Will clearos, cartos eventually become obsolete?

So???? :)

overtaken by Yankees

Ummm... and here I thought I just joined a vaping forum. "Yankee?" I'm old but not that old. I wasn't around during the Civil War. But, you can call me a "Yank." I think the Aussies started that one and since I'm a Vet its fine with me.

I do beg your pardon, Ma'am. :)

Where I come from it's referred to as "The Recent Unpleasantness." :D

Oh, ECF...

No. As many have said, cartos, carto tanks, and clearos aren't going anywhere anytime soon. What many newer posters don't realize is that RBAs/RDA's came on the scene only a year ago. Vaping is a constantly evolving beast, and you and I as posters here represent the vast minority of vapers. The majority of vapers use ego-style batteries with clearomizers.

To look down on anyone who is desperate to quit smoking because of the gear they use means you don't get it.

RDA's and RBA's are perfect for those who are into that sort of thing. But many want ease of use. "Ease of use" can mean many things to many people, but rebuildables is not the end game for all vapers. To make such an umbrella statement is erroneous.

The majority of vapers that you see Rocketpunk use ego-style batteries with clearomizers. That's not a complete picture though. These are the people who buy their vape gear from a vape shop. Disposables are still the biggest seller in the US and I suspect the world.

I totally agree that vaping is changing fast right now. This discussion could be meaningless once someone develops something new that obsoletes current hardware, though I don't see anything on the horizon right now. It could happen fast though.

No, I think clearos are here to stay .. Clearos/cartos are perfect for beginners, and those who don't like tinkering, and rebuilding. Dripping is not the ideal for everyone, and I began vaping as a "dripper" (shout out to the ole 510 atty), then I went on to Kanger bottom coil cartomizers, and much preferred them to dripping.

For the almost three years that I have been vaping I have used cartomizers most of that time, and I didn't care to try clearomizers until the Protank glassomizers came out, and even then, I only used those for about 2 1/2 months before I went on to RBA's, which is what I now prefer.

I do still drip on occasion, but it could never be my full time gig. I dig the Reo concept, but I am not into box mods ... IMO, Genesis style atomizers offer better/purer flavor than dripping does.

Yeah, I guess you're right, I didn't really factor in cigalikes.

Soy un hombre muy honrado
Que me gusta lo mejor
Las mujeres no mi faltan
ni el dinero ni lamore!

I butchered that one, but that's what the opening lines to the Antonio Banderas song from Desperado sound like to me. ;-)

:laugh: Dices la verdad hermano, and its close enough! Estas un hombre muy honrado, y mi amigo tambien .. And believe me, my spanglish would get the side eye in Puerto Rico :laugh:
