I like to keep on thinking that I'm actually only spending a fraction of the money I spent smoking (2-1/2 packs a day with Illinois taxes = $100/week8-o) when I buy something on here, although the budget is still not great, I understand where you're coming from.
That being said, I have both a mini 3.7V and GLV-2 5V and love them both. I find side buttons uncomfortable to fire and the top button a more natural feel, a squeezing of the hand versus a pushing in an awkward plane. I tried a couple other mods for feel at Vapefest and remain happy with my choice; I also looked at every review I could -- amajnn, grimmgreen, allabouthtevapor, etc. -- and found little nit-picking done on this model; also, youtubecommercial's recent thread with the size comparisons is great for the uncertain. Also, I liked the way it looked, not like a hose attachment (I think doots said that about another mod, I cannot take credit), and I got the Nebulinator, my favorite and I rarely use my afs (right now a REO) because the hit is so much better. In conclusion, I ordered another -2 with another mini, both painted with the even newer colors -- what did Victor Kiam say? 'I liked it so much I bought the company' -- well I feel like I did and i ain't complainin'!
