Heh, I've actually handled an original 905 (Nomad), which was being given away due to it nearly lighting the previous owner's bed on fire. I decided against it.
It didn't vape that well anyway, even on a fresh batt.
NurseCin, you have no idea how badly I wished that thing was any good! The Nomad has a Nomad. Har har.
Drozd, I get it about GG. I have certain well-liked companies I won't deal with for my own reasons as well. I see Imeo as being like most intelligent, inventive people - not very socially adept, and shouldn't be in control of his own PR, but a fundamentally nice dude. I'm willing to work with that, since I understand it to a degree, and his customers seem quite happy with their mods.
If I fall into the kind of money required to get a Precise, it will be a much more even fight, that might even go the Precise's way. But I can't justify double the cost right now, when the benefits seem relatively slight. Although the P16 really is beautiful, and right in the size range I'm looking for. I don't mind having to go LiMN with that size battery.
I've been powering through the battery resources around here, and I get that most cases of battery failure have been either unprotect Li-Ion, or stacking, or insufficient amperage, or other user mistakes. There are a lot of people now using mods who know a lot less about batteries than even I did, and that's a bit frightening.
I'm spending the dead time between now and whenever I end up buying something trying to know as much as I need to about it, but, call me paranoid, if I wind up with Precise, I will still ask him to put vent holes in it. Unnecessary? Maybe, depending on the model. But it would make me feel better.
**Removed due to my wrong-ness. The Icon vents are open while vaping.**
Yeah, I've been hunting through the Mod List. I just figured I'd get everyone's opinions. Although it really doesn't seem like too many people have much bad to say about any of the mechanical mods - not surprising.
