I noticed that, and it sort of bothers me. They had the red 40w for $149 yesterday afternoon, but it (they) got gone fast. The 60w were $159. I was trying to talk myself into buying one for my upcoming vapeversary, but seeing that the new distributor jacked the price $10 with the notice to get em while you can, I'm not so sure now.

Really, you can't blame them. They're in business to make money. But, that was already much more than I want to spend on a single device, and the abrupt $10 price hike could be a deal breaker for me. Lets see: A $169 radius or eight $21 Picos from Rocky Mountain Vapors. Or, maybe five Picos and five Mega One V2s and still save $10? I suspect the radius would lose out if it came down to those choices.
I understand your logic, however I love the Radius. I couldn't resist the chance to get one more for much less than I paid for my previous one. I looked on eBay last night and they had the Cabernet in bronze for $399.95! I didn't regret my order at all when I saw that.

Yep. I understand that completely. It's just a lot of money for me to spend on one device. I've taken the cheapskate route on stocking up. I do have six of the Provari 2.5s that I got for $29.99 each, and I have several Picos, Evic VTC Minis and Zmax in addition to a few other odds 'n ends, including a subtank mini and about eight internal battery mods. So, anything I get at this point is pretty much just for the fun of it. I still might jump on a Radius but not sure.

Like you I was a little miffed at the price increase, but even at $169 they are still less that what I paid for my 40w versions.

I too will probably buy a few more Picos to put in my back up/PIF box. I've already got enough PT2's, and coils, to get several people started. Should they so desire. ;)

I assume the RMV code still works. Was it TURKEY ?

Yep, and it was still working a couple days ago. There's a big banner on the home page.

My last vape order was on August 10 (Fasttech, $30). Exactly half a year ago. A humble celebration is planned for today.

Do not see anything on a market that can be interesting for me. So, no new purchases at least in a near future. I had spent about $300 on stock piling and have enough for many years. Only some new things, something like Pico or Kayfun 5 were a year or so ago, can seduce me.

EDIT: "Last vape order" means exactly LAST. Nothing was bought since, no batteries, no cotton, no nothing.

Stuff is worth, whatever price the market will bear.

The satin minis I ordered a bunch of, were $20 on ProVari's site a month ago. They're currently $59 on the ProVariFuel site. So let's see, my investment has increased in imaginary value by 300% in a month! Good deal. They're still $80-$140 on Ebay, and roughly $150-$200 at many B&Ms.

My last two device purchases were Provape "specials" - a Bronze ProVari 2.5 in April and a Black Stealth Mini 2.5 in November. I keep seeing great deals on other devices but haven't pulled the trigger. There are some really cool features and form factors but I ask myself how many drops before they die, then back off. The smooth power and insane durability of the ProVari 2.5 ruined my new shiny addiction, and I am pleased.
