Probably a good thing you won't be back as I'm pretty sure that since Steve pays for this sub-forum, he's not entitely thrilled that you promote another vendor's product here.

Im not saying this to bash you, im saying this so that hopefuly it will cause you to show a bit more class.

Bad form IMO.

For all the reasons you think PS doesn't "keep up", I chose to use the Prodigy over other mods out there. I will keep my prodigy forever. I know that in 80 years, it'll still work as good as the day I bought it.

A lot of people prefer a fully mechanical mod because of the durability of them. You don't have to worry about shorting out a circuit board.

Remember the good ol' days when a clothes washer would last 20 years? Nowadays all appliances are disposables, and expected to last 5 years before you have to replace it with a newer model. Granted, you have fun terms like "induction technology" or "whirlwind tunnel", but I'd rather have something that I can depend on. Call me old fashioned, if you want, but I prefer the mod that I can fix if something ever goes wrong with it, vs the mod that I'd have to send to get repaired (assuming the company you bought it from still existed to do the repairs).

Are you trying to say the Prodigy is the best built mod out there?

I will take that as not to be a loaded question, and give you my interpretation of his post;

He basically is saying that he likes a mod that is mechanical, and that if it works there is no need to "keep up" with "innovating ideas". A mod that can be user maintained, and with out bells and whistles that would cause the need to ship it out for repair is choice for an ideal device. I am assuming the PS fit his needs and is satisfied with what he has.

PS has their plans for what they want marketed, and I am sure it's catering to their customer base, so only Steve knows if he will progress down a different route, but either way it seems like enough people like his products for him to be going at the pace that they are going.

we have a couple things in the works ... our Prodigy & ICON based platforms have been extremely popular, so we have been in no real rush to produce anything else.

We've gone the route of stocking different types of atomizers & cartomizers. Manipulating the voltage & wattage without manipulating the device. I think each can get your where you need to be ...

Call me old school, i just prefer user friendly devices that the user can take care of themselves. :)

Hey, I wanna Lexus! How come Ford doesn't make a Lexus?

Love my V3's. Durable, simple, functional. That's it.
I have a VV mod, so I am not being a Luddite about this. I just KNOW my V3 will always work. Even when I dropped it in the pool, I just had to dry it off, change the carto and I was good to go.

Oh trust me I'll take a Ford... But think about this, every year theres new models right? Base platform stays the same but they KEEP thinking "how can this be better".

Why do you care what Steve does with his products so much? Why dont you just buy what you want and stop complaining that every other company sucks cuz they dont do what "you" want them to and the GG is god? I personally prefer the Precise 18650 over any mod out there. You dont see me telling everyone how they are crap cuz the 18650 is the boobs... This is classic fanboy trolling.

And the prodigy and icon are still v1, right? It's not like they've ever been redesigned and labled with v2 or v3... your logic is flawed and your senseless fanboyism is showing.

You guys have no concept of what creates great products... Imagine a world where companys stopped creating, thinking, and evolving... We would all still have tube type tv's and bricks for cell phones, its the very idea of companys wanting to be better than the rest that keeps america great. Im not saying anyone is the best at this market i'm simply telling Steve he has the resources to compete with the others and dominate the market; so he should do just that. For you guys to sit here and say PS is perfect or any compqny is perfect for that matter is rediculous.

Dude, you aren't listening. The products ARE BEING IMPROVED, which is why there are newer, redesigned versions of the mods. Puresmoker DOES COMPETE very well with the market. RE-READ all the previous posts, and you'll see that NOBODY has said that "PS is perfect" or that "any compgny is perfect for that matter".

You are obviously trolling, and if this subforum was a democracy, I'd vote for you to be kicked off the island.

Before we move any further, you are talking to a wealth manager. CFP. I think I know business and money. You dont update a product when sales continue to rise and or stay steady. Investing in a new product right now for PS would be stupid.

It's not am iphone. It is a metal device which performs 1 operation. Creating an electrical current to provide the user with vapor. If the devise continues to sell well, update is an unnecessary investment. But of course you know this better than I do...

And btw... tube style TV's will always outlive the life span of the amazing looking crap these days. Again... just because it's new, doesnt mean s***. My favorite phone I have ever had to this day is the Nokia 3360. I have an iPhone4.

Considering I've owned both the GGTB and GGTS, I found myself going back to all of my Prodigy's. I sold both GG's and won't buy them again. It's not that I didn't like them, they are over hyped about. The Prodigy is plain, simple to use, can be used with any gadget available, has a warranty that Steve stands behind, and all around a pefect mod for me. The GG's achieve their purpose but are a bulkier device and that's not what I want.

Go back to the GG forum please....noone is interested in your opinions here.

Moderators...the OP is trolling over the GG. Would you please consider closing this thread? It's ignorant of him to come into someone else's forum to promote a different device and antagonize the owner.
