Not you. Just heading off any drama. I remember some from Back in the day. People calling Provari users snobs, Provari users claiming their vaped would survive the end of the world, that sort of thing. I fall into neither camp really. I like well made things and am prone to shinyitis, but I...
I would normally be upset with myself as well. I rarely buy new. I get my bag fix buying second hand at Poshmark. I also trade bags there. This, however, was justified due to a combination of things. My tax return came in, my birthday is the 17th and Mother’s Day is tomorrow. See? Justified damn it!
Mass production done cheap can still be done passably well. I have a pretty low standard for set ups like these. 1) don’t blow up. 2) work at least 2/3rds of the time when I hit the fire button. It doesn’t need to work perfectly either. I can’t get temp control working right on the Wismec, but...
Here is what ultimately got me off cigarettes the second time around. Cheaper then Smok, and a whole lot tougher. This thing HAS been abused. Knocked off many tables. I stopped using it because of the crap tank it came with, but the mod itself is just fine.
Also in my defense, I prefer my cheap Kanger over Provari. Provari didn’t give me the power and versitility I wanted. I bought em cuz of shinyitis back when they were popular. I didn’t use them long.
Forums like this and reddit can be intimidating to those who aren’t web savvy. They would rely on their local vendors for recommendations. How many went back to smoking because their Smok set up failed after a couple weeks? How many bought Smok because that was the lions share of mods their...
Not every vaper is web savvy. My ex is one of them. He relied on me when we were together. He went and bought a second Smok mod because he had to go to a local vendor without me there to order him something. I predict in a couple weeks he will either be smoking again, or he will be texting me...
Exactly. We tell vapers to support their local shops, we tell newbies to use a brick and mortar to buy their first set. If this is all shops are carrying in some areas, this isn’t a good first experience for new vapers unless they’re really devoted to quitting smoking.
This is my main problem right now. They’ve taken over. I’m lucky being so near a major city. I have plenty of vendors by me, but I imagine in some areas Smok is all there is in shops. A couple vendors by me are like that. Only Smok really. The one closest to me is almost only carrying Smok, but...
I know I bought a mod from them because they were cheap. Since I’m in NYC, even though it only lasted three weeks, I suppose it at least paid for itself in saved cigarette money. I’ll give Smok that, but that’s only because cigarettes here cost an arm and a leg.
I’m using a Wismec RX Gen 3 right now. Works okay. Some misfiring and the temp control is flaky. It’ll likely wind up as my back up because I have a Lost Vape Paranormal on the way. I didn’t want to spend the big bucks right away until I kicked the cigarettes again, which is why I went for Smok...
