I'm trying to get Grand tomorrow and have a question.

I believe I will stay off the site until Woodvils show back up. Hope everyone gets what they are pining for.

... Hope everyone gets what they are pining for.

Likewise, I wonder what type of demand Robert is still getting with these mods? I wonder how many mods total Robert has sold?
I'm thinking it would be nice to have a serial number marked onto each unit. It would be cool to know what number mod we have, but would also help with QC, durability testing, and repair tracking for Robert.

I tell you what implementing a QMS (Quality Management System) ISO 9001:2008 into my business was the best thing I could have ever done. I've saved thousands of dollars over the past few years, and have really exceeded my customers expectations with build quality, and how we handle our day-to- day operations.

Anyways enough with my rants. Just roaming ECF killing some time until tonights sales offering.

Keep up the good work Robert!

Good luck everyone!

I believe he's pushing the 3000 mark at this point.

3000??? Crazy!!

Build a better mod and they will come I have 2 Grands and am just waiting on the Woodvils to show up so I can spend some more money.

That's Great! I hope Rob has a nice profit margin on these mods. He deserves the success.

LOL, considering all of the time he puts in on the mods and with us, I bet his hourly rate sucks.

When your a business owner you look at PM, not hourly rates. Owning a small business alway consumes your time. Its more a way of life, not a job.

Lets just say you make $225.00 an hour sounds good right?, but your shop costs $230.00 (operating cost) per hour to run efficiently. That $225.00 per hour sucks! Finance 101

WOOOHOOO!! reo mini is on the way!

You are exactly right! With Rob being a "one man" business he alone shoulders the burden for the overhead. What Rob is doing is much different that slapping together a few pieces of plastic and wiring it up. No quick trips to Radio Shak to get supplies to take to a spare bedroom and assemble.
If you count all expenditures from start to finish, and subtract the total from his asking price for each, I would bet the profit margin is more than fair for the consumer.
People look at the quantity of REO's sold at each sale and think he is making a killing. I think he loves his job and is more concerned with putting out a quality product that offers others the experience of vaping with ease. His standards are high and that alone cause his profits to shrink.
