Hindsight is 20/20, to my shame I admit I did some of these same types of threads on other boards way back when I started smoking. But I quickly found that the most rewarding part of this hobby is going out and trying whatever catches your eye or you can get your hands on. No two palettes are the same so asking other people to lead you through the aisle and throw stuff in your shopping cart just bites you in the ass in the end. It's pretty much the same as handing your money to someone else and saying "here go buy what YOU like".

Now if there is a trend or something is really hot at the moment (ie Roma Craft is dominating discussion on this board ATM) by all means ask for more details. But don't ask to be lead blindly by others, take your money and go on the adventure yourself. There are enough threads already posted or reviews here and countless other websites?/YouTube channels where you can formulate a basic opinion on specific sticks or marcas. If you are really curious about a brand or something by all means ask for advice but posting weekly/daily polls on manufacturers is kind of useless to you and others. Not to sound harsh, hopefully as a new guy on here I do not get torn to shreds for posting this. This place is so much nicer and cheerful than other boards (cough CA cough) and threads like these cause friction and divide boards.

That's the way I see it anyways, sorry for ruffling anyone's feathers. I really do not want to step on anyone's toes. Before posting use the search function because usually you can find what you are looking for and then if you want to get more specific go ahead. Hopefully I don't get run out of town for posting my thoughts as I'm not a tenured member here.
