I feel like flipping like that is a flogging-worthy offense.

If I end up selling anything like that, I feel like I'd be justified to not want to lose a dime. But, wanting to make money seems kind of dumb. I get it, I really do. They have something that people want and are willing to pay for. But I stll don't like it.

I think Im just jealous that I havent been able to snag one up to keep let alone get extras to sell. Being in Kentucky kinda limits me on the vaping gear I can get at normal prices.

Yeah, long as you are patient and get it through their website.

I've been watching mod trader and as usual the guys who got it for even cheaper out at Vaperev are already flipping the brass ones for 300-400$+, people do the same with Chi's. Just annoys me because the people who really would enjoy them are having a hard time getting ahold of them.

Well, cannot not stop people from flipping for unnecessary profit nor stop inpatient people from paying high prices. That's relative to everything else, unfortunately.

My Poldiac just got in.

It would have been delivered in a few hours, but I saw the UPS guy at another building I was in and asked about it. I now love our UPS guy.

I'm *almost* disappointed about some of the fit & finish. The delrin ring in the top cap seems pretty rough, and the button seems less than perfect. I probably just need to play with exactly how the shirt is sitting and clean it.

Also, the packaging was creative; all the extra parts were inside the tube.

Still, I'm excited to get home and put an atty on it. And damn this thing is smaller than I expected.

And seirously, less than 60 hours from Athens, Greece to Atlanta. My last order from upstate New York took 9 days.

It took me a few days to get my poldiac set up just right, but once it was, it was aaaamaazing.

I would recommend breaking down your button and cleaning everything super well and put it back together all lined up.

My magnet was off center when I got it cause weird tension in the press and odd firings.

Thanks for the advice. I'll do that. Fortunately, I watched a video about the switch about the time I ordered it. So I have some idea what to expect.

The thing is really pretty in the details yet pretty unassuming. I think I'm going to like it.

Also, sorry Hokus. I know you're selling one. I probably would have bought it except I'd already ordered this one.

Get a real Ody.

Yeah, if you can find one!

My Nautilus/Terminator is currently my most reliable rebuildable (perhaps that will change when I get my Cobra).

But it's always good to remember that while original may be the best option, a copy is (by process of elimination) the second best option. :p

Woah.. Waking up late is amazing. I just slept a whole night for the first time in... 20 years?

Get a real Ody.

I thought about it, looked at some, then decided it wasn't significantly different enough from my term-c to bother. My term c works great, the windows work just fine on it too.

Then I got the Taifun GT, no nr or ceramic, 5 minutes of maintenance per week. I'm kind of spoiled now. Mesh coil gets burned clean, rinse the rest, done. Actually I switched to xc-116 instead of ekowool for the wick on top...so I can just torch that rather than change it.
