Vapor Range responded to my email. They stated they do have V5s in stock. I requested pricing and finishes. I expect it will be tomorrow before they respond a second time. I will update you when I hear from them once again.
From reading some of the Yelp reviews about VR and some details from their website it seems that they do wholesale distribution in addition to retail as part of their business model. It could be that they have V5 stock on hand available for wholesale distribution that they do not list for sale on their retail site. It could be a matter of this business deciding whether or not they want to list V5s for retail sale. So, if you are interested in a V5 or a rainbow V5 or any other V5 from VR then emails from other interested buyers might produce some results.

There is the potential for a group buy. We will see how this develops.

Not saying it needs a complaint. Saying that you gave them a sale opportunity that they didn't take advantage of.

That's definatlley not a first and the price paid for being in a young industry. I think many of the early businesses were started by people with no business or sales experience. I wouldn't be surprised if the email went to a web tech. Not an excuse but an explaination. The store is well reviewed on Yelp, Google, etc.

Maybe some answers will arrive on Monday. Business emails have a way of slowing down on weekends. I'm waiting on shipping confirmation for a radio I ordered from Amazon last week. They don't work on weekends.

At first I read "they don't work during the week". LOL. It must be past my bedtime.

Yzer, just checked out the 909x, looks excellent, the latest Sang I had was the 909 ( rebranded radio shack ) .....Had some issues with the tuning and volume knob .......looks like the X is on my short list :) ......back to vaping....sorry for the hijack:)
Doesn't like we hve any vital Sigelei topics running right now so don't worry about hijacking the thread. I'm hoping that the 909X has the same build quality as the 606 I'm using right now. My 606 is rebranded as Radio Shack DX-399. I had to open it up once to fix a loose ground on the back panel, otherwise it still works perfectly after a lot of use. I had to use electronic spray cleaner and lube on the slide switches and volume control pot a couple of times over the 15 years but that's normal maintenance. I like that the new 909X has an RF gain pot, a choice of IF filters and upper and lower SSB capability. That brings it a little closer to the R390A and SP-600 performance world.

    Greetings, I got to love my Zmax V5 but I hate to say I like my Zmax mini even better! (fits in my pocket better) Both are well made, the menu system took a bit of getting used to however once I got used to that they seem to be reliable VV/VW mods. I also like the fact that they are DUAL mode (VV/VW). Sometimes I like to run my tanks at a mere 3.5V and other times I like to crank up the watts (for me anyway) at 10W.

    Nether of them are "all day" vapes and require swapping batteries at some point (the mini more than the max). I've never noticed them getting warm. My only complaint is that with a spring in the battery compartment they could make it a bit longer to make it easier to swap batteries.

    Nicely done Sigelei, I might look at their dual 18650 box mods next. (more for battery life then pure power)

    (my Vamo v10 just arrived(purchased because of the 3-button design): 3-55W - can't imagine - I rarely run my 1.8ohm setups over 10W, I like the menu of my Sigelei's better)
