I'm sure soon enough we will see more 20700 mods :).
I would really like to see a dual 20700 DNA250/167 mod posted on Shapeways :)
I like 3D printed mods & would like to build a dual 20700 with a DNA250,that could hold a 30mm atty :)

Ya I'm not in to chip mods I have a rx300 I use as a ohm checker and building table but that's about it

No offence taken dude :) 26650's aren't the answer! You mite think so, cause there so big but there only marginally better than an 18650 :( I have 1 26650 mod & am quite disappointed with that configuration :(

Ya I did not like my 26650 and 250$ mcv kingpin 140$ silver upgrade......

The Ijoy 26650 is a pretty nice battery, still have basically unused MNKE, and supposed High current Sony, think it was touted as 50amps at the time, pure garbage... If the Ijoys had been around back in the day the 26650 may have taken off now its kinda too little to late. My 26650 mods are shelved, even though the Ijoys are decent I'll keep using them though in my Slice, and little Pico Mega great battery for those.

My XXX mods are still on schedule to ship end of the week, 4 days from China once it ships, too bad I'm finding mostly OOS on decent 20700, have to dig a little deeper when I get time.

I'm pretty sure Marvery is just a reseller, not a manufacturer. Mine are coming direct from Kindbright. Its difficult, and a bit expensive to shop direct for small quantities on Alibaba many sellers completely ignore single piece requests. If you do find a seller willing to do single pieces 99.9% only ship via DHL and charge additional fees for PayPal/bank transfers.

This is why group buys and places like Fasttech exist. When you buy direct it just does not pay to place small/er orders. The smallest order I've ever had shipped DHL from China was two atomizers at a cost of $18.00.

Typical cost estimate group buy or small purchase.
5 atomizers (RDA) base price varies but we'll say $7.00
5 Tube Mods base price varies as above but we'll say $15.0
DHL Shipping $30.00
bank/paypal fee $6.00

Above is just an estimate but probably within $10 one way or the other.

Places like fasttech are large volume purchasers so they pretty much get the high quantity low cost pricing, have little or no local shipping cost, no bank/paypal fees.

Bottom line for a single mod your best bet is wait and hope for one of the China Vendors to sell it. Or fork over the cash IF it hits Feebay.

On the plus side my latest China DHL package has a 4 day transit estimate, arriving on the 18th!

That may be a tricky one to get, as SOI was very aggressive with closing down the cloners, though not impossible to get, the Shorty & RDAs were difficult to obtain clones. Kindbright was the winner hands down on the Shorty clones but pretty much every listing was pulled for them.

So it won't surprise me if the X clones are tough to find. Mine are supposed to be in that package due the 18th, kinda crazy as the authentic is supposed to start shipping on the 25th from what I've seen at various vendors.

It was relatively difficult, for the same reasons the SOI was. Difficult and impossible are two entirely different things. They were removed from Ebay almost as fast as they were posted, US vendors were pursued and threatened with legal action, they had to remove listings for them. I'm pretty sure I know of a few vendors that still have inventory of them. The place I got mine you had to call them and order over the phone.

Unfortunately like you many were fooled into buying counterfeits. Personally I'm not fond of the SK just tooo big and heavy. But thats personal preference.

I just sold mine a couple weeks ago on another forum, thing was all hype for me.
