what's even more outrageous is the resale prices on these expensive stuff!!! As if the retail value wasn't bad enough, the resale value is double of ehat retail is... Lets focus on that! Forget what the retail is, resale is the biggest concern... If resale value was not 100% higher than retail, people would have these things instead of 1 guy buying like 6 of them and selling them for more...

^^^^^ this.

If I was trained in machining and had access to a machine shop I would learn how to machine attys and sell my American made attys at a hundred bucks a pop. My company would be called "Murican". Eagles, stars and bars and you would all give me your money.

And if If was a fifth wed all be drunk ;-)

I too avoid added adapters if possible, however sometimes they're a necessary evil to achieve a desired means...

eGo to 510 adapters are the only way to run an EVOD (and a lot of other delivery devices) on a straight 510 threaded mod...
510 to 150 adapters are necessary in most cases to use a drip shield on a 510 atomizer...

On many if not most RBAs that tiny 510 connector is their Achilles heel!

On a straight 510 mod with no collar, an ego to 510 adapter with a beauty ring can not only improve the appearance but serve to add support and take some of the stress off of the connector.

There are many shades of grey in this black and white picture!

I just bought a MCV Atomic atty for $95! And I can't get it set up to suit me.

I like my $5 V5 clone much better.

If anybody is looking for one you can contact me.

Don't give up on the Atomic! My favorite atty right now (maybe because it looks so great on my Nzonicv#3).

I bought 5 of those Nimbus clones as gifts and 3/5 were unusable when i received them because of garbage o-rings breaking apart soon as I lifted the caps.

I have an Nzonic V3 as well. But the Atomic is always wet with all the holes, etc. Can you upload a pic of the inside?

I'm a recent college graduate with a b.f.a. and while I was getting my art degree I took a few jewelry classes to fill up electives. Who knew they would come in so handy. My 30 dollar segelei has all 99.9% silver contacts and I doubt there are many more expensive mods out there that will out preform it from a voltage drop stand point.

Sure I spent ours making little silver posts to replace the brass ones but I did it out of something quite close to resembling love. It's my first mech mod and I liked its simple lines and heat treated and polished the devices to make it unique. Some people put fancy tail lights and wings on their cars and some people drop in super chargers and some just buy a Ferrari to start that's the way I look at vaping.

Before and after with an aga t2 using ribbon wire at .73 ohms.
