Gorgon I try not to bother getting upset about the prices. I see a lot of the Asmodus and other mods I paid full price for on sale for almost 1/2 of what I paid for it.
I figure it’s a hobby and just like a lot of collectibles it’s not an investment although it would be nice to be able to get my money back.
Who knows - with the way things are in this country- these mods may end up being worth something after all since it’ll be hard to get a decent mod.
So I’ll just enjoy them and take good care of them as I usually do.
Some items do appreciate a lot. Sometimes we do not even expect it. When my wife was a little girl she had these porcelain Japanese dolls. They cost nothing, even back then given inflation. She sold them in the 80's for thousands. Some Mods also appreciate but usually not the mass produced Chinese ones. Although if anything did I imagine it would be a YIHI.
Sara, you have a Knight? I thought you were low on money LOL? I have 2 of them. Never use them. I do not really like them. There is a SX580J already anyways. In fact it has been out for a while now. I am not sure if they have an even newer one yet? The Knight is an okay Mod but way overpriced IMO. Stabwood Mods UK has a good price on them. Again, if he has what anyone wants I appreciate if you order from Phil. He is truly a good guy. He lost thousands throwing away all his JM Mods because the quality was so poor. It was me through Evolv that pointed it out to him. He is beyond honest. He said he will not put his name behind junk. Plus he promptly replaced two DOA Mods in a row! Someone else just as well may have blamed it on me. He just said no problem at all! There are not a lot of people in this business like him. Other than people I have a long standing relationship with so they know I am not full of shit. Things are rarely DOA though, just my luck. Luckily he did not mind at all. Phil is one heck of a good guy. So I want to repay him sending him as much business as I can. He even trusted me so much He shipped the new Mods before I shipped the old ones back! Very rare indeed. He deserves as much business as I can get him. Plus it is in everyone's best interest to do business with someone so honest and trustworthy anyways. Not to mention his prices are mostly beyond fair. He does not have much, but if he has what you want please do not hesitate to order from him. I know it sounds like I am kissing his Butt. Indeed I am! Phil deserves me to Kiss his Butt after all He has done for me!
I love Phil and talk him up ALL the time over at ECF!
I did buy a Knight and I love it!!! I’ll take some pics and post later.
I ended up being VERY fortunate to find out not only will my dental care be ENTIRELY covered but I because of a IRS mix up I ended up getting waaay more back as initially thought. Thank god for good CPAs!!
This goes back to 3 years and I finally got what was owed to me that the IRS tried to screw me out of. So case closed. Check deposited. And most of the “extra” money spent on vape mods and some kitchen upgrades!!
As I said previously, I’m sure I could’ve had a couple of beautiful custom mods made like Mannys gorgeous ones but for my own “peace of mind” I’d rather spend more money (probably quite a bit more) on a known manufacturer from a business with an A Plus reputation in case something goes wrong.
Usually that’s how my luck goes so I didn’t want to push it lol!!
I’m really excited about the Knight and I a bought a G Class too. Even though it’s a few years older model- I’ve wanted one for a long time so when I found a decent deal on the only one I wanted I had to grab it. It’s the black one with gold buttons. I’d been looking for awhile but always just found the Kevlar or plainer leather ones.
I’m using it right now with a gold Loop 1.5 on it right now and I couldn’t be happier playing with it. I was just setting up custom curves using the Bluetooth feature.
I thought that was possibly a silly feature but since I rarely have access to a PC it actually works out perfectly!!!
I think my latest spending spree maybe done except for picking up a couple of extra Zeus single coil RTAs. I don’t use many RTAs. Mostly RDAs so when I found one I love them I want to get a couple extra. I have a few of the Zeus Xs but the original single coil one is my favorite for flavor. I have about 10 aftermarket bubbleglass tanks I bought when I originally bought the Zeus. It’s getting really difficult to find the authentic single coil ones now so I’ve been grabbing them when I can find them.
As for RDAs I have about 30 or more with just a few doubles because I love RDAs waaay more than RTAs and it’s easier to find great flavored RDAs imo.
Other than that I’m trying to stay cool during this miserable heat wave.
@MannyScoot must be suffering terribly. Hope the “wind” driving his bike helps.
I rode for quite awhile and thought riding in the heat with the engine heat just torture lol!!
Gorgon- hope you’re feeling ok and doing well.
I can’t seem to upload pics AGAIN. keeps saying file is too large. This happens all the time regardless of application. I’ll try using Imgur later.

I’m sure why most of my pics are too large files. Really a pita.
