I too have a soap box that I pull out on very rare occasions, so I understand the feeling.There's a complaint I've heard in this thread, and others, and I wanted to take a moment to address it..
/rant mode (you have been warned)
I frequently hear or read about how the vaping industry has left MTL vapers behind and now only focuses only on cloud chasers. I've responded, more than once, that there's no market anymore. It's not that there are no MTL vapers. There are plenty of MTL vapers, but they aren't buying.
Be honest. How many of you bought the Cthulhu MTL atty? When I suggested it, I heard "I don't build." or "I don't like the (easily replaceable) drip tip." or...
How about the Siren 22/25? Same excuses...
Hurricane? Yup, same...
Nautilus V2? "But it takes the same coils, so why bother?" or "I don't like the way it looks." or "I don't like the way it fills."
Kabuki? See above, or "It costs too much."
The point is, companies have made a lot of MTL atomizers, and have been rebuffed by MTL vapers who eschew most new designs in favor of the tried and true. Kayfun Light Plus and kin, Nautilus and family, and Protanks (ok, and eGo ONEs with 1 ohm CLR coils) rule most of the market, and MTL vapers don't see any reason or need to change... to move away from what they have and know works.
Meanwhile, all any company has to do to appeal to the other side is say "Clouds!" and the products fly off the shelf by chasers looking for the next big plume.
There's nothing wrong with being happy with what you've got. There's nothing wrong with wanting something new. The problem is complaining about a perceived lack of product, and pooh-poohing everything that gets released as being inferior to what you've already got.

Note that this does not apply to many of you, and isn't about anyone in particular. In fact, the post was prompted by an encounter between my son in Brooklyn and a shop owner there. Son wants to get mother-in-law off the stinkies, and asks me for advice. I ask what MIL has been smoking, how long, and how much. After getting an answer, I think on it and recommend an Innokin Endura, Kanger Emow, or Aspire K3. All simple MTL vapes that have been around long enough that availability should not be an issue, and decent MTL performance. When he asks the clerk, he is laughed at. They quit carrying the kits because they didn't sell anymore, but the coils still sell to people that own the tanks.
Sigh...
