Why Do People Buy Cheap Junk???

[jwoode]

I think people lose sight of the fact that there are several schools of thought on vaping.

There are hobbyists, tech enthusiasts, political activists and people like me..
I just don't want to ever touch another cigarette.. 40 years was quite enough.

In my short time vaping, I have accumulated ridiculous piles of stuff and spent enough to make you laugh. I don't look at hardware and consider how long it will last or not last. I look at it and ask myself.. will the size, style, and functionality, work for specific situations and places? If I see a place and time it would be useful... bag it please and hand it over. I don't care what is "best" because best for me probably will not be for you, but I will have a blast with my shiny toys.

I quit smoking.. I win.. my stuff is way better than yours because it works for me.

You are wise for one with so few posts, grasshopper. I predict that you will go far on these forums.

I didn't read the whole thread but... I never realized a provari made your clearos stop leaking and giving dry hits

I've bought 3 ego style batteries, two vamos, and two cheap mechs.

One of my ego batteries died due to a faulty protank head, the threads on one of my vamos stripped when I dropped it and the aga-t2 that was attached popped out.

I also only smoked about 1/2 a PAD, at about $4.75 a pack, so my savings aren't really all that much from vaping. I primarily use my clone mechs with rda's now, so if I had bought a provari that would now be sitting unused, I'd be a little bit ticked off. YMMV

If you break 5 more eGos and 1 more Vamo, and I get one more mech we'll be even.
...except you'll still be short one ProVari.

You can't sub-ohm below .8 on a ProVari, but you can certainly use RDA's on one. Most people (here on ECF) don't use clearo's on a ProVari anyways.
People buy a ProVari because it's one tough mod and it can take a beating that would break 95% of the other mods.

I'm not knocking the provari, it's a great APV, but it isn't the be all/end all of vaping. Different strokes for different folks. Not everything that isn't a provari is a cheap piece of ****.

I don't really sub ohm, usually 1-2ohms depending on what I'm vaping, I like my mechs for the simplicity and the smaller profile than a vv mod.

The bit about the clearos leaking was in response to the OP saying something along the lines of "If you buy something that isn't a provari, don't complain when your clearos leak and you get dry hits." One has nothing to do with the other.

Honestly, if there were no cheap stuff available, I don't think I would have come this far in vaping at all. I started vaping to save money

No matter what we vape with the thing that counts is we all are vaping instead of smoking.

Probably showing my age here.

But you own a Provari.

 

[Southern Tina]

Yes, I do. I spent a lot before I bought it.

Edited to say: I'm not sure what you meant by your post?

If you play both the lolly videos starting 30 seconds after the first one starts you can create a worm hole that disrupts the space time continuum and can then enter a parallel universe where this thread was never started and therefore does not keep popping up in my face making me wonder each time I see it "WHY WONT THIS THREAD DIE?" Thank you Lolly video posters. Finally I can lurk this part of the forum without seeing this thread being repeatedly repeated. Now I am going to go buy some cheap junk and never let anyone know how I feel about it after I get it.

Fishee, some threads are like this. They have a life all their own and no one knows why they refuse to die, or why they are occasionally resurrected just when you thought it was gone for good. Sometimes I wish there was a ignore feature for threads, LOL, but I would probably still read them just to see the latest silliness
