I got an email from the us dist of the Fenix, pointed them to this thread, specifically Dr. Vape's invoice posted; and was told they could do a similar deal for me if I call them directly and speak to them. This was from an email I didn't have time to reply to late October...not sure if the deal is still possible, but this was after the whole thread discussion here about how the price was going north of $100 & EDIT wouldn't get resupplied at orig selling price.
Not sure what price that would be, I told them I'd be interested in 10 (thinking of it as a disposable that I'll give multiple copies of to a few friends & keep 4 for myself), as since these are so much less expensive than a Crafty, which you have to do the hassle of RMA's, 2 for me so far...resulting in me being unprepared and having to use a pipe for the 1st time in years...damn that was harsh/nasty shit on the throat/lungs.
With the Fenix, when it invariably breaks/fails, no prob, just toss it; go to the other backup copies. Only thing I would miss is the dosing capsules I find invaluable for the utility of changing preloaded dosing capsules, when I do dual capsule sessions before the battery goes dead. My tolerance is so high, I just have to use two loaded capsules, ground herb, sandwich some ice wax & rosin + terp sap. Now if we could find dosing capsules for the Fenix, then I'd be set.
Now all we need is cheap Grasshopper clones that we can toss when they break, instead of putting up with the ridiculous failure rate on the GH(I don't believe the latest assurances from the monthly newsletter from HL)
