Mobile site does not give the out of stock option for the 14500- that's why I though they were still available...

Makes sense.

I hate to say it, but I doubt more are coming since when they were listed new and they went out of stock, there was a notice that said they will no longer be producing the Temon. Unfortunate, but the blemished that were sold were probably the last of the run.

They generally say that on every run. It just may be a while.

Here's what they told me in an email when I asked about picking up just the tube for 14500. "I would like to inform you that we are already doing a research for a new battery holder, that is the reason that we won’t have a D16 battery holder for sale for a while." Sounds like something good coming down the pipeline...

I just hope they aren't going the route the Piccolo took, with the tapered body tube.

Well it it looks like 14*** mods are finally getting their due. Good and bad, more options (I saw OKC Vapes had the Pisces Mini the other day for example) and the bad is that more people want them so it drives demand and prices.

I have bought two from the classies, a G16 and a Sturm, for under retail including shipping.. I don't see that happening anymore.

Temon battery holder with cosmetic flaws - MMVapors

This is the complete mod. It comes with the tube, button, 510 connector and spare parts.

Ya that's why I think it's a great deal. I have learned to buy an extra spring kit when I buy a mod if possible. It's nice to have when ur thinking about cutting down ur stock spring just to have a replacement if .... goes haywire...

Comes with extra switch spring and clip, also replacement hot spring for the top connection. Snatch up the blem while you can- good buy and solid mod! You won't be disappointed!

In a way, I'd like to see the Chinese start coming out with 14500 tube mods, similar to these. I am a fan of 14500 size mods, and some of the mfgr's in China are getting pretty good at making mods. But everyone is busy making the fancy, it's got everything type mod. Just give me something that is nice looking, sleek, and plain, w/o all the grooves, tapers, or contours on the tube.

Just thought I would tell you guys how AMAZING the customer service and shipping are from MMV. I ordered my temon on Sunday night and holy smokes the UPS guy showed up at my door today... It surprised me so much that I thought it was something I had ordered from a different company (no names but an American company on the west coast). But no it was my temon from MMV! Unreal that shipping from Greece can be that fast. Great company cannot say enough good things about these people.

Off to go check out the temon ill update after I go play...

I'm glad to see more interest in these because the world needs pocketable APVs that take standard, available batteries. But you're right, I've seen a lot of people who would claw their way through broken glass to get to a G16 at retail.

<<< guilty. The G16 is my holy grail. I was so desperate for a 14xxx mod that I even debated buying a piccolo from another member who was the 3rd owner, mod was beat up and switch had been "modded" by the previous owner. Guy still wanted $110 for it. I'm in disbelief that these things are so hard to find at a reasonable price even after being used.

I'm going to pay a visit to my friend who owns a machine shop and see what he thinks about producing something. By the looks of it, he could do very well as long as he makes them in batches of 5 like every other mod maker.

I saw a used Piccolo V1 sell for $130. That's when the blem Temon became a lot more attractive.

Let us know what you're friend says. I've heard ridiculous machining costs for a mech mod on a CNC machine, so I'm curious.
