    they will hang on to one for weeks and then release it with no problems-
    then another time - they release within days----

    it really is a game of Canada Cat and Mouse up there--

    2 orders, -----------
    1st one -- 3 weeks ago still sitting in Canada Customs-
    2nd one --- last week is already delivered and she is vaping it-

    GO FIGURE !!!!!

    there is no rhyme nor reason to it--
    absolutely luck of the draw----------
    I order a lot online and Canada post is the worst for tracking packages, FedEx is the best. About 75% of the time the web site will still say it's in transit and yet the package is in my hands and sometimes for days before Canada post updates the tracking info. It's like a package I received today through Canada post the web site still says "Item accepted at the Post Office" and yet I'm sitting here vaping my JC juice.

    I've never had a problem with customs I've only ever had one package sit in customs for more then a day. They normally clear customs within a few hours.

    Default No more teasing.

    The first thing I must say is charge your batteries!This will make a big difference in your first impression.As I said before fit and finish is excellent.Packaging is compact and protective.Once your batteries are charged and you load up your favorite cart and atty combo you might notice that there is no spring in the bottom of the unit.This is by design.The 18350 batteries fit well and seem to last a long time(still using batt #1).There was a glitch at first,tightened the unit all the way down and no fire.Loosened it a 1/4 turn and vaped like a champ.I believe this is a break in feature and will wear in as time and use progress.The button is crisp and easy to operate,very positive click when depressed.The extended cup is of equal fit and finish and has a spring to accomodate the 18650 or two 16340 batts.I was worried that the smaller diameter batteries would rattle around inside the case but it didn't happen.Six volts works very well with this and no adjustment or fiddling is necessary.The 18650's are the same with a manufacturer rating of 3000 mah!Can't wait to try out the HV atties when they arrive.All in all this device met all expectations and more.The adapters make atty switching a breeze and the packaging doubles as a nice storage unit(not that you'll be storing this much).Any qeustions?

    So Solitary, is the button a tact switch or a contact button/switch? If it's a tact switch, that makes me sad already, since tact switches rarely provide longevity. Which means my commercial mod would eventually need to be self modded once the switch goes out. Other than that, I'm glad your liking the device. It appears someone else had gotten theirs and not so happy with it in the stickied Indulgence thread.(fingers crossed that they posses an anomaly.)

    The switch feels mechanical but that piece of the unit is sealed at both ends.I beleive Di could answer that one better than I,with what has been stated about the unit on this forum it should be mech,no wires or solder connections is what I remember reading.

    Thanks, I'm only making an assumption based on the poster that was unimpressed with the item, in which he/she made mention of a tact switch. Nevertheless, still looking forward to receiving this item to add with the rest of my toys.

    Seven- The fist pack was a flop. Although I still have one working. The battery pack itself has proved to be unreliable, 1 out of 6 are in working condition. Even with sealing all points of possible liquid entry to the electronics, they still fail after a while. So I stuck with my flashlight mods and custom resin kits.

    Did you make your own or buy them?

    Yes, nothing special. The Fist pack mentioned by Seven, was a mobile battery charger that had been slightly modified with a 901 connector and the others with a 4081 connector and a switch. It was a great concept and worked great while it lasted. Had a battery status checker, rechargeable and can be used while recharging and most of all, charge a device while using or share the power via pass thru to a buddy.

    Sorry to go off topic,

    Thank you for the confirmation. Anticipation is back on track and full force. Not sure whether to thank you or be mad at you for that.
