I like the threads where the OP asks what resistance head they should use with a ProTank on their brand new Spinner and are told they need to get an RBA and some Kanthal...
I like the ones where the poster is brand new to vaping, and doesn't even HAVE a Spinner yet, and they are told to get an RBA.
The forum, as I'm sure you've noticed, has grown huge. With that, I do see a lot of misinformation being given out, but I also think people just want to be helpful and pitch in, despite that they haven't been vaping long.
As long as everyone realizes that you have to take everything you read as only a guideline, and then do your own research.
BTW, I might have kept my provari if it had ego threading.

I like ego threading. Same reason I got rid of my Baby Bullet, which was gorgeous and darling and.........pink!
Best of both worlds, in what I consider "affordable midrange" mods would be to have one Provari and one REO. I'm sure there is other stuff, but I can't afford those things. Out of 30 something mods I've had those are the best so far.
If you wanted to go a little below that price point, I was rather impressed with the Sigelei Zmax V3.
