@Vaslovik , Vapor Lounge in Rancho Cucamonga, Cal. still has some for $100, 490's and 350's I believe he said no 18650's. They have a couple 650's, I think, for around $130 in the consignment case. Kinda high, but they do have some. I can pm you the phone # if you want to talk to them.

I went to their website and did a search for Poldiac, which came up empty.

If it comes to it, you can make your own contact rods using thick gauge copper wire from Home Depot/Lowes. Should work just as good but obviously will need more cleaning since it's not rhodium coated. I forgot the exact gauge of wire but it shouldn't be too hard to figure out.

I've thought of that, and may have to resort to it in time.

Anyone know where I can get Poldiac button section parts? I'm on the point of buying a 4th Poldiac just to have it for parts, and the price has of course gone up. I found Poldiacs at the VaporAuthority site, but their site will not let me order them for some reason. I emailed them, and so far no response. Poldiacs, authentic Poldiacs, are getting very rare and hard to find.

I googled some, and couldn't come up with anything. I should've gotten more parts while I had the chance also. I was kinda under the impression they would always carry some parts tho.

Yeah, Miriam told me in an email that parts would be available for a long time, but such has not turned out to be the case, and now they have none I can use. It seems their situation there in Greece has become rather austere. I've not wanted to bother Miriam about this, but I think I might send her an email asking about parts. Maybe in time they will be able to supply parts, but I'm not holding my breath on that.

I'm hoping that if and when things get better there, they will stock some. As a last ditch effort, you might go their their forum, and ask in there. Maybe someone hoarded a bunch.

Their forum? Where's that? I doubt I'll have any luck there, if I'd hoarded a bunch of parts, I'd never let go of them. I ordered all the parts I could get while the Poldiacs were on sale toward the end, but didn't get all I wanted. Finances didn't permit me getting all I wanted. I just bought a raft of parts for my DID's too, and I'm going to get a third DID pretty soon. Got three Poldiacs, need three DID's.

Anyway, this is what Miriam told me about Poldiac parts last July 21st:

Because of the crisis in Greece we are forced to move to a smaller building. Because of this we have 40% discount on all our products in order to reduce the stock size so it will fit into the new building.

The Poldiac will go out of stock and will not be restocked. The spare parts however should still be available for a long long time. We just need a little time to restock the Peek Ketron.

Kind Regards,

Miriam with the Hat

I remember reading that now. That's where I got the idea parts wouldn't be a problem.
To get to the forum, go here:

MMV-Forum

There is a lot of info there worthy of reading thru.

Thank you for the link, I'd not known about that before. Well, parts are a problem it seems, and I guess things in Greece are worse than they expected. It seems they intended to supply parts, but have not been able to. I wrote Miriam asking about this. I'm hoping for some good news, but....

Well, Miriam answers:

Because of the crisis in Greece a lot of companies have gone bankrupt
including some of our suppliers.
We are looking for new suppliers but until we find them what you see on our
website is what we have.


So it does indeed look as though things in Greece are worse than I knew. They are trying to find new suppliers for parts, but it's likely to be an uphill thing there. I'm quite sure the good people at MMV are doing all they can to support their products, but it's a very tall order in the situation they find themselves in. They deserve our prayers and support.
