Me too. I ordered yesterday morning and they had shipped it by the afternoon. My black chrome is going to backup status.
Did these come with the stainless buttons from vapor bank? They do not have a picture posted and if I get blue buttons in gonna strangle something.

Thanks I really need something that can measure ohms and is variable. I Also really like the ability to change battery sizes. It also (for you provari evangelists) doesn't have to be bullet proof since I've got a silver bullet for when the zombies come. Smash zombies heads in and then enjoy a nice vape. Thanks for the quick response I'm ordering one now!

I ordered one, hope it has metal buttons and is solid...Already put a couple dents in my black chrome model
Thanks for this! Was waiting for a US vendor. Worst case..if the buttons are not metal I will rip them out of the black chrome one I have, lol.
I bought my black chrome one from them a few weeks ago and the buttons were metal, so I'm sure these are as well.
Received mine today and it has the metal buttons. Very nice looking...much nicer than the black chrome. Although the BC would have looked nice if the finish stayed on.
I like the black chrome.... but here are my issues (luckily my finish hasnt rubbed off)
1. fingerprint magnet. cant stand it....
2. slippery.... but i expected it
3. not many mods match it. i havnt found any mods i use that match black chrome. aga-t and vivi nova are what i use now.
I did see a dct carto 6ml tank that was gun metal...but I dont use carto tanks.

I ordered mine yesterday from VaporBank.
I expect to receive it around Wednesday or Thursday, and the SS finish is what I was waiting for. I miss my Provari's, but I have a good feeling this will be a decent mod that I won't have to worry about.

Got mine today. Works great but the bottom cap won't thread on it in 18350 mode. I'm going to see if can fix it before I send it back.

Got mine today. I have the same problem as you filletminion. The bottom cap screw wont screw on trying to set up with a single 18350. It does have the metal buttons and it does remember the watts setting when the battery is removed. Also no rattle using an efest 18650. Has the bigger spring already installed. If you find a fix...please post. I submitted a ticket with vapor bank to see what they say.

I have a BC VAMO from smoktek and my SS just arrived today from them. It has the better spring, my BC is different and weaker. The SS has no problem screwing on in "350" mode. But if it did I would just use a tap & die set and re-do all the threads to match.
filletminion,
Taking a closer look at the threads, it appears the threats on mine were "flattened" when the bottom tube was installed. The threads on the bottom of the bottom tube are sharp, while the threads on the unit are more round. Tried to take a pic but cant get a good enough close up. I think the pitch of the threads are the same. The biggest die I have is a 19mm and it looks to be 20mm. I think if you could find the correct die you could clean up the threads and it would be alright. Not sure though as the thread lenght is not very long. Dont know if you could get the die on far enough to do any good. You could try running the die on it backwards...but you better have it straight or it would just peal the threads off. Looks like they might have to go back. That kind of sucks.

I'd give it a couple of days and see if this can be fixed with a new cap. I know the guys at VB are working on getting this sorted out as quickly and easily as possible.
Yeah the thing is I shouldn't have to get a die to fix something I bought. I'm not upset these things happen. I'm sure that they will take care of it even if it means shipping back the unit for a new one. I would think that sending out replacement caps would be less of a hassle but I will see what they say.

Another US supplier is: eGo Variable Volt/Watt APV V2
They are in Austin, TX and are forum suppliers here o ECF.
Keep in mind, new orders won't ship until the 8th/9th of this month, though. They had a 40% off coupon (40PercentOffECF), but I'm not sure if it's still valid or expired. Got mine for $40.95 shipped.

Just got home. Had a reply from Vapor Bank. They are definitely standing behind the product and are working to rectify the problem. This is my first dealings with this vendor...but it wont be the last. This issue has nothing to do with them as it is a manufacturing issue and will probably show up with many other vendors as well. These things happen. "Quality control" and "Made in China" usually dont go together too often. I dont think a different end cap will solve the problem. The threads on the main body are the ones that look to have some damage. It looks like they were damaged when the bottom tube was installed to the unit. I think a die might clean them up, But the threads are not a standard size. Looks like 20mm X 1.0. Probably would have to take it to a machine shop to have it repaired. But as I said before, no worries as Vapor Bank is going to take care of it.
