Agreed. I'm in the first queue but I'm just hanging out, passing out rainbows. I wouldn't argue with some ela porn though.
Then again, pics might make me less patient.

SW is definitely pointing to being a collectors item.... (or not, David?)All of us Shockwaves owners think the ELA wait time is "Childs Play"..............
If I were "into" mechanicals when the pre-order went out, I'd definitely be in the SW club... unfortunately I only found out how great LR rba vaping is about 3 or 4 months ago.
I love the battery in the shockwave, but I don`t care for the wire. Hopefully the simplicity will not have any wires and be a true mechanical?
Interesting, I think it falls under the semi-mech category. It very much like like my saber touch. It has a touch sensor instead of a reg button, but it does have wiring similar to the Shockwave. When I bought it I was told it was mechanical by some and not by others.
I guess there are fully mechanicals , regulated ones like Evic, Vamo, and Provaris and semis like Shockwave, Mark Bugs, Saber Touch. The semis have a lot of the pluses as fully mechs as they can handle sub-ohm vaping.
I guess Precise Plus and ELA are fully mechanicals.

If the side button requrires a wire, then I have to say I would much rather have a bottom button.
If it ain`t broke, don`t fix it.

I wouldn't want a bottom button 26650 mod - it's much more comfortable with the side button. I love fully mechanical mods, but if I had to choose between a full mechanical Shockwave without the current button, and the existing well designed and implemented button with a wire, I would choose the latter every time. The Shockwave has a lifetime warranty, so if I ever have problems with the button, I'm sure David would fix it for me in no time.
I think mechanical is too much of a buzz word these days - and in light of side button mods like the bolt with junky wires, I can sort of understand why, as they can barely handle the current a 3.7v battery is putting into a 1.5 or 2.0 ohm atomizer. But let's be fair - that's about as far removed from the Shockwave button as a dirt bike is to a Harley.

Never owned a bolt so I have no clue about the wires in one. I think I like the term mechanical for a different reason than most. If I drop it in water, which I don`t know why that is my biggest fear, it wiill still work. Granted I love that lifetime warranty, but I don`t like thinking about trying to make someone else pay for my mistake.
Maybe you shouldnt say Harley, being that my loved one is a Harley man, for decades , he'll tell you if you want it to work all the time, then dont get a Harley, If you want it to run forever but dont mind tinkering, then DO get a Harley.
But I know what you mean, the Shockwave is an amazing piece of machinery, wired or not. As you said Vaptamist theres wired and then there is state of the art wiring. Being a semi- mech it has all the pros of a high end full mech. Im sure if its Super-T made it wont have any problems except dropping it in a pool or bathtub, ( yes bathtub ) I know a lot of manly guys that like a long hot bubble bath.
It does not have a circuit board so it can get fried, if something ever gets shorted , Im sure its a simple fix like just rewiring it.

hmm your list of "semi-mech's" is one thing, but as far as sub-ohm... it depends sub what number? I know that mark bugs says 1.0 Ohms is the lower *advisable limiit for his devices...
Not a bad thing, but i like to have a "Uke's top shelf" devices that have the ability to really rock the house if needed.... and only a good mech can do that (as well as 1.0+)
Curious about SW...

Probably true about the Mark Bugs, Im not really knowledgeable on the details. Maybe thats why you see many of the Mark Bugs PV on the classifieds. With so many ultra low res vapors out there.
Ive never put my Saber thru the tests of real low res atomizers since I dont like lower than 2.0. I do remember some Saber touch owners mentioning some LR builds, but dont know for sure. I think it just makes sense that a most devices that are not well insulated where the wiring is encased would tend to heat up if not well designed. From what Ive seen of the Shockwave there is more than enough Delrin to keep things cool and stop a bullet.

Dang, I really want my ELA. I dont know what else to do the pass the time. I made 20 wires for my Ody, Ive replaced wicks on the 2 I have going now. I made enough e-liquid for a while ( 4 8oz bottles and 6 4oz) Hmmmm, Ive polished the nickel end caps of my one Saber and cleaned everything with alcohol.
I re-arranged my room. Ive been working on my latest 80 photographs. I guess I can play more spider solitaire? Im trying my best NOT to spend any money. Maybe I need to browse Ebay for more silica.

I daresay most mark bugs devices end up on the classifieds because of the touch sensor. In order for the touch sensor to activate, there has to be some moisture in your skin. There's a popular spurious idea that licking your finger is the only way to get a WA to fire. That's lazy and weird, but that's what sellers of these devices wish to trade away.
I've got an apprentice that will probably never see the classifieds until I give up vaping. It's very well built and quite an efficient use of space. And apparently I don't have the dry skin problem plaguing so many others. Check out the apprentice 18650 next to the p+ 18500:
Both are excellent devices. Truth be told, I still use the p+ more often than the wa. But someday I would love to see David combine the diminutive size of newer devices such as the apprentice and caravela with the superlative aspects of his p+ line.
Yeah, most people don't "get" the touch switches. They're much like our touch screens.... they simply don't work if you tap with a fingernail... because its dead tissue! Touch sensors pickup the electrostatic in our bodies. So, if your skin is overly dry, then its just like tapping a touchscreen with a fingernail!
I wonder why there are so many people with such dry skin out there... what are they doing that they're so dry!?!?

Probably washing their hands or something. Psh. Poor hygiene for the win!
