I'm still patiently waiting on the Zenith.
The one thing I have noticed with almost all the pre-orders I have been involved with, and also pre-orders I have followed, is that a majority of them are always delayed from the projected delivery date. I have many hobbies and I don't think that I have seen an industry where its customers accepts such lengthy delays.
After my last 4 orders have been delayed (APO rda, Hana mod clone, Zenith v2, Copper Quasar) I have come to the conclusion that once I receive my missing orders (Zenith v2, Copper Quasar), I am not going to deal with Pre-orders anymore. Manufacturers need to do a better job with predicting their delivery date. They need to under promise and over deliver, instead of the other way around. This problem should not be tolerated by the customers, so that manufacturers appropriate the proper equipment and labor to complete their orders by deadline. As it is right now, they have all the pre-order money and they seem like it is ok just delay their order fulfillments.
I really do appreciate the the updates that you have provided. You are the only vendors, out of many, that I have pre-ordered something from and has actually kept me informed during the whole process. This helps put everybody more at ease when seeing the delivery date from the manufacturer just keep getting pushed further and further into the future, while they have already paid for their product. The only way to keep your mind sane during the wait is to go through trust vendors (such as Ikenvape) because they are not going to take your money and run for the hills.
