Receiving line - P18

[Big Hitter]

No shipping notice or anything yet for me. Ordered 11-18 .... #4041.
I know it will be worth the wait, but its tough.

The remainder of shipping notices should go out today for the Christmas order P18's that were placed by the Nov 27th Christmas order deadline.

My P18 arrived today and it exceeds all of my expectations. There's nothing to say that hasn't been said but a few things are worth repeating. It's beautifully made, perfectly finished, finely machined, and rugged like a tank. This is my first 18650 mod and though waiting several hours for the full charge was excruciating, the multi-hour performance is well-worth the wait.

Thanks David! I am way beyond satisfied with this purchase. I'll try to get a picture up in the next couple of days. The look with a chrome atty and a stainless wide-mouth shorty is pretty cool.

It's always good to hear this type of feedback! I've said it before, but it really keeps me sharp on my game to hear people are appreciating the prep work that goes into each and every device. I sell art, not pv's

...... I sell art, not pv's

And that's a fact!!!

It amazes me that even after a couple of months the excitement of owning my P16 and P18 has not worn off... Can't wait to see what 2011 brings.

Shipping notice received!!! YAAAHHHHOOOO!!! Almost time for those dancing bananas! I'm not expecting it before Christmas but if it does happen to arrive before then its a bonus. Thanks David for pushing so hard to get those out today. I know you worked over the weekend to get them done. Much appreciated.

 

[Big Hitter]

Wooo Hoooooo !!

Tough time to count on usps, so not sure I will be vaping it on Christmas.
But its on the way.

Thanks David .... You da man!

Well...I double-checked the USPS site tonight and sure enough it was in the mailbox...so went up the road to the box and got my very own P18 out and brought it home! It's an awesome little setup! It has a nice heft, flawless switch throw, and just feels right! Best of all..it's 100% mechanical...and really lets me get all my batteries have to give. I don't think I'll ever go back to electronic switches..they are just doomed to fail and are the next weakest link in the chain..besides the obvious intermittent quality of China atties...LOL! I like the satin finish...no buffing, polishing or guilt over a few fingerprints!

Thx David for making such a quality product!

Ohh..and PS: the LR 306 is awesome too!!

Thanks David you did it, I got my shipping notice today. If everything falls into place I should have my P-18 on Christmas eve PERFECT!!! to all a Merry Christmas and to all a good night.....

You said it! when I tell my friends(they think pv's are a fad or something trendy) that my P18650 is a work of mechanical art,
they think i've lost my mind.I ordered the 16340 after using the 18650 for 4-5hrs. It's that lmpressive!! If all pv's had such attention
to fit,finish,and overall value,-the market might dry up! All you need is a couple of pv's from SuperT,some juice,batteries,and atty's
and you would be good to go!

Gee, I thought we weren't supposed to post in this thread until we had our P18 in our little hands.
But, since everyone seems to be neglecting that directive ...
I got my Click-N-Ship notice yesterday.
And, USPS tracking shows it cleared the Sauk Rapids, MN sorting facility late this afternoon.

My new masterpiece has arrived and all can say is "WHAT A AWESOME PIECE OF ART" It was well worth the 4 ½ week of torture wait!!!! The brass end caps set the whole tone for one very classy PV, I mean Art, sorry David! The button is so smooth, the finish is flawless. I’m at a loss for words, so now I must vape!!!! Another happy customer……

Thanks David,
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year

 

[vapn]

I'll second that!!! Got mine today as well and couldn't be happier with the quality of this fine piece of craftsmanship. There simply is no equal in the PV industry. WELL WORTH THE WAIT!!

I'm happy to find that my extra brass end button I bought for my P16 also fits nicely in my P18 so I have that option as well.

 

[Vaporologist]

Unleash the beast!!!


Congrats buddy! I'm super happy for you. Have a P kinda Christmas!

 

[Big Hitter]

The Eagle has landed here as well. One sweet unit for sure. With an Iken stainless atty and the contoured shorty its a thing of beauty.

Kinda funny I unscrewed the switch end first and looked in .... thought UH-OH no way is an 18650 fitting in here

Thanks for the hard work David, it will be treasured for years to come.

 

[HzG8rGrl]

Seems like everyone is Precisely SuperT happy. Merry Christmas, everyone.

So, USPS online tracking is pretty much useless, IMO. But, I was hoping for today. And when I got home from work and found the box in my box ... I couldn't wait to get into the house and rip that sucker open! Kinda like digging into a Christmas stocking when I was a kid ... I ordered some extras and everything was carefully bubble packed. But, I opened several of those wrappers before I found the main prize ... pure torture, haha.

Then, when I finally found the P18, I was seriously crestfallen. Oh no! He sent me a P16 accidentally. Woe is me. Ah, the relief when I realized my mistake. Glad to know I'm not the only one Big Hitter:

Man, I really wish I had a charged battery. But, the two AWs I ordered are on charge. While I wait, I'm checking out my purdy VapeMate on my TorneGo. And I'll have time to read, and re-read the instructions provided ... which I most definitely wouldn't have done first if I had a charged battery on hand (my bad).

It looks perfect. I'm having second thoughts about my previous thoughts about only using the P18 at home and for special occasions. We may be inseparable. I gather the beveled top cap was not possible, so be it, it's still awesome. I know you worked hard to get these last orders out for delivery pre-Christmas, and I thank you!

Four and a half hours after getting home. Read the directions while the batteries charged. Inserted the extra O-Ring as directed and fully assembled the P18. At first, I got no fire whatsoever. Two additional washers were required (for a total of 3). Got this beauty firing now!
Playing with the VapeMate ... I think I'm going to like my Christmas present to me!

I thought maybe someone else might find it helpful to note that they might have to add a washer or two. I guess that depends on the specific battery though.

This is gonna be a mainstay for me. Thanks David, good job!

Thanks .. for me with the AW 2900 mah flat top I had to take the 1 washer out and run with none.
With the 1 in as it came mine fired when I sat it down.

Working like a champ though. I have barely put it down since I got it.
SOOO PRETTY !!! AND SHINEY !!!

AHHH !!!!! The debate between p16 and p18 is killing me..
