Coupon code laborday2015 brings it down to $14.25, so $20.25 shipped. I couldn't resist at that price.

Almost got a lowpro rda while I was at it, but figured I better not.
That's exactly what I ended up ordering. :thumb:

A couple weeks ago I ordered a VREX from them that was about $35 with a slant cap and after another coupon. Can get the same setup for $20 now. If anyone is looking for a nice 26650 mod, I can't recommend it enough. I was tempted to get another, but I was able to talk myself down from the ledge (along with a bunch of other stuff).

This is going to be an expensive Labor Day weekend. :vapor:

Wow a lot can change in a week. Almost all items that I have in transit have changed price. If it wasn't for the 25 usd shipping price and 19% VAT by customs I would have ordered another one.
If only vaping existed when I was studying in Chicago in 1995.

You really think you're going to have to pay VAT? I really hadn't thought that I would! For an order value of $25 I fully expected it to go straight through. I've never had any other vaping package be stopped - though admittedly 99% are from China who lie through their teeth about the order value on the declaration ;)

It's an atomizer that months ago cost $140-ish (and I believe still is that price some places) for $21. It's every bit as good today as it was when it first came out. Just because others have since come out which might have benefits over it doesn't make it any less good in itself.

Besides which, its direct successor the Aqua SE, is not a like-for-like comparison. It adds top fill, which is nice, but at the cost of having 2.5ml vs 4ml capacity. And the v2 is an RDA as well as RTA, if you want that. And is made of SS316 vs SS304, for what that's worth.

And Aquas are amazing atomizers.

So yeah, you have absolutely no reason to resist. Sorry :) Actually I'm not sorry - you can get an authentic v2 for $21 delivered where I had to pay $45! (Which was still an amazing deal) :p

I'm hoping you bought the last one.

I don't even understand why I want one, but the Force is weakening with this one. Must resist......

Its one of my favorite tanks. In my top 3. Chances are, I'll rehome something else and use it instead. I also have like 10 replacement plastic tanks, lol! I bought 5 from FT and they sent me 10, but they left out something else I had ordered for about the same value so I figured we were even. But, 10 replacement tanks probably means I should have at least 2 Aqua v2s :)

I already have the "OTM" version that Fasttech originally offered, which some would argue is identical to the authentic. So the debate is whether I really need another one when I only just dusted the first one off yesterday for the first time in months. I am enjoying the fresh build and have a new found appreciation for the V2.

But....

I have several other tanks that I'm thrilled with, so the debate is whether or not I need one just for the sake of having an "authentic". The problem is that having an authentic doesn't mean much anymore, because at $14.25+shipping, it's been grossly devalued.

...that, and I already have several other surprises enroute that do not have my wife's blessings bestowed upon them. ;)

I hear you. I said the same at first. I have so many tanks I like, I really don't need this. But, late last night I said, you know, I do love this tank and would probably rather have this than something else. So now I will decide what that "something else" is and sell it. I'm at a point where I can't keep adding tanks because I'm no good at rotating :)

I had to stop myself getting another Epoch D1 also with the holiday sales. I decided the Aqua has more capacity.

I got the line on the Epoch D1's...My friend's store still has 4 of the 5 they originally ordered, and I am vaping the only one they've sold. Seems people are less and less interested in building their own, as it's the sub tanks that fly off the shelves now. They have a good price one the Epoch too, similar to what it's been online. And with my 20% discount, it's a no-brainer. Might go visit the store today.
