I'm hoping they come in today. I keep giving mine away to help people. I still have a few left though.

If you are looking to give one away I would gladly send one back when they are available. I have turned this quit smoking thing into a hobby and being an engineer anyway I just love gadgets,,,hint hint.

yeah its frustrating... but aside from ripping them out of the factories hands there is not much for us to do but take them at their word.... as we have not dealt with them before :(

Our new exclusive version with our factory will be shipping on the 23rd if all goes well :)

Starting to sound like the ones you're designing will get here first LOL!

they were held up unfortunately due to QC issues :( we are promised they will ship today...this factory is not that great to deal with unfortunately.

YIKES! Nethier of those statements are very confidence inspiring. So when will the new SI desinged ones be coming down the pipe? I'm really digging the new X2 Clearomizers so much I think I will just buy a few more of those, Oh and the one that was leaking I decided to take apart (sorry I can't help it) and I reassembled it making sure to tighten it up well and it don't leak anymore. :)

nope they told us they would ship on the 10th or 11th ...then we could not get a hold of them until last night :( when they told us they have not shipped yet.... they are claiming a QC issue... so we are giving them the benefit of the doubt
I thought they shipped last week. Was that something else imagine

If they're telling the truth, I'm happy that they are doing a better job of QC. Their initial poor QC has been about the only downside to these.

Maybe they hired the inspector

Realizing of course you pretty much have to take a new supplier at their word (at least the first time) but having been in charge of New Supplier Development for a Major Aerospace company for the last 10 years of my career the standard excuse for late shipments is to blame QC. Final Inspection is not Quality Control it's merely an indicator of a process that's out of control and requires defect sorting at the end of the process thus preventing bad product from reaching the customer, in theory at least . Quality Control is an unnecessary added cost to a company that does not practice Quality Assurance which happens at the beginning of the process making Quality Control a convenient excuse. We taught the Chinese well and Thank God I'm retired. No wonder I was a 2 pack a day smoker when I was working. My condolences to all involved at SI purchasing.

little birdhouse in your soul
I bought more clearos today, wasnt my first choice and I wasn't really excited about the purchase but........you can't take it with you (the money or the clearos :)

If you just want to "try" juices, Mr. Outlaw has a quick video on how to make a carto a tester. Although I haven't tried it with juice yet, getting the caro ready wasn't hard - you just remove the filler and wash it out, let it dry.
