I am waiting until the price for the screwdriver type PV's goes down, I mean $100+!? I'll stick with my $50- Pv's...
You have to look at the total cost of ownership over the predicted life of the device and/or how long you expect to be vaping. Replacement atomizers and e-liquid are a given necessity for all personal vaporizers. BUT, what about the replacement cost of batteries, short battery life of typical batteries, the frustration of constantly swapping batteries throughout the day, batteries that fire off in a noisy environment, failed battery switches, and having battery chargers everywhere you need them?
One high up-front purchase gets you a pretty durable device for which rechargeable batteries can be purchased for $4-$6 versus the $12-$18 for a typical screw-in battery. So, evaluating batteries alone, you pay up to 3 times more to be constantly frustrated.

I think every e-cig device is cheaper than smoking the real thing. Even in a low tax state like NH, premium cigs are closing in on $60 a carton. So if you're a pack a day....
What's important to me is that it looks like a cigarette. I keep my minis in an empty cig. flip top box & rest it in an ashtray. The rituals seem to help.
I nearly bought a couple of 510s thinking I can learn to deal with the whistle mouth piece & it didn't seem too much larger/heavier. However, I can't live with a 2 hr battery.
I decided to give up the 4081. I purchased 2 DSE 901 starter kits & 2 additional atomizers from RuyanDirect for $70 + $20 expedited shipping. I think this will last me for 4 mos. I've been going through a 4081 at a rate of 1 a month. I'm wondering about the guarantee. 1 yr? Whoa, I think I'll try & hold their feet to fire on that.
That cost sure beats the analogs. I DIY my liquid at less than $20 for 8 oz.
I'm thinking by the time I'm ready to purchase again, there will be a new improved options for me to consider.
