I'm very sorry that Vaporesso is blindly following the silly trend of combining a good box mod with a pod module.
I look at the market with regret and see how many beautiful box mod designs are fatally tainted by the ugly built-in pod!
Even from the point of view of making a profit: would sales of box mods with 510 connectors be less than sales of a pod-mod? I doubt it very much.
Maybe a new trend should start: simultaneously release on the market two modifications of the classic box-mod with a 510 conector and its copy with the pod module?
Sorry ..a painful point for me.
I agree. All a pod mod is is a mod with tank that has a proprietary connection. It makes the user beholden to the manufacturer for tanks. Alaso, like most coil heads, pods don't stay on the market too long for the most part so you are always having to get a new system and the "mod" part is rendered useless.
In that respect:
profitable. It's the same as cigalike brand using proprietary connections, you gotta buy all your stuff from them.
Quite frankly, I'm surprised they didn't kill the 510 connection years ago.
That's why I cringe when I see USA vapers stocking up on too many or even solely on pod systems. A couple years down the road, if you need a new pod, your market is very slim since you need to find someone with that same exact pod.
I'm glad I'm stocked up on 510 mods & tanks. I don't need this new market anymore.
