I have drooled over the mod myself. It is worth it if it is worth it to you. I get a little on the frugal side of things sometimes and I would hate to drop the coin and be disappointed that it is no better than my ipv3 in actual function. I would love to hear some feedback on the unit but anybody that buys one or receives one will more than likely rave on it.

It depends on how much $600 is worth to you. For me no vaping hardware is worth that much, but if you want it that much and don't mind dropping that much then go for it.

I agree, it completely over priced but there's nothing else quite like it. This is going to be my final mod purchase, to cap an already gratuitous collection of mods that mostly sit on display, a half dozen hanas, 3 billet boxes, a wizard, semovar, etc. Im selling all but my top three that i use a lot, and after the variant, NO MORE ;)

As fast as this industry moves it will probably be old news in 9 months. Technology just does not hold value. I also don't think we consumers should encourage this type of pricing but I am also not one to shame people for spending more than I would. Reward yourself with the money you earn in whatever way floats your boat. If you get satisfaction out of it then go for it.

don't feel bad, I obviously have a problem... mod addiction.

I'm selling half of my collection to justify it.

I was told the Variant was a PWM device... IDK for sure though. However, I do know that I have never been let down with any of their products.

I pulled the trigger last night at midnight. It seems about the right time for a fast.

Imo, the high price is due to the Titanium, a lot of people hear Titanium and it just makes people think of lightweight indestructibility . Is the mod superior to others in any other way that warrants that type of price , good question.

No doubt Titanium is harder to work with and machine and that add's greatly to the cost.

Will the Titanium last longer than the Aluminum , i don't think so , both rugged as hell and lightweight and should last a lifetime . An all Aluminum shell is A Ok with me and has never failed in the past , a hell of a lot cheaper as well.

Now if your talking status symbol and showing off then Titanium will impress more than Aluminum but for practicality , grossly overpriced to me , but i would gladly accept a gift or donation of an all Titanium mod , just wanted to make that clear lol.

Actually, I know a guy who mills all kinds of things, from teeth to machine parts. He tells me titanium isnt really expensive. Don't quote me but i think he said $6 per kg.
His machine mills it like nothing. Of course, he could be just talking.

It certainly is a bad ass mod and a thing of beauty. Definitely some vanity here, but hey, it's part of the love.

If I win the mega millions, this baby is yours; )

I love titanium, with it being so light weight. I've got a couple of titanium tanks & the weight of them has definitely spoiled me. I hate picking up my stainless RBTA's now. I'm considering the new Achilles Ti Rda & I love the look of that mod, but I don't think I could even convince myself to spend that much.... can you convince me? hahaha. How does she vape & feel in your hand?

Your gonna go without food for awhile because you need to get lipo batts and have them soldered with micro dean connectors and get a charging bag for the lipos and a good balance charger.

I didn't have to solder anything. The battery pack I bought had jst connectors that come right off, exposing the metal tips that slide right into the provided micro dean connector (comes with two)

If you didnt solder the micro deans i feel sorry for you because when it blows up your screwed. and this is a why you should know your battery safety before use you should join the vicious ant box mod club and tell them what your telling me because it sounds so unsafe its not even funny

While I can't really say it feels like holding $700, it does feel pretty damn good. She hits like nothing else I've owned (I also have a wizard eveolved, v2 hana, vapor shark, and a zna lite) and she's practically idiot proof.

For example, if your battery and coil can't handle say 150 watts but you try anyway, she'll automatically drop you down to the highest level you can handle. Only tried wattage mode so far, but there's also the standard voltage and a new mode called pulse. There's many other features as well, and the resistance meter reads down to hundredths!

My only complaint really is the lack of any charge port to hook up to. Here she is cooking some ambrosia with an SOV kf dripper conversion:

Thats where industrial size containers of petroleum jelly prove their worth , joint accounts with the GF , not a good idea , not even a good idea with the wife imo . It was a good idea to use it for buying this item though.

Well I had the variant for two days and flipped it for $175 profit. I just didn't like it my Sigelei does the same thing and I never Go above 75watts. I did just order a dna40 for my cana mini. At least that's realistic real world use.

Man i think you made a good decision, the clone will ship next month already. Seriously, wtf? I mean, did VA just give them the prototypes and was like here ya go, and thanks for the licensing fee?

Im not even amazed by mine like i should have been for $700. If you know someone else that wants one that's pristine, and jwrapped since day one, holler...
