What Mod did you buy and then immediately regret

[Baron Man]

For me it's the Kamry K1000. It's an expensive POS now. Nothing but problems since I bought it. The seller was a giant douche as well.

Friends bought the t8 cloupor box, was a bit jealous at first for their watt increase 150 vs my 100. Both decided to open their boxes to see what they have eaten up. Did some tests a while ago how they stack up against each other... From what ive seen the sigelei beats both of the t8s on accuracy with the volts and watts. They both managed to melt 0.6mm kanthal using the t8 mod

The IPV3.

Now I love my ipv2, the IPV3 not so much. In retrospect, I'd rather have another IPV2 and the extra $50 bucks. In fact, I'd just rather have the other IPV2 and to Hell with the extra $50 as a lesson learned.

is it in good working condition? I'll take that ivp3 for $50 and you can go buy another ipv2

I regretted buying my Surefire King Kong 26650 for the week I waited for it to get to me. Kept kicking myself for splurging like that ... but then I got it and loved it ... then I dropped it on the asphalt and regretted it again.

I really wish I didn't buy the Sigelei 50w. I had it on pre-order, and shortly ordered an original IPV2 before I received the sigelei. IPV2 has been flawless while the sigelei 50w has had that ohm jumping problem ever since I first used it. Needless to say, I do not use the sigelei 50w and it sits in a box. Even though they're not mods, I regret buying 2 of those Rocket atomizers. Cheap-... quality.

I bought a broken eVic on the classies

Immediately? None. A few ended up disappointing me after a while... and one ended up embarrassing me.

There was one I gave my highest recommendation to... and I personally talked quite a number of ECF-ers (and people on other forums as well) in to buying. Mine was perfect for a couple of months... absolutely perfect. Other people reported a variety of problems - and they did so consistently. My guess is that it was at least 80% of the folks who talked about owning it reported serious problems with it... but mine was perfect for a while and I continued recommending it. -- Then, one day, it wasn't so perfect any more. I sent it in for repair. When I got it back, it had every single problem other people had reported with theirs.... It was the VVPV. I still, more than 2 1/2 years later, feel compelled to apologize to anyone I talked in to buying that thing. I honestly feel bad about any role I played in promoting that piece of junk. ---> I genuinely like the guy who made it and his work is incredibly important to the evolution of e-cigs... but I was left seriously unsatisfied with the entire experience... except those couple of months or so when that thing worked right.

I kept it. It doesn't work right, and it leaks like a sieve, and it doesn't charge properly, and I never intend to ever even try to use it again... But I keep that one where I see it almost every day so I can have a good reminder to be far more judicious with my recommendations and to give devices far more scrutiny before I spend good money on them.

No worries, man
The thing was a great vape when it was working. I sent mine in about 8 times over the course of a year or two, and I was always dreading the next failure - but overall I don't really regret the purchase.

The pity is that with some tweaking it could have been truly great mod. With an OKR t-6, and a switch and charging port that wouldn't fail along with an isolated chamber for the bottle, and I would have bought a bunch of them. I'm still debating sending the dead one I have to a modder to make it a straight mechanical

My only regretful purchases (outside of vendors who just disappeared after taking my money) are cartos. I don't use them any more and I still have about 100 of them in a drawer... when I got them they were my main vape, but i06s and gennys put a quick end to that.
I'm just glad I avoided most of the really bad things like the JBox - my vaporware was fairly cheap!

Wow, really glad after reading this thread that I didn't end up buying a Vamo...any Vamo for that matter. I only really regret my stick battery Gravity and the 4 or so tank's I bought for it over time. I spent like 70 bucks on it not knowing what else was out there, and I just gave it away the other day. I would say my MVP 2.0, but it's such a damn good device and it is the sole reason I was able to quit the analogs so I'm afraid it doesn't make that list.

I regretted getting a Stingray. Was my first mech, and only bought it cause I couldn't wait for the brass slug clone I got through a group buy. Button magnets are crunchy, get stuck often, lock ring ....s up and tore my battery before. Never saw the light of day once I got my SMPL's too.

I may have a bit of a different take on this thread.

I bought a Reo Grand and once received, regretted not purchasing two! Got to have a backup for those times you want to re-wick or re-coil.

Vamo
Smok sidewinder
Provari v2.5 - I could have spent that money on a reo instead of the prothingy I no longer use... but the wife uses it all the time now, so no loss

Sent from my device.

I bought several devices and atomizer which i didnt like to use anymore after few weeks or month. Like Protanks, spinners, itaste svd, rsst genesis and some more clearomizers. No worries about collecting dust on them, because i did sell all of the stuff to new vapers for fair price and i got better, unfourtenately more expensive stuff which i love to use because of really great vaping experience they provide.

None for me:

All my mods, the two Kamrys and the MVP have been great.

If I can digress off mods: the first e-cig/cig-a-like I ever bought was awful, and I wished I’d ditched Kanger and got an Aspire earlier instead of sticking to second best.
