The iHybrid APV - A fully Customizable Genesis

[jinxt]

Hey folks, quick question:

I noticed the Hell Raiser has a "grooved" finish, which I am really liking. My Standard "gunmetal" iHy has more of a smooth finish. Do all LE's have this "grooved" type finish, or was this only done on the HR?? Is this the finish that is going to be on the new version switch that I ordered on the Synthesis sale night?

Obligatory Pics just cause:

That's my absolute favorite part of my HR. The machine lines feel amazing. I literally want all of my PV's to feel like this from now on. I didn't realize the older iHy's had a different finish. I wouldn't trade this finish for anything.

I agree, I am really loving this finish, I wish my V2 Gunmetal had the same...

Can you elaborate on what exactly you're talking about here? What's different?

Ok so I just got off the phone with yuma. Very nice. Must say it turned around my thoughts about them. Great customer service on the phone. However their updates on FB or email still suck!! I asked about when they will have things up. He said around 4 or 5 PST. Just a heads up. Of course you still may want to keep F5ing too!

Oh and my orion. Who knows when Ill get that. Should be anytime. What is anytime? Sometime this year????? That would be nice!!

Is that a Grinch drip tip? With a red top it will look even more like it.

You're a mean one! Mr. Grinch!

LOL. I got more of a Jack Skellington vibe off it, bro. In eitehr event, I thought my HR brothers would appreciate it.

It's now well past 1:30 Central time and nothing is available yet. Enough is enough. I'm done with the Ihybrid nonsense

I have been following this thread since it's inception. I have purchased two Ihybrids, an early standard and the original V1 Pluid LE. From my perspective, with the advent of endless LE costume changes (apparently to suck in the big buck collectors) it appears everything else has taken a back seat.

Faceless said in this thread last October that "lots' of colored tubes (and colored thread rings) would be up 'soon'. Today the Ihybrid home page still says tubes are "Coming Soon." Since October there have been numerous LE's, all with different colored tubes. That's a lot of frickin' anodizing being done yet no plain colored tubes have appeared since the original red, black and overpriced green ones sold out. Faceless has a strange definition of 'soon.'

As for buying anything from Three-One-Zero:
1. Nothing is ever available there either.
2. CA residents get slapped with sales tax.

I'm not a collector. To me the Ihy is a tool, no more no less. Parts should ALWAYS be available ahead of LE's. So far I have successfully avoided breaking a tank. If I had broken one and then experienced the interminable wait times to get a replacement, I'd have long ago sent my two units back to Faceless and told him where to shove them.

Weeks ago, when the time arrived that I could no longer simply log on the the Ihybrid home page and immediately buy a plain vanilla Ihybrid or the advertised accessories I saw the writing on the wall. No access to simple parts and endless waiting for accessories that we were told three months ago would be available 'soon' is unacceptable as a business practice. I have a life. I cannot spend all my waking hours futilely tapping F5.

I'll cheerfully agree the Ihy does perform well. However, it's not like faceless re-invented the wheel. Watching the direction the Ihybrid has taken recently, makes me love the heck out of my vivi nova based outfits. They work and are rebuildable using the same wire and mesh. AND replacement items are at my door in two days!

Speaking as someone with 4 decades of sales and marketing experience, I'd rather have many long term customers who come back regularly to make purchases than just those few who just have to have LE flavor of the month.

End of rant.

OKThankYouBye

If I can only get a Ihybrid and acc. off yuma I am extremely dissappointed. No communication and no customer service. All the things that I and everyone else loves about faceless. Just my 2 cents.

When I wrote this I had no idea about ^^^^^^ that. Faceless has run a tough course towards the end of december. I understand leaving the shipping and customer part up to 310 would lessen the burden and allow him to make more stuff. But, Please please pick a reliable vendor. Thanks and sorry after ^^^^that.

My illuminati tube has a grooved feel, but its nothing like the grooved feel on the HR. I really like the grooves. If you rub them back and forth really fast, it's musical!

 

[Chelseafn]

phephner. I would hate to see if you ever waited for Zen. Just sayin'. Im sorry to hear your leaving but totally understand. Hope you have a good rest of your day!!

Requested Vape Porn...

This thing is really cool. It's a real Precise+ with a real Odysseus, and both were sent out to Vaperfexion to get a matching finish job. I like it a lot!

And, well, you all know what this is...

All in all... Pretty outstanding vape mail day.

Zen Standards are available right now.

All I can say is: "WOW"!

Please remember folks, this is NOT a business for Faceless in the traditional sense of the word. Yeah, I am sure he makes a few bucks from it, but he has said many times that this is a hobbie for him. He is only one man and can only do so much. No issues at all if someone wants to shove off if they are not happy, but I think putting up a nasty accusatory rant is a bit of a D*** move. If you are not happy then just move on.

 

[grruss]

Zen Standards are available right now.

And they will be for a day or two... Just like iHy Standards. There a lots of mods, and lots of sales/marketing plans. Some work for some, but not all work for all. I am sorry when anyone is disappointed, especially my own clients, but I know it's unavoidable. I hate to see when someone deprives themselves of the best product because of a maybe 3 or 4 hour wait. I am truly sorry to see you go phephner. I hope you find vape heaven.

 

[Chelseafn]

Im not bashing Zen at all. Great guy. Just not a fan of the Zen.

 

[Chelseafn]

Well said phrost!!

Have fun Charger. Wicked is awesome! Almost as good as Phantom. Imo, nothing beats Phantom, but Wicked is a close second!
