He's probably referring more to people who don't know anything BUT khantal. To those purposely searching for khantal than it already falls into personal preference, which is relatively subjective already. Horses for courses.
I mean, I personally prefer SS for ANY juice, simply as I TC everything (and hate the taste of Ni or Ti), and adjust burn properties (preheat, temp etc) to suit juice being used and that's already good enough for me.
Even my drippers as TC helps tone down the devils underbush.
I don't think he was "looking down" or anything at khantal users per se really. He was just genuinely wondering why more sellers aren't stocking SS methinks.
And the reason is probably like I said previously, not a lot of people are bothering to teach about SS, and not a lot of people are bothered to learn lol. Enthusiast Vapers are still not the norm, most are simply Vaping due to ciggies naik harga and thus couldn't be bothered to explore new things.
In defence of real hard-core Enthusiast Vapers, they burn a LOT of different wires lol: Ni-Fe, Nichrome, different grades of SS, Khantal, Ni, Ti... as in reality different wire burns differently and are thus suited better for different flavours.
Myself, I'm more convenience based. A mass-market Hobbyist if you may. 316L SS cukup edi lol coz it's easier that way. Not that I haven't tried the rest, but I'm sticking to 316 and TC simply out of convenience.
Hence probably why I've been ADVing the same juice for nearly a year now. It's already "good enough" in my book already lol.
u are right, bro. Locally, it's very hard to get SS in the first place. That crossed my mind on what's the main reason behind it? Few years back, when I started exploring SS, it's real hard to find SS in the market. These days, it happened recently when my bro in law in Malacca couldn't even find a single shop that stocked SS... So, I am not at all "looking down" on khantal users.. But, ever since I moved into TC (again, no way back too), I really think SS is the best choice available. My bad... maybe I used the wrong words previously. No problem, small issue.. End of the day, khantal or SS.. let's enjoy and vape on.
