Absolutely.....if one can't afford it that's one thing, but that shouldn't excuse the fact that what they are selling is the exact mod that someone else came up with and worked very hard to perfect ...... I understand what you're saying, but I think you have to consider that it will last FOREVER .... Its bullet proof!
this owl looks plastic and cheap.... Well obviously $22......
I can't afford to buy a Dyson vacuum cleaner but I understand due to the way it's built that I will probably never need to buy another one ...... So while $187.00 is pricey, Its relative........ and an investment. I've been through at least 5 ego batteries, 1 LEO..... 4 itaste vv Bats...... in the time I've owned these reos...... Egos are or were $18-20 for an authentic?.............and yes I'm hard on my equipment but that's exactly my point. I guess buying this owl b/f would be the equivalent of buying an ego battery.... In that, I see it breaking or failing and having to treat it like a disposable.
