I am a little different than the hard core crowd here. I like good stuff that works but I'm not a hobbyist. I came back because I couldn't get the cartomizers I use and the Sophia has now become my cartomizer replacement. I did learn that rta's can work for a non-hobbyist.
My other reason for coming back was to see if anything new came out in the way of hands free devices. I want to see if the duo is better than what I am using now
Nothing wrong with the hard core crowd, they provide the capital through their purchases to move the technology forward. They benefit everyone.
Some of us here are the same as you. I think the Radius brought a lot of us together again. I'm not a collector. I like to use all the equipment I buy, don't have a showcase or a lot of stuff (except juice) sitting in a drawer. I myself got frustrated with the MicroSticks and was looking for something new. Found my way back here. Yes, I did.
