40 units accounted for so far...

...nice!

The Original 100 placed orders beginning on July 1, 2011 @ 7:00PST
The Eclipse EQ's were all but gone in much less than a day's time.
We are bonded for eternity by this endeavor.

Points of interest:

1.)Shipping confirmation numbers started to be received on 08/01/2011
@ approx 02:24 pm PST / 05:24pm EST.

2.) First person to receive their EQ was Jimho!! on 08/04/2011 @ (see post for time)

Those listed are people who posted their order numbers....

....wanna be on the list? Post the order number.

Failures(returned for service):

1.) mxbnw-1st batch
2.) Drumonron-1st batch
3.) harpo-2nd batch
4.) sacker-2nd batch

Alright drum, put me back on the list for #2 being cancelled #2278. MisterD and I had a collaborative effort...lol!!
i canceled becos my shipment day was getting close and I wanted to get it done b4 the weekend. You could have waited a lil longer, my Acey friend! Cojones is what you got!! :thumbs:
the reason why i haven't post that i canceled b4 now is because I didnt want others to follow. If M&M were more present and active on this thread I don't think I'd have cancelled my order!

We all had the same sentiments going into this. When brotha MX's 1st unit got fried and brotha jimho's constant unit resettings, those things happening were enough to make my decision.. I just wish this pre-order ran as smooth as provapes', glvs' and notcigs' preorders.

This is my dilemma exactly. I am inching closer to shipment time and there is no money-back guarantee provision in the EQ warranty. So once it ships, the buyer could be stuck with a constant ping-pong of returns with no other recourse. I know you guys waited 11 months but I have been onboard for 8 months now myself and my desire to own this unit has never waned, until now. So I am at the crossroads; either I cancel and wait until V2 or I accept what I'm getting into. I have waited to make that decision until we hear some sort of statement from DC. I really don't want to cancel, but we need to hear something very soon.

I am on the fence too. I'm 3 behind you. To cancel or not to cancel. That is the question. This is stressing me out, LOL. I think what I really need now is some reassurance from M & M. I need them to stroke my hair and tell me, "everything is gonna be alright". :)

I really want to believe everything will be made alright. That being said, faith is not enough when it comes to a 300$ PV...sooo if some solution is not presented by monday I will be cancelling my preorder as well. I hope everything gets sorted out because I really do want the EQ, just not a buggy/broken one. That's not an unreasonable request, is it?

I never took my eye off the led(5.7) indicator....it never moved while shooting the video....maybe the EQ only behaves with HV attys?

Or maybe it's just in the 5v+ range. I haven't seen anyone talk about voltage re-sets when they're in the 5.0v-5.9v range, but I could be wrong.

I really wanted mine to work out as well- and had participated in some of the betas and early releases you mentioned. My frustrations go beyond the issues we've identified- I thought it unfair to post subjective opinions (I do have a less than stellar opinion about usability) until we could get some of the objective issues adressed but its unclear that that's going to happen- short of fixing a bricked or leaking unit, we've had no acknowledgement of any of the issues and no public support from DC. Given this is a supplier posting and was used as a marketing vehicle for the device, I think its rude that DC has elected to not make the effort to actively participate here during this crucial time.



One difference is we've seen open discussion on the betas for the aformentioned devices- for some reason, possibly the confidence we had in Mario, it seemed to be a non issue here- I (probably like the rest of you) assumed that any issue comming from the Beta testers would be fully resolved before the units shipped. Clearly we were wrong. I still think we deserve an answer as to why Mario is no longer participating in this discussion. I don't know what's going on on the back end but I don't think Mario is involved in this any more and I think if he were, we'd have some clear dialoge and commitment to get these issues fixed.

I will say that subjectively I think the device is unsuited for mobile use - I found the UI cumbersome at best and impossible at other times- imagine driving and trying to check the remaining charge or set the voltage when you can't see the LEDs... As per BasiRay's video- remembering settings past the first three taps is a PITA. I hope between now and his next review he gets to take it out and about, puts it on his meter, and does a bit of side by side against a Darwin and a ProVari.
