time I made a backup I ruined everything.
