Addendum
I am not one to crow about the fact that I've paid ten times more for a mod than someone else, I don't believe it makes me a better person or sexually well-endowed. The fact that I have the cock of a new-born baby and am less worthy than some bint with tits in a Big Brother house does not mean I over-compensate with expensive goods.
I was explaining earlier that having a new Harley Davidson doesn't make you ten times a better rider than the person on a second-hand Honda. The bike doesn't go faster, it doesn't corner better so how the hell is it "worth" ten times more.
Worth is a subjective thing, it's only relevant to the person buying the thing. I got a huge level of enjoyment from the Hog I never dreamed of being able to afford but what I did expect was ten times the level of service I'd have got from the second-hand Honda dealer. Stratstone Harley in Wolverhampton suck balls. Huge, great, sweaty donkey balls.
So, having bought a Panzer and a Biomech from Midlands Vaping for ten times what I could buy a clone Nemesis from the Far East for, the analogy holds. Should something have gone wrong with them already I'd be expecting the level of service comparable with a high-end device.
But nothing has gone wrong.
"
So, Mawsley,
you daft twat" you cry "
why the fudge are you bothering to write more drivel on this forum?"
This is why: since buying the mods the guys at Midlands Vaping have remained in contact on Facebook. They've been clicking likes to my pictures of cats (if I'd posted pictures of cats, which I haven't because cats suck bigger, sweatier donkey balls than Stratstone Harley in Wolverhampton) and have frequently asked how it's all going.
They've taken an interest in the customer, in this case me, after the sale has been and done and gone even though they've already spent my money on mint humbugs and alcopops. They've offered wicking tips for cloud chasing and they've continued to prove themselves to be absolute bloody stars in other ways too. Ten times better than FastTech? Yes, and then times that number by another ten.
At least.
My first post was from the perspective of someone leading up to buying, this one comes from everything being over and done with. The result of which is that it's not over and done with.
Midlands Vaping have absolutely, categorically, unequivocally guaranteed me as an ongoing customer. On Saturday I'll be climbing into the car and travelling the 60 miles to the Black Country to go visit them at the open shop vape meet.
I struggle to comprehend how any vendor could have done more for me than they have over the last month beyond arriving at the house to coil my attys and fill the tanks for me.
Andy, Jay, this is me saying thank you very much. And that my Ithaka is running low on Pow Wow Sauce so if you could sort it out before the morning...
