What has the actually lived up to the hype for you?

[elvira]

What is a device, juice, tank or anything really which has lived up to the hype for you? For me the Smok TFV4 and tfv4 mini totally deserves its praise.

While on the same topic, what has totally not lived up to the hype for you?

 

[Petrus]

That is quite an interesting question. It all depends on time and experience. When I started my vaping journey my twisp was a winner with all the leaks and dry hits included. When I got my kanger subox mini kit, wow, a totally different experience. Then the D2 and Billow V2, unbelievable like driving a Mercedes for the first time. Now I have my Reo Grand.....I am happy.... got it!
Same with coil building start off with the subtank RBA base and so have the journey progresses to bigger and better. Juice is a different ball game. Some vapers still prefer Twisp or Liqua juices. That is definitely personal choice.
Enjoy your vaping day.

Subox Mini Kit

Consistency!

Not lived up to the hype:

Tooo much........
Temp control - only becomes evident once you have bought a device that temp control is far from sorted.
Billow V2

Motivation from a personal aspect - Simplicity, consistency, re-coil, wick, fill and go. Not to spend hours tweaking something 100% in order for it to work

Kayfun v4- crap? No no no. Maybe you had a bad clone which led to those issues you described but any original or decent clone that is wicked correctly will give you zero leaks, zero dry hits and buckets of flavour flav.

[Va-poor]

Three companies in general have lived up to the hype for me.

-Sigelei
The 100w and 150w are flawless.

-Youde
The goblin v1.2 (with kayfun v4 tank) and Goliath v2 are easy to build and perform perfectly.

-Skyblue
I don't think a description why is even necessary
