How exactly would a relabeled istick 30 support American workers?

Sent from my M7_PLUS using Tapatalk

What I took from him was if Provari had made an arangement with eleaf to clone the istick in the US and sold them for 60 bucks he would have been a buyer.

I like American workers, knowing afew myself, but this isn't a huge deal for me. Not much work goes into assembling a mod and lets face it these things aren't exactly detonators. So a handful of low skilled jobs lost is sad but its not a new Toyota plant or something.

Two smokers smoking 2 PAD for 5 years and paying NY taxes(very few if anyone doesn't buy bootlegs) would have spent 75 grand. Two Months ago I paid that much for a move in ready 1200 sq/ft ranch house. Actually one up the street that needs some updating for 65K.

So in closing I'm saying a couple who smoke could for a fact buy a house in NY and pay it off in 5 years just by quiting smoking. Thats crazy huh??

Of coarse I only smoked bootlegs so my savings isn't anywhere near that amount but I still would save money if I didn't fall down the vape rabbit hole.

I only had a few Provari's so didn't lose a ton of money. I'm pretty cheap so it does sorta bother me but in the big picture my pickup eat Provari priced parts for breakfast.
I want to throw up every time I think about. Smoked until almost age 50 [emoji17]

$1000 for an rda?
Does it at least come with lube or do they just come at ya all rough?
:facepalm:

I'd pay a grand for their customer list.
Lol.
Crazy, I know... and people will grab them up quick. They don't make them anymore but resale I have seen them as much as 1500! And it's just an rda! I have seen mods go for that and although I wouldn't spend that, at least it seems like your getting a bit more. I think they come at you all rough like

I smoked from age 12 to age 52...even if vaping cost me as much as smoking, I would consider myself better off because of health gains. Vaping has cost me way less that smoking...waaayyyyy less, and I have lot's and lot's of cool vape toys to last for many years to come.

In the end, anything anyone has spent on vape gear is water under the dam, and inconsequential if they managed to walk away from sucking on a burning tube of plant matter to satisfy a chemical craving. Moneys spent would have gone to the tobacco industry anyways, so any penny that they have been denied through vaping is a win in my book. Yes, every penny :D :lol:

Saw one go the other day for $950. They were $150 orig. price, which in itself is a lot for an RDA.

I was thinking about selling a Provari...and then the prices tanked.
Just can't part with one for that kind of money when I bought them at peak...

One of these days, I'll find the right topper and build to use one for a travel backup or something. I'm just not used to aiming for anything over 1 ohm. Or maybe I'll bump into just the right tootlepuffer PIF recipient, who knows?

For now, I've got two just sitting - both black, one a mini, one blue one green (paid extra for that!).
I still have some great high end carto tanks, too!

    I read a review where the author said it was worth every cent.
    And a pargraph later the very same author says the $15 clone is just as good as the authentic, and recommends it, as the authentic is sold out.
    OMFG.
    :facepalm:

    That clone popped up I think just today. $19. Might even get one for that, just cuz it's plastic and maybe can take a bounce? Maybe I'll wait - 'til it's available without a crappy atty, at $14 tho.

    :D
    Yep. Nardas are bringing big bucks. So are Frankenskull squonk boxes. No idea why.

    That's nutty.

    And I say that as a guy that has no problem spending $200-300 for a good pair of boots/shoes, owns high end Swiss watches, own insanely expensive bass guitars, have a big Bordeaux/Burgundy wine collection, etc.

    Sorry, unless a genie pops out of that atty to do cheeky things, I just can't do a $100+ atty. Maybe smoking killed my ejuice tasting capabilities. :eek:
