In my experience, calling them and talking to a live person gives the same information, sometimes less.

Yeah - I never expect miracles.

I did call once before on a delayed package, spoke to a person, and the package was somehow found that day - not sure if they called the PO and asked them to look for it or what but it seemed to have a positive effect.

I did get an update on my Tsunami today - it went back to the Pontiac PO. So it's gone something like this, so far:

Arrived in Detroit
Sent to Pontiac
Arrived in Pontiac
Sent back to Detroit
Arrived in Detroit
Sent back to Pontiac
Departed Pontiac

I don't live in Detroit or Pontiac. I'm kind of in between. Hell, I'd happily go pick it up if they would just keep it in one place for a day.

Finally got to play with this thing cause I've been on the road all week & it came after I left Monday. This thing is really good quality and vapes very nice. This is the first bottom air atty I've used & I really like the flavor it produces! I put in a quick dual coil 24ga 3mm coming in at .26. It looks nice on my GP PAPS v4.

I have had numerous USPS shipments with no updated tracking information for 4 days or so just suddenly show up. Don't give up!

I know, and I don't mind waiting, just don't like when delivery goes sideways.

Anyway - just got a notice that mine is officially out for delivery. :)

I'm tempted to cancel my pre-order since I have the NoPity & every time I drip unless I'm super careful I get e-juice out of the air intakes. Are you guys finding the same issue with the Tsunami?

I have the same concerns with any bottom air RDA. I had a couple of Mutation XV4s and no matter what I did they leaked - even with the plugs installed in the bottom holes. Those are loooong gone.

I never like to work too hard with my stuff. I got rid of a Freakshow for the same reason. If it leaks at all with minimal care on my part, I move on quickly.

I've been Dripping about 15 drops straight down through the Driptip & haven't had any leaking yet.
Will have to change my ways when i get my Tsunami . I drip half a dropper or more down the center of my Velocity, never count drops anymore, just dump. No leaking for me though :)

Mine has arrived. Just opening the box I am quite impressed with the kit. Atty feels solid, nice machining, nice pack of spares, chuff tip, 510 adapter and two additional tips. If it vapes half as good as it looks, I'll be thrilled.

Looking at this and the Avocado, I am very impressed at the price point - both are value packed.

I think Geek Vape has to be the company to keep up with lately. Everything I've gotten from them has exceeded my expectations!

I could not agree more. They seem to be setting the bar very high for affordable attys. My Avocado is a finely machined thing of beauty for under 30 bucks. And the Tsunami compares more than favorably to the Subzero I picked up yesterday. I am very impressed with the Tsunami and the a price is 30% lower than the Subzero.

That is a nice combo - looks made for each other. I want to put my Tsunami on my stainless SMPL mod clone, but would have to remove my Avocado to do it, so I'm having a crisis here. ;)

While I really like what Geek Vape is doing it decided to cancel my Tsnaumi for now. If Roscoe does a bottom fed version I'll give it a shot but I think I'm just not a steady handed enough dripper to deal with bottom air.
This is my first bottom airflow atty & it hasn't leaked on me yet. I've just been dropping about 15 drops straight down through the Driptip.

Got it too but i dont think its worth the hype :)
It vapes good for sure.

The well is too small in my opinion. Would be nice to get a bottomfeed pin for it.
Also I don´t think the quality is that good. It just doesn´t feel/look that well made.

If I overdrip I can see the juice in the airflow slot from outside but hasn´t leaked out yet, just take a vape and juice comes back to chamber.

what about yours makes it feel not well made?
I am curious, because I have a pre-release version, and it was very well made, machining was spot on, etc..
If you are having trouble with juice capacity, maybe thin your wick tails out some more....I can fit 15-20 drops in it (depending on drop size), which is pretty good..not the best, but above average....and that is pre-release version with the raised center portion

But I definitely agree a bottom feed pin would be nice!

Not really sure why I feel that way.

Topcap is really thin, positive post is not straight.
I guess its good enough for the price.

I think i have been spoiled by aeronauts big well.
