SMOK Guardian 2

That's a good question since I keep seeing different prices for them as well as some vendors listing as in stock mainly in Hong Kong or Singapore at the present time. The first always seems to be the Albaba.com site mainly being the wholesale outlet for that region apparently. Supposedly the first vendor I spoke with said they should in stock there as long as there were no problems with customs coming in. The date I was give was the 15th at Happy Vaper which would be a week from saturday for the Canadian vendor there.

The other place is located in Texas and by the looks of their page already have them in. That's why that vendor will be the next stop here to make an inquiry and their listing isn't just something still pending or they had some in early and were sold out on the spot. They take Euros and Pounds suggesting they take international orders. I can't rule out the possibility they already have them in while the other few vendors were put on hold until more distribution takes place.

In the meantime I was looking over the photo gallery at the Freight Train epipe mods site there and noticed a few items of interest. The question is what would the specifications be like the ranges for both VV and VW or is that something you have to specify you want to the vendor there? From what I see they look more like automatic mods rather then manual since they lack a button at least on top of the main body.

UPDATE on Vapestation: Apparently they are still waiting as well for the arrival. When going to add one to the shopping cart "this item is not available at this time. It will be on back order."They were the only US vendor to even be found with a page for it so far. Others are busy with the eleaf iStick selling out like crazy, The dna 50, and the God Mod 180w.

Another BUMP with something translated from a Slovokian vendor

"Expected date of the put-away in a 30.11.2014 package contents 1. SMOK Guardian Epipe Mod II. 2. Cap thread Packaging does not include battery and charger eGo"

That indicates that one is not expecting the Guardian v2 until November 30th not this week. Hopefuly the Canadian vendor Happy Vapor is correct with the inquiry the chat person made for me!

ALERT! ALERT! Just found two US vendors with listing for the Guardian v2 one for a great price still not in yet and one presently in stock for about $20 more! The best price is $49.95 at Sweet-vapes! http://sweet-vapes.com/smoktech-guardian-epipe-ii.html

The vendor with it in stock is Smokstore.us asking $69.90 seen at http://www.smokstore.us/Guardian Epipe Mod II

Made an inquiry and waiting for reply at Sweet-Vapes about the two color choices for all stainless with wood or the one with the gold button and trimming. But I'll still take the solid stainless if the gold isn't available soon! Black Friday may cover that?! :D

The $20 difference between vendors is for the full kit versus the mod only seen at Sweet - Vapes.


Package include

1pc* Guardian E-pipe II

1pc* Thread cone

1pc* Epower Charger

1pc* 18350 battery

1pc* User manual

1pc* Gift Box

Still kinds excited about the smok guardian.

Nighthawk the freight train is a DNA powered epipe, they used to offer different versions but for a while it was only DNA30 now they are going to offer the dna40. It is not an auto pipe there is a little button on the side


I feel no need to sign my posts...

I was looking around after creating a new account even adding the Guardian to the shopping cart at the first vendor's site and noticed it seems to be an outlet site for the US but may be still overseas. There they offer free shipping which helps but why wait two more weeks if located in China or Hong Kong?

As for the Freight Train mods there they have a page full of photos but no other information on any of the models shown. I figured they would be manual to begin with since it was the old version of the Smoktech DSE series epipes that saw an automatic model. I certainly don't want to run into anything like the DSE601 again! I missed out on the 601C which would have been much better seeing the 510 threading not some plastic inserts for tanks.

Here's a snapshot of how the DSE610 looks. http://i62.tinypic.com/2qd7jm9.jpg

UPDATE AGAIN! This came in after my inquiry to Sweet Vapes letting them know that several people were interested in getting this one!

Hi David, We hope to have them in a week or 2, they just told us today that as soon as the rest of our order was ready they would ship them. As soon as we know they are in country we will put them up

I've ordered from them several times as well and find they have an excellent rep. When replying back I let them know that they were the first US vendor with the Guardian v2 listed so far. At the Smokstore.us some of the product information I found was off like material: Aluminum, wood instead of Stainless steel, wood which is what you read at the Smoktech manufacturer's product page.

I'm hoping to see the gold version once this mod is available in a week or so. But I will still grab the stainless color while the gold would look a little better. :D

Just had an exchange with the other vendor who apparently sells retail for Smoktech in the states to check up on why the material showed aluminum and not stainless steel as well as how long for shipping where I got this back.

I would prefer one with the gold colored button and trim on the adjuster since I saw that in some photos while others are simply all stainless. I thought that dressed it up a bit appearance wise and was hoping to see it stocked at a vendor until I came across your listing for having them available. The option to choose between all stainless or stainless with gold wasn't found.

ok, you need one with the gold color button and trim on the adjuster, right?

At this time I would be ordering one for personal use but I made it known about your listing for the Guardian II at a vaping forum since a good number of people have been waiting months for it especially with the gold button and trim on the adjuster.

