Relax calm do take it slow, his birthday was yesterday, he has a day job, he needed to do 60+ hours of work to get this done, even with Stacie's help (I have no idea who stacie is) and I think you may need to be patient, just saying Zen~ is doing everything he can to get them done as fast as he can, at least I hope he is ;) Maybe his birthday celebration hasn't ended yet ;)

stacie is the love of his life and from what he explained, the coolest woman in the world.

She is almost like a fictional character she is so cool.

If I did not know better, I would swear he was making her up.

She love home depot, shooting guns (including loading them for him) and helps with all his annoying life tasks.......

Ok, it's update time... And it's a great update!

All of the parts, screws, quartz and cases are finally here and final assembly is well underway. Once the screws arrived it became obvious that I had some fitting to do and a custom delrin spacer to make to deal with the ability to fit both the AW 1600 and 2000 MaH batteries in the standard, and to make the mini fit ONLY the AW IMR 18350.

The Delrin adds a little time and figuring out the size took a bit of time initially...

But...

The first 10 are ready to roll, and I believe I can get another 10 done tomorrow night, and the balance of the febbies over the weekend.

The bad news for nearly everybody in the thread is that I'm shipping based on order date... And I sold the first dozen via You Tube and on Vapers Forum before my supplier status was approved here, so with the exception of Kcos the first dozen are going to folks not in this thread.

But back to the good news...

Some ECF threadies will have theirs shipped Friday, and if everything goes well all the Febs will be shipped by Tuesday!

And the better news... Marchies.. Hold on to your hats...

It's looking like I'll be shipping the march PVs starting towards the end of next week, much earlier than anticipated. The attys will come later in the month. The biggest hold up for the attys is some parts that are coming from a local shop.

So, I've learned some lessons here and made some mistakes that will never be repeated...

1: I can't handle the stress of having your money if your PV isn't ready to ship. This has been a miserable few weeks for me because I hated having to deliver the news of delays when I already had your money.

2: even the best machine shops are terrible with deadlines, and they will tell me what I want to hear instead of what I need to know. I've learned to never tell you when I will ship until I have finished product, and I will never ask for money again until I have the product ready to ship.

I'm sure I have learned other things in this process, but at the moment, these are the most valuable lessons.

So that's our update.. The wait is nearly over and the PVs are really gorgeous... I can hardly wait til you get to try yours out!

@Zen~
I've waited up to 2 years on a paid preorder and not heard from the person even monthly. By the time I got the item I had forgotten about it and out was like a surprise birthday present. You constantly update us and make improvements on the fly as well as making changes that probably cut into your profit margin. As far as I am concerned you can take the weekend off and kick back some.

speaking of dogs, and you will like this segue, I am hoping Zen will throw us a BONE and let us know how the progress is going at some point this morning.

Like how I got us back on track :) I am the new king of keeping this thread on track :)

Not really. :)

I just do not want any angry PM's or fight invitations this morning. Let me have my coffee first. Then we can get ready to rumble.
Im to humble to rumble.

Thanks for the update Zen~. Great news for the March PV orders. Glad I have a dozen 18350 IMR AWs already!

I am curious if we will get shipping/tracking #'s and how... I will be heading on travel soon, so it looks like I may miss getting my Zenesis-mini and definitely will not see my atty-G until middle of April. Also, I may be away from internet somewhat, so I do not wish to miss my payment for the Z-ATTY-G I am signed up for...

I'm just thrilled I got that last spot on the March atty list. Later in the month is still better than sometime in April. :banana: Thanks for the update Zen~. Remember to EAT and SLEEP and HYDRATE!
