It doesn't matter what you want, if you go to Geneva you can buy it studded with diamonds. There's a pair of "First Sail" Nau 18350 mechs listed in the classies right now at $450 each or $860 the pair. Used, of course. I saw an original, low serial Hammer by Kato listed on eBay the other day at $1500, not that I think it will move at that price since there was another one at $400. It just all depends. Most top quality mechs by original builders run in the $150-500 range, but the sky can be the limit for custom work. I actually know a dude who paid $2500 for a Kamagong e-pipe some dude in the Phillipines made, and then shelled another $1500 or so to get the licenses to import it here. There was a cased "international traveler" set I saw at a vape show a year or two back, solid work by a master craftsman in wood, that was an inlaid-rosewood-on-teak-and-holly box containing a pair of e-pipes (an 18350 and an 18500) in natural brier, plus a pair of SvoeMesto atomizers; a drawer with 4 of each size of batteries, with a charger and a variety of plugs for different currents in different locations; plus a drawer that had wire and wick and a set of tools for building, each of which had rosewood handles; plus a drawer containing a tooled leather belt holster to hold one of the pipes and a leather wallet that held a spare battery and a small bottle of juice and yet another rosewood handled tool to replace the battery, plus several larger bottles of juice; plus a drawer that held some cleaning cloths, some wax for the wood, and a removable, smaller teak-and-holly box that would hold either one of the pipes, two batteries and a bottle of juice as a sort of a "weekender" rig so you didn't have to take the whole thing along. 6 x 6 x12 inches, call it. It looked (kinda) like an Old Skool cased set of dueling pistols, except for vape gear. The price tag read $12,500. I have no idea if he sold it. I myself just paid $225 for a Fakir's FX22/Troy 2 combo from Turkey, but I ordered it before Christmas and it isn't here yet so maybe the dude got liquidated in the purges, what with Turkey not being too stable right now. I know a guy in Oklahoma that has a CNC rig and he occasionally makes e-pipes or tube mods in exotic woods; he usually gets a few hundred each. There's a dude here on the board who makes the T-mods squonkers and they're $3-500 (at least) depending on which one. Etc, etc. Look around, and bring your checkbook :)

@suprtrkr Dude... Eeep!

I actually read all that, and you went deep into the details about that international traveler. I was worried it was never going to end.. Might as well buy a car for that price..

But you won't get as much wood..
*Sighs* Shakes head
...*Sigh*


P.S. Sorry for the bad puns, it just happened naturally. I did think about excluding them..

It was an amazingly beautiful piece, without question. I work in wood. It must've taken a month or more to build.

Meteorite Mod by Relik costs $4999, and only 5 of those were ever made. It's made out of a 4.7 billion year old meteorite and as I said, only 5 of those mods have ever been made and will ever be made and each one of them is unique.

The International Traveler sounds extremely interesting, would be awesome to get my hands on it.
It was beautiful. If I ever get my CNC router built, I have a few ideas...
