Qualifications For the ALPHA™ Program & ALL ALPHA Product Discussion HERE- Check Here For New Alpha Products

i know some things are under your control, like shipping. i just dont understand why you (gotvapes) say tuesday when you know full well receiving orders can vary. shouldnt you know this by now? i dont see the point in naming specific dates until you actually have the product.

IMO its part of their marketing strategy. Its keeps people glued to the site and forum for updates while increasing the time spent looking at other products launching. The hype for the RAVEN line started a while back and that product hasn't dropped but look at how many want it without even really knowing what it can do.

How many things in your life are "for sure", and never vary from "the plan".
Lighten up. Unless you are making and stocking a product yourself, you are in the hands of everyone else involved.
As far as naming a day for anything ... that's what people like to hear. We like something that seems concrete so we can work it into "our ever changing plans". That's just life and the way it goes. It's way too short to get all worked up over a late delivery. Unless of course it's a transplant heart or a kidney someone is waiting for. That I'll admit is entirely acceptable to get peeved about.
No hard feelings. Wednesday was on my schedule this week to rant about something. I'm done and on time.

[BonnyC]

Hey billy2boots, hope to see you in here soon!

Were the Scorpions always 2.45 each? I could have sworn they were about $3. Well, next time I purchase, I might throw a couple in my cart. That's really cheap for tips. They're good tips! Maybe y'all should scrap them but harvest the tips and resell

Are the scorpions that bad? I just recently got into alpha and should be getting one of those and a rocket kit in the mail today.

Well, some people had good luck with them. I think more had bad experiences. They crack like crazy and won't hardly wick at all. Briar made a post in this thread somewhere saying that you should fill one and leave it overnight so the wicks can soak the juice up as much as possible. I didn't do this with either of mine, so I dunno. Maybe you'll be one of the lucky ones! At least you got some really cheap drip tips. The rocket has been well received aside from some issues that I don't understand. It's all in this thread if you wanna go digging.

I have good luck with mine, have 4 in my regular rotation, but I am not a high voltage vaper...even with my Rocket I rarely go over 3.5. They are not my favorite clearo in the world, but as long as they have some for $2.45 I will get more...and I'll vape with them, not just salvage the tips

Dan said that they're gonna be getting more so others can try them out. They're most likely gonna put these on the main site once a minor detail or two is worked out. He asked the people who bought one to keep their hands off, so maybe you'll be able to snag one! There were only 15 that went out initially, hopefully there'll be more than that in the next shipment.

Case in point!

I also liked my Scorpions. The first one did crack and started leaking at the bottom. After that, I would give a new one a light coat of super glue around the bottom of the tube before I filled them. No more cracks or leaking.

 

[magentaman]

With my juices the 3 I have filled all cracked. One had cracks from top to bottom and leaked. But they worked well in all other respects. Good flavor and good vapor production. I see some other vendors showing pictures of a very similar unit with a replaceable carto. IMHO if the manufacturer were to address the tank cracking and make the cart replaceable, they would have a nice product. Not being able to replace the carto would make me lean towards something that has serviceable innards.

Good idea...I'm going to put a light coat of superglue on all of mine. Might as well exercise some prevention!

Out of curiosity, did the Phoenix Tanks ever go through alpha?

Nope, I think they where out before alpha started but not sure.

 

[rdsok]

No... they will be going directly to the main product list once they actually come in. Alpha products are mainly going to be ones that there are questions of if they are a good product or not... such as ones coming from a new company, or use a new technology that hasn't been tested elsewhere a lot already...

He said phoenix not raven.

 

[The Hill Giant]

My bad. I did actually mean the new phoenix raven tank, not the phoenix ce3 tank.

 

[badkolo]

the phoenix tank going to alpha is the rebiuildable that has the name phoenix already, so we might kee that name since its called that already.

the raven is a main entry product.
