Works for me, not a modder or fixer. The fact that I know this is a good thing.

 

[ilporcupine]

Some of them are costly enough to warrant fixing, I would say!
(But I am a notorious cheapskate)

By the time I pay for round trip shipping and labor I've damn near spent as much as a new one would cost anyway.

I used to spend 2080 a year on cigarettes... and because of where I'm at cigarette prices here are cheaper than anywhere else in the nation.. most people spent more than twice that amount to smoke.

A good mod that costs you 1-150 will last anywhere from 1-3 years on average. Batteries are nothing, around 7 dollars each... coils if you buy factory coils can run 5 dollars a week at the very most, ejuice is the main cost of vaping but if you make it you save money...

I've spent less than 3000 on vaping in the four years I vaped, and could literally vape for the next 10 years without spending more than 25 dollars a year if I so chose because I have invested that money wisely. on top of that much of what I spent went to converting smokers I love into vapers.. my BIL, two of my SIL, my husband, my son, and a few freinds all started vaping (got their first kits etc) out of that expenditure.

Even if you spend 2 - 3 hundred on a mod once a year, chances are you won't even spend half of what you were spending on cigarettes... and that is how most of us view vaping... it's a drop in the bucket compared to what we were spending, so a little matchy matchy doesn't hurt a thing.

Now I am confused. lupinehorror posted about not being able to find a top cap he was missing. What round trip shipping, or labor is involved?

Not forgetting the fact that smoking is just burning your money away.If you spent half of the ciggy money on vaping you will end up with lots and lots of goodies to sit and gaze at lol

You can buy lots-o-car and shiny and down payment on a condo in a few years for that. I have figured my smoking expenses for over 25 years at a pack a day and I have almost smoked away a house.

Nah, I want a Gloom or Attysmith squonker next. Maybe, a SS Kayfun for my new Dani Extreme V3 too!

 

[Hightech Redneck]

@jfcooley and the other squonkers.
Y'all have thoughts on that ohm boy rage squonker.
Still on preorder basically everywhere but have seen folks posting on fb with theirs.
Seems to be well liked by those who have theirs.


Also rumor has it the squonker from Mike Vapes (and wotofo I think) is coming soon.
With the success of his icon, iconic and soon the recurve I'm hopeful.

That dollar amount just screams "not in Kansas anymore" doesn't it?

If that freaks you out don't talk to our Australian freinds about what they spend on smokes!

I spent over 3k a year smoking . I think since I started vaping -4.5 years ago- I’ve spent about $1000. Last year all I bought was one istick and some coils lol.

May be good, but I'm not a fan of the design. FT has it, think myvpro has it for $68. I think.
Someone sent me an email about it. I'm sorry, get quite a few a day...

I saw it on FT, no idea where else. I looked but can't find the other email. Sorry.

I'm really interested in that one. I'll wait and see what the real world users have to say once it arrives and I'm also curious about how it handles TC
