Shipping 15 to 20 days? Wow, we are spoiled here in the U.S. That has to include handling time packing and getting the order to the shipper, doesn't it? That's by moped, boat, plane, and USPS truck at the last mile? Patience is a virtue, hang in there.
I have heard agonizing stories of E-cigs being stopped at customs by the FDA, and held up for weeks, 2 weeks to a month additional time. Now this was e-cigs, not e-cig accessories, so I don't know if they do the same thing to the accessories we screw on to the end of our E-cigs? They and other government agencies do have blanket authority to just willy-nilly hold international shipments for inspection, for periods of time unspecified, and no specific reason required.
Sorry, I am not trying to spoil your good deal. It can't happen that often, or our E-cig dealers would not have such a large dependable supply of product to sell to us. For that deal, I would really like to have $300 (or $280) expendable income at one time anymore, to get 100 of them, so that I could just throw them away when they got dirty, no cleaning, no switching out parts. At that price, they really are a steal.
Those are the short wicks? Not that I would know if the longer mop-like wicks are any better, I have heard good and bad reports on them, YMMV. I haven't tried the long wick CE4/Stardusts yet. Some people cut them off, they prefer the short wicks. I think the only people who really have real problems with the Stardust are people like me, who are
vaping ALL VG E-liquids like I am right now. When I first started out with 60PG/40VG and a couple PG free VG juices, they didn't give me a problem with the CE4, but then when I changed brands to Aroma Ejuice's "Whole Tobacco Alkaloids" (WTA) Red Tail Vapor Line (I think 90% - 100% VG), they would stop working after just a couple days, instead a couple months.
I am stoked about the up and coming Vision eGo Clearomizer (Stardust) V3 with the replaceable coils, like the Vivi Nova Tank, but NOT like the E1 Version 2, E3, or CE5+ replaceable clearomizer, which were a big disappointment to me, or the people who's reviews I read on the ones I didn't try, but used the same cylinder/coil/wick assembly.

There is a coil oHm rating for everybody: 1.8Ω - 2.4Ω - 2.8Ω - 3.2Ω - 4.0Ω. Meaning that Variable Voltage mods can be used to get the most flavor from juices that produce flavor with the extra wattage you can't get from a 3.7volt PV. The ones I have seen being ready to ship have longer wicks than pictured here, but they don't go to the bottom of the clearo, they are (shorter) mid-length.
I'm excited and can't wait either. Sorry, didn't mean to hijack your thread.
I'll write a review after I try some of these things. I can't even order any until next week anyway, if they are available.
