man, i remember being in this coop when it was started almost 2 years ago (i think it was august 2011, altho my memory is horrible). i opted for the kronos box mod and the top fed genesis lv. i remember it took a super long time to get the atty, and when i finally got it (i think i waited a year or something crazy) it was a full on disappointment....terrible quality in construction (hot glue holding the insulators in). at that point i decided to email tai and ask for a refund on the kronos, so glad i did, and also glad he was willing.

a lot has changed in the vaping world, especially after almost 2 years!! not even sure this kronos box is relevant in anyway at all anymore.

i hope y'all can either get your money back or eventually get these things...i wouldve lost hope long ago. this "coop" seems like the most drawn out scam ever. i think its safe to say that everyone got ripped off after waiting 2 years...i dont care what tai and the coop peeps are saying, and even if you do end up with this "kronos." whatever they turn out will never be worth a 2 year wait...unless its a super deluxe vv/vw/spaceship/gold spinning light saber.

Jed, i remember when you asked about a timeline and some updates a good long time ago and got some pretty grumpy responses. not sure if youve heard anything more.

anyway, just thoughts, prolly dumb and pointless...but thoughts non-the-less. i just feel really bad for all the peeps still involved and with their money tied up in this BS.

only what Uwe posted on 3/29.....it has been frustrating not having any definite timelines, sorta reminds me of the story of the airline pilot who was clueless as to where he was headed but reassured the passengers to not worry they were making fantastic time....

Read post 787!

We are waiting to get the SMD assembled PCB's back. Than we start the final assembly.
To give a time line is not possible because that depends on the free time the active members have for the assembly and there are a lot to do.

A lot changed in the vaping world in the meantime. But we don't have old technique. The development from Raidy is still up to date and I think you don't expect a project with items like ProVari, VMax or SMax. That will never come because alone the development of the software and hardware will cost more than 30.000 EUR.

The box Kronos was not an easy development. If we took a standard plastic box the project had been already finished for a long time. Might be it was an error to make a pressure mould to come on a high quality. But we did not expect the long delay this mould caused.

Who is talking about scam didn't follow the threads.

It was a new guy asking to get in and he was told this is closed to any orders. The new guy then asked since the thread had been opened so long if people got ripped off. I guess after the recent fiasco with a co-op gone sour were the co-op leader basically used funds from the co-op to live on, people are a little nervous.

I believe in your word that you will come through until I am proven wrong. I only look for the best in people and try not to cast doubt. I know it has been a pain for you and it is only volunteer work to get these made and assembled. And I am sure you have a lot of them to do.

I know you are ready to be done with this, keep a light heart and do not let the negatives outweigh the positive, which is a light at the end of the tunnel. A final completion to this project.

I for one am not sorry I signed up, and I understand there were a multitude of problem to over come. Can not wait to give the Kronos a proper test!

Keep at it Uwe!
