yeah no, i'm just... I'm unemployed due to health problems, with no income.. so, collecting mods has been a struggle for me from the very beginning of my vaping. but, I struggle and I scrape and save, and when I really really want a new mod, I wind up with it... it may take me 5 months to save $50, but it's all worth it when that mod gets to my mailbox & I open it up & enjoy it.I loveee collecting. I have a ton of cheap mods that are now all broken and messed-up -- but the mods that I save-up for (my provari, my reo) have absolutely nothing wrong w/ them! I know that Chel's mods are the exact same way. Love them so much.
They're very different animals from Provi & Reo. They're very much artisan, much the way of the Billet Box, but I'm not sure they yet share the same constant reliability & support as the three aforementioned ones.
It appears they're working towards that though, which pleases me tremendously. Points for effort, with more to be granted at achievement.
Marvelous mods, no doubt, when they're working well. My much-traveled SS one has been an absolute workhorse since it's last flight, but that's only been a couple of months. I've got Provis that have been going strong for four years, with absolutely no signs of fatigue. Billet Boxes with two years, also still going STRONG. I don't have Reos, but that's just because I need variable (wattage, voltage, no matter). They're also great from what I can see, for those who can use them.
All that being said, I am very hopeful that both XvoSticks will be here four years from now, in much the same vein.
