(A quick note: I tend to ramble in this post, so unless you're in the mood for my personal story, you might want to skip the first couple of paragraphs)
Hello! I have been a vaper for almost a year now. I purchased a Joye 510 at the suggestions of multiple users here in the forums, and I've loved it. Back then, I was looking for a good replacement for my analog cigarettes, and it has served it's purpose very well. I will admit that I have not treated my PV as well as I should have. I lost my spare atomizer and battery some time ago, but not before I managed to run it over with my car (it still worked fine
). The atty and bat I have left are pretty scratched up from dropping it on the ground, but aside from mussing up the pretty black paint job, it still works perfectly. I have, however, noticed recently that it has become somewhat... temperamental after I charge the battery. After charging the battery, it doesn't like to work until after I've whacked it a couple of times. I think this may be a sign that it is starting to fail on me, and I'm interested in getting a new PV.
I'm not a real heavy vaper most of the time. Honestly, I can go for several days without needing nicotine as long as I am not under stress (this is rarely the case). The biggest instigator for needing nicotine is when I have been drinking. I suppose the obvious solution is to just give up alcohol as well, but I don't see that happening. I love to drink socially, and I loved to go out on the patio with my friends and light up a cigarette with them. Since replacing the cancer-sticks with the 510, not that much has changed except that when new people come over they ALWAYS, without fail, ask about it. It's actually kind of rewarding to explain to them what it is, what it does and how it works. After explaining it to them, they almost always ask to try it, and I am usually happy to oblige. I also love to puff away when I'm at my computer especially if I'm playing a game (Civilization IV is probably the worst offender) so a USB bypass would be great so that I don't have to worry about running out of battery power.
Anyway, here is a short list of what I am looking for:
1) Vapor production (the bigger the cloud, the better)
2) USB bypass and/or a long battery life (~4 hours of heavy vaping)
3) Sturdy construction (as I mentioned, I am not the most careful person, so something that can take a beating is a plus)
4) Cost (preferably less than $100USD, but this is mostly a guideline)
As far as aesthetics goes, I'm pretty much open to anything. It doesn't have to look like an analog cigarette, or a pen, or anything really. It doesn't have to be ultra-portable either; I much prefer functionality over looks.
Thank you in advance for any suggestions. Linking reputable websites where I can purchase the PV would also be greatly appreciated.
