Vcoupe, looks like our kayfun will be here before our ELAs, on the good note, our ELAs should be perfectly flawless when we get them.

I finally got to refresh my tracking this morning, still not shipped! I know David said that the simplicity wasn't to hold up the ELA but counting the number of boxes on that table, adding up the amount of days I have had tracking, this is getting a tad ridiculous. I don't see how the simplicity isn't holding it up. Why send someone a tracking so they can get their hopes up to not ship it for a week or longer? Blah, when others got their tracking numbers, they shipped, they weren't teased like this.

I need to go guzzle some more coffee, I am a tad frustrated!

Trust me the Simplicty is not holding up your ELA from shipping....
David puts several hours into each P+/ELA.... Fit/finish and final assembly are all hand done by DG.........thats what makes them so special...:)

I really don't care who I piss off, aggravate, annoy, etc. David you have had my money since January 13th. A lot of money in my world. The estimate was 6 - 8 weeks. It has been 21 weeks now. Pretty close to 3 times your estimate. That's pitiful. I know you are used to everyone on here kissing your a$@ but you are not going to get it from me. I'm fed up and out of patience. When are you going to make good!?

And I've waited this long so don't even suggest that I cancel now because I would laugh my unhappy a@$ off.

See, what is so great about David and Super-T is that even if you wrote a post that was a hundred times more insulting and if the biggest a$@-kisser wrote a post that was infinitely more a$@-kissy, you would both wait an equal period of time for your ELA and both of your ELAs would be equally perfect.
David did make an estimate. That estimate didn't come true. Not even close. However, if you get to know the way David and his team work, you will know that the cause of deliveries running late is their striving for perfection and flawless QC in 97% of cases. If that pisses you off, stop looking at the dates and either order and forget, or switch to the instant availability of cheap chinese copies. They will definitely deliver as fast as they can.

have a feeling ill be holding my kayfuns up to the pc monitor to compare them to pics of the ela to see which finish i keep. LOL I guess it just depends on which brushed finish we get. I think the brushed one vcoupe is talking about is the gamma which has a coating and would prob be darker. Then there is the epsilon brush which is a natural brushed SS. I think the epsilon would be the best match followed by the delta (high polish). The epsilon is the newer finish so im not sure how many people even have this finish. But then again, im just piecing together info, vapin's post (Cloud9vaping) helped me with my theory.

Then again, i usually have no clue what im talking about, lol:blink:

LOL you're right about one thing for sure, an ...-kisser like me is waiting nice and long too. I have absolutely no idea when mine will arrive and I don't care one iota. :)

I have the gamma, and color wise, it doesn't match a single mod that I own. It looks best on my brushed poldiac so far.

I still predict that the unnamed brushed kayfuns sold by vaperev a couple days ago will arrive as epsilons, not gammas. There are subtle clues hinting at this, but I won't bore you with details. Well, in any case, estimated delivery is Tuesday, and que sera, sera.

I am so glad one of David's big fans is finally feeling the way I am! That is exactly what I am talking about. How is it that a bunch of people had there mods shipped right away and we are waiting for a week after receiving a tracking number? He can post pictures of boxes all day long but when it comes right down to it what is really going on is that he has a ton of orders for the simplicity which are going out before ours. Even though we paid months ago. And by the way, now I know why it took so long for the ELA to be produced. Obviously the simplicity was getting plenty of production time and man-hours.

I really don't care who I piss off, aggravate, annoy, etc. David you have had my money since January 13th. A lot of money in my world. The estimate was 6 - 8 weeks. It has been 21 weeks now.

I found the perfect solution for you!

I think I'm jumping on this next week. Does anyone know the current wait times on the ELA? And will it accept a synthesis or foggy 22? My back up is a fecta, but who knows when those will be available and if i'll be at my computer for those five minutes. :glare:

we dont know the exact wait time, purchase one and forget about it. You will drive yourself crazy wondering when it will come. Then one day go to mail box and it will be there in all its precise glory!!

Nobody could be more unhappy about the time frame dragging on than David himself... geeez.
He's got a business to run, and now he's making sure that SuperT's QC is up to its excellent standard by fitting each unit personally.
Good grief if it wasn't for his high standards, we either wouldn't be on the preorder list or we would be crying about how lousy it was not to mention sending them back for QC issues.

seems like my Beta Kayfun will match my satin ELA.... i have a polished ELA coming too. I'm not .... about it though; not knocking you perfectionists; you take after David... :)

Is it out of the question to do a dual coil on the Kayfun?

Dang i just got a triple post dripper and WOW double WOW... 2 x 1.0 Ohm coils makes a .5 Ohm vape (silica)... I wouldn't have believed it but NEVER a better vape.... full, warm, flavorful, clean.... its like instant gratification just went to a new level... LOL.

Aint no one kissing a$@ here.... You obviously havent ordered high end products before........things take time and then there are delays for whatever reasons...
Years ago when I had my FFL, I was building my gun collection and had ordered a custom McMillan rifle with Scope for $4200.00, I was told it would take around 3-4 months to complete..needless to say after numerous phone calls it finally showed up, 11 months later....Im no sharpshooter but could still put 3 shots in a 1/2 inch group @ 100 yards, the finished product was worth the extra wait... Thats what its all about when your order from a small manufacture that has a high demand...You want their product, then there is no whining:cry: in line as we are all in the same boat. It is what it is!!

To the one who asked about a Kick.... i'd go ahead and get one. I'm sure it'll fit with an 18490 AW IMR... no?
They don't cost a lot and you will have your cake and eat it too...

Myself, no need; I've been doing RBA's at sub 1.0 and won't look back, but in the meantime you will have the ability to do either.

Goodness ya done quoted my post where I can't even edit it. I need to glue a sticky to my computer not to comment before I have had my coffee and a good solid hard vape!

It is a mod for goodness sake, I was grouchy this morning, tired didn't want to be awake wanted to be all snuggly in my bed. Went to church this morning and it was a great service, you know always when I have the hardest time getting my tail end up, they have the best services.


To finish my thought, it is a mod, it isn't some major life changing event, I know David strives to make it just right. I am okay over here, saddened but I am sure that will change once my baby gets to me.

Search youtube for kayfun dual coil. There are a few how-tos there.

Regarding the ELA. Estimate is still for first batch to be all shipped by weeks end. (thru order 15288).

Regarding the Simplicity holding up ship times on the ELA: it is not in anyway holding up shipment of your ELA's. Several reasons:

1. The Simplicity, like the Vapemate, T-Tips and Kiklet is a minimal to no prep unit. I do not assemble the Simplicity. Super T consists of several team members other than myself more then capable of assembling this "Simple" unit.

2. I have enough ELA parts made up to assemble approximately 400 units. Machine time on the Simplicity did not, has not and will not effect the ELA ship times or production times.

3. I am the only final assembler on the ELA. Each and everyone gets the final finishing, fitting and testing by me personally. My other employess do not do the final assembly, they only do preassembly work (which consists mainly of polishing tubes, caps etc). I am the bottleneck, not the other products we carry or the other employees.
