The iHybrid APV - A fully Customizable Genesis

[9ball_AJ]

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

The Hell Raiser has a more Grooved finish. Very small horizontal ridges that create a textured feel. Hard to explain, and I couldn't get any decent pics to show what I mean...

Has anyone else got a drip tip from drip tip designz?These things are smexy and under 30 bucks shipped .

I have one, and they are pretty - I'm just not sure about vaping with it , as the brass core is exposed.

My v2.1 gunmetal ihybrid has the same texture on the tank sleeve, and 18650 tube. The 18350 tube however is very smooth. Strange...

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.

That was quite the rant !

Good things come to those that wait.

I have one, and they are pretty - I'm just not sure about vaping with it , as the brass core is exposed.

They told me they have been using them for months with no effect, But they are gonna start making them with ss for $5 more for the people that are worried about it .

 

[amienichole]

It looks like I left and I didn't miss much...lol.. I am kind of glad to see they aren't up yet....but that's just me..had a great time but I am very tired! So if I disappear I will have fallen asleep lol. I am heading out for bone thingy on Friday of next week. Just got that news. Hope you guys are having a great afternoon.

l could be wrong but I think theyre the ones that use a brass tube? correct me if I'm wrong but brass has lead in it, I would not want my mouth or my juice touching brass, I know bretts tips are a little pricey but imo hes an artist, i think it takes him sometimes upwards of 3-4 hours to turn a tip and they are durable, dissipate heat quickly and have a SS tube that is not brass

My Gunmetal has more of a brushed finish, and I can see the horizontal lines, but can't feel them. Much more prominent on the HR...

Correct me if I am wrong, but I thought Naval Brass was lead free...

Correct me if I am wrong, but I though Navel Brass was lead free...

Could be the case - I just don't have enough info. I also thought I read somewhere that brass is a very porous metal and can possibly soak in your vapor or juice over time and (again not sure) rot, or corrode the metal - not something you would want to inhale, anyway.

In any case, I just dont use it for the time being, as I don't know enough about the subject and feel better not using it until I do - personal choice.

what is w/ all the steam train hatred, did they mess everyone over or something and i missed hearing about it? granted I have only ever ordered my zau from there but they didnt do me wrong, prompt shipping and all that

I just had a bit of a bad experience with them over the Orions. Called numerous times with messages, emails, contact us option, facebook messages, and never got a response. I needed to change the shipping location as they had "guaranteed" that they would be shipped out the 18th or earlier when in actuality they shipped out after the first of the year. I will never use them again unless I have absolutely no choice.

 

[amienichole]

They may be waiting for everyone to get home lol.
