I think, those who started vaping in 2013-14 (or before) straight or almost straight on mech mods and rebuildables (for lack of many other options, especially if you were in Europe), and used all the 18xxx range, could find - quite clearly - that even 18350-18500 cells have improved
some since. Not as much as we would've wished, but some, definitely.
...Don't get anything twisted...
I don't think Hiko did. Neither did others here. Hmm...Did you notice that even in this thread, almost everyone was quasi accused by you of misunderstanding or twisting around your words?
What really blown up this thread was my very first phrase in post #8. Simple as that. Still I haven't got the clue what I misunderstood (or because I cited only one sentence of yours, what made it "out of context"?) But never mind, probably I'll never know lol! (at least you didn't manage to tell me)
From that point, anything I was trying to say was considered as a rant, etc. as an attack for your person by you, it seemed.
What on the earth I took "as a personal attack" in the Stratum discussion I won't ever know either. One likes or dislikes some gear, it's really up to anyone's personal taste. But true, I found some little details slightly "annoying" in that discussion, and it wasn't the first time.
Just one, I can suddenly recall, you insisted calling a $40+ mod a cheap disposable gear, might be for you and many but far from for everyone.
(oh if we can avoid it now, please, don't start a debate on who can afford what, and so on, blah blah, it's not the point. It was just one of your "statements" from great many, a lot wouldn't be ready to share. Finally, we are on an international cheap chinese gadget forum, but we are here for different reasons...)
Funniest part, you remind me to that $1.20. ROFL.
In nearly 9 years it was the first and only time I asked for borrowing some RP for the reason that I could gift the right amount to someone for a certain item. which I returned to you in 2 weeks or so (Search, if you've never noticed it. Even thanked it to you in a post)
Now please, just forget about my name, my existence, find someone else for discharging your imbalances, go on with all the rest, I wish you good luck in life. =)
