Prodigy Shipping Thread...

Order# 16570 Status: The Prodigy V1 (801/Pen) Processing Order date: May 29, 2009
When do you think my order will ship? I know there were a lot of people ahead of me so I just would like some Idea. I thought I read they would all be sent out in a week but I might be wrong. Just excited the thought of not spending a 1/3 of my life changing batteries excites me

...on vacation Friday.

Edit: Hey Steve, I'll try and remember to send you a picture of me vaping on the prodigy in Carlsbad Caverns, or maybe on top of Pikes Peak. Maybe even one on top of the Stratosphere in Vegas.

If you manage to get travel pics w/ the Prodigy post 'em for the rest of us!

LOL, maybe I had better take pictures of my wife using it instead.
I will post some.

mine shipped yesterday! The only bad thing is I have to leave town early tomorrow so if I don't get it today then I will not have it for my vacation. So keep your fingers crossed that I get it today. I only live 3-4 hrs from PS so maybe it will.

 

[green-lantern]

Hey Green ... I can go ahead and do that since you paid for shipping on the 2nd order. Will ship the USBpass alone when it comes in and send your Prodigy and parts now.

You are the Man!!!!

Received my notice yesterday: Your order has shipped. (Order#: 16254 placed on 5/8/2009). Wishing USPS provided better tracking information. I'm in the Midwest...so hopefully will have by Thursday or Friday. ; )

The original run was for 1,000 units.

Brian

right, not how many were being made, how many of the 1000 that were sold.

that was my original curiosity. plus some of those are going to the UK if i understand correctly.

 

[Momof3]

Hmmm. Lowest I think I've seen was Cancer's #16011 and highest was #166XX. But not everyone of those in between ordered a Prodigy, so.....

Haven't looked at the UK threads, but I'm thinking probably coming close to the original 1000 between the 2. Maybe a little over/under. 800? That's my guess anyways.

Mines #16290. No shipping notice yet, but I've got an adapter on there that will probably hold it up a couple weeks. May have to do the separate shipping if I get too jealous of all the other's reviews as they come in.

Mine's lucky number 16400. I only ordered the prodigy set, so I'm hoping it'll get to me by the end of this week. My 801 batteries all started dying in quick succession! It's like they knew they were being replaced.

My batteries are all dying too!

 

[walkstheplanes]

My batteries are all dying too!

It's pretty upsetting! I only have two that I can trust, and I'm afraid they'll go at any moment. One of them is slowly dying out on me, as well. I was planning on giving them to a friend who has just started vaping.

I haven't gotten a "Shipped" notice yet, but I'm hoping their automated systems are just slow.

I know what you mean! I sure hope the PTs come in today so my Prodigy will ship-should have put them on 2 orders I guess!! I had to order attys for my 401 and 510 last Friday, now my batteries!!

 

[Momof3]

If my PT and batts were dropping like crazy I'd have already e-mailed Casey about separate shipping.

I haven't mentioned the Prodigy to any of them, so no equipment dying of jealousy yet.

Did finally tell DH about it yesterday though. He brought one of his company's higher ups over for a demo and loaner kit. Seemed like a good time to mention my latest purchase.

I asked but since my 2nd order is also free shipping, they said they couldn't do it! Oh well.....(sigh)

I knew to not ask,its just one of those things. With preorders,you generally have so many order components..it sucks sometimes. With my VaporKing preorder from Vapor4Life, i had waited 32 days past the original shipping date, by the time it shipped they were out of half the liquid i ordered.So he threw in some carts. Preorders tend to be a crapshoot of sorts. My PS3 preorder, was the only one I can remember going off without a hitch

18 more Prodigy's going out today.

USBpass' *should* start shipping tomorrow. We are hoping for atleast 10-15 ...

The last minute issue we were having. Grounding off the switch (to the housing) was hit and miss. We had roughly 25 ready to go, but 10-12 of them failed because of this ... So, have now completely switched around the wiring ... Wiring the switch hott instead of the ground, and now grounding it squeezed across the grommett/housing so it should never move (consider the grommet has to be freakin hammered in place!) LOL

MAN OH MAN STEVE.

this is totally irrelevant, but you just reminded me of how it SUCKS to find out last minute all your ideas and concepts don't quite work the way you want

and again, not a comparison by any means...but just a random bs story to keep the thread entertained...haha....

this past halloween i had my costume all planned out, all these little accessories and things i was goin to do, blah blah.

so the night comes, i start getting ready around 6pm, and find out step by step that EVERYTHING i had sorted out failed.

my foam latex prosthetic didn't fit.

my spirit gum didn't tack well and hold it.

my "brown" makeup wasn't brown, but a mixer and looked terrible.

my fitting for my teeth came undone and i had to find denture cream to fix them.

my claws wouldn't attach to my fingers.

jeez i'll stop there.

let's just say, 5 hours later...yes, FIVE HOURS LATER, i had a working costume, that should have taken about 1.5 hrs.

so there's my non-productive...stupid story of the day.

oh, when i get home i'll post a pic if anyone wants to see my "big bad wolf" i did.

carry on steve

Thanks for the update Steve!

I don't know that it pertains to anything other than the Prodigy itself and Steve can correct me if I'm wrong, but I seem to remember him saying they would put a Prodigy aside for each order that was incomplete vs just going ahead and shipping it out to fulfill another order. That way whenever the rest of your order was ready, there wouldn't then also be a wait for another round of Prodigys to be done. Not sure if that would also apply to the rest of an order. IDK, so far out of several pre-orders with different suppliers, I've only ever had issues with one.

Violetvoo-Any chance of offering to pay for shipping? Would that change anything? Worth a shot if you're super desperate.

 

[CaSHMeRe]

Yes Mom ... You are correct.

We have been setting aside (in order) Prodigy's that are simply missing a USBpass, etc... We have a closet full of orders sitting with Prodigy's, just waiting on a missing part.

also, will try and get a couple pictures of the final PT tonight ... Its Hawt

Also... Walrus, yours should be shipping tomorrow. 6v/3.7v version.

Another thing ... Anyone against just going with 6' 20AWG from the get go? Anyone really want a 3 footer? 28G wire is junk to solder cleanly.
