This truly makes NO SENSE and for the first time in years I am completely outraged. I have been a vaper since day one; and I have been a reader (not much of a poster) of this forum since its inception. This industry is upside-down. When "e-cigs" first arrived on American soil, the manufacturers and marketers tried to go the cig-a-like route. That did not work; technology was not up to par and could not support it. The market then shifted. It started with larger batteries, then mods, variable voltage, etc. etc. . . You know what? I have literally and VERY honestly spoken to AT THE VERY LEAST one hundred smokers about the e-cig/PV market. All but one was for these huge devices. Smoking is an addiction that is mostly mental. The physical withdrawal part of it is not even that bad; and this is very well known. And so, when I cigarette smoker wants to live, they want a light, small, effective device -- a device pretty much exactly like the eRoll. I want to hold the ecig between my teeth or lips for minutes or longer; I want to put it behind my ear like I do a regular cigarette; I want to drive with it hanging out of my mouth. I may not be a market analyst, but I do presume to think this may be in part at least a problem of a very vocal minority directing the state of affairs. In other words, the momentum I have seen on this forum has driven the industry to places where it otherwise may not have gone.
These "large" imposing PV's do not accommodate any of these needs I mentioned above. The ONLY thing large PV devices deliver is nicotine to the lungs, and flavor.
I am absolutely livid. I also just spent 1000k on eRoll parts, hoping that will last me until something better comes along.
