Regarding the ELA. Estimate is still for first batch to be all shipped by weeks end.

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 them. Super T consists of several team members 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.

David, thanks for this. After having received other mods that I had to "mod" before I could even use them I am happy to wait. The Simplicity and the ELA will be my first Super T products and your commitment to ensuring they are of the highest quality before leaving your premises is worth more to me than getting them a little bit earlier. And your willingness "be the bottleneck" and accept criticism and complaints from customers in pursuit of providing the highest quality is to be admired!

kayfun is already in town, it will for sure be here tomorrow! Hey out of 3 tracking numbers, I at least have one to celebrate about. :closedeyes:


David, thank you for the update. Are you waiting to complete all the orders in batch 1 before shipping the ones that you have already sent tracking for? Or did you send tracking numbers already for the entire batch 1?

Well, I got my shipping notice. And I have a custom polished kayfun 3.1 on the way. Next week will be fun.

Knowing my track record I probably won't like the kayfun and the ELA will end up with an RDA or a Cisco 510 on it. Guess I'll find out.

Theres nothing wrong with a Cisco spec. on any MOD.

Friend got his Simplicity in the mail yesterday, and I got a chance to vape it. For a lil 14500 the thing vaped as hard or harder than my "The Curves" with a 20 amp max out 18650 that was fully charged. Very impressed to say the least...... also love that the lock is part of the mod itself...... Nothing more irritating then trying to lock your device only to have your battery and button end up on the ground lol. My ELA #'s are getting closer and closer can't wait :D

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.

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.

Yes you can dual coil a kayfun. All you are doing is doubling the steps. I suggest not piggy backing, rather side by side. The longer your wire the more prone to hotspots and higher ohm. Be careful not to short the kayfun, I had it melt a spring on me

yeah i imagine (since I haven't done it other than on this Forge with 3 posts) that i'll do them on either sides of the posts.
I know this has been going on with other attys, like dripper iGo's etc...
You know when two coils are so close together, and the tails are sharing posts, i wonder what would happen if one tail from one coil sneaks out and touches part of the coil for the other wick/coil... does it matter?

You can twist the .30 because .28 gets thick twisted. Take a pen with a pocket clasp and loop the wire around it. Take the two open ends and use needle nose pliers or similar and twist it till it snaps off the pen. Make a long one and you will have spare coil ready to go for next build. Use a multimeter, don't guess the resistance, but that's super sub ohm even with fat wick and 3/4 wrap. You will be choking like nach in his video :D.
