I completely understand that it is entirely subjective and to some people, whatever they are happy with now, will be the pinnacle of vaping for them. That's fine but all I'm saying is that the technology is continuing to evolve no matter what.
I appear to be getting vilified for following and appreciating this curve so I'm just lightheartedly fighting my corner.
I don't believe I do just buy the next big thing on the market otherwise my collection of kit would be WAY bigger than it is now. Which happens to be 4 tanks, 3 drippers, 2 mods and 1 mech.
Considering the plethora of stuff out there this is a tiny amount. And has still cost me way less than if I was smoking 20 a day.

xs2man have you tried a Bellus or Aromamizer? These are a huge upgrade from the subtank. I thought I was more than satisfied with mine until I tried these! What does "huge upgrade" mean? If you mean you like it better, say why. Otherwise it's a meaningless phrase. Better airflow, airflow direct to the coils, decks that enable you to build dual coils, bigger juice capacity, top filling (in the case of the Bellus), velocity deck (Aromamizer). |

100% VG will be a thicker liquid which will always be a bit more of a struggle for your wicks. Especially when chain vaping.

Not tried a Cirius myself but I'm sure you'll notice the difference as these new generation tanks all outdo the subtank IMO. I find the draw on the subtank way too tight now which is weird as I was happy with it for so long!

Completely agree decoy I always do lots of research first and take the opinion of a few trusted reviewers before buying anything. All of my old/redundant kit gets sold or given away to fledgling vapers so it's all put to good use. |

WHen you mature a bit, you may find that you are able to decide what floats your boat. For me, it's a mouth to lung atomizer, and no more than 30W. So I've got 3 mods capable of 40W, and about 5 tanks. For the foreseeable, I'm done. Unless they invent a mod which has a nuclear fuel cell Referring to me there? I'm 30 with a mortgage and a baby. If I'm not mature by now I don't think I ever will be. Anyway it isn't about maturity. For the price of a couple of packets of fags you can buy a new piece of technology. And every time I've done this so far it has improved my vaping experience. |

Nope it's called progression. I imagine anyone who says otherwise was one if the people who were terrified when the TV digital switchover happened. Lol, I was far from terrified when the TV digital switchover happened - welcomed it with open arms  Just over a year ago, I bought a new TV recorder, with hard drive (my old one died after many years of use) The new one is brilliant & it turned my TV into a Smart TV, so no need to buy a new telly In my 7+ years of vaping, I've progressed a heck of a lot - lol there wasn't much available over 7 years ago I'm more than happy with what I'm using now - it's kept me off the fags to the point I enjoy vaping far more than smoking. By not smoking & not buying every new thing that comes out, I've saved a fortune. OK, I've more or less spent what I've saved - but on good things that will either save me more money or even give me a return I don't doubt that for a second. My point is it's unfair to accuse people of being magpies just because they buy the latest kit on the market. It's no different to any other technology. |

I agree catface26 - my vaping history is a bit older historically, but the same holds true; every purchase has been an upgrade. Ego Clearomiser and 650mah batteries. Spinner and Mini and Viva Novas Spinner (then Vamos) with Protanks Vamo with Kayfun Mech mods with Kayfuns and Taifuns First box mod iStick 20w - with above and Mini Nautilus Then Orchids, Goblins and MVP3s Which gets us up to date - see signature!! Well at least someone agrees with me.  |

It really isn't. All of those factors make a difference. And look at other things that are happening like the new Target 75 VTC kit. Which has a porous ceramic wick with the coil embedded inside. Supposedly the flavour is incredible. These things wouldn't happen if everyone never got any further than a Nautilus or Ego-T. Every other technology on the planet benefits from innovation so why should vaping be any different? No one is forcing anyone to do anything they don't want to here but if you were driving around in an Austin Maestro and someone offered you a go in a Tesla sports car, would you decline on the basis that your old car was still perfectly serviceable? Good old shinyitus  In my case it isn't this and I can prove it to you. Every time I've bought some new kit I haven't gone back to the old stuff. It's always been an upgrade in my eyes. Ten Motives cig-a-like > Ego-T > 20w istick and Nautilus > 20w istick and sub tank nano > 30w istick and sub tank nano > 30w istick and sub tank mini > 50w Sigelei and sub tank mini > Mechs and drippers > 50w Sigelei and Bellus > 75w Evic VTC Mini and Bellus That's as far as I've got so far and each increment has been an upgrade that has improved my vaping experience. Mechs and drippers are kind of a different story as although it is still the most superior method of vaping in terms of raw performance, the practicality of it means I usually only use this kind of kit in the evening. At this point I may well use a mixture of kit as I have an Aromamizer and a Smok TFV4 to collect from the post office but up until this point all of my old kit is redundant. |
