Mine is coming from Singapore.
Ordered on 1/10, just today it is showing "origin post is preparing shipment".
Should be here by mid Feb.? Sooner?......
I think you'll enjoy it, mine has been rock solid, I'm very pleased with it. Mine was shipped out of NY & was in NH the week I ordered it.
I hope my shipping is more like fishwater's. But, I'll be happy enough if I get it before Chinese New Year.

I ordered on the 8th. It has just been sitting there. I have patience. It will be fun when it gets here.

    I just ordered one yesterday morning after randomly hearing about the massive price drop. It'll be my first regulated mod in over three years. Been a Reo user, and nothing but a Reo user all this time. Figured I'd give the regulated/temp control squonker a try at that price point.

    Even though I already know it's too big in size compared to a Reo, at least too big carry around on outside ventures from the house in my pocket that is, I like the design, especially the door. It seems rather clever and very nice for bottle access IMO.

    Another thing that always kept me from ordering a regulated squonker like a SunBox or the like, besides it's size, is there is no way I'm paying the (thus far) premium money for something that can and will malfunction and break, especially in my hands. I cannot tell you how many tumbles and spilt whiskey my Reo's have seen. One of my Reo's spent 48 hours in a melted ice bucket in a studio two years ago, before being discovered by an intern dumping the bucket into a sink. I just shook it off, dried it, rewicked it, and it never missed a beat. That's a Reo for ya, they love baths.

    But under $75 for a wattage/tc mod? Ships from the US? Sure, what the hell.

    I'm SUPER disappointed to hear about the slow boat from China shipping though. Because honestly, I scanned their site and FAQ pretty thoroughly, and the "We ship USPS orders from a warehouse in New York the same or next business day" was thing that made me tab immediately over to my shopping cart and check out. According to their site, "there are only 200 for the promotion sale."

    "I'll have it in a week 1/2 at most" I thought to myself.

    I missed the little "We ship from China when short on inventory" "gotcha" in the FAQ...

    Ho.. ho.. ho...

    What kind of New York distribution center doesn't carry the 200 mods to send out during a promotion sale? Now I know their "New York warehouse" is actually some dudes apartment. Just check out the google street view of the address provided on their website: Google Maps

    I know it seems petty, because this rant about the shipping, but this is the nature of vape mail. Don't hate me. lol

    Cheers

    I ordered mine on the 15th. It shipped on the 18th. All that's showing up on tracking is:
    2016-01-20 23:21 Information Received (This is not an acknowledgment of the physical receipt of the stated Registered Article)

    I guess I should be receiving it around the 30th?

    You and I are in the exact same boat, the slow boat from China. Ordered on the 15th, shipped on the 18th. Singapore tracking says it's "in transit yada yada yada."

    I'm already over it. Rob will probably release the Reo P67, and I'll have that in my hands before this huge mod arrives. lol

    Cheers

    Mine showed up today.
    So far I like it. Solid build quality.
    No leaks yet. I assume this means the 510 o-ring is there.
    The inside edge of the squonk hole was very sharp. Cleaned it up with fine sandpaper.
    HG2 battery fit is tight.
    As said before, battery life is not the greatest. Running a Hastur, kanthal dual coil .5ohm
    Meter showed just a little left, pulled the battery, still at 3.7v. Will leave it in longer next time.
    Hope SteamCrave continues in the regulated squonker market..........

    Alot of buzz over this lately as well:
    focalecig.com - Kangxin Inoy 60W TC Sqonker Box Mod - Black

    I've actually been looking for an affordable regulated sqounker for a while now, the Steam Crave and that one I linked both look decent. I might get them both but my office here is looking a bit cluttered not sure what to do, might just toss a coin.
