what an interesting thread this is, having just read it all at once.
it started as a review that sounded so good some got suspicious; got a little hostile with the mini vs. mod debate, then came around by the end, thanx to an honest review by someone who had a chance to learn and speak from experience, rather than speculate based in cynicism.
listen folks. we all know it's a common human trait to choose sides and defend home turfs, whether it's a sports team or a favorite brand of car/beer/e-cig/etc. everyone likes to endorse their favorites, and it's easy to get over zealous about anything that we think is super awesome.
but what we need to remind ourselves, or each other rather than escalating a debate; is that where the technology of personal vaporizers is concerned, it's not about which is "the best". it's about how many that are great. and how many more great ones keep coming out. and how many great ones become greatER.
we want diversity. and we want all the options among the diversity to excel. this is what will give the e-cig industry CREDIBILITY. and that will lead to LONGEVITY.
the little debate i read a few posts back at first reminded me of the old beer commercials: "tastes great!" "less filling!" in that it's an argument over what's the more important feature of the same product. but i think e-cigs are a lot like what i see in motorcycling. some riders swear by harleys. some riders say it's gotta be sleek and fast thru the twisties. but ALL riders respect that if you're on two-wheels, you're one of us. so have fun and try to make it home alive cuz the 'cagers' will get you! hah, bikers will get that. anyway, i've always owned cruisers. my current bike is an 1100. some riders think my bike is huge, like a recliner on wheels. they prefer the small and sporty speed bikes, usually only 600s. i think my bike is only midsized, compared to a 2000.
but i learned on a 250. if i tried starting out on an 1100 i may not still be riding today. most of us start small and then go off into some specific style of motorcycle that suits us. i think the commenters were describing what their vaping preferences evolved to be. some vapers evolved to demand continuous, undisrupted heavy use. some vapers evolved to seek their "perfect" analog replacement.
i think for each of these people to feel so strongly about their preferred vaping style, they each had to develop into VAPERS. and that takes time. because most people start as SMOKERS; become smokers who want to quit/cutback; start vaping, then later become vapers. it's a crawl before you walk progression to me. so a noob can't know whether they'd want the latest and greatest super mini or mod. they have to learn that by doing, and changing from a smoker to a vaper.
sure, i believe the industry has plenty of room to expand. mods could be marketed more towards people who don't smoke, may have never smoked, but want to vape. heck, is vaping a "healthier" (i use loosely) activity than eating candy/sugary snacks all day? vaping could become a weight-loss aid. so PVs could be marketed in that manner, totally differentiating from cigarette/nicotine marketed items.
there's never going to be a "best" because it's subjective, and there's too much variance in taste. but they can and should all be great, and continuously striving to be better, which benefits us all!
MEANWHILE, @OP:
i'm glad you're all stoked on the bloog, because that tells me that the kr808d1 technology is going to continue to exist and evolve. cool.
Tryin to figure out how to get it to Denmark( through customs)
