Has anyone in the US used the standard shipping? If so how long does it take to get to the US?

I am needing an extender for my U-stick and the upgrade shipping is the same price as the extender! That seems a bit crazy to me.

EMS is indeed expensive, but on the other hand all EMS orders are delivered within 10 days to US.
Standard shipping is not so stable.
Most part of the orders are delivered in about 2 weeks.
But about 2-5% of orders to US get stuck on customs or whatever and could be delivered in 30-40 days.
So EMS is a kind of guaranteed delivery.

Thank you for the information.

Just received my partial shipping confirmation for my microsticks. The hamoriko is still in production I suppose.

Tracking info received on Microstick and extender.

Good to hear they started shipping!

Today we shipped all EMS orders with MicroSticks.
Now we pack the last 20 MicroSticks of the first batch of anodised MicroSticks.

The next batch of MicroSticks will come from anodising on Sunday, so we'll continue shipping of the MicroSticks on Monday next week.

Hamorikos are in production. Connectors and buttons are ready. Tubes have passed the first operation. On the photo you can see the quality of satin. This time it's even and spotless. In 1 week Hamorikos will be ready for engraving. In 2 weeks we'll ship them.

MiniAtty: the prototype is delayed because we are focused on MicroSticks and Hamorikos. The prototype should be ready in 1 week.

In this run the connector in MicroSticks has cuts for air flow. This is important for the cartomizers, because often the tank can go down and close the air flow.

Got mine today. I am VERY happy with it. This thing is tiny but it is built like a freakin tank! It works absolutely seamlessly with my Aspire BDC Mini-Nova. You need to do a special run in something more subdued like a desert tan or FDE. Something that blends with your hand. I'm tempted to buy another and duracoat it but the finish on these things is amazing.

I made a leather cover for mine.

Instant tan!!

I may have a go at one. I have some leather here after my last holster project. Looks pretty straight forward, but I'll have to wait until my finger heals up. I had a fight with a circular saw blade yesterday and nicked a thumb and 2 fingers. My index finger is out of commission for a while.

Your's looks great!

 

[Vermiform]

No instructions with mine. I realize it is a mech mod but would like to hear from manufacturer if battery is supposed to go positive down or up or if there is a preference.

 

[Susan W.]

Oh no, not good fighting with a circular saw blade. The blade will always win.

I just happened to have a piece of leather that had holes already on one side so I just cut it to size and punched holes on the other side. I had some waxed linen string that I used to lace the side up. I did glue a thin piece of leather around the bottom so the MicroStick sits on the leather and not on the table to reduce scratches.

Oh, the battery goes in positive side down....

What kind of promised or expected delivery do you get from EMS?
I'm curious as it's quite an expensive upgrade from post to express mail service - and the time taken by either doesn't seem to be much different?

The next batch of sticks is a bit stuck on anodising. Instead of receiveing them today, most liekly we will get them tomorrow or on Tuesday.
Anyway the next batch will be shipped on this week.

Looks good there, Susan!!

Positive down into the mod. Think of it like a standard stick mod, the positive terminal leads to the 510 connector.

That's good news! It's so hard to wait.... Patience is not one of my (very few) virtues. Guess I should have upgraded from standard shipping.
