I was searching online yesterday and did see that their sales are usually only 20% with that one exception, but at this point we're close enough to 4/20 that it just seems irresponsible not to wait and see.
As for potential savings in the meantime: I'm lucky enough to have a free source. I smoked from 8th-10th grade as a kid, semi-often in college, and since then basically whenever my friends passed me a joint. Recently, though, a friend who grows (it's legal here) told me that he 's growing far more than he could ever use and that he'd happily keep me stocked. So while a vape's efficiency is definitely one of the big draws for me, it's not for economic reasons. More that I'm an extreme lightweight and simply don't need anything which packs more than a few hits.
My fiance is a nurse who'd barely ever smoked throughout her life but has been loving it lately as it helps her sleep consistently when she's scrambling between 12-hour day and night shifts. I'm definitely less into it and have only smoked on my own once so far, but I'll typically smoke with her when she does. The problem is: both of us hate the actual act of smoking.
I started doing research into vapes (I've only ever used a few, probably cheap, desktops at friend's places in the past) and was dismayed by how poorly built they seem to be across the field. Even the Crafty/Mighty that seem to have the widest popular support are ugly, made of plastic, and people boast that "mine has lasted
2-3 years already!" I grew up doing a lot of carpentry; I appreciate craftsmanship and when I buy something I want it to last. This is why the Vapcaps immediately leapt out at me when I learned of them. The butane requirement bothers me as being wasteful, but it seems the lesser of two evils when the other is buying a whole new electronic device every few years.
Anyway, don't know why I just explained all that! Thanks for the kind welcomes!
