When I started doing this I came up with a plan for myself. I spent countless hours watching you tube, late nights on forums and scouring online vendors looking and learning about their products. I decided I wasn't going to go broke on a monumental collection of mods and attys. So I decided, ok - 2 decent regulated devices, 2 decent mechs, necessary accessories (batteries, charger) and I'll play it by ear on the attys or tanks. I wasted some money on a few lousy tanks. With all the research it can still be a crap shoot but I got fairly lucky with what I ended up with. The bulk of my money is spent. Now I concentrate on the fine details such as wicks, coils, juice and honing my skills. The temptation to buy the next sexy device is still there but I try not to sinOh I totally hear you on that. I HATE buying something after watching countless reviews saying it's great and seeing amazing performance out of it, only to receive it and it just not work for me at all. I admit that a majority of that is error on my part, but god damnit dude, I want the fuckin' thing to work like it's supposed to!
The magma is a perfect example. I researched it for a while, watched tons of videos.. Get it. Set it up. Vape. Instantly pissed at it. Now I have to either sell it and lose money or risk destroying it by boring out the air holes. The thing is like trying to suck a golf ball through a garden hose for me. No idea why. No obstructions at all. Just not what I like. I wish there was a shop near me that let me test this shit out before I bought it.
(too much).
