Karen pretty much hit it on the head
It is not a "need" item. Nobody needs one but if you can get one of the second runs (and order the new screws) or third runs with the new screws (not a first run with brass posts and feed tube) one of three things is likely to occur:
1. you will see and believe that there is a reason that people pay what they do for them and that entire runs sell out in minutes and god himself will have to pry it from your hand when you die.
2. You will struggle with building it, notice that the
vape is no better than what you get from an RM2, regret the purchase because it's "just an overpriced, albeit fanatically machined hunk of thick SS, titanium and silver plate" and get rid it as quick as you can even if it means taking a loss.
3. You will struggle with building it or not even use it and attempt to (and probably succeed) sell it for more than you paid for it.
It really is a no risk investment but over the last year, of the 10 or so REOnauts who reached out to me about them prior to purchasing them and were also very enthusiastic / excited about getting one, most didn't like them, and ultimately sold them.
A guy won one that a fine REOnaut donated as a prize in a contest and he ended up never even building it if I recall correctly.
Judging from experience, It's one of those things that you either "get", procure and rock on or have questions, procure and regret.
I sold two over the last year - one 1st Run and one second run (both to the same guy on the classies) My third one spent allot of time sitting in a drawer until the new run and screws came out so I even ordered another chalice and use them on my most special woods
you might as well go outside and burn the cash
