I'm order #546. Placed on March 28. I'm on 30 working business days and with the new delay on DNA30 boards I'm hoping mine will be shipped by the end of this month or first week of next month. I still wouldn't cancel the order because of the delay. Protovapor is being upfront with what is going on and doing their best to accommodate everyone. I'm sure it will be worth the wait.

I agree. Besides I've waited to long to have a dna mod. No way I'm backing out now.

I am Order # 625, placed on April 12th and still nothing. Thinking about contacting them and asking for a refund with the recent news of no dna boards shipped to them. There are so many other nice DNA-30 devices out there that there is no reason to wait for them. Not to mention the DNA 30 Hana Modz DNA 30 clones are coming soon for $80 or I could pick up a Vapor Shark for $50 less?
Vaporsharks are OK, but they have half the battery capacity and look kinda goofy with a full-sized (22mm) topper on 'em.

Full-sized Hanas are OK, but they're bloody bulky.

I own all three. I've got a second XPV on order. I have little interest in owning a second Vaporshark or Hana.

Yea, I'm not canceling. Not a chance! The only way my order can be cancelled, is if Protovapor were forced to stop making the mod, which I highly doubt they would do, before my order is built. The XPV 30D is going in my collection, one way or another! Even if I had to pay the high bid price on eBay to get one, I would... I'm pretty sure I'm going to come up with different end caps, down the road. We'll see what happens.

He did. It was on a page earlier. Hehe. :D

i have order #507 still waiting on the shipped update someone else was wondering about where the orders fell timewise, i ordered march 21st according to my math it has been 41 business days i would expect my XPV to get shipped next week (around 5/21) with these Evolv delays taken into account, id also like to let everyone know if you havent gotten your order yet you can now buy replacement batteries directly from the website, Protovapor used to handle replacement batteries (with connectors) and the connectors themselves only by Paypal but i have issues with Paypal and they were nice enough to put them up on the website for direct ordering

columbus,oh
It has a sony vtc 4 in it
Yeah, my 20's have the 2900 Panasonic's in them. They are nail drivers.
The 30 was purchased in the first week of March. Not sure what battery is in it. I honestly didn't know there was a different battery for the 30's. Am sure I read it but it must have slipped my mind until you said it again since I wasn't planning on buying a 30.
It is a noticeable difference.

Don't do it man... you will be kicking yourself later. I have had my XPV for a while now and all I can say is wow! XPV ROCKS!:headbang:

I don't care how much or little you pay for a Vaporshark or a Hana, you will not beat the Customer service of Protovapor IMO.

Tomorrow is day 40(business days)for me so I am still within the lead time posted by Protovapor.This little bit of a wait for an excellent PV is nothing after waiting out seven months for my Precise ELA,this is like childs play here compared to that.
Keep your chins up fellas :toast:,we are all waiting on one unique DNA30 PV and I am sure it will be worth the wait.Everyone gets that itch to want to have the PV you paid for in hand and you will just not as quick as we would like.

Counting the day I ordered it I'm at 33 days. So I figure I could get the notice any day now.

Yup, 32 here now... too bad every day seems like 2 or 3 days to me...lol

At least I have a mech with VTC5's, and low resistance builds in my KFL+ Nanos' to help me through the wait...
 
Got my shipping notice last night! #519 is on it's way. Hang in there guys. (Says the man with no fingernails) ordered 24/03/14

So you waited about 2 1/2 months to get yours. If every number is indeed an actual order then they are about 100 units behind at this point. I'm order 625 and ordered a couple weeks after you. They must have had a huge surge of orders at the end of April beginning of March time frame. Things are not looking too good for old Protovapor, they better step up production soon or I'm cancelling.

Got shipping notice for my order #522 as well, also placed on 3/24.

Where do you get 2-1/2 months? Today's date is 5/22. That's less than two months.

Having used an XPV as my go-to mod since mid January (the new one I have coming is my second one) I think you'd regret that. I know I regret not having re-entered my order right away when my original order for a second/backup XPV (placed in mid-Feb) went into limbo for a week due to the website re-design that occurred right around then. If you cancel, maybe you'll find something that has a better combination of performance, usability, and value, that will ship sooner? If so, be sure to let us know what it is. ;)
