That's not really nice for sure. Increasing the price is not nice for the buyers, for sure. As a company, they probably have their reasons for doing it.
Fortunately, I didn't have to deal with warranty yet.
That is because of international tax laws. If I buy directly from Maxtoch, customs (PostNL) will charge me 21% VAT PLUS a handling fee, before it will be delivered to me. Ali will charge VAT, but no handling fee.
I emailed maxtoch, long tube is not compable with e-switch head.
Also they use cslnm1.tg over culnm1.tg because it tested better for them. Maybe it’s the slightly cooler temperature.
I’ll be ordering one once I finish testing the fireflies t9r, maybe that driver will be able to match this model’s seemingly perfect thermal sustain.
I reached out to Maxtoch to see what the discount code will be. Currently, there are not yet enough paricipants to get anything close to below $100 unfortunately.
And since there is a holiday goig on in China, I expect to hear back in a couple of days.
