They are expensive when comparing retail, but if you get in on a group buy, there is no contest. I have 3 Kayfuns now and 2 Russian 91% coming soon. My reasoning for buying the Russian (besides the savings and sheer curiosity) is if I want to do a custom finish on it, I don't have to worry about destroying the svoemesto logo.

There is no logo on the lite.. It annoys me to no end....

The Svoemesto logo is on the bottom of the K-lite. Either way, custom finishing a collectable can decrease its value where doing the same to a clone can increase it. Go figure.

The hobby aspect is definitely present. But I ask myself...how many different ways do I really need to vaporize my juice? :)

My problem is I haven't tried all the different way yet ;)

I'll be sticking to the clones and cheap stuff though. I drive 40 miles each way to and from work, need the money for gas.

Neo...this is what my current arsenal consists of...

Vivi Nova's: A good quality clearomizer with a medium flavor hit.
Phoenix RBA's: My favorite vape. Strong flavor and feel.
Genny AGA: Close to the same quality of the Phoenix RBA with added capacity.
Bottom Coils (various): A nice vape...a little cooler than a standard clearo.

I mean, if I find anything that is much different than these four options, it aint gonna be very noticeable. Things have been tasting rather harsh the last couple of weeks. Don't know why...just has. So I have been on stock Vivi Nova's lately because it isn't as strong as the RBA's. I'm sure I'll get over it and go back to the RBA's before long.

And as sure as I am writing this, there will be someone who comes up behind me and strongly disagrees. They'll have another handful of twists and modifications they swear makes a huge difference. In the end, the only opinion that matters is your own. But I will say, it is very easy (and fun) to get carried away with vape contraptions.

Tried a whole bunch of clearos myself.

Vivi Nova Mini: was ok, decent performance, but flavor turned funky pretty quickly for me
Evod: Never again. Every time I tried these things it was a disappointment. Zero flavor, and leakage.
CE8: Really like these for an extremely inexpensive vape. Flavor is great, maintenance is easy and real cheap. Uses SS Mesh inside the clearo instead of wicks.
Vapeonly/iSmoka BCC: great vape. It's everything I expected the evod to be.
Cartotank from Smoktech: have the slim one to fit the ego battery. It's my go to for my NETs. Just works.

And that's about it. The RSST will be the last type of tank purchase I make this year, just want to learn how to coil that thing and give it a shot. Hear its fantastic and pretty user friendly.

Pick yourself up a Phoenix RBA next. They're cheap. And an awesome vape expeience.

Yeah I'd absolutely love a brass nemesis or brass origin..

I'll settle on the brass m16 clone I just received. Already bailed on the brass chi clone SLIM. GOt my moving quote today and all extra expenses are officially cancelled.
I still have one ss chi clone and possibly 2 with a trade coming this week.
Vapewise I'm officially stocked up on my favorites, batteries, mechs, and stuff for the woman.. Technically don't need another purchase till New Years other then cotton.
Doesn't mean my addiction is satisfied though :)
