It depends on the ELA model you ordered. The default (at least with the rings that come with the ELA), is to have them match the ELA... So, satin ELAs get satin rings, polished ELAs get polished rings. If you wanted something other than the default, you could have specified it in the comment box at checkout.
If you bought a satin ELA and want polished rings for torching, shoot Dave an email. I'm 99% sure that it wouldn't be a problem. It may, however, be an issue if you want to switch from polished to satin, being that the satin option has been removed from the order site.
Of course I'm not Dave, so the above is pure speculation...
It could be a problem,i remember dave posting a while back that there would only be a certain amount of rings made with the second batch.So,i am pretty sure changing them at this point might not be possible,and i could be wrong???

I think at first David was offering people to put the choice of finish for the accent rings in the comment box. Then he stopped all together offering the satin accent rings. Only way to get the satin rings was to purchase a satin ELA. At first though yes you could comment to which ones you preferred.
With the order # I would safely say you got polished rings coming.

He ordered an extra set of stainless rings - they would be polished unless he put satin in the order notes or contacted David by email. Technically the only finish available for extra accent rings is polished.
Sweet thanks for the quick and numerous replies everyone. Hoping an extra set of polshed rings come through. Now time to meditate and wait.....ohhhhhhhmmmmm... Preferably at around 0.9-1.1 hehe!
Watt? Ohm man, that joke has too high resistance for my brain.
MAN oh man, has anyone been over to the GG or COV forums? Its all out lunacy. If anyone thinks that waiting since December sucks, Imagine spending hours and hours trying to buy an item and the site crashes.
THey are really upset and demanding Imeo find another vendor or boycott them. I just dont understand that sort of thinking. Im sure COV probably needs larger or more servers but that can be really costly for certain sales that only happen a couple days a year.
People dont realize that its worldwide, think of the thousands and thousands trying to sign in, view the same pages and trying to check out at the same time.
Im sure Bruce doesnt want to make people unhappy nor turn away business, but it just a sucky system. Pre-orders are the only way. Enough people complained that the pre-order was terrible and that paying up front and waiting sucked, but this is the outcome.
Im so glad that I dont really like GG PVs or Id never have one if it meant fighting and getting frustrated.
So just hug your ELAs if you have them or if you are waiting for yours, just know that you WILL get it, without the frenzy and disappointment.

but yeah i caught a glimpse of some madness on Facebook about that issue.. geese 
Ok guys, well I fiddled with the ELA again 
.
After a week + of owning I will add this..
PROS: made to destroy tanks, easy adjustment center pin, the best quality I've yet to experience in PVs, attention to most details
CONS: tapered bottom, finicky locking ring, exposed telescopic tube, too many parts that screw in the same direction, switch feel
SCORE: 7.5/10

This makes me want the kayfun real bad! How long is that set up? it looks huge!

I got the email tried to see if I could get one even though I gave up a long time ago it's just not in the cards for me lol..........I like the relaxed way Super T operates as far as preorders goes. The whole rush to buy thing has never been my cup of tea. Tried it once, wanted to take my computer out back and shoot it lol. Can't wait for mine after i've seen all the pictures
Let me preface this by saying I do agree it is silly for things to get out of hand over mod.
At the same time, being in the industry, it isn't expensive to run a site that can easily support the load generated by large numbers of requests for a web store.
The real problem is:
1) These mod-makers are still figuring things out, so accurate ETAs generally do not exist.
2) People are spending money regardless as they feel the mods are worth it for whatever reasons be it exclusivity (many other mods seem to be this) or something else like quality and fit/finish (ELA being an example of this).
3) Many people don't know the technical side and rely on outside companies to help them find web store solutions, and many of these companies are unscrupulous and way oversold/are poorly written webapps.
Almost all of the ecig web stores frustrate me to no end; either people are DIYing to save a few bucks (this is silly, what is $1000 for an online store pulling that in every day?) or they are paying the wrong people because many online shops are horrible in design and site responsiveness.
As long as alternatives aren't provided by someone that compete, there is really no incentive for change. Why fix something that isn't broken? If the financials I've seen of retail locations are any indicator of what online shops are making, folks are making great money with insane markup/profit margins.
This is one reason I really like David's operation. His website is fairly useable, and he has been transparent about the issues getting the ELAs out the door. It sounds like there is a lot more work in assembly and final fitment than he anticipated, but instead of shipping substandard product he is hand fitting and finishing everything himself. That is obviously going to take some time, but I am grateful for it, even if it is irritating at the same time. I suspect the estimated times on David's next masterpiece will be more realistic. I hope so, because I imagine it will be on my shopping list. Hopefully things have been learned and future ETAs will be spot on!
I think the selling points David has going for him regarding quality, openness and honesty, attention to detail, and David's communication with everyone are what drives the community around his mods. There really is a great group of folks here posting, and it really stands out when compared to other mod forum threads.
PS - sure hope I get a shipping notice soon, I really am looking forward to the ELA and all of these pictures are driving me nuts! For those running pure mechanical with Kayfun and the ELA, what gauge Kanthal are you running, with how many wraps? I'm used to low ohm genesis coils on mech mods but I'm hearing with Kayfuns you want to go higher. Since it's noted often that David's mods are extremely good in conductivity, it may be even more important to wrap a higher ohm coil. Any insight would be highly appreciated.
Hey, can someone mail me one or two of those tapered luer lock filling tips for filling the Kayfun? I've got some ordered from the land of Chih-nah, but they won't be here until late July.
People are crazy. This is the kind of crap that happens when you build up so much hype, it is to be expected. I like the surprise "I have a new product and it is in stock now" or "pre-order is open now"! Plus David is in the united states. If I have a problem with one of my devices, I don't have to pay to ship it to greece then include another 25 bucks with it. My opinion of course!

all that craziness, and it looks like you could simply order a SS GGTS from the site this morning
