Hell all. I'm new here. I bought a Kanger TOPBOX over a year ago, and it is my only device. I got it to help me quit cigarettes, but it took some time before I was ready to turn my back on the wacky tobaccy. Now that I have demonstrated to myself that I don't need smoke in my life, I'm ready to expand my knowledge and power. I am attending my very first vape convention, World Vapor Expo. I have heard that there is a chance to meet a lot of people, learn a lot about the culture, and get new hardware and juices at slightly better than online prices. I've narrowed my choice for an upgrade to 3 devices and have been doing probably way too much research and YouTubing for my own good. I'd like to hear from some people their thoughts on the devices that have captured my attention. I am apologizing now for this post being long - I like to try to be thorough. The 3 are the Smok Alien, the Smok Procolor, and the Vaporesso Revenger.
I'll start with the Alien. This mod has a great deal of information available, and based on that, I like what I see. I like the form factor, the information on the screen, etc. It looks appealing. Plus it's been out for quite a while so a lot of the kinks have been worked out. All in all, it seems to be a very solid mod...provided you don't get one that craps out on you. I hear the customer service is pretty awful at times. I wanted this one so bad until...
The Procolor, which might as well be the Alien 2.0. Size, specs all seem nearly identical to the Alien. That new interface though is FREAKING GORGEOUS. It's so clean, streamlined, organic looking with just a hint of personalization. Speaking of personalization, how about that shield LED?!?! All in all, the mod looks breathtaking with the guts of an Alien. The main downside for me is the price as it just came out (probably the most expensive out of the 3). Also, it's going to take some time to find and squash any bugs with firmware upgrades. Personally, I think Smok missed a good opportunity by not including the new X-Baby tank over the Baby Beast; not a dealbreaker, but it's something I did notice. This is probably the one I am most leaning towards.
A late game contender, I'm impressed with what I have read and watched about the Vaporesso Revenger. It's very sleek and sexy and is probably way more advanced than I need at this point (what the hell are custom power curves?!?). I do like the fact that the menus are navigated without the fire button though. I'm hoping that the rainbow color one is at the convention so I can see it in person because it is seriously one of the most strikingly gorgeous devices I have ever seen in pictures. To paraphrase Ricky Bobby, that thing is prettier than looking up Salma Hayek's skirt. I kinda don't like the centered 510 though.
That covers the important stuff I guess. I'd really like to hear people's thoughts, experiences, etc. I thank you for reading this, and I hope that I at least made it entertaining enough for you to endure.
