They do limit. Only the final, "cleanup" lists allow previous owners to purchase. On all others, previous buyers are told not to sign the list and removed if they do so.
The man who came up with the Xeta is about the only small production maker I have seen who pledges to make a device for everyone who wants one. I've seen him follow through on that a lot. But, unless the god of statistics takes a liking to you, it's not going to be instant gratification. But he does not make a small run, move to something else, and then watch the secondary market go into a frenzy. Sadly, a lot of other shops do.
And for all of the small batch runs from any manufacturer, you have to keep checking in to find out when a new lot is going to be available. It's not like walking into a store and buying as many as you wish - but we've seen what sort of quality and performance comes from mass production most of the time.
I first saw this on Todds review's, at first I did not watch it to the end. About a week later I went back and watched the whole thing. It was at the very end that he said it was Facebook only, which means I will never have one. It really sucks because there have been quite a few things like this, that I would buy. This one really looks well designed and thought out too.

I will wait until I make the list at some point in time. So will get one if it's meant to be. I have other bridges that I use so not in a big hurry. And the quality seems very good as Mark Todd's review.
Just as an update, I got my Xeta today. I guessed at what internal parts I need to use and threw a somewhat normal (for me) build in it. I've been through about half a boro so far.
I've seen statements like I'm about to make come back and bite the original poster. But this thing is very, very, good. It's easy to build and work with. Even without trying any of the fine tuning adjustments, it is every bit as good as my Exocet - and on the first build. One added plus is that I am getting zero condensation below the boro. I've always put up with this as even the best BB bridges did it to some extent and I figured it was all just part of getting a really flavorful, saturated vape. Somehow, Haku seems to have figured this out and eliminated the problem.
As for the fb thing, I was exactly like the rest of you until a couple of years ago. But my frustration on missing out on really good gear caused me to go ahead and sign up for that toxic site. Without going into detail, I can assure all of you that no one would recogmize me over there - not the name, not the location, nothing. Approaching it from that standpoint has resulted in zero problems with the advantage of being able to get some of the best devices I own. I don't visit any sites there other than some selected vape related ones.

I usually don't do clones, that being said, if there is ever one of these Xeta's, I would buy one. I guess if they were available on a regular website sometime in the future, and the timing was right, I would buy the authentic.

I'm sure China will eventually make one as they have for almost every other vape related product on the market. I personally don't buy clones of anything. I support the original maker of a device. I just don't like seeing these small manufactures getting ripped off of the hard work they have done. But I'm also not knocking anyone who buys clones either, personal preference and it's what you are willing to spend your hard earned money one.I usually don't do clones, that being said, if there is ever one of these Xeta's, I would buy one.

I agree, but if they are choosing to sell their product only on face book, then I see no other choice in order to get one. If I do find a clone of this and buy one, it will be the very first clone I will have ever bought of anything.

Well I made the list of the 450 and just put my order in today, I'm looking forward to when it arrives. I would have never thought I would join a FB group for a item but sometimes ya gotta do what ya gotta do. It's not as bad as I thought it would be, so I would def join another FB group if something caught my eye like the Xeta did.
That was me exactly. I have a very low opinion of FB and everything about it. But using some good adblockers, I have yet to see any spam linked to my acitivity there. I can't say that about most vape sites I've bought things from - even some highly recommended larger ones. I have not received ANY targeted email sent to my virtual persona on FB - it may be trying to target me for ads when I'm on there, but I never see them.
I'm about as far from a FB booster as could be. It reminds me of the mindless and often toxic chatter of the various Cool Kid cliques in high school. But I joined as an experiment to see if I could game their concept and use it to my advantage. After a couple of years of being there occassionally, I can state that I did.
Will, if any of you decide you do not like yours feel free to sell it to me.
It is more than ads, etc. That website will store, track, and sell everything you touch digitally.
I might be missing something completely, but if they are doing that to a person who doesn't exist why would it matter? Yes, it could be linked to my IP and not just my alter ego. But again, I have seen no indications in roughly two years that it has affected me even at that level.
I agree that in concept, it's disgusting behavior. This doesn't need to turn into a debate on things so far outside a concentration on vaping, so I'm done with this topic. But I'd add that if things like you mention bother you, a look into Google practices is even more upsetting. I found a good alternative to them, but have not yet seen one for vape gear and thus my I continue my arms-length relationship with FB.
Where ever you go on the internet they have some way of tracking what you are doing. I have Adblocker among other stuff so it doesn't happen and the Do Not Track and I still get tracked. that is they way of life using the net. But I will have my Xeta next week, it's being shipped. Also since I went to Haku website I have not gotten any spam mail or anything from them. Some companies do that and others do not. But I will take my chances for something I want 
my xeta is supposed to show up this saturday, im excited! i love my vapeshell but it's condensation galore. I stopped using it as im afraid the condensation will ruin the paint of my BB.
My Xeta is suppose to be here on Saturday also. I hope it's as good as everyone says. I also have 2 Vapeshell's and they do a lot of condensation know matter how I build them, also have a Steam tuners and a exocet and still get condensation, maybe I'm doing something wrong. But don't think so. So I will admit I'm always using a paper towel twirl one end up and soak up the condensation. So far never had any leak down anywhere. But I'm OCD and it bug's the daylights out of me
. I also have the dry plugs and they work but not the greatest. Welcome to the a great place- Status
