I just bought the mod I wanted in my favorite color for $50.

Months ago, while I was struggling, and because lack of address and stable housing prevented me from ordering online, I replaced that mod at a local vape store.

They "ordered" the mod for me then. Two weeks late. In the wrong color. Then the guy at the store tried to "show" me how to set it up, breaking one of my two OEM coils. Then he charged me $120. That was with the first-time customer discount.

I still don't know how I didn't lose my mind from the constant predation I couldn't avoid while out of work and homeless.
