I've been vaping for a while now.......... I was frustrated at first because everything vape related breaks, either a day into it, or a week into it, or they arrive DOA.
I was pretty sure I found bliss with my Reo. I now own 7 of them. However, I still like to try new vape things, & don't always like carrying around a box that resembles a box of cigarettes. Don't get me wrong, the REO is the best mod on the market, the easiest to use, simple, & you can vape all day with one battery & bottle of juice. However I've even had to send 1 Reo back for fixing. Now i've got another Reo with a pin hole in the top of the tubing that fits in the bottle, which makes for small leaks.
I've had cisco attys arrive DOA
I've had pyrex drip tips arrive completely broken & get shards of glass in my fingers.
I've purchased brand new mods only to have them last 3 hours, then stop working.
I've purchased brand new mods that die a week later & it takes longer to get ahold of customer service than the time period that my mod actually worked for.
Just about EVERY tank i've ever purchased leaks............
I've had storm tanks that I put my lips on them, & the entire top falls off. Then customer service was a PITA, said I could mail it back for a refund, but would never send me a return address......
Liquinators that vape fine for 2 days, then mysteriously start leaking.
I've got 6 Torpedo Tanks that rock, but one started leaking, so I had to send it back for repair.
I've placed orders with vendors that are in the same state as me, & they take over 2 weeks to arrive.
Today takes the cake & i'm about to toss in the hat..............
I got 12oz of juice from my 2nd favorite juice vendor. I've spent over a grand with this vendor & truly love their juices. I've NEVER had a problem. In fact when I opened 2 of the 4oz bottles to steep it was difficult to get the dripper top off to steep them. However when I went to mix the other 4oz of juice with nic....................the dripper top falls off and i'm left literally sitting in nearly 4oz of juice, no to mention, my carpet, bed & victoria's secret pajamas now smell strongly of blueberry cheesecake. I called the company, they know i'm a repeat customer, so they quickly & kindly told me that they would remix that bottle & get it out to me right away.
I know..........I tell the newbies all of the time "there is a learning curve", "the vape scene changes daily, even hourly, with all of the modders out there that are constantly trying to improve products, so be patient"
My patience is wearing a bit thin now.........I'm about to stop vaping completely & sell everything but a lone Reo Mini, Buzz & some AVE Hype.
Maybe vaping was a crutch. Crutches ARE meant to be used temporarily while healing from an injury. Maybe my injury from cigarettes has healed & i'm ready to move on from vaping..........
Meanwhile I've got a plane ticket to Vegas Vapefest & a room booked at the Flamingo. So, I've still gotta attend that event, or lose my money.
I found PIF a few months into vaping.......It's an awesome group, but I caught someone selling stuff that I PIF'd them in the classifieds. They removed one of the things I gave them, but left the other one up. So, I had to call this girl out once again on her thread........... Then yesterday THE SAME MEMBER took one of my PIF offers again. I was reluctant to send it, but according to the rules I HAVE to. It got mailed today.
Then I got burned another time........sent a member my last pyrex cobalt drip tip in exchange for 2, 18650 batteries. This member stiffed me. He got my drip tip, but never sent the batteries.
Yes, so my patience is wearing thin. It's not all it's cracked up to be. I'll continue to vape until after vapefest. Who knows..............I may just hang in Vegas for 4 days & never even enter the vapefest conference room.
So, if you see a bunch of stuff of mine for sale on the classys (lots of mods, TONS of DIY stuff, high quality juices, TONS of stuff used for modding).........you know why. It's because I am tired of the frustration of vaping, & would rather do nothing. not smoke, not vape.......just fly away nic free.
I promise.

I keep it as simple as possible myself, I have pretty much gone to the GGs out of pure ease of use more than anthing else. For the most part mine and the REOs are mechanical mods not prone to serious problems, have feeders, and can go all day on a taste that is pretty danged good. Sometimes its juts good to be happy with what you have, right?
