Hcigar Aurora 80w squonker

[score69]

Technically I was the longest in transit and order time though.
My order was a pre-order on 4-25 and it shipped on 5-25.

I ordered mine on 4/25 as well. It shows shipped as 5/26, but still hasn't budged, lol. Wow.

My one ordered from MVS has also been in pre-shipment for two days. Never had that happen with them.

Starting to put together a conspiracy theory about vape mail delivery to me, lol. Maybe it's a jinx with the Aurora.

Heck, who knows, maybe at least the one from MVS is on the way and never got scanned in by the USPS. Never had this many 'stale packages' at one time before.

I built a Hotcig Castle and have it ready for when mine eventually arrives. Did a 7 wrap 3mm coil using Ni80 rectangle wire. I may have to use it on something else while I'm waiting at this rate.

I ordered mine in black. I think it just looks awesome in black. That's my opinion tho.

What color did you guys choose?

The one I ordered from FT was the black, just like yours. Figured it would be the first in stock. And have to agree with you, it looks great in black.

Although I like the silver and red too, haha. When I placed the second order with MVS, it was for silver.

I am looking forward to the Aurora, just not having any luck getting one. It's a good thing I'm enjoying the Pulse in the meanwhile.

Edit:

I keep refreshing the USPS tracking this morning. Hoping (small chance) that my one from MVS will magically change from Pre-Shipment to 'Out for Delivery', lol. I've had that happen before when a package doesn't get scanned initially, but that's a pretty small glimmer of hope for the day. If it really did leave MVS on Thursday, I usually would have it by today.

Two peeps on the FT forum received there's last night and they ordered same day as I did??? Go figure?

I will never understand how mail system works?

I know, right? My last FT shipment hit customs was sooner than expected. The updated delievery date after getting through customs was still like 5 days. It came in through Miami FL, and I'm near Atlanta. Not 5 days trip by any means.

Regardless, it went from Miami, to Illinois, to Pennsylvania, then back down to GA and finally to me. It was almost as if they were trying to burn up the extra days they had scheduled for delivery, lol. It did take 5 days to get to me after leaving customs, but that was after travelling all over this side of the country first. Who knows?

Mine almost made it to me... It should have been delivered but for some reason it stalled at a place that usually makes it to my local post office in time. Strange... It will be here on Monday now.

Looking at the tracking again and it should have been delivered today. Another package was delivered today was at the same place . Very strange now.

Don't feel bad my update says "in destination to next facility" . Don't know why they would update that??

I had a refill bottle for squonk mods delivered today that left the last facility 3 hours after my Aurora. It should have been delivered...

i kind of like entheon RDA, strong flavor and good amount of vape production too .....

I've also ordered one, to go with my rsq. Hope it arrives soon.

Sounds like the same poor mail service we have??

I've got one at regional distribution as of 8pm last night. Should hit the local PO today and show out for delivery in a few hours. Of course unless there is another screw up, lol.

Yeah, my FT order hasn't even shown that it's left China yet. Shipped on 5/26 I think. Glad I ordered one from a US vendor too or I'll be waiting another month at this rate. Hoping I'm really happy with it, and the one from FT will be a backup device if it ever arrives. If the first one doesn't get that much use, I'll find someone to take the other one off my hands once it arrives. Got a brother that's trying to quit smoking and he won't spend enough money on vape gear to get a nice setup. May PIF it to him.

The Hotcig Castle is built (7 wraps of Ni80 0.3x0.9mm rectangle wire, 3mm) and ready to go if the one shows up in the mailbox today. Hoping today is a quiet day at work if so. Just threw another 21700 on the charger for it.

Mine is out for delivery. Should have it in my hands between 10:30 and 12 noon

 

[t8kiteasy]

Mine arrived at sort facility at 4:18 yesterday so,it should update to out for delivery today sometime?

So you've got a backup on the way on a mod you haven't even tried and/or know you'll like, but you can't spot your brother a decent setup? I have a feeling you can come up with a decent setup by putting on a blindfold and randomly picking stuff up in your room in about 3 seconds

Mail delivery came a bit early today, which was a very nice surprise. Other than the feed tube not being snipped at an angle, no problems out of the box. Looking forward to putting it through its paces. Using a 20650 without any problems with the battery "selector" set to 18650.

Actually, the one I ordered from FT was Black. I then ordered a Silver from MVS. It shows arriving tomorrow.

I have one out for delivery today that Red.

As soon as I ordered the silver from MVS, I regretted not getting the red. So the red one should arrive today. Silver tomorrow, may never see the black from FT.

Yeah, I guess I need to spot my brother a setup, huh?

Congrats, first one here to have this nice surprise. Expect mine around noon.

I would actually prefer to snip my own tube. Have gotten some snipped at such an angle that you can't even vape the last 1.5mls out of the bottle.

That's great news about the 20650 fitting. Didn't even think about that. I've seen the Sanyo 20650A available at a good number of places that are sold out of the Sanyo 20700A. So that's another option for folks needing a higher current option. I vape low enough that the 20700B works for me, or I would source a few of the 20650A's.

Let us know how it goes. I'm eagerly watching for the mail too.

Oh yeah, I know it was mentioned there was battery rattle with an 18650. I'll bet with the 20650 there's no rattle. Might be worth picking one up.

 

[t8kiteasy]

O.k. I am getting jealous mine is not here yet?

 

[Necrospecter]

I got mine Monday

Moved my drop over to BF and tossed it on. Running it in 18650 with the drop. Tuesday my Dead Rabbit SQ came in

Put an SS Clapton still running it on a 18650 Sony VTC5A a size comparison with a normal Dead Rabbit and the Pulse BF SS TC mode is working nicely. The only real problem I have is that you can not lock the adjustment buttons. With the Clapton on the DRSQ I am getting 6 hours on the VTC5A I have placed an order for 20700 and 21700 but so far I am happy with this little thing only two cons are the non-locking adjustment buttons and it does not come in purple
