I'm fully aware of the rush, for that new mod, but I'll give a little insight as to how the process works as the years go by. We all get extemely amped about what would be the "End All, Perfect mod", such is usually not the case. There is a reason, tons and tons of these great mods get put up on the classified sections all the time: they don't turn out to be the "End All" mod. I can probably think of about 30 mods I have purchased that were extremely difficult to get, and I sat here on ECF day after day refreshing threads and subscribing. I've sat on websites hitting refresh while at work every 5 minutes while my productivity goes down the toilet. I've emailed vendors and offered to pay double a mods price just so I don't have to run the gamut on something. After waiting months on a pre-order (worried I got scammed), all this work PMing vendors and watching threads, trying to work trades with owners, and spamming refresh button; were do you think almost all of these mods are now?
But a VERY small fraction of the mods I have purchased, and most all have been sold off, some even thrown in the trash because they were seriously over-hyped by some fanboy with nothing to compare a new mod too, remain in my collection. There is always something new coming out, something that will make your previous favorite obsolete, or you have to stack adapters on it and it looks lame. Something that your previous favorite cartos or tank or RBA won't fit on.
Trick is, if you want to watch anything, watch the classified section. The greatest thing about ECF for me is those classys. But try not to get bent out of wack over something that just looks too be perfect: there are flaws to them all. I can't count the times I've been screwed over by a super hyped pre-order, or fanboys. The great mods? They don't die, there might be small improvements to them, but they don't die and they don't forever fall into the unobtanium category. While your waiting on the classys, do some honest research, look at who is posting and what experience they have with vaping that might be similar to yours. Use ECF to make informed decisions or just buy and sell mods all day long like me 8)
