no worries about the recipies Gfdeupty. thanks for gettign back to me.
yeah it does seem as if most vape fests focus on juice. i think its because that's the cheapest aspect of vaping. easy to give out samples, and draw you in with the sweet smelling clouds. juice sales are probably where companies make the most of their money, due to the low overhead and high re-sale cost ratio. theyre making money hand over fist with juice. with hardware, they probably would be lucky to make a fraction of what they make on juice.
i did see a small amount of hardware tables last weekend at VNE. mods, batteries, atomizers, custom wires, etc. i even spoke with some reps who make custom RDA caps. and they were very cool/innovative. but yeah the hardware tables were few and far between. i did see some cool hardware but even with the fest pricing, they were still too high. i buy most of my gear from Fasttech and we all know its nearly impossible to beat their prices.
what i did find cool was the ability to check out an atomizer for example before buying it cheaper online lol. the sigelei moonshot was one i was interested in from photos online. i played around with one at the fest, checking the size, weight, threading tolerances, and just overall construction quality. i decided it wasnt for me and that helps because otherwise i might have bought it online without ever holding it only to find out its not my bag.
