I placed my order with Evape on 1/10. It's now night of 1/13, and I'm still staring at a Shipping Label Created status at the USPS tracking site.
Update: hold the presses. I made an order on 1/10 and one on 1/11. The 1/11 is flowing. Maybe they merged the orders for me into one.
To be continued.

I ordered 2 five packs of BVC coils for 14.66 shipped today. What a great price. If interested, make sure you enter code: 40coil

Don't forget to mention....
These new and improved BVC replacement heads are designed to fit the Aspire BDC line of products including the Aspire ET-S Bottom Dual Coil (BDC), Aspire ET (BDC), Aspire Vivi Nova-S (BDC), Aspire Mini Vivi Nova-S (BDC), Aspire CE5-S (BDC), and Aspire CE5 (BDC).
NOT FOR use with the Nautilus, Nautilus Mini, and certainly not the Atlantis. It's also ironic that Smoktech also has a Viva Nova tank series suggesting one tank with two brands as usual.
Thanks for the heads up. I was so excited about the price, I just went right in and ordered them without looking that close. I surely won't be able to use them. Well, I'll just have to send them back and order the correct ones.
Here's the correct url for the Nautilus replacement coils...

I hope this is the correct place for this question and I did try searching the forums and this thread as well for an answer but got nothing. On the Istick 30w the grooves for the bending adapter are on the opposite side of the threads(in the middle) so I'm assuming it wouldn't work, any ideas if they plan to make a special one just for the 30w? Every other version they're on the edge, even the 50w. 
It's not a deal breaker, just would be a nice option for when carrying it around in a bag.

Those grooves are for airflow with any tanks that might intake air from the bottom of the tank; it has nothing to do with the bendy adapter. It will fit just fine.
Hmm, based an a video I saw of the adapter they said the grooves were used for the adapter (the adapter had two things that stuck out so that it would fit down into them and not slide around.) I would think without it sitting down in them the thing could be turned around too easily. But I don't own an Istick or the bender so I have no clue lol

Yeah you may be right about that. And just before I saw your post, I was about to add to my previous post that although the bendy might attach properly to the 30watt, it may not allow the tank to fold because of the extended lip on the 30w, depending on the clearance of the hing on the bendy.
Yeah that's why I'm thinking maybe they will make a special one just for the 30w so it can bend over the other side...but if I could still get the adapter to fit and since it wont be going into the grooves I could always just turn it and fold it over the wider side, unless the lip sticks out that way too.
Either way it's not a deal breaker. I just need to decide if I want to get the 30w or 50w...I do like the extra smallness of the 30...would LOVE the mini if they came out with an updated version.

Looks like you're right. Good catch! It won't bend in that direction.
I don't see any reason for them changing the direction of the air flow channels. Other than looks.

Yeah, I guess though like MORTIS e said, with the extended lip the adapter probably wouldn't fold over anyways :/ Ugh, I just wish they would come out with an updated mini..
I don't think there's any way they can make a bendy to fold on the opposite side; perhaps only one with an extended hing length to clear the front lip.
I'm pretty sure the lip on the side protrudes out too far as well.

I'm glad they moved the grooves to the opposite side, for as you say 'looks'. Much cleaner appearance mated up to the larger tanks.

Maybe they would have to make the top cap thicker for air channels pointing away from the device?
I still think Eleaf's primary purpose for the bending adapter was ultimately an easy way to deal with the threading issues many were having; a solution, btw, that Eleaf made a profit on... This, says the pessimist in me.
I recently bought the smok m50 but after it arrived I felt is was slightly too thick and big. One part of me thought I was just over thinking because I used to have the istick 20 until it croaked on me. I threw it away so I couldnt compare. Anyways I recently ordered the istick 30 watt and it was confirmed. The istick really got their dimensions right. It just FEELs perfectly small and even though the m50 is only sllliiightly larger, it feels too big. Here is a picture of them side by side. SO happy with the istick 30. The pin feels GREAT. The istick 20 pin with my spheroid left a gap, but the new one sits flush. Just lovely!!

If you put a BVC coil in an Aspire Vivi Nova-S BDC tank would it be the same as an Aspire Vivi Nova BVC tank?

No, I've said the same thing before. It was a well disguised fix, but it was a fix. And it's a cool feature if it works for you.. I don't fault them for that.
