I hear ya. Did that with the origenny an
Thx. I just ordered one. Should have it at some point this year.

I dont tend to buy clone stuff, but I am not dropping $150-200 on a tank sight unseen. That's nutty.

If I love it, I will buy authentic. If I dont, it was a $18 mistake, not a $150 one.

Ok, but see, the original is so much better, from what I read on here. I have to believe it, given who makes it and the level of excellent customer service from HOH. If you don't like the clone, it doesn't mean you won't like the real one and you could be screwing yourself royally out of what a lot of people consider the best tank (I concur) made yet.

Best tank ever made is subjective. Listening to the masses has been my downfall since I began vaping. What's phenomenal for others is just meh for me. I'm still not wow'd by the Kabuki.

As far as clones go, I don't try to discourage anyone from buying them- it's their money not mine. It's toooooo easy to tell people to buy originals- not everyone has original money. What happened to using whatever keeps one of cigarettes; no matter how much or how little it cost?

Didn't discourage buying the fake, this reply. Simply pointed out just because you don't like the fake, doesn't necessarily mean you won't like the real one. Saying it's the best tank ever made is certainly subjective. I can say it's the best I've ever used.

I like the way you think, ENAUD. So, a PNA (for lack of a better term, at least right now).

And maybe with a Stealth version (PNA Stealth), or PNS (for short). A Stealth PNS!

Now THERE's an interesting concept, now that I think about it. :blink:

Wondering who your other vendor is ;).


No you're not. :laugh:

:thumbs:

You're soooooooo not. ;)




Oh yes... a RadiMini :wub:

"not enough battery life" would probably be the same folks as "not enough watts". Hey they are already mad so what the heck. :D

Love the 'tude, Woofs. SO true.




We have an upstairs HVAC and a downstairs HVAC..and a wide open cathedral ceiling design so there is no separation of floors. I cannot begin to tell you how many times I told her that the two systems need to be on or off at the same time and same temperature settings. Think she believes me? Go upstairs and she has all the windows open. "But I turned off the furnace upstairs" :facepalm: Go up there and she has the air conditioner on while the furnace is on downstairs. "But it was warm up here" :facepalm:


I like her. She makes sense. Please tell her I said so. :D





And now........ 3 more posts to go.......... wow. do I talk THAT much?

My apologies Gin. I misinterpreted your post. :oops:

So, I was looking at the provape site at the new colors thinking "nice! Too bad I already have 3 others..." My wife walks in my office when I had stealth metal with snakeskin body up. She said " that's pretty cool! Want it for Valentine's day?" After clicking "confirm order" I received 2 emails. One from provape thanking me for paying off their mortgage in the last month, and one from my wife. Hers had a link to a really nice, really expensive necklace.
Well played, honey....well played.

Kinda a catch 22 for me. I ain't cheap at all, but $200+ in my CAD$ makes that tank about 10x the price of a Nautilus. not a chance I am buying a tank that costs almost what I paid for a Radius sight unseen and/or without trying it.

Maybe the fact that I am totally happy with my 20-ish $20-30 Aspire, Kanger, Uwell, Steam Crave and Tobeco tanks makes it hard to pay $150-200 for a single tank.

To each their own though....

Nope. Hurricane. :)
Ahhh....I'm vaping a hurricane on a Radius right now. It's a fantastic Atty. Is it worth $200? Not really. Great flavor, easy build and maintenance ....but $100-120 would've been more realistic. The new kayfun performs better for me across the board. I don't regret buying the hurricane though. I wouldn't buy another. One is plenty.

I just ordered an authentic Hurricane after trying the 316 clone from Fasttech (I think I posted in here the other day) and I love it!

Can't wait for the authentic to get here!

Cool. Very interested to hear your impressions of both due to the 8-10x difference in price.

My Fasttech Hurricaine clone won't likely be here for a month or so, but I am looking forward to trying it.
