Or wait a bit & get d same πŸ†• gear 4 fraction of the cost? /ie. $30 πŸ€” 2018/03 combo: ❛ Venus ❜ #RDA (Stage Vape) ΰΉ‘ #Hotcig's ❛ G177 ❜ mod. Some (most!) #vapeGear πŸ‡©β€ŒπŸ‡΄β€ŒπŸ‡ͺβ€ŒπŸ‡Έβ€ŒπŸ‡³β€Œ'πŸ‡Ήβ€Œ "deteriorate" over time! Except cosmetics: (natural!) chips 'n' scratches. Accidental drops' n breakages, aside. I actively use gear MUCH OLDER than this, last year' setup. Add +5 (++) years older. And I still adore them! And could EASILY live just with them. So.. No rush. When buying. The πŸ†•er isn't necessarily better. πŸ†•eST is, dead sure, most expensive. And no two ways about it, price (newest models) ALWAYS goes down, over (short period of) time. 6 months short. Or long? Who's to "blame"? Overabundant production βž• Vape Industry rivalry Every coin πŸ‘† has two sides. Those are GOOD for us: that rivalry & over production leads to price drops. But it's also: BAD. /ie. stimulates #hoarding, unfortunately! It's also good for hardware makers BC they always have something πŸ†• to promote & sell/compete, but equally bad for them too: In the pool of ENDLESS CHOICES you...CONFUSE CUSTOMERS. Instead of focusing on, let's say 3⃣ (truly innovative!) products per year, many of them do 3 per month. 🀨 At that pace ('do or die' race πŸ˜‚), they harm themselves in many ways. I can as well say that "newer" isn't quite necessary. EXCEPTIONAL devices are already there, made (for us) in the past. I actually ADMIRE those vapers who stick to their combo(s.) = 1⃣, 2⃣, 3⃣ sets (mod & #atty), even if they're 5+ years old. They found their sweet, old setup. They knew what they wanted. Got it & stick to it. & That's - PERFECTLY FINE. They DON'T (wanna) spend πŸ’΅ on latest (not always greatest.)... Or want, but... Patiently, smart. Not immediately. To end this, just be: PATIENT Spend ur hard earned πŸ’Ά on carefully selected items. Think 5(!) times BEFORE you hit that "Add to πŸ›’ cart" then "Checkout" buttons. I, first, AM impulsive buyer. Wanna *try* EVERYTHING. #VapeGiveaways aren't solution for that. And solution exists. My BEST solution is - your (my) REAL LIFE (local) vape fam! = Exchanges? βœ”οΈ Swaps? βœ”οΈ Test runs? βœ”οΈ Try... Before you buy. ## Stats - **Views:** 0 - **Likes:** 1,758 - **Shares:** 0 - **Comments:** 22 ## Tags hoarding, atty, hotcig, vapegiveaways, vapegear, rda --- Copyright (c) Gondola
