Hello Bigboss!! How are you all doing? I hope you're always healthy and that all your activities go smoothly!
Exactly on Wednesday, November 25, 2020, the R233 King Of Clouds limited edition electrical box mod device was officially launched and sold at Vapeboss Pangsud Surabaya. On this day (11/25/2020), the queue to buy the mod reached 180 people, and continued until the store closed.
Beyond the queue, the R233 KOC mod has indeed been phenomenal over the past few months. After the King Of Clouds event organized by Vapeboss, Hotcig, JVS, and Steam Queen Juice Indonesia, many netizens have been wondering and waiting for this mod to be released.
So why is this mod so phenomenal? The reason behind the R233 KOC edition mod's boom is that only 2000 units of this mod were sold in Indonesia, and not everyone can own one. Just like its predecessors, the R233 Garuda Engrave and R233 Steam Queen Juice edition, the R233 KOC also has a Serial Number (SN) which makes most people scramble to get an SN with a beautiful number. Although the market for the R233 KOC is the same as its predecessors, there is something that makes a difference: among the 2000 units sold, the R233 KOC is available in 2 colors, purple and black.
Furthermore, another thing that makes this mod phenomenal is that some people who have bought the R233 KOC and coincidentally got an SN with a beautiful number, which was previously targeted by others. Of course, incidents like this make people who were previously targeting those SN numbers and were unlucky or didn't get one, scramble for the SN and offer high prices to the person who already bought it. So, how high is the offered price? According to news circulating on social media, the highest offered price reached 2.5 million rupiah!
Due to the mod's phenomenon, among the 180 people in line, not only were there people from Surabaya, but also from major cities in East Java such as Malang, Batu, Kediri, Blitar, and others. People from outside Surabaya were certainly willing to sacrifice their time to get this R233 KOC.
During the R233 KOC launch queue, the Vapeboss team interviewed people from Blitar City, namely Naufal and Afrizal, who were willing to travel all the way from their city to Surabaya just to get the R233 KOC.
When the Vapeboss team asked when Naufal and Afrizal left Blitar and arrived in Surabaya, they answered,
"We left Blitar around 10 PM, then arrived in Surabaya at 2 AM. At 2 AM, we messaged Vidi from Vapeboss to ask for recommendations on where to stay in Surabaya. Vidi recommended staying at a friend's or relative's house here. Since Afrizal happened to have a relative here, we ended up staying at Afrizal's relative's house."
Then after that answer, the Vapeboss team asked again, why R233 KOC specifically, and their answer was quite surprising,
"We've been in love with the Hotcig R233 product for a long time, and we even joined its community, called Team Hotcig Blitar. Previously, we had already bought the R233 SQJ edition, but because the KOC one is so cool in terms of color and design, our desire to buy another one immediately went up. Coincidentally, we also had some extra money, so we bought it too. We see ourselves as collectors, not resellers, sir, haha," Naufal and Afrizal replied with a slight laugh.
After the brief interview was over, they also conveyed greetings to the Vapeboss team and hoped for an even cooler new product launch in the future.
The R233 King Of Clouds limited edition is priced at only 490 thousand rupiah, and you can visit the nearest Vapeboss retail store to buy it. What's clear is that you always have to pray to get it because this unit is limited, and only lucky people can get it.
That's all the news for today. I hope you are among the lucky ones!
