It blows my mind that people can be so mad at someone that is doing their customers a solid by not half-a@#ing a product not to mention every last one of you knows that after waiting as long as you have if your ELA arrives at your doorstep and something is wrong with it the reputation for excellence that David and his employees have worked their tails off to achieve goes right down the crapper. This is how business works folks ......well at least ones that stick around lol. Waiting sucks, but to FINALLY get a mod that I don't have to constantly screw with to get the dang thing to work every time I hit the button I will be a very happy guy lol.

I am frustrated not mad. I would be better off not receiving tracking till it actually ships. You know today is sunday and I still have refreshed that tracking I don't know how many times knowing dern good and well there is no possible way that it would move today. Tease I tell you a dern tease!

I can agree with this Freckle. David did his best to come here to this forum and explain about the early tracking notices so at least we know they were not lost to the mail gods. As far as I am concerned and I know most will probably not agree with me, but I would have mailed the first batch all at once so that way when the people that pre-ordered during a certain claimed timeframe got them at around the same time. I'm sure David and crew are doing there best to meet deadlines but lets face it they totally missed the mark.

All I'll say is that high end mods require patience in some way or another. Sometimes patience to find one, sometimes patience with people's ridiculous prices/trades, sometimes patience with waiting for releases, sometimes patience when the store breaks down in the middle of the sale you've been stalking all morning and then comes back but breaks down again (maybe that one's not as common) and sometimes patience because pre-orders always miss their estimates. I got an Astro from Kato, it missed the date by only a few days and people got $170 mods with nicks, scuffs and scratches. So sooner is not always better anyway.

This has a leg up as there has been communication the whole way through and David is a known commodity, it's not like it's his first rodeo and this is some vaporwall list where we hope it turns out ok.

OK, here goes. David, my comments were harsh and somewhat unfair so for that I apologize. I saw your explanation about the tracking numbers and I get it. You are trying to expedite this thing as much as possible. Also, I pretty much knew what I was getting into when I ordered, almost... I don't own a SuperT mod but from what everyone says the long wait will be a small sacrifice for the craftsmanship of your mods. I hope that is true. Anyways, I just want to echo Freckle that in the future you ought not send the tracking until you are actually ready to ship. It is cruel and unusual punishment... As a sign of good faith I have ordered a simplicity from you as well. it looks great and I want something small I can take on the run. Again I apologize. Please accept these words as sincere truth.

My post wasn't necessarily about you, I just see people get amped up in threads like these, or make threads after having trouble ordering during a release or something similar related to a high end coming out.

You want to come up with an excuse for why I ordered one...five minutes after I saw they were for sale...I got nothing.

Thank you CraigTime, i appreciate it. Do know that I am working hard to get these out. The ELA has more machining operations, machining time, pieces and engineering then any mechanical mod on the market(for the least amount too) and with that came a bit of oversight by me. I really should have marketed it more as a speciality/limited/custom mod due to this.

my kayfun is coming in a day early! gonna receive it sometime today :D i'll post pics of the brushed version from vaperev.

I am stalking the mail man as we speak, should be anytime. I think the brushed is going to be nice on the ELA. I was doing some more reading about the finish, and for some reason I forget now, but I believe we may have scored the eplison (sp?). Super stoked!


Ha HA I plan to put the kayfun on the p+18650 till the ELA gets here, 2 mm really isn't that much of a difference, is it? lol

I'm not sure why you're upset or if you are but nothing I said was directed at you. It was a direct apology to David. The only reason I quoted you was because some of what you said helped me "see the light".

This must be the newer polished version!! It matches absolutely perfect with the polished parts on the p+! Perfect I tell you, the finish is a perfect match!!!

He not upset, just staring that he had no reason why he ordered one...he just did...
:) I try to make myself feel all heroic - "Because it's there."
Snork said it best;)

I got it set up with the mesh, and it was super easy, actually one of the easiest builds I have encountered in a very long time. I do wish I had picked up the clear tank or that I could put the window down at the bottom. Oh well I guess I can just do a fill once I no longer see my juice. Ha Ha

awesome! i can't wait to get mine... it'll look super weird on my p+16 tho so i guess i have to use my VAMO haha. and yea i kinda wish i got the clear tank but it can wait.

mornin! in light of the recent drama, i'd like to say:

I still haven't gotten an ELA
I still haven't gotten a shipping notice
I still don't expect ANY of that to happen for the next few weeks
I still haven't gotten mad about it :D

Vaguely related: i ordered a provari for my GF from provape (as i think i pointed out a while back) and, even though costly, i was impressed with the quality of the product. i decided i wanted a VV as well. but, man, i didn't want to spend that kinda cash! so instead i ordered a Telescoping SS Zmax from a drop shipping vendor. arrived the NEXT DAY (unlike the week it took provape to send the provari)

what do i think of my Telescoping SS Zmax? no idea. cuz that's not what i got. i got a bright blue Zmax mini instead. &%$&!! GF likes it..so i told the vendor i'd keep it (with a refund of the price difference). CLEARLY a substandard product when compared to provape's provari, though. i expect that button to be broken in a month.

so now that SHE has a new mod...i need a VV still, right?

well i'm currently waiting for my own provari from provape. QUALITY will beat fast shipping and price EVERY TIME.
