Starting out as a reviewer is an excellent background to work up to product design. This is true of most products since engineers usually lack a marketing background.
Hmm have to see Vapiing with Vics review on that comparison.
I started vaping and got off of cigs without knowing anything about vaping/ecigs.
I heard an ad on the radio about them! I know no one in my life that has used or ever used an ecig! Started with the Mistic Bridge Kit,some carts and Haus eliquid in 24 mgs and managed to quit my 30+ year cig habit! I gave myself two weeks to cut down set my quit date Dec 1, 2014 and the rest is history!
Well, not necessarily true. A hybrid mech mod with a coil under 0.1 ohms for someone who knows absolutely nothing about vaping probably is worse than smoking.

I don't say that just to be contrarian but dangerous to the ignorant mods and defective products can indeed be more dangerous than cigarettes.
Sorry in advance for what I am about to post since this is contrarian but I have to for amusement's sake. The one thing that would be more dangerous and destructive than all of that?

Sadly, people do shit like that just to be edgy especially on drug forums like Bluelight. I've seen a few threads where people experimented with getting high on epinephrine so they injected themselves with an EpiPen just to feel what synthetic adrenaline is like as a high.
Do they have more problems though? Think we should bear in mind volumes of sales here... Smok are arguably the largest brand, what percentage fail in comparison to other brands and their line ups? as Cromwell said earlier in this thread the data isnt published,but it stands to reason more “my smok mod doesn’t work” threads exists over other brands because of volume sold.
Based purely on the forums it would be easy to assume it’s hit or miss depending on which plant made the product, and with smok you’ll either get one that lasts for ages or one that craps out after a couple of months based on this forums feedback alone (hence the don’t recommend pot)...best people to ask would be the shops but they won’t be reliable because they want the sales, so all we got for now is user feedback on the forums and with that there will always be an element of group mentality.
If you were to run a poll of “is my smok mod still working after 3 months”, wonder what that result would be in here? in fact that might be a good starting point for a sample test
In my opinion ...Rapid expansion to keep up with demand and increasing the speed of release for new products ultimately impacts quality unless you gear up with sigma practacies first, but that doesn’t fit the business model of releasing new products every few months does it, shouldn’t that be a red flag?
Were the aliens always bad or have they become more problematic as time goes on? I dont remember seeing loads of issues when they first came out and plenty of people were recommending them (why wouldn’t they) ...... smok could barely keep up with sales of the mod for a time and we have since seen issues creep in....I’ve also seen plenty of V8 issue threads lately so views quickly change on a manufacturer
Let’s see what happens with the likes of smoant in a years time see how they are still doing
It isn't just this forum. It is every forum and Reddit which is necessary to aquire quantitative information when a company can sell products without having to publish empirical safety data that they would have been required to in the US and a whole lot more in the EU.Subjective sometimes but that’s more a I don’t like this product kind of thing which is what Teresa was saying earlier and just because person A doesnt like something doesnt mean person B won’t. This is where there is always heat around reviewers and who to trust and where the main bun fights in the forum occur
issues where users post picture evidence I’d say are a little more than just subjective and are the key posts ....they are the ones to truely keep an eye out for to see what the failure was and go from there
Exactly, currently complaining about the most. Trend bitching, it's nothing new. I haven't seen a great number of dangerous smok mods catching fire or blowing up. Shorted boards, failing chips etc sure. Nothing to warrant a recall, they've never made a recall - which is what this subsection of the forums is for. Actually yes, all those issues I pointed out with mods have happened presently aside from the reference to the istick autofiring issue. Many of which are documented right here on these forums.
Not when Jai Haze is reviewing them. He doesn't get all technical with ohm meters and calipers, his reviews are his experience/opinion and clearly stated. However he doesn't give a shit whose name is on it.
Why not? Both together means you have some hot shit.
Cromwell did link to a Reddit thread where there was real safety issues.Exactly, currently complaining about the most. Trend bitching, it's nothing new.

You can tell it's trend bitching though when for instance smok came out with their mag kit. Everyone clutched their chest and said oh muh god oh muh god, no smok, this is terrible. Now everyone's going to get shot cause they're vaping. Where was the outrage over the etaliens mod? How about the target pro? As a matter of fact I've seen people post pics of the ballistic mpv phil and comments were drooling all over it.. oh wow, that's a gorgeous mod. (photo for reference to the mpv)
So yea, the hate isn't geared toward anything in particular other than 'oh, smok bad'. Blatantly so.
About 8 feet away.
That must suck in bad weather.
It really isn't safe to keep a battery charger that close or on a table/shelf. You should get something that was specifically designed for a XXXFIRE charger charging XXXFIRE batteries to go on top of like below.
Ohh I do not use XXXFire batteries.It really isn't safe to keep a battery charger that close or on a table/shelf. You should get something that was specifically designed for a XXXFIRE charger charging XXXFIRE batteries to go on top of like below.
That rate of failure is an assumption. Had they made products in the US and far more so in the EU, these kind of assumptions wouldn't have to be made because there would be legal testing and reporting requirements.
FDA ENDS requirements.
Published on September 18 but they are in effect.
I guess it depends on how tight testing and reporting is defined. As if now, the laws are broad simply requiring inspection of facilities and explanations of process while the FDA does most if the data collection. This will tighten up unfortunately and reckless manufacturers are in part to blame.
