Doris and Eleven mailed me at once to say so.
ordered on sept 30th, collecting product since oct 5th, and now results that there is no stock, and the provider don't serve more units, besides of fc has received some bad reviews about the wotofo.
they have offered me the robbot, or a refund asap. got the refund.
will save the money for the sx mini, or the zero, flask vapor.. no big problem

edit: the squape r took long to be shipped as well.. got some issues with the squape v1 (shorts, resistance jumping values, etc.), and it seems the new version also has problems about that.. i wouldn't mind if it was sold out before shipping :p

Oh that sucks :( ... Amod is strange .. usually when there is various qc issues on a new device, you see it in early batches. Wotofo started churning out defective batches in the 3rd and 4th runs. I think they started drinking their own kool aid personally.

Wotofo launched a US based branch this month, and Doris said that every product they have offered her wholesale was actually priced higher than retail :blink: Me thinks Amod Wotofo is going down!

By proper do you mean authentic/expensive or that the clone is available somewhere else? I did a quick Yahoo search but didn't find anything other than one overseas place that said it was coming soon and did not list a price. Cig-Pallas website has it listed and says in stock now (not that that really means anything) so maybe FC will eventually get it.

Doris was actually going to get it from Pallas weeks ago, but they couldn't provide photos of a sample so she didn't get it. I think Pallas was trying to get her to buy before they were actually completed production, which appears to be done now.

I will try to get her to give Pallas another shot, but they ...... her off by telling her that they were instock 3 weeks ago when it really wasn't. Pallas actually pulled this same thing with FC's first order of the Rose V2. Told them it would be ready to ship in 3 days, and didn't actually ship for almost 20 days. :facepalm:

Well after 2 weeks waiting, sorry to say, but I am disappointed by the erl FC dropped today, only a plastic tank and plastic drip tip which you can't change out, don't like the idea of being only stuck with the plastic drip tip, so think I am going to have to pass on it :(

Was hoping it would either come with the drip tip adapter or metal drip tip, but it is what it is.

Don't blame FC, blame Amod .. Doris was fuming last night when I asked her where the hell the Amod Erl clone is .. she said Wotofo keeps giving her the same reply over and over, that it will ship the day after tomorrow, which they have been saying since last week. FC ordered and paid for it weeks ago .. Like I said, Amod Wotofo is going down!

    Yea disappointing, but not at FC, but I am forced to go to that other place I really don't like much, but can get colored tank with drip tip adapter there, I would of foregone the colored tank if the Amod had come with at least the drip tip adapter, but not being stuck with that plastic drip tip though, can't win them all :)

    You should have taken the Robbot, it's awesome :facepalm:
    i agree about its beauty. but it would be my regulated mod for a while, and i want to be able to pair it with every atty. the barely adjustable 510 pisses me off.
    and i don't want to be forced to vape at 12 watts in a 1.4 ohms coil, when i use to do it at 8.5-10 watts..
    the new incoming reg mods are also very nice.

    btw, for every people who had the detail of visiting and liking the page of my mobile/tablet game.. its lift off has been delayed to oct 28th..
    delays, delays, delays.. the time sometimes dilates, sometimes compress, by its own, and we have to dance following the time whims..

    amod doesn't deserve to get success after their behavior with that mod. lies, big lack of information, relax about quality and qc..
    i'm not so sad about not getting it ;)

    My nitecore i4 charger is starting to play up :mad: Sometimes it doesn't charge, no lights come on, other times I put a battery on, and all 3 lights come on to say charged when it is not, been caught out twice now where I thought a battery was fully charged when it wasn't, looks like I am going to have to hunt down a good deal on the new nitecore d4 charger (thanks to Nikki's review on it) , just hope it lasts longer than this i4 (only had 8 months)

    If anyone knows of any good deals, please let me know :)

    Clarification .. THAT IS NOT THE AMOD ERLKONIGIN CLONE .. That is a random, unknown manufacturer Erl clone. The Amod Erl clone still has not shown up.

    If you must have a step down capabilities, then you have to with a Yihi chip for sure .. so I guess wait for the SX mini, but don't forget to save up because its gonna be pricey for sure. The Zero has a DNA 30 style chip so its not going to step down.

    I agree about Amod, I also don't believe they deserve continued success. They are just greedy whoremongers, they don't care about anything except money.

    Ah well .. as long as you get one hun :) I don't even care about the Erl clone much any more. I am in fact disappointed with all of the releases. I feel like they all should have come with a ss tank and clear tank standard. Looking at the clear tanks just doesn't move me at all ... so blah looking to me.

    I am looking forward to the Lancia RDA, its sexy looking, and I am looking forward to the Aris RDA which is on pre-order.

    You should be able to find several links to different vendors from my review honey boo ... I can't remember who they are off the top of my head though :laugh:

    Also check out illumn.com, I think they have it and try the ISPower15 coupon code :D

    Thanks hon, they do have it, but $35 :ohmy:

    But they have the i4 for just $14, and you know how cheap I am ;) so will probably just get another i4 for that price :)

    Nailz, when I was shopping for the D4, the best deals I was finding was on Amazon (like $25-26, free ship with Prime, my nephew's :laugh:). Everybody else was like $34+. Nikki turned me onto Illumn, which had the I4 for $13.49, so went with that (after YOUR recommendation :laugh:), ship is like $6 USPS Priority and there's usually a 10-15% coupon somewhere (I just googled). They also have the Luc V4 for $29.99.

    I would shoot Nitecore an email listed here http://www.nitecore.com/support.aspx?cid=112&id=52 It says it's still under full warranty.
    Knock on wood mine has been working great, now that I said that watch it go POOF! LoL

    You can't expect a super intelligent digital charger to be cheap hun .. Ugh, well the good news, the i4 is almost as good, it just doesn't have the display, or special LiFePo and small capacity battery charging modes.
