Lol! I have over 25 mods because due diligence never stopped me and never regretted except in one case-The Indulgence!
I just googled this, and yes, nickel does oxidize.Cape Cod polishing cloths will remove it however. Information also states that the brass underneath the nickel will also oxidize and has a tendency to "bubble up" through the nickel.
Ah well, I'm well stocked with polishing supplies anyway. What's one more piece to polish.....right???
Hmmm... I was assured that the old acid bath nickel plating method used for the Preciouses will stay in perfect shape for a long time. It's 0.5mm of nickel plating on them.
Are you sure that information is not about the new "improved" and "ecological" nickel platings?
The shop nickel plates car accessories and those have to survive for years in harsh environments.
Anyway the first one is still shiny and in perfect condition after almost two months. No maintenance whatsoever.
It would indead be very hard for brass or anything for that matter to bubble up with 0.5mm of nickel applied! 8-oHmmm... I was assured that the old acid bath nickel plating method used for the Preciouses will stay in perfect shape for a long time. It's 0.5mm of nickel plating on them.

Thank you, Chucklehead. I guess my questions aren't so much about The Precious itself but about the batteries used. (I'm sounding more and more stupidWelcome - The Precious Heres everything u need to know
Thank you, Chucklehead. I guess my questions aren't so much about The Precious itself but about the batteries used. (I'm sounding more and more stupid) What is the difference between the three sizes of batteries? And what makes them better than my KR808 battery? Besides aesthetics, I don't understand what makes a mod better than what I have.
Obviously I don't need one if I'm this ignorant.
But, still, I want to understand. And tell me if I have this straight...it's threaded for a 510 atty (any 510 atty? or does it have to be some special kind?) and there's an adapter so that a 910 will fit?
I would suggest the big Precious for these reasons. It gives you the option of using a 18650 battery at 3.7vs ! Now the 18650 battery has the highest Mah ratings ! MAHS >meaning amout of storage ! Look at it like a gas tank this is a big oneThank you, Chucklehead. I guess my questions aren't so much about The Precious itself but about the batteries used.

Dam it manYou have a USPS tracking # already? 8-o
Yes once it clears customs ! which could take a couple daysCorrect me if I'm wrong (anyone who has received one), But I'm assuming the RN number will work once it hits the USPS Chuck.
Your welcome ! When i first started vaping.I knew noting about batteriesHoosier and Chucklehead, you guys are great! Thank you for 'splaining batteries to me. I knew there was something I was missing because all I could see was that the small Precious was cute.But even I can understand that more storage=longer use=better. (See? She can be taught!
)
And I didn't understand that all three were 3.7volts. Got it.
Y'all lost me with the low/high resistance and getting 6volts but that's okay because I know a heckuva lot more now than I did this morning. Thank you again!![]()

You lucky %^$^&Received my Precious this afternoon and yes I think it lives up to all it's hype. Very nice solid feel to it and very shiny with the nickel finish, the button is very sensitive and responds instantly to the slightest touch. So far so good, I'm at work right now so only using the 6 volt option with 2 Tenergy 123 batteries, I'll compare it to an 18650 with a LR atomizer when I get home. Vapes very well with reg 510 at 6 volt, no complaints here, sitting here admiring it....
SweetI bit the bullet and bought a precious M today around 2PM CST. I am curious as to how long it will take to arrive now though. PV waits... poor mail persons
