i'll post wherever i plz. so YOU can get out of here, ducky. i know what's up and i never claimed that puresmoker's products were better or worse. i simply stated that it was a small 123a device. but now that you mention it, all button issues have been resolved and IMO, have taken the v2 past any leagues that you'll ever be thinking of. and pete, talk to casey and she'll take care of you. anyways, im getting carried away here. bottom line is that no, the v2 does not suck, and yes, altsmoke products rock. and mr. duck pimp over there doesnt need to be dissing puresmoker products and needs to just let me answer a question. show some common courtesy.
