I've been blowing vapor out of these things since before there was digital and the vapor hasn't changed. Some put out more some less and some are easier to use but my $250.00 mod doesn't do anything the one I built in 09 for peanuts does. They both heat up ejuice to produce the same vapor.
I think people tell themselves that to make themselves feel better about spending $500.00 on a mod.
It's like hot sauce. The 5oz bottle I buy for $25.00 has to be toned down because it's just too effin hot to use as it is so why would I buy a $2500.00 5 oz. bottle that's hotter? Oh yes there is some mighty fine mods that I would love to own but don't want to spend that much money for. But they still just create the same vapor. It doesn't change the flavor, nicotine concentration or anything else unless I change my juice ingredients.
WARNING: Just move on to the next post as this one is nothing but one blowhard's opinions on something ridiculously inconsequential in the grand scheme of life.

Dear John (so to speak),
I have a good number of fairly expensive mods, a large number of mid-range mods, and a about the same number of cheapies as I have of high end ones. I've purchased many more of each level than I own now, and sold off the ones that weren't worth it to me. Not that they weren't good mods, but that they weren't good for
me. The value they brought didn't meet what I was looking for at the time.
Can I tell you the difference between a $250 Dicodes and a $13 Wismec? Absolutely. But what's the point, since it would be 100% based on
my value system? Do I enjoy both mods? ABSOLUTELY!
Do I think I need to make myself feel good after buying an expensive mod? I think not, and my history of sales probably proves that point (not that I feel a need to prove it). I do know that I've been both complimentary and critical of mods with price having absolutely
no bearing on my opinions.
Shawn sets his limit at $50 (I believe). It doesn't matter
why he feels that way. He set it, and he sticks to it. I respect that a
whole lot more than I do someone who buys something they can't afford, simply because they feel the need. In his case, it's clearly not because he can't afford them (he owns 20 times the number I'll ever dream of), but instead has set
his principles based on
his value system. We should all be so disciplined.
In one regard, John, you're correct. The vape experience between mods A & Z does
not justify strapping one's self financially. Ultimately though,
none of us are qualified to judge others for their decisions and/or value systems (not just in vape either, and not just relating to money).
You (J5) have
your reasons for strongly supporting the good folks at NotCigs and Billet Box Vapor. If someone took issue with those decisions, or implied that you were
"just trying to make yourself feel good", how would you respond?
