They said that some of the top caps may have been mixed up, some folks got true stainless and others chrome plated copper. Which probably also means that some that got chrome tubes ended up with SS tops. I think they said they are going to try to correct the error, and get those with the wrong caps the proper ones. I however WOULD NOT recommend scratching them to find out if it is chrome or SS, just get it under good light and see if it has a blueish tint (chrome) or a yellowish tint (SS). I don't know how Apollo will feel about replacing caps that have been intentionally damaged.
Yes we will replace the few ss vtubes that got Chrome top caps. Please just contact our support team. As we said earlier, please do not use destructive method to check it is ss or not. You can tell by comparing the colors between the top cap and the body. The chrome top cap has a subtle bluish color.

Good to hear directly from sunny. Question: Are you going to replace the whole unit or just the top caps?

Sunny,
Lets say "someone" scratched their top on purpose to check, and sure enough, it was the FAKE SS!
...but they STILL Wanted and were willing to pay for the REAL SS top- how much are you going to charge them for just the top...
(and shipping to Minnesota!) ;)

Thanks!

ps. I really love it, but it bothers me knowing its top is chrome, and already scratched (not just where I scratched it) from carrying it in my back pocket at work this last week, so All steel is the only way to go for me.

We will replace the whole unit because we do not have spare top caps.

For those who scratched the top caps, yes we can still replace the whole unit for you but you need to pay for the top cap. We have not decided the price yet.

Wouldn't it make more sense to just have some top caps made instead of eating the whole mod?

OK- That's weird, but what if they scratched (w/dremmel) the top, body and bottom. Will you still swap the entire thing out?

I'd rather just buy the cap, but whatever... Let me know.

I'm guessing to have the factory set up to run a couple dozen (or whatever) caps would be pretty pricey. Probably just cheaper to "eat" a few units, and then maybe sell the screwed up ones as ding and dent, to offset some of the loss, or possibly hold onto them and part them out if needed.

I broke down and ordered one of the 'new' version LT today. I know Apollo is doing their best, but I am not sure enough that they will be able to get it to me before I climb on the plane. Plus how bad can it be to have 2 LTs?

KJ

tomorrow is my flight and I feel so bad that I did not get my vtube yet
I think you did a right thing

Here is the DHL tracking # for usa shipment: 7743256662. We should receive it in next few days, and ship out all backorders by end of this week or early next week.

It is amazing to see how fast it is to ship from China to UK. The shipment to our uk office was posted on the same day as our USA shipment, but is already in UK now. Here is our uk shipment tracking #: 7743256264. We should be able to ship out all our EU backorders this week.
