I've learned that while there's no electronics, there's a difference between cheaper and expensive.
Just feel if you know what I mean.
The machining on my dreamer is way better than the cheaper ones I have. And it isn't high end by any means at around 100 bucks.

I'd put 100+ in expensive circle. While not the $300+ area still pricy...ish.

Both of mine are $120-150. I don't consider the high end, but not low end either.

Why are mech mods so expensive if they don’t have electronics?
Design, safety, materials, workmanship, precision machining, QA. Chip based mods tend to be mass produced with the idea that the chip will compensate for lapses in quality making the devices disposable. If mechs were built with the same regard, the company would be shipping pipe bombs across the country and quickly be held accountable at the industry and most likely legal level.

Ok this brand's connect forum that came up, only 5 brands in it.
What's up with that?
Think I answered my own question.
Seems it's because that company has reps on ecf answering the questions not ecf staff.
Why are only 5 represented is the next question.
Where is dotmod and eleaf to address recent issues for the group?
:confused:

At least they lable it for easy identification.
I was trying to get SideSync to let me share stuff between the laptop, S6 and new tablet and had to tinker with the router settings to let everyone talk to each other. Found the guest SSID option and changed the name.

People like you and me will laugh. My teen-aged daughters' male suitors probably won't.

I probably should have asked here first but anyone have a coupon code for Essential Depot? $87 shipped is a decent price these days but cheaper is betterer.
Cheaper at Amazon than at Essential Depot's own website.

Aside from 2 protective brothers and a visible shotgun, when Emma has her first date I intend to dig a hole in the yard and show it to the guy. Figure if he puts 2 and 2 together and behaves she can see him again.

My father-in-law is a retired state trooper and a (now) retired Methodist Minitser. Before each of his daughters were married he told the groom's this:

I can hit a groundhog from 50 yds. You're a lot bigger than a groundhog.

We have all thought it prudent to respect this words coming from a man who not only is licesed to carry, but has the ear of God as well.
 

Skunk!

It looks like your question has been answered. I want to add that 22mm authentic mechanicals that used to sell for up to $200 can be found online for as cheap as $20 now if you look hard enough. If you don't mind the smaller diameter you can get a high quality authentic for the same price as its clone.
