Anybody had any thing other than a shipping # from Artemus yet?

Nope, nothing. Received an email with a shipping notification Friday. I checked with postal website and it hasn't even been given to them for shipment. I have sent emails everyday since Saturday to Artemus and have not received any reply. This will be the last time I do business with this seller. Terrible!

I sent them an e-mail and got a response in an hour. They sent out a shipment over the weekend and more this week. They don't know why it wasn't scanned at the PO.

I haven't received anything other than the tracking number either. USPS is only showing that pre-shipment info has been received. :glare:

Same here. Got to admit though, I have had this happen a few times before. Item showed up in my mailbox, and that same day, all the tracking info appears, including, item delivered notice.

I too have seen this happen before, but it is usually an anomaly. In this case, it seems that everyone is getting the same status...I'm inclined to believe that it is not a USPS issue this time. I wouldn't put it past a vendor to do this to buy themselves a few extra days...

Thanks for the info KTM. I am glad they got back to you. Hopefully, we should start seeing them in our mailboxes soon.

Yep, the fact that it's happened to all of us is very suspicious. I have a hard time believing that USPS didn't scan ANY of our packages...

I was able to get the nut out last night but still could not get the other parts out. Went to try and put it back together and could not get the nut back in. It was pressed into the insulator. Got to the point of almost throwing it in the trash but just set it aside. Gonna tackle it this weekend when I have more patience and time to mess around with it. Also thinking of grinding down some of the threads on the top so it doesn't leak when I fill it.
 
Been looking through the posts, and haven't found what I'm looking for yet. I've got the Tobeco Kayfun V4 and the RobotTech Kayfun V4...both vape really well, but the RobotTech V4, when I put it on an ohm meter, the reading is all over the place... jumping from 1 ohm to 8 ohms, and just all over the place in general. The Tobeco V4 reads the same whether it's on a mod, or on the ohm meter. When I put the RobotTech V4 on a mod, it reads and vapes just fine. What could be causing this?

If it was sent First Class and not priority you won't get updates very well. Priority is a better way to go but when they offer First class free it's tempting. Priority has $50 insurance included 1st class doesn't.

The one I bought off eBay was sent regular old standard mail, I got updates the entire way. STILL no sign of my Artemus KF, 2 weeks to the day after I ordered it. I really wanted to get the 4Nine clone they have on sale but no way in hell will I ever give them business after this..

Wow, that sucks. I ordered the 4nine from Artemus last Sunday shipped Monday and ordered the KF4 from them on Tuesday and shipped yesterday.
