Don't forget about us who do not want big devices or mods - please continue to improve and provide cig-size devices.
Some of us STILL want to simulate using the real thing. I've been vaping for over a year. Started out with a Smokestik and quickly moved on to other things since that just wasn't cutting it.
That started my journey through a few mods...all of them pretty decent and they fulfilled the need of longevity of battery and better vapor/taste. Yet, I couldn't give up smoking as well (you just can't beat the conveniece).
As I became discouraged with having to keep contacts super clean and some other little annoying aspects of mods, the eGo came along. WOW...a proprietary device that worked well.
The eGo led me to me to buy more "tornegos" (especially the extended ones) and the Hello battery...all greatly enhanced with the LR306 atty...almost (I repeat ALMOST) felt I'd found my perfect setup. I don't care that they're proprietary batteries and will eventually die (though I've been extremely lucky in having some over six months)...they are more reliable. (By the way, I've personally never felt the need for any mod that has variable settings and other bells and whistles...mainly because I don't like the look and feel of something larger.)
Then I just got tired of pushing the button and thought I'd try an automatic again...purchased some auto KR808s which I used with cartomizers for when I was out and about (at home, I was dripping). Of course, the charge doesn't last long, especially for a heavy vaper like me. But they fulfilled that need for "close to the real thing."
Then along comes the ceramic E2 cartomizers!!!! I was late to the game on these given the problems with them (and can't wait to see the improvements with Rev4) but I absolutely love these things...I use the XL ones (both kr808 and 510 ones). These made me want more automatic batteries (mega 510s). I was surprised how hard it was to find them...not many suppliers are carrying them anymore.
Having trouble finding auto 510s made me start to worry that a decent automatic would disappear. I hope this never becomes the case because I think there is still a market for them. I live near a lot of retirees who are making the transition and they prefer automatics...some due to arthritis that makes it difficult to push a button, some due to, being like me, simply want a replacement that is as "close to the real thing as possible."
There may be others who would also return to an automatic if they continued to improve...without becoming too large and without being too difficult to deal with. (Although I love the E2s, most old folks would have trouble refilling them...I practicallly need a magnifying glass to do it.)
So, please do not give up on this segment of the market! Please continue carrying/working on an automatic that has better battery life (or make them so affordable that people on fixed incomes can buy several)...continue working on the cartomizers so that they last longer but are easier to refill.
Thanks for listening (I hope
)!!!
