Way I see it the stuff in between fills the void until you can get yourself some gems ...like that mech above ^^^
Not all of it is shite though I don’t agree with that ...I reckon gear changes around a “bit” once a quarter or a good change once every 6-10 months
Lest we forget those just hitting the vape scene don’t care about the older stuff so they aren’t so washed out...there’s new vapers making the switch all the time and this transitional part of the market is really geared towards those people who want the latest gadge.
I’ve definitely noticed the speed of releases pick up massively even in past year at the same time transition over to vaping is equally picking up
I’d much rather companies spend time really beta testing their products and honing qualities - the end result of this though is increased development costs and higher retail pricing - then there’s the whole clone side which screws that for those companies...
although I will say this we are stuck with standards In vaping 510/810 for instance, partly because companies don’t want to risk to much change they know what sells and that people like using things they already have. Also people shy away if something is too different.
How long did/will 18650 stay the standard, we are slowly seeing a shift there now towards 20700/21700 that will become the norm at some point I expect.
Take TC mods there’s only so much you can do with a 510 connection, perhaps someone will make a dedicated mod with a tank to suit -completely different connection type, that can provide feedback from the atty itself ....it if they knock it out the park perhaps others follow suit and that becomes the norm too
I dunno end of the day you heat a coil and vape it so unless someone figures a way to make that process more efficient or a much better experience we are stuck will small incremental gains, just have to appreciated not everyone is long in the tooth with it and help steer them away from the shitty products out there
Until then I appreciate the artwork and quality of the custom mods and hope one day to own some of them
