LOL, I dont think we were trying to be silly on purpose, but I have heard its very very low. From what Vaptamist was saying it just depends on so many things, that sometimes numbers dont really make a difference depends on so many variables. Im sure someone will chime in with their findings.

On my modest setups I have never checked. All I know is that when I got the ELA I popped my atomizer and Kick in it. It was stronger than what I was using and had to lower the wattage because it was hitting harder and I got a nic rush.

Wait time all depends, but 3 months seems to be closer, and closer to 4 would be safer to say. It is moving along faster, I was one of the real early orders and it took a bit over 6 months. Parts are completed now, but there is still alot of hand finishing and David himself assembles and quality checks and tests them before they leave. So far, I don't think anyone has received a unit with a single flaw, no scratches or defects.

It is simple in design but I dont think you can find too many devices that are as safely designed, meticulously machined or with a lifetime warranty as these. If you already own other high end devices , it might not "blow you away" but it wont dissapoint.

Only reasons we have seen that people have traded them are because they were offered an outrageous price or they just didnt like bottom buttons or it was heavy for them. This was my first bottom button and it took me no time to get used to it. It is a hefty device, but not so much that my bad hands cant handle. I like the feel, its solid and the finish is as perfectly machined as a medical instrument or precision handgun.

PS, when I stated it was simple in design , I meant in the simple lines, clean. As far as parts, it has 5 machined parts just on the button alone. The top cap/ s are simple to use and take apart. It only has a few o-rings, so not much to melt even if you leave it firing for 45 minutes and if a battery should vent it expands apart with no damage. Not even my atomizer suffered in both incidences.

Thanks for the input! I have one "high end" and a clone. I like both of them for different reasons. One of the ways I am trying to decide on my next purchase is what isn't showing up in the classifieds. I really thought I wanted a Nemesis but it seems like there are a few new ones for sale everyday. This and the roller are high on my list for that reason. I don't see them at all. If the time was any less, I don't think I would hesitate at all being that it is an American company. Also the telescoping design is very appealing to me.

Then your wait for an ELA may be longer than you are comfortable with. They are currently not being sold. They will eventually be sold again - but David hasn't indicated when that may be, and it almost certainly won't be anytime soon.

I should've added "in comparison with other mods under those same setups done on the same planet"...
I've truly decided that's an impossible question to answer. I know it's all the rage to judge mechanicals by this standard but it's faulty. It's not consistent.

What is consistent about a Super-T is the fact that the connection doesn't erode.
 
I really want one of these but that wait time is hard for me to accept. I'm not much of a delayed gratification kind of guy unless I know it's going to blow my mind. Is 2 1/2 - 3 months about right from them to you?

I would expect a 5-6 month wait realistically. I ordered mine over 22 weeks ago and have not received a shipping notice yet.

Well I cancelled mine so an ELA should be available at some point on Super T website..

I am currently in a super tiny and lightweight craze and since I just lost my backup I am in dire need of another PV..

I could have just sprung for a backup and kept the ELA on order but my lust for super tiny and super lightweight PV has won the battle in my brain..

Will I regret cancelling my order? Perhaps if / when my current craze wears off and it won't be the 1st time my brain sent me in the wrong direction but I decided to cancel it and move along..

I am now eyeballin the Simplicity 18350 and of course the integrated RBA..

Peace out ELA'ers may your wait be a quick one! :)

You just gave up the best mod ever produced.........ELA + Kick2:vapor:

I'd agree with you there but telescopic mods no longer leave that special twinkle in my eye.. My Roller also bit the dust due to my current tiny and light craze.

Is anymore proof needed that I am indeed a whack-a-doodle?

Should've kept it and at least given it a shot. If after using it it wasn't your cup of tea, you probably could have traded it for your unicorn. The ELA is my unicorn, though. :)

You know I thought about that long and hard but honestly there is not a single 18350 mod I am interested in that's not available, or at least semi-available..

I have zero interest whatsoever in that old spice mod..

So what would I have traded it for?

I also thought about not posting here because of 'minor' backlash but hey someone can now know an ELA will make it's way to the Super T website and keep an eye out for it..

I wholeheartedly support any pre-order backers to cancel upon their second thoughts. Seriously, no need to make a big deal out of it. Someone else will buy it....RIGHT AWAY!!

I keep trying, but the site inventory hasn't been updated yet. :)

... I also thought about not posting here because of 'minor' backlash but hey someone can now know an ELA will make it's way to the Super T website and keep an eye out for it..

I sincerely apologize for criticizing your decision, and I wish you the best of luck on finding your nirvana. I know everyone has different tastes, and the ELA doesn't magically fill every desire. Anyway, if you change your mind, and if I end up catching it for sale, and if I still have it when you change your mind, I'll sell it back to you. :)
