I need another apv like I need another hole in my head, but the ihybrids are so unique that I can't seem to keep from looking at them. On the website there is a gorgeous purplish flowery one that is scheduled for preorders on the 7th and I am sooooo tempted. I have a few questions though.

I have been an avid provari user for the last couple of years and love the fact that it is vv. The ability to use a kick with the ihybrid takes that concern away. I have tried rbas but have never used one with a ss wick. I have not been too impressed with the ones I've used, but I've heard the ss wicks are much better so I'm willing to risk it since cartos seem to be so hit and miss nowadays. My biggest concern atm is the bottom button. I have arthritis which is most pronounced in my pinkies. I am a bit concerned that this might be an issue with a bottom button. Does anyone here have a similar situation who could advise me on how easy it is to use a bottom button?

Also, how do the preorders work? Is there a limited number available. If I want one of those do I need to practice hitting the F5 button? Is the preorder handled on the website? Are the preorders also prepaid?

Thanks in advance.

Just out of curiousity. Are the IhY 9/11 edition is it equipped for the kick with out any issues. Mine came with the 18650 / 18350 tube.

Thanks in advance...

I believe you can use the 18650 tube with a kick. Face was making special kick tubes but I believe he discontinued them.

You can hold the pv a little lower and fire with your ring finger or you can hold it with a downwards fist and basically fire it with your 4 fingers. From what I have heard the new button face came out with is crazy easy to push so you shouldn't have any issues.
Practice f5, no list. When they go up for sell they ship usually within a week.
Nothing can compare to a ss wick. You will never wanna go back to cartos.

Isn't it supposed to be listed a no more than 20 percent over retail?
Yeah, he has it listed for $370 because its a "LE" but the mods are all the same, just different outer shell. He bought it recently.....I could POSSIBLY see that price on it 2 years from now lol, but not a couple of weeks after he bought it. I reported it anyway, this is BS. All his posts are classified related. Not like hes an asset to the community.

I use one kicked and two at battery voltage.

SS wicks take some patience and there is a significant learning curve. Heck, there's always more to learn on these things. Once you sort of figure it out, you may not care if you have VV/VW ever again. The newer switches operate easily. The Illuminati switch has a very short throw. I don't have arthritis, but I certainly don't have any problems

Also, how do the preorders work? Is there a limited number available. If I want one of those do I need to practice hitting the F5 button? Is the preorder handled on the website? Are the preorders also prepaid?

You prepay, and have your new work of art in about two weeks, give or take. If Faceless misses a deadline, and he seldom does, it's by a day or two, not months.

That rule does not apply to Limited Editions, not made anymore.

I fail to understand why people purchase an item like this when their only purpose is obviously to flip it. I also don't understand why people continue to do business with people like this. They wouldn't do it if nobody played into their game.

I don't agree with what this guy is doing. Nothing will come of reporting it. These mods are "no longer in production." Reporting it will do nothing. We can ignore it, or buy it, but he is within the rules.

True, still make his life difficult is all we can do. Items not in production can be sold for any price and people are willing to pay for it. ECF has done something about it, the max 20% profit, but really that is all they can do...

Yeah - it's a pretty low life thing to do. I know some folks even have multiple ECF identities - one to be all nice and socialize with the rest of us, and one to do crap like this on the classifieds, to take advantage of something they can't make, and how bad someone wants said made item. Pretty low, but Karma has a way of setting these things right over time...

Profile says joined in August, but he has only 38 posts - yet 28 trades, buys, and/or sales. I'm betting mostly sales.

I don't agree with it either, but people do this with anything rare and in demand. I paid double for a Nintendo wee a few yrs. back so my kids could have one Christmas morning. I didn't like it but it was my only option if I wanted it at that time. I think it's against the rules to hijack someone else's thread. :vapor:
