I share your sentiments. I went to buy one from Vaperev, being the only place that had them, added to cart along with some extra batteries and saw the ~$12 shipping. Nope!

I know that in the US this is expensive for shipping , but it always makes me cry a little inside when people complain about it. In canada if I had something shipped from the other side of my city it would be 10-14$. I generally have to pay 14$ for shipping on anything I order within canada.

I'll post some pics of mine if canada post ever feels like delivering it , it was supposed to be here yesterday along with a By Leo shipment.

But you canucks have "free" healthcare. I would take that over inexpensive shipping any day

It's not the money that I take umbrage with. USPS came up with this niffty idea... they give you a small box and tell you that whatever you can stuff in it, we will ship it for about 5 bucks. My issue is that VR is charging me $12 for a $5 service.

Seems that $12 and $14 are not far off. Doesn't matter what country it is, priority shipping at $12 for a small box is robbery.

Word!! What up yank? Jo ever coming out?

That's exactly my issue. VR deserves no respect from me. Ok. Everyone needs to make a profit. But to profit on a service you will lose ZERO money on? Meh

She can come out. I didn't lock the closet door. :)

I just got my response from VR, being that I sent them a picture strait from the box proudly displaying their stickers, a few post back, they say it is hard to tell from the picture that it is a "defect" but I can return for an exchange when they are available or a refund upon review of the item. I then replied that I would see if the finish gets worse or any different through the weekend, which I doubt it will get any better but I was "hoping" and they sent me a quote from their website quoting their return policy which has a 15% restocking fee, ...!! I am now awaiting a response from them to see if this fee is applicable with a possible defect that I brought to their attention immediately and before use!!
I can tell you with certainty that my unit does not look like the others I have seen posted. I will not waste much more time on this finish issue, it will either go back for a full exchange or refund or I'll throw a leather case on it and be done!! I would have thought that "donkey" would have chimed in by now but anyway, hope everyone has a great weekend!!

The cloudy finishes posted lately don't look like the finish on mine. Something is definitely not right. Now I am afraid to carry mine around for fear of scratching. It is my lunch time and car vape during the week.
Unless that finished changed after inspection and boxing I am not sure how/why they were shipped to customers or retailers.
Here is mine from this recent run.

Something is definitely wrong with the finish on the last batch - I have #1354 - and the engraving and the serial number are darker and yellowish (not bright white like yours), and the finish is a bit cloudy, not the rich black color I'm seeing on yours.

Edit: but then I'm seeing the same yellowish engraving and serial in other pictures, maybe the color of the engraving has nothing to do with it.

I totally agree!! I just took this picture so y'all could see that the bottom is much different than the main body!

The suspense on the condition of my finish is killing me , but unless my tracking on two items is messed up and not updating I'm going assume they've pushed till Monday.

I hope the finish on yours is is is........perfect!! Lol
