I did read that the flat purple efest work so I'm hoping that's still the case. I bought 2 purple efest flat and one button top 18350 and one 18500 efest purple flat top. Hoping all of em works

I'm sure I read somewhere here that the button top efest 18350's are the preferred.

The shipping is ongoing.

Shipping plan for the MicroSticks:
- The latest shipped order is #2063
- Orders #2064-#2350 will be shipped on week 33 (August, 11-17)
- Orders #2351-#2900 will be shipped on week 34 (August, 18-24)
- All EMS orders are shipped with priority as soon as MicroSticks are available.

Extenders are ready and will be shipped on the next week.

Hamorikos are nearly ready. They miss only satin finish. On this week we were working on satin, but we don't like the quality, so we'll start shipping as soon as this problem is solved. Most likely they will be shipped on the coming week.

The prototype of the MiniAtty is ready. The shape of the drip-tip will be slightly changed, but in general it's ready. We'll send it for the review on the coming week.

normally 1 week or a bit less. In some cases, parcels are stuck there for about 3 weeks, this this is rather rare.
Tried checking the tracking again and now its here in my city! Whats weird is that it usually would say it "Departed" but I guess not! Im just happy it cleared customs :)

We just discovered that the anodising company wasn't working on our order. This is really frustrating, because it looks like they lied to us for at least a week.

Now we took back all the remaining MicroSticks and sent it to another company. They swear that our order (all MicroSticks) will be ready in the beginning of the next week. The new company called us already several times asking different things, so we believe that these guys indeed are working on our order. Also they are going to make satin for all Hamorikos already on this week.

The latest shipped order with MicroSticks is #2063. We plan to ship all MicroSticks on the next week.

Should those of us that just received a microstick from this last batch be concerned about the finish?

They just made the last batch and then probably started some other project, so the next batch of the MicroSticks was just waiting in the queue. That's why we changed the company. We just couldn't wait any longer.

The prototype of the MiniAtty was reviewed by Purgen:
MiniAtty (shipping in 30-45 days) - Mini ECIG

He made a short video describing the MiniAtty and several photos. Now we're going to send the MiniAtty to Scott Bonner (igetcha69) for a more advanced review.
Chels and Purgen discussed the MiniAtty and agreed that the following changes will be made to the MiniAtty prototype before the production is started:
- The length of the atty will be increased by 3 mm to increase the capacity from 2 ml to 3 ml
- Standard nuts will be replaced with custom nuts to save space on the deck
- Pins will be thicker to fully block the liquid if the cap is turned
- The air flow hole will be slightly increased (Purgen did it himself before recording the video)
- You might see small scratches on the body. There will be no scratches in production.

Also Chels performed some basic leaking tests. The MiniAtty spent 6 hours up side down and 6 hours horizontally. It wasn't leaking.

The new anodising company is defintely much faster than the old one.
We got Hamorikos from them and satin looks perfect! They are well packed, so we expect that the surface will be spotless. Anyway we'll check them before the shipping. Now they are on engraving. They should be ready in about 2 days. On Sunday we are going to ship them all.

The MicroSticks are coming from anodising in batches. They are deep black, so it's good. They promised to finish anodising of all MicroSticks on this week. We already sent the received MicroSticks for engraving.

Just received my Micro Stick w/Extender today.

What an absolute disappointment after waiting one week shy of four months. The finish has surface scratches all over and even has a few spots where the bare metal is actually showing through, albeit slightly larger than the size of a pin point. I haven't even bothered opening the extender as I can only imagine it's going to be exactly the same. Throw in the poor packaging and it's just unacceptable in my opinion.

If you are considering looking at the Micro Stick I'd suggest lowering your expectations below that of a cloned device. It's really a shame that I held out this long in anticipation of what seemed like a great company and a well designed device. It's amazing that these are in such high demand.

Hopefully I can pawn this off on someone for close to what I paid.
