Vape Gear Jealousy (I have it)

So I recently bought the Goon in black for my hubby as a gift. I knew he wanted it, and had been bummed after winning a giveaway in May (was NOT a VU Giveaway) and never hearing anything back. We are slowly learning other people who were also winners in this 'donate to enter' giveaway are in the same position. Granted it was just a juice line, I wanted to do something nice for him. I am not big on RDA's, but after using Advanced Vape Supply wire, I have been really liking the Tsunami and Velocity Mini while at home. I TRIED THE GOON AND I WANT IT SO BAD NOW. I wouldn't ever buy it for myself though. It was one of those splurge moments that won't be happening anytime soon. Does anyone else suffer from a case of 'Vape Gear Jealousy'?......I know I sure do. ☺

If you won and got stiffed, that is stuff we need to know about. Some vendors do that crap and it ain't kosher.

oh my gosh, no no, it was not a VU giveaway. I am gonna edit to make that clear now.
Just wanted to be sure, because we won't allow vendors to participate if it had been. Sorry about your experience, nonetheless.

And hell yeah, I get mod "envy". no pun intended.

I have this Goon clone and it's actually pretty good quality. And they have a bunch of different colors.

I think what I liked most about it is the thick delrin cap that comes with the black version. It feels more natural than the thin delrin I am used to with the Velocity. I am kind of wondering why only the black Goon comes with the thicker cap. But I will def check out the clone link, that seems like a much better choice for getting one for myself. Thanks for that :)

If you buy a clone while he has an authentic he will just keep reminding you that his is the real deal.

How about you buy the clone and replace it with his without him noticing, then tell him you got another authentic for yourself :D

Now seriously, the clone will most likely work just as good as the authentic.
If you don't mind the fact that it's a clone just buy it.
If it's as good as the authentic you both win, if not just throw it away and forget all about it, it's less then 8$ so no big deal.

In guitar-related forums, we refer to it as "GAS" - Guitar/Gear Acquisition Syndrome.
As in, "I'm GASsing hard for that new..." or "Just saw this new.......I've got GAS bad!"

I was also eye-balling the Stargate RDA on Eciggity (it's Tobeco) although I can't find many reviews on it. It looks neat though with Kennedy tubes and vertical clamps. It would just be one of those neat little novelty things.

Looks a lot like the Tsunami that you already have, besides the posts, that I don't see working any better then a velocity style deck.

Whew, thanks for that, that is what I tell myself everytime I go back and look at it. I needed to be talked out of it anyway.

Tobeco came out with a Goon clone? The pictures look like a wide bore too instead of a 510. I don't know of where it would be safe to order from though.
