evening, zenfriends,
a little behind with my ketchup but..., sounds like lots of gratz, t/y's, and 'attaboy/girls' are due. Ya'll deserve everything!
Ahem, did i mention i just passed my three year anniversary of quitting? Just saying....
I'll be happy to take on a wife, one willing to cook & put up with my grief (hi, pg!).
Cobalts at vapercon were originally supposed to be three-tiered in pricing. There was 'perfect', complete with tube packaging & accessories, though i don't recall the price point. Second tier with no packaging or accessories but one installed wick & coil. Then, third, which was originally marketed as low as $180 (or was it $160?) for 'pretty bad' finish with no accessories, at all.
But on day 2, some second tiers were accidentally sold as thirds ($210), so on day three, there were only two choices: First tier with everything or second tier (buyer beware & examine what they were getting) for the $210. I believe andyman can confirm or refute.
I purchased my cobalt for $210 third day & asked mike to pick one for me, pointing out that he certainly had more refined standards than i. He shuffled through approximately ten units before presenting me with one he deemed suitable. Chief can confirm that after we examined it closely, the only blemish we could find was inside the top cap, where there was a small anodization 'spot' error. Something you could only see by looking at the inside (normally not visible during regular use).
Anyway, i figure i got a hand-picked, (by the zen man, himself) essentially unblemished cobalt for $210. Obviously, i am completely satisfied & once more admiring of the integrity exhibited by our fearless leader.
(the blurrily undocumented boob grab occurred long after my purchase and had no bearing upon it.)
night, all....
