We might need an intervention here.

That is beautiful. Skip the gold edition Minikin & G class and get this one!

Not a bad price at $169.95 on preorder. Now to convince me that it would be a great birthday present to me. ;) We want to get Hamilton tickets again - for DC if I can get them or for the new block of NYC tickets being released on Monday. Hamilton or a mod? The mod is cheaper. LOL

Mod will be my recommendation every time. It will last for years and you can still sell if it becomes outdated. Just common sense Pam.;)

Well, Hamiton again is a must - the family would never forgive me if I don't come up with tickets to either DC or NYC but at box office price this time. Only Brittany, my oldest, and I saw it in NYC in December. It was magical. The mod is dirt cheap by comparison.

Mod for your birthday, tickets for a belated family New Year treat.

3fvape has the demon killer tiny rda for purchase now. Anyone interested in this one?

Authentic Demon Killer Tiny RDA Yellow PEI 14mm Rebuildable Atomizer

I just ordered one to try out. It's kinda like a baby wasp nano.
Saw that. Intriguing but I want to try the wasp first. It's supposed to be here Saturday, so I'll get it maybe by next Wednesday.

Starting to get a little miffed at Om Vapor. Juice still hasn't moved past processing. No movement today and I'm cancelling. 2 orders from another vendor have been delivered, that's saying a lot with my PO.

That thing looks so cool. Let us know what you think of it. Btw, if you need help building on something that small I have this magnifying headset and it has worked out really well for me

@jfcooley would probably recommend getting 2 plus a squonker.
Oh no. That thing is pure gimmick. Sadly diehard fans will swear they hit the nail on the head with it. I predict it will be clearance in 2 months.

The companies see the current trend, but are somehow screwing it up. Squonking is it, yet we see 2 major duals? Single batteries seem to be easy enough, duals have size against them. There has to be an acceptable configuration.

What I've learned is the Vape business model isn't set on R&D at all. It's switch a configuration and apply something pretty to what is essentially the same mod over and over (Hi Smok!). Innokin at the moment seems to be the only one trying something different.

Seriously, look at your collection, anyone. 99% of mods are beyond basically the same configuration/style. Quality may vary, but not much else.

Hell, another trend is to make A, the release a smaller version of A, then an LED version of that, then A with different finish...

Need innovation.

I think things have stagnated for a reason... just how much more innovation even can be done?

How can the technology itself improve really?

Design? It's been thought of within the limitations of electronics and battery size...

Much won't improve without either the technology of the day improving, or our battery knowledge improving as a whole...

Little things? When it's only a handful of people wanting something then it's not worth the time for a company to design around a thing. ..

For example:

My son wants a four battery mod, but only four were ever made, they sucked, and most people don't like carrying around a brick of batteries so the more battery route was fairly well discontinued.

So that leaves him with basically the best three battery mod ever made, in a form where all issues with it were fixed - and probably no one but my son is very interested in, because people as a whole don't want a three battery mod either.

Now, you take this disdain for the size of a three battery mod as a whole in the community - and you want manufacturers to take their time to turn a three battery configuration into a two battery regulated squonker - and guess what? Once a company does this it WON'T be very popular because it's going to be sizeable. .

And thing is, there are already two battery mech s quonkers on the market which ALSO aren't very popular but to a niche group because of the same thing - size!

There are limitations for everything and I don't see room for much further innovation within the parameters of our technologies today. ..
