It's cool. We'll get em when we get em. They've been busy cranking them out while maintaining quality. Yeah I want mine like everyone else but I'm not going to stress out over things beyond my control and kicking up a stink isn't going to make anything happen faster, it'll only increase stress for everyone involved which I don't find particularly helpful. I hear what y'all are saying but That's just my take on it.

i dont have a problem with the wait or the delays this is not my first rodeo , promises on shipping times get kicked back because of this , that, and the other but what he does have control of is customer service , and so far there seems to be a learning curve in that area if ignored it will be the difference between owning a company and owning a great company with a flooded market people make the difference if you dont have time then thats the difference a great company makes time if you are still doing a 9-5 job and this is a side job you find a way to put 25hrs in a 24hr day because when its all said and done you will reap the rewards of your work whether it be good or it be bad its all of what you make of it

your not allowed to sit there and complacently stare out into nothing while everyone else panics like that ;)

With 10+ years experience doing product design and development, I, pretty much, saw what was going to happen.

(And in all honesty, it's is actually going a bit better than I estimated.)

I've seen this type of thing happen many, oh so many, times.

One of my favorite quotes from a truly clueless boss after I told him that the rollout date had to accommodate unexpected delays and not the pie-in-the-sky date he had set was, "Then I need you to give me a list of all the unexpected delays and solutions for each one and I need it on my desk before end of business today." He honestly didn't understand why everyone else in the meeting started laughing at him.

Nice substantial mod. The battery cap is solid, not the usual thin cap with spring that you might see on an evic for instance.
The texture made me check to see if there was powder on my hands. There wasn't. Certainly not rough, That's just the cerakote I guess,. Not a negative, not a fingerprint magnet.
Titanium finish with the standard contoured top cap looks like it will match the Russian very well.
The Russian is lighter in color but still would look good here. More of a match with the Richman genesis.

I can't seem to thread anything much on the 510. A 510 to ego has no issue. My KFL, Russian, 91%, Hercules , Rocket, Fogger, Aga TD, RSST and a Killer clone simply will not thread on. They do not have problems on any other devices. Everything works with the 510 to ego adaptor but not on it's own.

The device comes with a carry pouch and an extra spring. There is mention on the web site of 2 510 pos pins. There was just one, a brass screw that had not been fully screwed in. edit found the other pin, The web site warns about screwing to far so I made sure not too. It does not seem to be enough though. It's getting very tight but needs to go in further and I am leery of screwing it down more, although I don't see anything it would hurt, there is something down there that it will bottom out on, some part of the innards that might get damaged. A full cup for the entire safe screw distance would make me feel safer about this.

It's working fine with an EHPRO1 (euforia clone). This is the only thing that threads on besides the adaptor.

In a nutshell. The device works well with the atty it works with. Fine build and machining. I got to get the thread grooves to open up a bit before it will work with any other devices. Maybe over time?

Mine has the screw already installed a ng d in the case is what appears to be a second pin....have yet to check it out...what do you think of the button to change wattage....mine is scratched up out if the box and it seems very sensitive on one side and not sensitive enough on the other.

Both buttons function fine. I do see some scratches that I have no problem with. Can you get an atty on and does it sit flush?
Found the other thin pin in the case. Installed it and the EHPRO1 sits flush now and looks quite nice doing it.
Futura is the same length as the Vamo and thinner. I am a happy camper. It's just the 510 threads are too tight. Probably done to the 510 spec where my atties are not.

I can get the aspire on with no issue....tried both my center pins and I can't get a flush fit.....I was very excited about this mod....but not so much anymore....the wattage change button seems too sensitive to me and I find myself changing wattage just firing it.....seems inconveniently located. This might be in the classifieds by the weekend.

Your sig claims you have 17 mods, can we see some pics of the Futura next to some other mods?

You got a pic next to my paper towel mod! Just put a term clone (tobeco) with vochu's kayfun innards. I now have the cloud machine I was looking for. Pump up the 1.4 ohms to 15 watts, not liking it too much, 20 watts, fuggedaboudit. Burnt toast! Back to 10 watts for me.
