They price themselves into the elite, then into non-existence. I get that it's American made abd the labor rate with be hugely different. Weird thing is, I don't hear about the V1 or V2 mentioned in peoples collections as an "OMG!" tank.

There was a thread at one time on here about the v1 or v2 at the similar price point.

This RTA looks nice. But there are even nicer ones out there.
Buildquality seems really good, but even mainstream RTAs are topnotch nowadays.
Flavour and cloudproduction are good?
That's no sellingpoint either. There are a lot out there, that deliver an equal or maybe even better experience for a fraction of the price of 250 bucks.

Sorry, but this thing is not high-end. It's just a rip-off.

For 250$ you have to deliver bigtime. But this thing just doesn't.
But in my opinion even a Kayfun isn't worth even 150$, although it's one of the best tanks out there and I really like the way it vapes.
Alright, these are hand-made, I understand that, but the quality has to match every single cent and the problem is, that chinese manufactured RTAs are no longer lagging behind in terms of production quality.

Nothing is really hand made these days. It's all machined manually at first during R&D and then parts are mass produced on a CNC type machine from a perfected computer design.

Lucky for us, cost goes down as automation takes over.

Cost goes down, but it's a slow slide for the original designer and builder authentics. Good clones are my choice. I doubt that a blindfold test would reveal what's being vaped between the two.

I don't know....I feel people should be able to charge whatever they want for their products. Nobody's forcing anyone to buy one. Personally, I'm grateful this tank has absolutely nothing innovative to offer....it's just a big RTA.
I'm glad it's so expensive....if it was $100, I might be inclined to buy it. But, it wasn't designed for me. There's a bunch of tanks exactly like this one for reasonable money. The folks that buy this are people that want to support their buddy. No shame in that....but it seems to be a one sided friendship.
