£400 for a copper tube?

It's "worth" whatever somebody will pay for it, IMHO not that, yes it looks well made and nice but not that nice!! But put "exclusive", "competition" or a few other nice marketing words in front of a product and stick a high price on it and there is always somebody that will pay it these days whether its any good or not, that goes for anything not just vape gear some very big companies have made a massive amount of money from quality marketing rather than quality products!!

Indeed - it's worth what people will pay for it.

IMO - so much vaping stuff is overpriced; from Juice to Mods to Tanks. It gets to a certain price point where NOTHING will make a difference to the quality of your vape. The only idiosyncrasy is aesthetics - and that... is what people pay for in this piece of sculpted metal.

But not me.

Wow.

Whoever is paying this for that needs a knock on the head. That's frightening that people might be paying that for a printed tube. Again, wow.

The words Bespoke, premium, hand crafted come to mind, some people go for it and others smile and think the truth is these words mean expensive or high profit. I do get there's always overheads but there's a fair profit and there's taking the michael
Yes if a device is hand made like a custom mod then fair enough I agree its hand crafted more than something mass produced. in truth a lot of things are made by machines that have been set up to mass produce, whether that be tube mods, liquids or stuff thats none vape related. Look at tube mods they are cut and measured precisely etc by machines a hand may feed the machine and operate it so again the mind has actually thought and designed it which makes it mindcrafted.
