You named a few for me.
What I find VERY different is the fact that my SSV can be approached easily from any angle including from below....
I also find even MORE different the fact that my SSV has been on for 3 years non stop.
I have left it at full temp for weeks on end as well..
Always ready.
Yes... yes... I know
I can build a clamp and a stand to hold my LSV as I want it.... and stabilize it on a desk.
Oh... there is one difference you and I both did not point out...
The SSV is a desktop vape
The LSV is a handheld vape
I too have juggled pieces and parts to entertain readers.....
But the vapes are not the same.
OK this is the point i was trying to make,
If you own an SSV already, what advantage would an LSV be if all i need to do is change the HC on the SSV and pick up invert and voila, same functionality,
I still believe that. If the LSV had some kind of a stand then the same holds true for it.
So i if I had one or the other I could make the functionality as far as hit quality and quantity virtually the same.
I use my SSV as a handheld unit sometimes, it is not so cumbersome that I would rather shell out an extra $175 for an LSV when I can use my SSV the same as the LSV by swapping heater covers.
& basically purely from a vapor Quality & Quantity standpoint I can't see the advantage to adding the LSV to my arsenal.
But that is just my opinion, and I dont have a lot of dough,
after house , car & bill payments so for me it wouldn't make sense for me to buy both.
And I just want to make some of the newbies to vaping that the SSV can have a dual functionality so to speak, and that it can do it all, it is actually not that hard to use the SSV as a handheld, only if the top was threaded and I could add an enclosure similar to the LSV but built to fit on top of the SSV,
OK im too high i think to be debating , but if money is an issue buy the SSV.
OMG sorry to ramble on
