Why do all the experience vapers out there seem to all use mods?

this thread is great; not only gives plenty for the OP but it's about us having the op to sound out our thinking on what has happened to us.
I got into this close to 2 yrs now, and everything but a 510 practically was called a mod at some point. Then I saw how someone "invented" fish tank blue foam to fill your cartridges with....heheh and that was call a cart mod.... oh, i get it! "modification" ! yeah.
So I started making a point of writing PV (now APV) when it was not something that was added on or "modified" off the PV, APV, device, or accessory. ... but everyone kept saying "mod" for everything, so I recently started saying MOD again; it's easier.... not like this post
Anyways, I've tried almost everything and recently have gone "back" to 3.7 and LR.... it's a kick in the .... Basically as long as the voltage/watts are correct for the resistance, I don't care what it's vaped on, just that it tastes good, and has good vapor, and of course, that it's Snickerdoodle.

I take a break from ECF for a couple of months, and when I get back I see APV everywhere. I'm like, "Did I miss the newest & greatest mod?"

It's not a mod it's an APV.
Did I miss it or has the OP started a thread and not yet returned? Oh well, he started a conversation.
I like my Provari V2, but it isn't the only way to get the same vape. My cheapo plastic box mod will do the same thing, just not as elegantly. When I ride the lawn mower there's an eGo in my pocket with the 5 click switch turned off. The more you pay for a mod, the less likely you are to take it places where it could get stolen or damaged.
Getting the right voltage to the right atty/carto is the key. If you can do that and like it, then that's the one for you. We all need backups in several layers. If my 18650 charger dies, I can still vape on the eGo and be really happy until USPS arrives with replacements.

Because mods are REALLY COOOOOL!
Mods allow you to use many different attys, cartos and tanks systems that a small e cig or even ego could not handle. Mods have many different styles and ideas behind them. Mods have more options to customize your vaping experience and meet your needs. Mods tend to have batteries that last for 1-2 days which is very practical, where as e cigs you have to charge every two hours. Mods in my opinion are beautiful pieces of technology. It's like comparing a go-phone to an iphone. You get what you pay for.

John D in CT has a good point with the light bulbs but as an electrician most people want dimmers to adjust light out put but the dimmers stay in one setting all of the time a light switch cost $1 and last for years dimmers are $15 and up burn out easy and often i sugest right size wattage and leave it a simple apv works good easy to fix and lasts long time more advanced more things go wrong more expensive to fix nothing wrong with top end just not right for everyone i have a madvapes vv i find what works best for each juice and find carto that fits that wattage i vape till im done then find a dif one and start over works good for me still i would not pass on a better vv i would no pass on a lambo eather hope this helps
well you see when you vape for a while things tend to break, as you upgraded from a disposable to a rechargeable
the experience goes along with this. like if you jump too far ahead in the "upgrades" for example upgrading to a tank
requires a lot of vaping knowledge to use and a lot of dedication to look up how to use it along with cleaning etc.

Rogo,
I think the short answer to your question is that those who "smoke" minis (like me) really don't have much to talk about, so you don't see much from them on the forums. Maybe a "silent majority"?
A good mini provides a really great "smoking" experience without a lot of variables, so it's just a matter of finding your favorite flavor and then there's nothing more to discuss.
Just be sure to get lots of extra batteries and empty cartomizers to get you through the day.
Good luck with your new "cigarettes"...

In truth, most folks want something that "just works", right out of the box, to replicate a tobacco cigarette in every way possible. I think one of the things that helps people switch to vaping more easily than to gum, lozenges, patches or pills is with vaping there are far fewer things to remind us we're switching. I can only speak for myself here, but thinking back a few months the idea of an "e-cig" looking like this contraption (E-Power) I've been using for awhile now would have been unthinkable to me... not because of what others might think it was, but because of what *I* would know it *wasn't*.
IMO the best PV is the one I will use, & the best "Mod" is whatever modification(s) I can make to what I have to increase its functionality. And: the only money I ever wasted was spent on lessons paid for but never learned. Education is not cheap; now I know whatever the cost, if I learned the lesson & survived the experience I got my money's worth.

Had the same question.... I have an ego t but am a little bit disappointed with preformance. I have done all the various cleaning... Still a lot of fiddling. Still tend to go back to my 808 for consistent flavor. Just ordered an attomizer for dripping.... Might eventually try a mod....

I wonder why this first generation Ego-T is still being sold nowadays. At first glance, it's the best upgrade to slim cigs. It does work right out of the box. A week later, all sorts of issues begin to crop up. I got tired of it and I found out that you could have the option of replacing the T with LR 510 cartos. And that's been my config with it.
I mean sellers know these issues, yet they're still selling them making quick bucks out of gullible people. And that's what I don't like about this e-cig business. It seems a business preying on noobs.
While there are issues with the eGo-T there are still people that love the simplicity. My mother uses and eGo-T and loves it. I've gave her a box of LR boges and she still went back to the T .
The majority of vapers out there aren't perusing ECF and saving up for a ProVari. I took the next step into an APV. but most stick with an eGo or cigarette styled device.
I think that your complaint about the eGo-T is a lot like someone complaining about buying a new car and then considering it "an issue popping up" that it needs to be filled up with gas a week later. When I hear you say "all kinds of issues", it seems to me that you're referring to one issue; the atomizer needs maintenance or replacement.
Ask around for opinions on how long atomizers or cartomizers perform at peak levels before needing attention. I think you're besmirching a very fine product for no valid reason.
The eGo-C system simplifies and reduces the cost of maintaining or replacing the atomizer itself by spliiting the atomizer section into 3 pieces; base, cone, and atomizer head. The atomizer heads are about $5 each. All or most of the major reviewers speak very well of the eGo tank system, and there are some very, very cool after-market rebuildable atomizers that use the eGo tanks; the Bulli and iMist, for example.
The Joyetech eGo tank system is just one of the PV's I use, but it's a very, very nice one IMO, that also IMO deserves better respect than what you're giving it.
I like a lot of vaping options myself. I enjoy them all and different devices for different needs/situations is always a bonus. Still love a skinny auto vape and dripping on a VV eGo. But my mods get equal amounts of love. Variety is GOOD.
I can tell you that I moved up to VV mod, Buzz from Notcigs within my first 3 months of vaping. My reasoning was that I was just not getting enough from my Riva to keep me off the cigs. If my Riva would have done the job, I would still be using it. I do know of at least one member here at ECF that has been here longer than I have that never found the need to move up from an Ego and is still using it.
The Buzz Pro from Notcigs is where you will get the best bang for your buck IMO It is a workhorse that just keeps going and going.

I don't really "act" any particular way; I just say what as think as clearly, accurately, and respectfully as I can.
Now what's really bothering you?

They should suspend production of these first gen ego-t's and scrap all the remaining items. That's all I'm saying. They will always be bound to countless issues just after a week or so. You can try all the maintenance applications you're talking about here and they will continue to have issues. The design is flawed in the first place.