NICE! I've been waiting for the one with the gold color button and trim on the adjuster. I thought I would let you know about the typo as far as the material since people will be expecting to see stainless as the material not aluminum.

You can see that some photos at some sites show the gold button with gold trim on the wattage adjuster while others show the other model being all stainless in color as far as the metal portion of the Guardian Epipe II.

Another update having just placed the order! I was just informed the gold color was simply a factory sample not the single all stainless model they are producting.

That would explain that one! I just placed an order for one with the mention of the gold version in the comments which can now be disregarded! While hoping to get it with the gold button the all stainless still looks great! The idea was to find a VWattage type e-pipe and Smoktech accommidated that! :D

Hey, my friend, i just have asked the somktech, and they told me the gold one just a sample for showing, actually they just produce ss one at their factory now. Regards Yours Paladin Name: Shenzhen TY

ss = stainless steel amd they are available in the full kit form through the vendor if you don't mind the week shipping time over waiting a week or two for a one to two day shipping. Payment there by way of PayPal of course.

If you lack a PayPal account you can sign up for one free and then add your regular credit card or prepaid debit card(not attached to any bank account for additional security) when then sees PayPal charge automatically or charge and pay later by uploading to PayPal using MoneyPak.

BUMP for availability at one site for SMOK Guardian Epipe Mod II

Just checked again at the Smokstore.us site on my order which was found still pending but saw this as well.

Product Code: Guardian Epipe Mod II
Availability: In Stock

That is for the full kit including an 18350 battery. I suspect a few ot the other vendors mentioned earlier will be seeing them in stock by the end of this week since the Canadian vendor Happy Vapes told me it was expected in by the 15th which was saturday but still shows pre-order status. Sweet-Vapes will be the next in line to check up on. Happy Vapes had mentioned some concern about customs delays there while on the live chat where the op made an inquiry. With Smokestore.us I suspect I will be getting an email notice for shipping by the end of the day however since the order was placed on thursday last week.

Smoktech Variable Voltage Guardian Epipe Mod II

Smok guardian e-pipe II is the newest variable wattage e-pipe mod which is made of wood+stainless steel,the wattage can be adjusted from 6w-15w.This mod comes with spring loaded conductive structure which will give better performance.

Notice:now it's pre-order,we will ship out in 7-13days
 
That's about right! Sweet-Vapes did have it listed for being shipped on Dec. 1st but now is now showing an uipdate. "Expected BY friday November 21st, or the following Monday " which will be this friday or next monday!

I suspect this will also be the case for the Smokstore.us order not shipping until at least friday as well despite the available status seen there. You have to remember regardless of which dealer the batches going out to each vendor will be coming in from the manufacturer who is based in China. I can imagine the volume of vendor wholesale orders for this one is quite large and why a certain delay is being seen.
 
hi,bro,i see one website pre-order now,the website name is smokstore.us

sorry,may be i can't paste the URL,or the webmaster will kick me out....

I just placed an order for the Guardian Epipe II last thursday night at smokestore.us

I wonder if the "thread cone" is going to be a needed part? I don't see any pics of that. Anyone see any pics of the full pipe not just the mod?

ALERT! ALERT! Just found two US vendors with listing for the Guardian v2 one for a great price still not in yet and one presently in stock for about $20 more! The best price is $49.95 at Sweet-vapes! Smoktech Guardian ePipe II

That is the full epipe without tank and mouth piece or drip tip. They have extended and even slanted 510 drip tips for epipe mods even for the Smok Guardian I which ran on 18650 batteries. Mad Vapes carries them. Steel Pipe Drip Tips

Now if you look back at Post #27 you will see the Guardian II without the Smoktech form of beauty ring revealing the eGo threading. The way the epipe will look upon arrival will include the ring.

Another much more commonly used name for Thread cone is Beauty ring usually seen used on eGo type batteries when running the larger 510 threaded tanks in order to fill in the gap. eGo Beauty Rings : EasyVapors.com, Electronic Cigarette Refills E Liquid
 
If you have ever taken a larger 510 threaded tank and tossed it on an eGo Twist or Vision Spinner what is the first you notice? There's a big gap where the eGo threading is left exposed. The name "Beaty ring" was derived from having a form of eGo threaded collar that covers up the eGo portion on the main connector's exposed eGo threads which tends to offer some degree of protection for those as well as providing a better overall appearance.

Now some will look much like a piece of straight tubing while others will tend to have the upside down bowl shape you would see with a funnel or cone. A quick comparison of how those would look can be seen at one vendors' page here. Beauty rings (Ego Adapter for tanks)

As you notice both B and C items are inverted cones you put on prior to attaching a 510 tank. Many manufacturers will include something like those that are matched up with the tank when sold in a kit along with a spare coil or two. For the larger 5ml or 6ml tanks the bow in the outward direction can be a bit more pronounced with a much wider flange at the top to equal the diameter of the base of the tank itself. This can provide the appearance of being part of the tank itself at times.
