@Letitia, there's also the SXmini SL Class. There in the process of being discontinued, so there's not many left around and more importantly not necessarily at reasonable prices.
Thanks I have an SL, if I can get one for 70.00 or less I'd get another.

I set up an account. Regular shipping to the US is 10 euro 2-7 days or DHL (24 hr) 13 euro. The price drops when the VAT is eliminated so it's 37.58 Euro and with the regular shipping the total is 47.48 (sorry, don't remember the ASCI code for the euro sign). Not that I want one or anything.:rolleyes:
What is VAT? Is it automatically eliminated at checkout?

VAT is the sales tax applied to all sales in the EU. As we're not in the EU that is not charged and why the price comes down. And it's eliminated when you enter your address as it's identified as shipping to the US.

Value added tax is charged in certain countries. If a product is sold outside the geographic boundaries, it won't be factored in, but is usually included in the stated price, such as a luxury tax in the USA.

Sofia from Shisha Sticks – $887,000
Sofia-from-Shisha-Sticks-e1552315726403.jpg


Almost a MILLION bucks for a vape pen. Yes, you would have to be completely INSANE to buy this. Mostly because it’s a massive waste of money but also because it’d likely vape terribly (I mean, look at that tank!).

Either way, the thing that makes this vape pen worth almost a million dollars are the diamonds used on its chassis. It features over 200 diamonds and precious stones. But think how cool you’d look vaping it on your yacht in Monte Carlo!?

Well bummer over here. My Luna failed after 30 minutes. Turned on fine, fired my atty fine (0.4 ohm simple round coil in a KRMA, double checked not shorted) ad was good for a few draws. Went back and it wouldn't fire. Tried clicking 5 times to turn back on thinking it might have gone into sleep mode or something. No light came on at all. Took the battery out and reinserted at which point it autofired and wouldn't stop until I removed the battery. So much for that board.

Sent an email to sourcemore and I'll see what they come back with. Checked the Asmodus site and there is a 30 day warranty but they require an $8 "administrative fee" to be paid to return for repair or replacement. Given what I paid for it, the $8 is a big chunk of the purchase price (granted on sale). Still, pretty upsetting and literally the first mod I ever had fail on me, let alone autofire which is utterly unacceptable.

Eh, old news. Here's the original from 2013

It was a one off he ordered for her. The story made the UK newspapers too. Not sure how the guy's wife felt about it after reading the morning paper.

Edit: Here's a link to the story Russian Oligarch Gifts His Girlfriend Diamond Studded E-Cigarette Worth $890,000 - Lux Pursuits

My 26650 Flux mod from SkullKandyVapes landed in Winnipeg last night and was delivered this morning! I ordered this to make better use of the LiFePO4 26650s I picked up in June, which I was testing in an inexpensive Megan clone tube mod ... I prefer squonking to dripping and I prefer a box mod to a bottom-button tube mod.

I pulled the 1928 RDA off the 26650 Megan, installed the squonk pin, paired it with the stainless beauty ring from one of my Holic RDAs, and voila:

flux26650-small.jpg


It's taller than it needs to be (I think they just used the height dimension from their 2x700 models), and it's thick (well, 26650 so ... duh), and definitely boxy (but the edges are not sharp). The front panel rocked some, so I had to attack the panel's battery groove with some sandpaper and I have it down to just a hair of movement now (I'll work it some more later). The button is firm, but smooth, and squonking works just fine thus far.

Of course, now that 18650batterystore has just brought in high drain LiFePO4 18650 cells (which I've ordered), this is kind of superfluous:rolleyes:.

Contact AsMODus support. You likely will not have to pay the fee. I didn’t. I did have to pay shipping though, but I didn’t even ask if they would.

    Stunning! :wub::wub::wub:

    Did you use the micro mesh pads? Which grit did you start with & did you move quickly down the sizes? Or did you spend some time on each grit size?

    Thanks much! I started with the 4,000 grit & spent a few minutes on each pad down to the finest grit @12,000. Then finished with the Renaissance Wax Polish.

    It’s nice & smooth but not as shiney as yours :D

    Very Nice Job @Heartsdelight:D
    SHINY:wub:

    When I did the conversion it was like $58 (?) USD. The conversion rate will depend on how your credit card company handles the currency exchange.
    When I did the conversion last night I thought it would probably push 60 after shipping. Having never ordered from the EU I didn't trust my numbers at all.

    Did you have the same board failure? Failing on like that is a very bad thing.

    Went back and did the currency exchange again. The total is 47.48 euro with standard shipping. That's $52.66 with today's exchange rate. Your bank may be a dollar higher or lower depending how they handle currencies for your account.
