LOL, dont say your vape is "lame" it has you off your cigarettes and as long as you enjoy it, it is priceless. DOnt let MOD envy diminish what you use. We all started with some sort of EGO or KGO and I dont think I would have been able to quit if it were not for those.
WHen I first started I thought all the larger devices were ridiculous and unnecessary. But as time goes by and you feel comfortable and start to see differences in your needs, than you can upgrade, but heck , if it aint broke........
I still have my original 2 KGO batteries and they still work. When starting off I think its very important to have something that feels like your old habit to hold on to.
