Overindulgent??

[Zofryer]

If you're talking about the Mahmba, it is the only mod I would absolutely and without question buy in a heartbeat. And I would probably pay as much as $300 for it without blinking an eye.

I've got my head in a mindset where I'm trying to come up with a mod I'd actually sell. To me that means made of metal, simple, offers something different. Something where I can give the prototype to a manufacturing firm and say "how much to make 500 of these". Not quit there yet, but I've got three ideas for prototypes.

Go for it brother! I support you, and im sure everyone else on the ECF does too. Send me one so I can do a review... Everyone Loves underground hiphop...don't they???

Yeah, go for it. I'm more than satisfied with my Janty Stick but what would get my interest (and hundreds of others most likely) is something like tinear's combo of a juice drip and a battery to handle it. Smaller the better of course - like if one could rig up a bottle inside an "extended 801 atty" and still get an airflow around it.

a quote from the SD forum.. call it spam if you like but it isnt really... its an explanation..

what is/was an e cig originally intended for..?? certainly not to replace tobacco smoking full time..

most folks are totally unaware of the fact this isnt what the average e cig is/was designed for.. Ruyan made these things for smokers to use when it wasnt socially acceptable to use a real tobacco product.. Ruyan made it clear they were never intended as a tobacco replacement..

the SD was the worlds first e smoking device designed and sold to replace tobacco products full time.. we think it does this..

everything that predates the SD was built and designed as a tobacco supplement not a total tobacco replacement.. which is the simple reason none of them last long when given heavy use.. they were never intended as total tobacco replacements.. just something to be used (occasionally) when the real thing wasnt socially acceptable..

this little snippet of information which will soon disappear into the archives or be zapped by a mod explains it all..

Ok, so I have been all over the forum and got so much education (not just on e-cigs, matter of fact I’m taking the bar on Monday…haha j/k) and information that I feel as though I have been vaping for a long time (only 2 weeks). I have seen all of the different PVs and the absolutely incredible MODS out there. I would love to own a Higher end PV, but I asked myself this question this morning… What was the real point of me switching to vaping instead of smoking? My answer was to live a longer, happier and healthier life (style). Which brought to my next question? If I treat myself to one of those wonderful toys (prodigy, gg, SD etc…) will I be over doing it? I would love to hear everyone’s thoughts on this. I have no doubt that once I would try these HEPVs (higher end personal vaporizers), I would most likely not want to vape from much anything else! Shed some light on this for me all you awesome people out there!

Thanks,
Chief

Is it possible to be overindulgent - when it comes to your health?

There are a lot of reasons to get mods, if you can afford them.
--much longer battery life
--much cheaper batteries
--better throat hit
--better vapor

And there are reasons, and these are mine, to never get a mod...
--don't care about battery life
--don't want something that looks like a mod
--already have more throat hit than I want
--don't need a huge cloud of vapor

If I missed anything on either side, please don't hesitate to add on.

The way you vape puts you in a very small minority when it comes to what people look for in the performance of their PV.

i love vaping.......everything about it.

i am definately getting a mod. i am just taking my time because i want to get the right one. doing my homework on these now

cant wait

 

[DonDaBoomVape]

I don't think of my Prodigy as a "Mod." A Mod is an unmanufactured homebrew that other Modders can copy and/or adapt in their own workshop.

The Prodigy (and other manufactured "high-voltage fat boys," as I call them) is one of the various types of e-cigarette, like the penstyle, mini, supermini, etc. It *is* a hybrid device (Chinese atomizer and cart + American battery pack).

BTW, I still use and enjoy my 801 (i.e., 801 atty + 801 battery), especially for my non-nicotine pacifier vaping, when I don't need (or want) throat hit.

If you have $140 available, the Prodigy (or GG, etc. if you prefer) is a great long-term investment (with short-term high satisfaction, while you're waiting for that investment to pay for itself).

Happy vaping!

Ok, this is my take. Although nicotine in itself is not cancerous, one of the effects of nicotine is to promote the growth of small cell lung cancer cells and prevent the immune system from handling them in a normal fashion. Now I do not claim to know in what quantity this phenomenom occurs but it is what it is.

Since I was already getting nic in my smokes, the PV was a no brainer. I love a throat hit and what have you but my biggest concern would be whether or not the mods you mention caused more nic to be delivered. According to the studies I read a reg PV delivers a fraction of the nic a cig does but it keeps me happy.

 

[trog100]

none of them are "mods" in the true sense of the word.. just purpose designed e smoking devices that are designed with function as the priority and not just made to ape a real tobacco product..

how they are made is irrelevant... its what they do that matters..

trog

ps.. and how much nicotine you get from any of them is entirely down to the user.. if you dont want or need the bigger battery devices thats it.. they are not for you...

So Trog, what I am understanding from your post (correct me if I am wrong here) but 'mods' or 'non mods' do not deliver more nic per drag, do not heat to a higher temperature thus vaporizing more nic at a drag, therefore do not deliver more nic per puff? OK so tell me how you get a higher vapor production and throat hit. I was looking at your screwdriver in particular when considering this as a possible purchase.

ADDENDUM: I neglected to mention the importance of manual switch placement (and "feel") in your selection of a big boy.

For *me* being able to use my thumb on a large button (i.e., the Prodigy) is perfect. Some of the others seem to require using your pinky finger (or perhaps your middle finger if holding the device in a different way) when pressing the button at the end of the device.

I am now going to find out more about that Mahmba. Automatic juice injection is the next major advancement needed for the e-cig (other than perhaps a more reliable, longer-lasting atty).

I may be in the minority, but I doubt that minority is as small as you think.
On the other hand, it is probably smaller than I think.

And not to quote myself, but yeah...

I might offer the idea that the demographics of the eletronic cigarette community are changing, and will continue to change. There very well may be more younger people getting involved than in the past, and there may very well be more people who were not such hardcore smokers getting involved.

Just a thought, could be wrong though...

the screwdriver was as much about not having to carry six 901 batteries and a packet of rolling tobbaco as a real back up as about as producing more throat hit or vapour..

the manual switch does allow more vapour if that is whats required but how much nicotine a person gets is down to the mg strength of the liquid and how much puffing is done or even how long each puff is..

basically the user puffs as much as they want... uses whatever mg liquid they want.. its all down to them..

a brand new 901 used to work okay for us when at home.. away from home was the problem with them.. and the fact replacing the batteries every couple of weeks cost too much and the having to carry a pocket full factor...

the SD could be described as a middle of the road device.. a balancing act.. its not designed to produce as much vapour as possible.. just enough to satisfy the needs of most folks.. if maximum anything is required there probably are better choices out there now..

Thats just the thing Trog, I do want a Higher end PV... I guess what I asked myself is... Am I overindulging by getting one when my 510 does it for me already? I still havent come up with a solid answer, but one thing is for certian... I want one

Thanks for the response. I had the same concern with my 510. Since I like the throat hit but am wary of the nic I solved the issue by cutting the juice with 0 nic same flavor, so no matter how I lay on the button I am not getting as much nic as with the full strength juice.

[Chief-A-Lot]

Im open to suggestions, I do have an offer for someone to make one, that can use different voltage... still not totally up on the differences between what volt and all that, but I assume a high voltage = Higher Vapor production...

Haha very nice. Well, me and you both received our 510 at the same time. I get what you're saying. I'm personally very content with the 510 and anything more would probably end up just irritating my throat. That's just me on a personal level.

Plus, I'd rather maximize my newfound savings toward something else like ....

OR ................

Indeed Proto, I am actually more concerned with the battery issue is all really...
