I hear they handled things really well. Anyone know exactly what they did differently? Just curious.

They used a real server, which did not slow down or crash or boot people back to the homepage without warning.

They did not come up with an untested feature to add at the last minute.

They did not mess with the site during the sale (not that they had time to)

They took your billing information and instead of having you login to paypal or enter your CC information they put your order on "reserve" until they can contact you for your actual payment information. This should weed out multiple purchases from different email addresses but for the same physical address.

They started the sale within 30 seconds of the posted time instead of 11-27 minutes late.

The 4th point actually sounds like a pretty damn slick way of handling things. More work on their part but less pain on the customers part.

Talked to them a few times and met the owner when I drove up there for the SS, seemed like good people to me. And apparently smart!

I am completely ...... off at ihybridmods right now. I thought 310vapers was the exclusive seller? I knew they were kinda doing this other vendor but, 310vapers said that they WILL be selling it at 5PM PST. Once I figured out it was at this other vendor I was 2 minutes late. ...?

What did you do when you checked 310 and it wasn't there? You had an hour to get the necessary info.

These guys have a high end product, that a lot of people want. I am a customer. Don't treat me like I'm entering a ....ing contest, and if I get one I win. If you're going to sell only 40 of them, make a ....ing list, make it professional. I'm not going to be looking into an iHybrid anymore. I just feel like this is insane. It's like someone else playing with my ....ing money

I am sorry you didn't get what you want. You are in good company. Many did not score, or, win, as you say. I wish you well. Please understand, if you give up, you are depriving yourself of, arguably, the best hitting hybrid currently in production. Another option is to introduce yourself, and get to know some of the people around here. A couple of posts a day to get acquainted and keep abreast of what is going on goes a long ways. At least then you might have known what website to go to. Good luck in your quest.

EDIT: Keep Calm and vape on!

I was at school, my girlfriend was buying it for me and when it disapeared she didn't know what to do, I mean you can't just tell everyone its on 310vapers and change your mind last minute thats ......ed. I got home right before 8 EST. This is stupid

Faceless NEVER said it was going to be sold at 310. 310 posted a product they were not selling and put a time on it. The ihybrid site specifically stated that they would be sold at Wild Valley at 8pm central. Ihybridmods.com never said it was going to be sold at 310.

Sent from my phone.

Idk man. I'm not mad I didn't get one, I just feel like I got played. I mean if 310 vapers screwed up they should of stopped it, maybe did it next week. And I'm not looking for the hardest hitting hybrid, I'm more of an aesthetic type, and it was between the cobalt and this.

I even messaged faceless here on ECF about what was going on because on ihybridmods they said they would post the time that night, and they didnn't post it till like midnight, so I asked before they posted it, hey just asking if you guys are posting it and I mentioned 310vapers in the message. He never messaged me back

Some of us are friends with Faceless. If you want to get close to the man, it's a good idea to get close to his friends. But, you came in here gun-a-blazin'. His friends are going to defend him. Have you looked at the ihybridmods page? Is there anything else you like that's coming up? Maybe you can learn some tricks from us. Maybe you'll score, maybe you won't, but you might get to know some pretty cool people along the way.
