Mine took exactly 12 days to get from Shenzhen to me, in Pittsburgh PA.

Did you select the e-packet option in the shipping part of your order. I found that to be the fastest for me. 10-12 days, every time I get clone fever. When you receive it you'll understand what I mean when it's "janky" when temp control kicks in. Not a deal breaker tho. You'll be happy with it. Heavy shiny golden large screen goodness. LOL
I had initially selected epacket, but after doing the PayPal signup, it reverted, I didn't check, and so it's now on airmail.....alas.
As to the tc, I've experienced that on my evic, turned out to be a wicking issue in the occ heads, what atty are you using?
Question.... What mail service do they use? Does it come through USPS, dhl, UPS, fed ex, etc...?
It does it with all of my attys. Lemo Drop, Lemo 2, Kanger sub mini pre made ni200 heads and the rba with ni200 or Ti, goblin with Ti, Atlantis ni200 heads etc. You'll see, it's not as seamless as a DNA or dare I say, Yihi. It's very choppy when the device is bouncing off its "rev limiter". The temperature is spot on tho, as long as you have the NP set correctly. And they friggin nailed the resistance issue. Ohms are dead on. Even on my velocity clone with the wicks drenched in liquid, once you hit your temp, pulse city baby! It's like like rapidly flipping a switch on and off. I did find a way around it though. I set the temp I like, say 390°F, 30 watts, then find at what wattage, while taking a draw, temp protection kicks in. I then do the same thing as I just said but take it down by .5-1 watt increments until I'm just about to reach my set temp. So let's say, 27.5 watts gets me to about 380-387° while takin a draw. No choppy temp protect. and I know that I'm well below my cotton burning. 430 starts to scorch my wick. Playing with the Nickel Purity setting does what it does, adjusts the TCR, but ultimately has no effect on how the chip handles decreasing the power once you bounce of you set temp. SXK just needs to make some refinements in the firmware.
It comes USPS First Class International. It will go to one of three customs sort centers after it leaves China, ISC Los Angeles, ISC Chicago, or ISC New York. Sits there for USUALLY 2-3 days then it's on its way to your address. I haven't had a problem yet, knock on wood, with my China mail sitting in customs for longer than 2 days.
I went back and updated my address to my p.o. Box, hope it gets sent to that, since i put my street address in the order. Mail delivery out here is confusing
I'm assuming no user firmware updating
Can't wait to try it out and compare it to my evic and invader mini
Lol the way it reads it sounds like an employee of gearbest.

I just took a look at the Gearbest website and the price quoted above is valid. Last couple of orders I've placed with them have been delivered within a week of ordering
It's really the USPS that determines how fast you get, or if you even receive your vape mail. So far it's been ok for me, at least I got my stuff. A few times it sat in various sort centers for up to 6 days. China has always been on the ball with getting my stuff into a container and on a plane, it's USPS that takes their sweet time. Keep knocking on wood if you're getting your packages fast.I just took a look at the Gearbest website and the price quoted above is valid.

I'm thinking about affixing one of these...
to the upper face of this mod........ Think that would look great
Sent with one hand, the other is busy vaping.

Just wanted to report in that I got my black SXK Nebula from FT today.
Ohm readings seem to be finally correct (compared to my SXK VF and SXK VS clone), Buttons are beautiful clicky. No sticky, not mushy at all. Lets see if they fixed the "low battery" warning.
On my VF and VS I get sometimes no warning at all (draining down to 3,2V) and sometimes it cuts off at 3,7V? Kind off random there.

My serial number is 138 and like yours the ohms are now corrected. No weak battery message tho. I doubt yours will have one also. You don't think these BB tactile buttons are a little mushy? Mine do feel somewhat solid when pressing and also have a nice audible and tactile click, however I can press the buttons in quite a ways even after they "click". Is the temp control on yours choppy when you hit you set limit? Does it read 0.3, 0.2 watts a lot when the temperature protection message flashes? I still love this mod for all its quirks. Nice bright blue led when finished charging.
- I have the black version, haven't pushed the buttons hard but they don't move at all. Rock solid clicky
- you are right, no weak battery message BUT it has "Low voltage step down protection". I just learned minutes ago this is actually a feature (I guess at least). The Aspire Pegasus mod will have a similar thing and the m65 has it too. Mine just reduces Wattage significantly when having low battery. I took them out now at 3.4 V for charging so seems to work perfectly fine. It regulated down to 20W from >30W so I definitely felt that something was going on
- Have not tried TC so far!
- I love the screen! It's my first big screen mod

a friend of mine got the brass one and I had it in my hands today. This appears to be a stupid nice mod for the price.
Ya same here when the battery can't support the wattage you can literally watch it decrease watt by watt when the fire button's held down during a vape. What yer serial number? Does the back cover with the two screws have little dowels that help it stay on the mod if you don't wan to use the screws? How about that chinsy plastic piece that covers the board held on by Orange duct tape. LOL.- I have the black version, haven't pushed the buttons hard but they don't move at all. Rock solid clicky

serial is 087. Yes it has 3 little pins, but you have to use screws, otherwise it falls off. The plastic thing is not in place at all. no orange duct tape but some weak tape and every time i open the mod it nearly falls out
