Aggh!!! And I thought it was completely gone! After getting the Stealth and Ody, I was certain it had disappeared...I LOVE the way the Stealth/Ody vapes...absolutely love it!

However...an opportunity presented itself today for another mod I simply could not say "no" to. a Precise Plus 10440, technically "used" ( I think it was actually used two or three times...never all the way through a full battery), a half dozen new batteries, carrying pouch and a few other bits & pieces of vaping gear....all for...well, a price that would barely buy a starter ego kit, as long as you wouldn't have to pay for shipping.


I know the battery life on these is terrible; but...it's got lots of batteries. I know it's not an "all day vaping " mod; that's cool too...I have a Rolls-Royce all day vaping mod in the Stealth/Ody. In truth, it will probably see little/no usage until the middle of February when we have a Black-tie banquet to attend. I suspect that's when it will see most of it useage; at the few formal events we get to every year.


I could never justify buying one for 3 or 4 events per year at the full price....at the price I paid, I couldn't afford NOT to have it.

Now, I need suggestions on some fancy carto's and a nice tip to go with that gorgeous finish...any ideas?


Yes, I am man enough to admit it; I'm excited...can't wait for the mailman to bring my new "toy"

Now, I LIKE the way you think! "opportunistic Purchase" instead of "acquisition disorder"...that's my wife's term for my afliction...I'm gonna try yours on her, see what she thinks (although I suspect, sadly that I already know what her position will be :^( )
Opportunistic purchase ... not acquisition disorder

If you not 200% happy with the purchase I will take it off your hands :laugh:

SS ming, and some silver cartos would keep the overall appearance the same

Welcome to the support group wreimer. I to also have an acquisition disorder. The only way I have found to keep the shakes away is to buy more stuff.

Personally I just ordered a ego-C. I just got a LT VV just two weeks ago. My fingers started trembling and I just had to do it.

All kidding aside. This can be a major problem for some people. It's especially hard when you just get in to something new. Always looking for better stuff.

The only problem with that is shipping costs. I always go to online stores and put one or two things in a shop cart. Usually ends up costing more to ship it then the products did.

I do like how fast shipping seems to have gotten with in Canada. Seems like just last year a package from Ontario would take a week to get to Alberta. Now it's here over night.

That's true the shipping will often kill any kind of deal and you feel obliged to buy more stuff to justify the shipping costs. I wish our vendors would give us different shipping options - i.e. if I just want to buy a $6.50 atomizer why can't I just pay the price of a stamp and envelope instead of $10 xpresspost shipping? Some things I don't necessarily need overnighted

Concat did you look @ the Alpha UltraLite / VP1 / Bulli Slim :)

Yeah I have :p I've checked out all the 10440 mods I could find. I really want a GG Slim, or a P 10440. Next in line would be the VP1 (The Spade)... price is good for that one :p

I just meant that I've been stalking the classifieds and haven't been lucky. But I'm getting a pipe mod now, so I'm too worried. I'll continue stalking :)

You're going to love your Precise 10440!! :wub:

The only drawback for me was the battery life, but it's a sexy little PV!! Did you get one of the older ones? With the brass end caps? I have one of those and stalked someone on the classfieds for a brass drip tip and it's ALL that and a bag of chips!

Congrats on the new baby!! :thumbs:

Try emailing the place you are buying from and ask about sending it snail mail for smaller items, the post office charges more if the envelope doesnt fit through a certain sized slot, anything smaller then a 30ml bottle will work
