To all you dummies spending $200+ on a mod..........

[stillnotsmoking]

Well one thing to recognize is that if you're hanging out on this forum you're part of a subculture and likely a hobbyist when it comes to vaping. In our bubble, we are each moving vertically (upgrading, upgrading) or laterally (just one more mod!). There are a lot of vapers that aren't in this bubble. For them, an ego kit and a few clearos are keeping them from smoking and that's good enough for them.

I used to manage a bicycle shop back in the day and about 80% of my customers just needed a $200-$500 bicycle. It was only 20% that would keep returning either upgrading (I need a better and better mountain bike) or expanding (I have a mountain bike now I need a road bike, cyclocross, single-speed, ton of accessories etc.). In the bubble, it's easy to believe that it's normal to own a $4500 mountain bike or 7 different bicycles.

I'm not saying the OP is wrong by any means, but it's important to put ex post facto arguments about the economic efficiency of buying into top-of-the-range gear into perspective for those outside the subculture.

I had to comment on this. I worked with a guy who road his bike to work everyday rain or shine. His bicycle cost more than his car! Crazy right!?

Enjoying your health is worth every penny. Some people turn it into a hobby/obsession and spend more pennies than others....
