1ML is average, to new vapers who's only experience so far is Green Smoke, South Beach, Pro Smoke, Blu, and on an on... really? Cause I'd like to fit 1ML in any of those cartos, let me tell you.
1ml may not be average for any of the models you mentioned, which happen to be about the worst 4 models in existence, but it is the industry standard for cartomizers. It's nothing to brag about and JCs touting of it only goes to demonstrate that their ad copy is just that. It's the typical fluff and gobbledegook that copywriters construct to impress people with no experience. It works splendidly in the audio equipment industry, why not the e-cig industry?
It's obvious that you're not aware that the Vea is not only Lithium-Ion based, and the micro-circuitry inside manages the battery power much better than ego clones, and that the cartomizer built for the Vea also extends the life of the battery? No, guess not, cause I'm sure you've not bothered to research the Vea since before right now because your interest level has been nil.
Really? Lithium-Ion based? Micro-circuitry? Wow!! How impressive sounding to someone who is unaware of the fact that every eGo clone in the world is lithium-ion based and contains micro-circuitry. See my remarks above.
You can create circuitry that is more efficient, no doubt. But no circuitry can be 100% efficient and other eGo clones, while not spectacularly efficient, aren't so bad that a good circuit can exceed their efficiency by nearly 1000%, as would be necessary for a multiple-day 650mah battery.
There is only one way for a cartomizer to extend the life of the battery and that's to demand lower current draw. The laws of physics dictate that a lower current draw results in a lower temperature. If JC has created a cartomizer/juice combination that vaporizes at 1/100th the power requirements of other e-cigs and still feels warm, more power to them. If they somehow created a magical cartomizer or "micro-circuitry" that defies the laws of physics and creates energy out of thin air, then I suggest someone notify the Nobel nominating committee.
When claims are made that defy physical laws; when the mudane is presented in a way calculated to impress the uninitiated, there is no need to for an knowledgeable, experienced person to verify it by firsthand experience. If it smells like snake oil, looks like snake oil and makes the claims of snake oil, there's no reason to buy it in order to find out if it works and tastes like snake oil.
But sure, go ahead and make judgement calls all day long on things you don't have a full grasp on. Much like the guy here that assumed I am "new" to vaping and clearly don't know what I'm talking about. Whatever.
You have made statements that indicate you are either new to vaping, or your knowledge and experience with it is limited. No shame in that. When you gain more knowledge and experience, you will more easily recognize hype and fluff when you see it and you'll be less impressed by marketing claims and devices that merely work well will not seem so spectacular.
I do hope people take my buying advice, but not just mine. They should seek out others that actually have experience with it, like I do. Ya know Cherry, I don't think I'd make a buying decision from someone telling to buy or not buy when they have zero experience with it. Like yourself. Then again, as the owner of one, as the user of one, and as a fan of one, I think I can speak to it.
Again, firsthand experience is not always the best way to evaluate something if you have no knowledge base or frame of reference. If Honda advertised the Prius as being the fastest car in the world, I don't think I'd need firsthand experience to know otherwise. Of course, if I knew absolutely nothing about cars and it was the first car I'd ever driven, then I might well believe the ad men. I might test drive one and agree it must be the fastest car in the world. But what would that firsthand experience really prove? Only that I had no knowledge or frame of reference.
Back peddle all you want, but your snarky comments stand as they are. An apology from you might carry more weight though.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. If you have some information about how JC's magical circuitry manages to squeeze at least 300% more run time than anyone else, I would be willing to put it to the test.
I'm a fairly heavy vaper, so I wouldn't expect 2 or three days from any 650 mah battery. But if you'd like to send me a Vea, I'll test it. If I get more than 8 hours out of it at my normal vaping pace, I'll apologize publicly and profusely and recommend it to all newbies. I'll send as much traffic as I can to your site and I'll buy the Vea you send me and buy you a new one as well. I'll even buy a 3rd unit for you to do with as you wish. Are you up for it? That's only approx. 1/6th the run time of what you claim a light vaper could expect.
