well, I am a bit of a procrastinator , so maybe that's good. I don't "need" one right now. but I know I must have one.

It's a good charger for what it is, but you'll get frustrated with that i2.

like cars, is there a time of the year when most new mods come out ?

I am figuring not, but asking anyway = never know.

I know 1 sure way of getting a bunch of new releases = me to buy my next one.

Quarterly cycles I reckon jinx’d you’ll get some stuff now from the final December developments next up is April, August, November and some stragglers in between

yeah. I am seeing some new stuff now. I am still very new at this. but seems to me new stuff comes out when new stuff comes out.
no rhyme, no reason.

Actually it comes down to China.

There is no actual time new mods come out. When a company thinks it has the next big thing it's out the door because vaping always has an uncertain future in their eyes. They want to make as much as they can as fast as they can. It was so bad at one point mods were leaving China broken and some even exploded because the battery packs weren't secured. .

Just try not to buy about a week before and a week after the Chinese New Year (Fed 5th). All stock that comes from China within roughly a week of that holiday tends to have a lot more defects. Then right after that they tend to fire the entire work staff and hire brand new workers so they don't have have to pay as much. This is why you wait a week after they are hired - let them make mistakes on someone else's mod.

This goes for everything coming out of China not just Vape gear.

Hope it helped ;)

This is new this year. I just finished it last night. Box, button and mounts are all made from crushed amethyst (resin bonded)

We NEED food, oxygen, shelter, and water. All else is a want.

AS to the current need, there seems to me no rhyme or reason as to the timing of release of new vape gear. If you'rre not seeing anything that catches you eye wait 5 minutes there will be 100 more new things.
