If Arfsdad's information is relevant and helpful to you, it is, if it isn't, it isn't. Let's all chill here and get back to dreaming about the ascent. :peace:
7th Floor is an upstanding company(from what I see) with great products so I doubt they're trying to be underhanded here. Possible reasoning for the similar appearance could be, since that design is widely used, that it's cost effective and perfectly suited to their ideas for this vape.
All...
I suggest the Vapro. It has a small load size, heats up in about ~3min, is highly portable, and delivers satisfyingly tasty hits(very smooth too).

Have you turned it on yet? I'd go more by the heat up/ light time moreso than the cord length. I have a cloud+. It's an updated older model so it has a long cord.
I've been away from FC for far too long. I am unfortunately still working on that video :lol:....:uhoh:... Anyway, have this as an offering to tide you over til I can get it uploaded.
I'd like to think my senses are rather acute(not that I've had any testing done). With other vapes I can detect metallic tastes. Perhaps the torching of the screens(oxidation?) before use eliminated it. :shrug:
