THIS is one of the reasons why I will stick with my Vision Spinners and various clearomizers!
Thankfully, I'm finally starting to see more and more people here in NYC with eGo/clearo combinations, but I *never ever* see anyone around here with any kind of mod, therefore any type of box or light-saber-looking thing is bound to attract some unwanted negative attention from strangers & law enforcement (IMO). Believe it or not, I still get crazy looks from people when I use my eGo. Another negative would be having to give up some of my purse space to carry these things around with me and *that* is more important to me than the quest for the perfect vape.
My eGo Spinners range from 400mah to 1600mah and I can carry them rather comfortably & compactly. I have a wide range of clearomizers to choose from that will work with these batteries, so I am happy with this set up. I just want to be able to charge up, load up, and go. Lately, I find myself using bottom coil clearos more & more, since it is far easier to change out a coil on those, than on the top coil clearos. Just turn them upside down inside a shot glass, change out the coil, top off the liquid, and go about my day. Boom, done... No muss, no fuss!
I started vaping in order to quit smoking, not to start a hobby. I have no desire to rebuild, drip, and I don't even bother pimping out my set up. I don't need girly glitz/bling or fancy drip tips. The most 'girly' I get is a Rainbow Spinner with a matching colored clearo on top. I don't even bother changing out the standard drip tips in the newer ProTanks/Evods/T3Ds, despite being able to. Why? I never wanted to decorate my packs of cigarettes & my lighters when I smoked and these are no different to me.
If others have the time, money, creativity, and desire to use the more advanced personal vaporizers, good for them. As it is, I have a pile of coils that I haven't even gotten around to dry burning yet, so switching over to mods/drippers would be an epic fail for me. Call me lazy, if you want, but this is what has worked for me for over a year and a half.
