What's considered high end?

[The Cromwell]

IMHO if cheap gear works just like high end gear and lasts well there is only the price or status difference.

Been daily vaping with the same kbox mini with the same STM on top for over 3 years.
bottom fill and the threads in the mod and on the tank still good.
Using the same Pico squeeze with Wasp Nano for well over a year.


I vape to stay off of cigs not to be cool.

Good for you if you like the status of expensive gear, just not how I roll.

 

[DonBaldy]

There is cheap ultem gear. Like omier wasp nano. Mods too

Glad they are so cheap because they work and even with my limited budget I can afford several of them.

I want ultem batteries!

 

[MannyScoot]

The only positive about Ultem 1000.....

Ultem resins are used in medical and chemical instrumentation due to their heat resistance, solvent resistance and flame resistance.

Mods made with Ultem 1000 (standard, unfilled polyetherimide) have a high dielectric strength, inherent flame resistance and are considered one of the lightest high strength materials on the planet .......

What's next titanium mods?

No Titanium weighs too much ....For a mod....

 

[The Cromwell]

Depends on the mod. It is lighter than the zinc alloy and SS used in many mods.

On a related note. I used to really enjoy geekay vapes YouTube channel. He was as excited to get a 30 dollar mod from ft as he was a high end mod.

He's gone all elitist. Even started a FB page for high end gear.

I like HE gear too, but dontd shit on cheaper stuff.

 

[The Cromwell]

Again just my opinion but high end gear is often just high end because of limited availability.

I will NEVER go to FB and try to win an opportunity to buy an over priced piece of vape equipment.
Just how I roll. And does not fit everyone.

If you enjoy the chase then have at it.

I have watched the metamorphosis of many vape reviewers over the years.
goes from a hobby and service to a profession.

Also fine for them if they want to go that way.

They all lose value.

I remember when the saying was that you'll never lose money on a REO

Some hold for years, some months, some until next fad hits weeks later

Not this one..... I read on the materials and it says aircraft 1100 aluminum enclosed in a 1000 Ultem enclosure..... Titanium buttons and 510

The selling price was $250.00 and they made 200 in Berlin Germany

it's not the stock market, it is a stop smoking aid

things tend to drop suddenly and for no apparent reason. Happens to everything

that'll likely half its price when 75c is superseded, lower once hybrids are out of fashion again

just enjoy it, don't think about expenditure

Same principle applies.

 

[The Cromwell]

There are those still seeking and those of us who have found what we want,
I was a vape seeker for a couple of years.
I owe a lot of my vaping satisfaction to fine people on here with some special notice to Lucy.
I also owe some to vape reviewers and some purchases that failed to fulfill my search parameters.
Which were in flux for my first couple of years or so.
I had to figure out what I wanted out of vaping aside from just staying off of cigs.
Not saying I will never try any new vape things but not searching for them either.

 

[The Cromwell]

Same principle applies.

Yep there is always a latest and greatest.
It is a main part of Marketing and sales of products of all types.

that is about 6 weeks worth of cigs here considering around a carton a week.

Say what you will about over priced, but if I had the funds I would have gotten a stabwood VA Vanguard. As it is, the non stabwood version was expensive enough and hard to find at that.

after much buying, selling, donating etc. This is what i have settled on



tmod duallies kept for vapergeddon

other 2 are dna75d (new name for non colour board) and dna200d, and price dropping like mad. avg of 500 usd in each, probably range 50 (tmods) to 150 (bam) now

they work for me though :shrug:

That is the thing. Get what you want if you can.
But one should feel no pressure to do it aside from their own desires.

Since my Golem is Serial #002 and now they are only made to order I wonder what the current price is.

I know The Golem.... Nice mod..... Ilike the battery tray straight (3) 18650....

Solid mod Stainless Steel very futuristic...... Ah and the battery door bad ass... door is amazing and unique
.... High quality leather.....

It's a new company but what I couldn't get used to was the weight..... 250 grams which is not bad .... But add three batteries and a 24mm Tank.... And it's up there....

It's a mod to keep on your desk and wow people..... Very Gothic and space futuristic look......

I think you will get $500 to $750 for it .... For the right guy.... Maybe More

You need big Hands and like big mods ...

Is there a Golem Facebook group..... Because someone can be looking for it..... They are hard to find since they are UK or Ireland manufactured......

They are unique...... Definitely.... The company is big, they produce airplane parts.....

Keep it if you like it..... And wait this one ain't dropping in price.......

He shows a love and passion and all mods are perfect.... And has a rediculous amount of squonker mods...

He loves his Vapedroid X1C2 in yellow Ultem too.... He shows it in several videos and puts it away back in the box...

Maybe that's what helps him on YouTube l, talking about how expensive they are ...

He is from Malaysia......
