Hence, my original (but long winded) question. Is this the norm to be expected? Is it customer based failure, mfr of sub-standard equipment/knock offs etc...
These answers are important to me, in order to properly evaluate my future needs. e.g ordering what was recommended + 20% didn't see me thru to the 2nd shipment. Result, analogs until shipment arrives. Now I am much much wiser... educated on these forums. I want to go smoke free, in order to do that, I need to have enough equipment/juice so I don't get my nic fix some place else. Being from Canada, it has not been easy. Now that I have reliable sources for product I should be fine with what is coming in the next couple of weeks, to weane we off completly from analogs
