Only 8 months vaping and have a Smok x-priv, Smok species, VV pulse x, VV pulse 90, Dovpo topside and topside dual and LV Paranormal 250C. The Topside died when the tank leaked and the Topside Dual has a connection issue...will die randomly and falsely shows discharged battery.
Just like I used to do, one mod per month seemed like a fair compromise. Six years vaping and you end with a fair amount of vape gear...
...I slightly changed tune as of late, because the accumulation seemed pointless, as I am not an hoarder.
Avoiding to buy too much of the run-of-the-mill variety, and consolidating three - four months of device purchases into a single decent device, like the Dani or Paranormal.
Think - the pod craze has skewed my method; and even there I limit myself to the best quality pod devices which are true MTL; they aren't many in the end.
There are too many overachieving underdogs, mostly because of the self-imposed $25-$30 glass ceiling.
In the last few months I have been lazy. I bought 50 Nautilus coils and 20 X1 Mesh coils, and put aside all my trinkets - Prime, Kylin mini, Serpent and the Berserkers 1.5; paying for something that was supposed to be free. Even if, the cost of Six Licks, Twelve Monkeys and other top juices make the cost of the coils appear, as absolutely negligible. I believe it to be some form of spring-induced laziness (happiness?).
Since year 2019 began, I bought the Aegis mini, Evic Primo Fit, the Cube and the Proton, avoiding the mistake of last year when I got all the low priced devices as they hit the shelves; what a waste.
Only good thing was the devices come handy in converting few smokers. Smokers love free vape gear, they end using it everyday.
