Thought it would be interesting if members can think of any "White Elephant" vaping products as in products that manufacturers released with high expectations that flopped!
I will start the ball rolling with my candidate the Kangertech five6
Kangertech released this with a fanfare promoting it's mega battery life as it accommodated 5 (yes 5) 18650's and could also be used as a power bank!
But this also came with a special tank, coils and software included with the chip to make the magic happen. The tank accommodated Tiger coils which had triple coil heads and the device could be set to just fire one coil, two coils or all three, innovative stuff and all round you have to hand it to Kangertech for the effort, but it was always going to flop, but why?
Well i won one and not only is this far too big to carry around even as a desktop mod you needed a big hand to get round it, this wasn't a brick it was a breeze block! Also 5 batteries might give huge capacity but when the batteries ran down until charged that's 5 batteries out of action!
The next problem was the high tech tank which could only work with the five6 and firing different amounts of coils at different times meant each coil in the head wore out at different rates, only one coil was included and when it came time to needing another coil they were so expensive it was a case of, i don't think so!!!!!!!!
