Oooh, could it be?

Re-cap:
Ordered a Manta V2 on 12-14-14, "Ships in 5 days".
After 5 days my order showed that it would now ship in another 3 days.
After 3 more days it showed it would ship in another 5 days.
After 5 days are upmy order doesn't show anything for a shipping ETA for 2 days or so and then.......

ETA 1/10/2015 (in 10 days)
---------------------------------------------------
Update the Manta order.
Since the 10th, no shipping date. This morning my order status updated to.....

ETA 1/17/2015 (in 5 days
--------------------------------------------------------

As of this morning it shows "Ready to Ship"!

Sometimes it works the other way too. I've had a bunch of stuff saying "Ships in 7 days" ship within 2. ;)

Does anybody have an Origen V2 and a caliper?
Can you measure the top lip where the drip tip goes? I'm hoping to order a drip tip to go with it that lines up with that lip. Ordering the gold Origen. thx

Assume you've probably ordered already, but I could probably do this for you, although it wont be until Thursday or Friday when i'm back around my place/shop.

Imo a good drip-tip for the origin (especially the gold one) is the original stingray driptip:

If you look at the third picture there's an internal lip caused by the brass sleeve.

On my origin v2 clone (from 101) the top is the perfect size and fits into that lip helping to stabilize and almost lock on the dt (still easy enough to pull off).

Thanks, xtwosm0kesx. I haven't ordered it yet - that would be very helpful, but please don't go through too much trouble. I actually sized a product pic to scale in Photoshop and got a little over 10mm and a little under 11mm. I just didn't want a gross overhang, like this:

Yikes, what were they thinking? :facepalm: :laugh:

Ugh, I'm so mad at China right now. :grr: :-x :mad:

Finally, they come out with something really beautiful without cloning it, but 21mm and the switch is at the top, so you'd have to fire it with your teeth! :blink:
Aw, come on, China!
:laugh:


I don't know... I actually LIKE the top switch. I always have the drip tip in my mouth anyway, it would be pushing up against my lips, no biggie, AND... no more forgetting to screw down the lock and firing it when I set it down by accident. I put it on my wish list to check it out.

What I am not crazy about is the "ships in 5 days" ... if it ever hits in stock or next day, I'll consider giving it a whirl and take it off my wishlist to add to my cart. LOL

Uh-oh. Never ran across this one yet, but others here have probably discussed it. It sucks.

Tried to order my cart...always paid with Paypal in the past. But, now they say Paypal isn't allowed because of "rebuildable tank atomizer". Seems like Paypal is now cracking down on the foreign companies too.

Guess it's time to dump Paypal and go back to the reloadable cards if I want to order vaping goodies. :( :(

Was it an Erlkonigin RTA? I noticed the same the other day. I briefly played around with different things in the cart at checkout and only the Erl triggered the 'no PP" thing.

Has this come up before, I haven't been following this thread lately?
