I am losing my mind a little bit trying to decide between buying a Kissbox Classic and a Screwdriver and am at a bit of an impasse at the moment. I have the screwdriver pulled up on ebay waiting for me to click buy it now, and the Kissbox all set up in my Janty shopping cart and am ready to click confirm - but I can only buy one. I have read all of the kissbox and screwdriver threads (including the miles long Kissbox...Wow thread) multiple times, but am still torn.
Right now I am using a 901 with 3 batteries (a fourth is in the process of being replaced.) I like it, but get annoyed with constantly having to top off the cartridge. When I smoked analogs I smoked 30-40 a day. I am currently changing batteries on the 901 1-2 times per day (using 2-3 batteries total if you get my drift.) I primarily use cartridges, but will sometimes drip when I am at home, or running outside for a quick break at work.
Here is my list of pros and cons:
Kissbox:
Pros:
Very attractive (I prefer the black) I work in an office and wear suits frequently, the Kissbox looks very sleek, and as a plus could pass for a pen. I also think it would look very nice with a black atomizer and titanium switch and battery
Company has excellent reputation for customer service. Quick and easy replacements, shipped from the US, and they honor their warranty
Manual switch does not have a hole in it, thus preventing liquid from dripping down into it and fouling up the works
Spare parts are reasonably priced, can accept generic atomizers, batteries only a dollar or two more than generics
USB and car adapter options
Cons:
I hear wildly varying reports on battery life, and guarantee on batteries is only three months. If their batteries are anything like the batteries with the 901 I would expect their life-spans to dwindle rapidly
There seem to be some quality control issues and a rather high component failure rate
Additional batteries are $17 apiece
Chargers can only charge one battery at a time
Screwdriver:
Pros:
I have yet to read one negative review
I have an e-bay coupon for 10% off of any one item
Seems to be very sturdy
Generic 901 atomizers cheap to replace
Additional batteries are $7 for 4 from deal extreme - dirt cheap!
Is attractive in a futuristic sort of way
Chargers available to charge multiple batteries at once - assuming the deal-extreme charge doesn't explode 8-o
Cons:
Ships from England, and has to be shipped back there if it needs service (this is a big con in my opinion)
Really does look like a screwdriver - not necessarily the professional image I am trying to project
I showed it to a friend an he thought it looked like a crack-pipe. A co-worker I showed it to thought it was for pot
I am a bit stuck on making this decision. I wish I could buy both, but unfortunately that is not an option.
I would like to finalize my decision today and place my order so I can stop obsessing over which to buy, and begin obsessing over when it will arrive.
An input would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks
