I switched from cigarettes to vaping in 2016 -- after trying and failing multiple times through an eGo stage -- once box mods had evolved to the point of being reliable and delivering a satisfying hit. That mod worked until 2023.
I've since had three fail, and you don't want to spend $100 (when it's not Black Friday and your mod dies, that's the going rate at local vape shops, since I guess the margin on a single-18650 mod isn't good enough) to be able to use your remaining $12 of juice when a disposable that lasts for a few weeks runs $20.
As such, I've been using disposables for several months now. I don't like this transition given the waste and danger involved, but nicotine addiction is a bitch.
I've been vaping since around 2012 and ran through a ton of disappointing eGo clones and mods and got a GeekVape Zeus about a year or two ago and it's been rock solid. It is a dual battery but that just means it lasts a day or more depending on how often you're using it.
