Yeah I keep thinking...there's no WAY these regs will survive.
The next presidential government will realize (too late) that the vaping industry has the potential to make far more money than the tobacco industry every did!
Proof? I just spent over $200 on these Kayfun 5's...and I've only seen pictures of it! But I know the company is good, because I have a total of 10 of their devices (v3.1, KFL, KFL+v2, KF4) from previous generations, and I'm brand loyal.
Same goes for Provape. And now HoH.
When I smoked, yeah I was brand loyal.
Started with (can I say this?) Marlboro 27's, and got up to 3 PAD. I worked outside, and was my own boss...so the boss didn't care if I smoked on the job!
Eventually I switched to (again, apologies if exact analog mentions are not allowed) American Spirits in the blue/turquoise box...got down to about a PAD.
Even then...all I bought was cigarettes and a lighter here and there.
Smoking didn't have an endless universe of accessories and "new things" that kept popping up every few weeks/months.
People always say they save money on vaping, and yeah, my daily/weekly use might be free...but my CC bill begs me to stop every month! Hahahaha! I get shiny-itis!
Since the regs have been announced, I've spent about $500 (including KF5's), and I've calculated another $1500 to round out my list of "must haves"...and that's just devices and equipment (cuz they say batteries, wick and wire won't be reg'd, but we already know they're liars, so why risk it?)...I haven't thought about how I'm going to vape into the future as far as juice goes!
And that's another thing...thanks to vaping, I've been Nic free for a little over 2 years now! But I'm still vaping! (I've got the worst combo: addictive personality, and tinker-itis. I love geeking out over this gear.)
If the vaping industry was one organized company, they'd have put my picture on a wall in their headquarters! I've spent so much money, and continue to use the product(s) even though I'm Nic free.
Big Tobacco could never hope to get my money, even if they offered the same things as the dozens of small companies I buy from.
SORRY FOR THE RANT!
I'm just twiddling my thumbs, waiting for my InTaste shipping notice. Good to know its a holiday there!
Congrats to anyone who got a KF5 already, and good luck to those who are waiting on the ROW (rest of the world) launch!
