Hello again Ryan, you html genius you!
I hear ya -- I remember back in July and August when the HH357 was all a buzz! Back then I have to admit I thought the price was crazy too
But I took the plunge just to try it out and
am I ever glad I did because they blew me away and they ruined the other atties for me (LR 510s and 306s) in the same way that the REO ruined e-cigs for me
I look at it this way - say you buy an HH357 at $21.99 (let's not add tax and shipping).
Now, let's say it lasts you 2 months -- That's about $11 per month
Now, let's say it lasts you 3 months -- That about $7.33 per month
Now, let's say it lasts you 4 months -- That's about $5.50 per month
(I have read reports of these atties lasting up to 8 months!)
I used to spend $11 to $12 a day on cigarettes in my city -- so when I look at it that way it helps me justify my expense.
I am very fortunate that my first HH357 is going strong after 4 months of use! (your mileage may vary).
And remember, these are hand-made, so it's basically a customized atomizer. As we know, mods cost more, but deliver more and so at the end of the day, they are worth it!
The way I see it, all vapers owe it to themselves to experience vaping with one of these. So treat yourself one day, or put it on your Xmas wishlist, or ask for it for your birthday -- you quit smoking and darn it, you are worth it!
PS: I don't ever want to have the dilemma of being without my HH357, so like with all my vaping stuff -- backups are KEY!
DISCLAIMER: While I love love LOVE the HH357 and believe it to be an amazing atomizer, it is an atomizer nonetheless, and subject to some of the issues other atomizers of equal or lesser value share, such as variable longevity. As someone who received an HH357 that did not perform as expected, I highly recommend that anyone who experiences an issue with their HH357 contact Avidvaper right away... they were very good about contacting Hanna Hadawar, the maker of the HH357, and Hanna in turn was very good about contacting me via email to assist in troubleshooting and finally in repairing the unit.
