News about the New Apollo Stainless steel vtube

[SilentEcho13]

I'm in the same boat lol, minus the screensavers.

The story is actually simple. 2 months ago, the factory said they have stainless steel version vtubes so we placed a big order, but then after 2 weeks they told us the stainless steel is not real stainless steel, instead it is chrome coated. It looks like stainless steel but is not real stainless steel. We told them that is not acceptable because we told our customers that it will be real stainless steel. We give them two options: cancel all our orders or give us real stainless steel vtubes. So the factory has been working really hard to work with their suppliers to fulfill their promise (or remedy their mistake) and produce the stainless steel vtubes for us. The fact is that it is really hard and costly to mass produce the stainless steel vtubes, thus the delays and they will only do it for Apollo! Please understand that we did not intentionally delay the release of stainless steel vtubes. We are doing our best to keep our promise of delivering real stainless steel vtubes.

If one can not wait any longer, we understand it and are always happy to refund your money (even plus some interest if you want).

Now this is what I wanted to hear.... alittle comunication up in here! This explains everything and although it don't put my vtube in my hand any sooner... at least we know the manufacturer has been dickin around apollo and apollo ecigs is on "our" side. For a second there it felt like you guys we're dickin with us the customer. Also I'm sure apollo has incurred some extra costs during this and had to dubble the amount of ss vtubes to make up for it?

Ordering from China always comes with it's drawbacks, I guess this is one of them. I don't blame Apollo for the delay, but these vtubes need to arrive already...lol

Well, then...those of us that ordered the chrome have to wait until the more difficult SS tubes are also ready?

Personally I don't care if its stainless steal...the only reason I ordered the ss vtube is cuz of the design of the top and end cap. Thr original vtub has plastic ends...wich I'm not a fan of. So when I saw the ss one had a ss top I was sold...lol. so lets just cross our fingers that we wont have to wait for the copper ones...lol

Ah master understood, to have patience one must be allowed to practice.....

Ever since I got my lavatube, I wished it was heavier. Now it barely works lol.

I just need this new one to come in already :/

I never owned the regular LT but it did look like it wouldn't weigh much at all. I have my doubts but I'm hoping this thing will be heavy enough to really feel.

I was originally upset with apollo but I can see that you guys are upset with your suppliers as well. Something in that paragraph you wrote makes me believe that you are telling the truth and if you are not I would really like it if you told me I am wrong because I play poker for a living and it would be an embarrassment to my skills.

According to a rep, the SS is noticeably heavier and more solid than the standard aluminum.

Check the previous post, it has been embedded.

 

[SilentEcho13]

Saw it, looks great, whatever little we can see lol

Looks like l-rider has them made, they need to ship already! Can't wait for the next video!

 

[WyldRice]

Thanks for posting the video... but is that chrome or steel?
Some type of close up would have been nice-
Something with the buttons maybe?
Maybe then we could tell if it's a LT or Provari!
just razzin' ya... I'm still in, but this a poor excuse for Video Proof! IMHO... lol

Is it me or is that dude not inhaling? Maybe I'm gonna re-think the DeKang juice I have.....
