I've been vaping for over a month now. In this time I've surprised myself in many ways. I have had my high and low points but I'm mainly happy that I completely stopped smoking.
I've had 2 PV's in this month, and I bought a PT. I've also tried a few juice flavors and have tried out cartos and I have a LR atty in my kit.
My overall experience with vaping has been extremely positive, and I would recommend vaping to anyone who wants to quit smoking. I can see the solution really works. However I do not think the technology is perfected.
Let me explain:
1. Juice prices for non US residents needs to come down in price. I live in Eastern Europe, around here analogs don't cost that much if you know where to find them. Juice bought locally is expensive, and when ordering from China, UK or US shipping costs are high. There is also a risk that your goods get stuck in customs. Juice alone can be quite a substantial monthly cost. Cutting or DIY is an option if you have the time.
2. Every atty seems to be different to the next. I have a total of 5 Atties, and each one vapes completely differently to the next. Would be nice to see some standardization of atties.
3. Cartos aren't all they're made out to be. They are convenient, but they get clogged quick and don't give as much TH as dripping.
4. Cartridges tend to suck. Well its true, and blue foam / lipton tea mods prove this. Guys realized standard cartridges are not up to the task and found ways to improve them.
5. Some PT's still have a battery between the power and the button. What is the point of having a PT? I like the idea of having power on tap without the use of a battery. Batteries are expensive and have a limited lifespan. When you add a battery to the PT, it defeats the point.
6. Juice bottles, because of the way they're shaped tend to make getting the last 1ml out of the bottle very hard. I hate seeing that bit go to waste, but it seems the only sure way to get the juice out is to destroy the bottle.
7. No mainstream and AFFORDABLE 5v PV exists. Please leave comments if this point is incorrect, but I've yet to find a 5V PV that is affordable and universal. What I really want to see on the market is a 5v Ego or the likes.
8. There is no perfect way to vape, but the best way to vape is dripping. I've realised this, its the only sure way to get a good TH. And its the most affordable way. What I would like to see is the wetbox concept being introduced into cartridges. Until then nothing comes close to dripping.
9. Its impossible to tell what a juice tastes like until you've ordered it. I would like to see recipes given unique identifier codes, and stored on a global e-cig site. This way manufactures can publish their codes, and distributors can include a unique recipe code on the product. This way you can be sure you get the same tasting juice each time and it doesn't matter who you order it from. At this stage I am not suggesting the recipe be open source, but it would be nice to have a list of all the ingredients published. This site would be the vaping equivalent of the W3C.
I cant wait to see what the future delivers us. I think these first generation PV's will get you off smoking, but I think the vaping scene has huge room for improvements.
Happy vaping and leave comments please!
