There is tons of outdated gear that still performs equal to gear released yesterday. Not sure what your mind set is but really no need to rush out and get the newest one either. Easy to save a few bucks that way when vendors have to move it cheaply simply to make room for the newest version.
Some people like to buy a clone and see if they like the product, before paying $70+ for the original.
But sometimes thatās just not an option, either a clone donāt exist or isnāt comparable. Some people might also not be able to afford either clone or original.
I base it on reviews, if Iām interested in something I read reviews here or watch the videos our ppl post. Rarely do I go by random YouTube reviews or reviews from people well known but friends with said person.
Then most of the times you can catch a sale on these items, mostly after a month itās being released - give or take. Or upcoming holiday sale, by then even more people might have tried it here on Elr and can give their opinion etc.
So unless itās a product thatās kinda rare or limited, or you not need/want right at releaese, always better to wait. Otherwise as you just mentioned you might buy hundreds of products and might not like any of them. But if that happens letās say with a $3-15 item, you might be less angry at yourself
Rare & limited donāt interest me. Good quality does. In my business Iāve found that on certain things it NOT worth using cheap junk that fails or becomes a safety hazard. I would never send my customers down the road with stuff thatās going to fail in short order or worse yet be hazardous. I myself also prefer not to use equipment that might say, blow up in my face
That said, cause I have zero experience with RDA, I couldnāt point out good vs. junk, or inflated price vs. Smoking good dealā¦
Soo glad to get so much help & advise here!
One of my favorites for flavor is the Twisted Messes TM24 Pro. Simple and sturdy build deck, the atty is more compact and I always get outstanding flavor out of it, whether I use kanthal claptons or ss fused claptons. One of my frequent go-to attys.
Recurve RDA.
