I've had a seller do this before. Just a little prep work being done. They created the shipping labels and prepared the packaging so when they do get them in stock, they can just insert, seal, and ship.
Is the in-stock price the same as you paid for a pre-order? When I purchased mine, the pre-order was $30.99 and the in stock one was $35.99. The $5 premium was worth it for me because my MVP was really starting to act funny.
Figured out something interesting over the last few days. I had been complaining of my terrible battery life compared to what most of you all are getting. I was getting about 8 hrs max here recently. I also have been slowly reducing my nicotine level. When I received my istick I was down to 2mg and I do diy so I finally took it down to 0 MG . I Wasn't getting the same satisfaction and I have to pay smoker rates on my insurance premiums anyway so I said the heck with it and went back up to 5mg here the last few days. Well since that move my battery life is now almost double. As I had stated hundreds and hundreds of post back I always seem to take a 8 to 10 second draw but I was doing it often. I'm probably still doing long draws but not near as often because I'm getting my nic fix now and I can finally make it thru a full day on one overnight charge. Just thought I'd share this in case someone else may have a similar experience with their battery.
To be fair, of the thousands of Isticks out there, the problem comes up in a very small percentage. Even if it lasts me only a few months, it's well worth the price, IMO.
I just received 2 days of shipping notices from USPS on a product that was delivered yesterday. So it is probably USPS.
Pretty sure I saw an O-ring under the pin as well when I inserted the new one in there. Dunno where people are getting this caulking thing from. I didn't even take the old one out.

28ga Kanthal
Thanks, any particular place that you buy yours and what grade of kanthal? And wick materials?
I just ordered the istick and an Igo w. I've been vaping for over two years but never done any rebuilding so I asked about wire recommendations in the RBA section but it doesn't look too active right now, could anybody make a wire recomendation for a beginner?

I would use 30 ga or even 32 ga, to be able to build a dual coil and remain above the 1.0Ω limit on the iStick.
I got both from Amazon myself, cost was around $15 shipped with prime membership.Thanks, any particular place that you buy yours and what grade of kanthal? And wick materials?
I've taken 3 Isticks apart thus far, and all of them have a silicon insulator, it is crap, but it is present. The silicon goop is not all there is to the 510 center pin insulator.
A little chewed up, but clearly present.

Love the istick with my nautilus mini! Gives me that little bit more that the MVP2 couldn't give.
