Not embarrassed - No fanboi either- I use many different vendors in the US and I have bought some batteries from many of them, but would definitely never buy my batteries from China.
I am not a man either.
Not trying to insult you- it is hard to buy your dream hardware when money is tight, right! I know as I would love to own a custom stabwood- way out of my price range- but I do have gear and batteries that I can afford and am very happy with my vape gear and eliquids- coming up on 3 years cigarette free after a 30 year cigarette love affair. Ecigarettes and Will Power!
I have the Smoant Battlestar and I think you will love it, I do- I don't know anything about the Vapefly Nicolas as I am a DL vaper, my favorite tank at the moment is the Asvape Cobra.
I wish you nothing but the best luck on your quest to finally quit cigarettes by vaping!
Fanboi is pretty much gender neutral since fangirl isn't really used as a term. If it isn't fangirl?ism then is it just a mean girls click in here?
Why can't you take my word that money isn't the issue at least longer term? I am by no means well off but normally I would be able to afford a DNA 250 if I wanted one but I don't at first because it is a waste of money for someone who doesn't have the knowledge and experience to benefit from it. I need a replacement phone that will cost at least $350 (LG V20) on top of an unplanned personal expense that costs a whole lot more has set me back a month so why not use the time to learn as much as I can until I am ready? The Battlestar, like the V20, isn't the cheapest but far from the most expensive. Both are simply what works best for me. I learned my lesson buying two flagship phones (Sony Xperia Z Ultra) [in cash] on the first day of sale that don't have removable batteries. I am trying to avoid the same type of mistake with vaping gear is all.
Buying the latest vaping gear seems like a worse mistake than buying the latest Microsoft Windows Operating System when newly released to me. The Battlestar is a time proven winner -- simple, durable, and does the job even TC when I learn enough to make use of it.
I am trying to build the closest thing to an absolute minimum adjustment setup. The Vapefly Nicolas is no doubt the atty for that. I guess a Pico would be the best single battery mod but battery power not lasting all day is more adjustment at first carrying an extra battery safely so the Battlestar will do as a rich (wo)man's Pico. They cost barely more than Pico's in some places.
The juice is the last thing I am trying to perfect as the closest thing to a perfect smoking emulator setup. Perfect in vape gear world. -- LOL. I am probably the closest thing to the perfect lab monkey for this experiment in finding that stubborn archetypal smoker who wants the absolute minimum adjustment at first yet eager to learn as much as possible while having temporary money problems that will force me to wait until at least Black Friday.
For experiment's sake more than mine, I hope I can get some support and feedback on this project. I just got to get the juice that is absolutely closest to smoking is all.
