I don't expect mine before Monday. But I don't have tracking, so I can't be sure.
Never trust the USPS? Probably get it tomorrow. Mine says this Saturday but probably get it Monday.
I'll PM you tracking in the morning, I'm too tired to sort through USPS lol
You got jacked by the mailman lol, since I know all the suppliers I might go fill out an app to be postman and get everyones goodies lol
His super special one isnt ready yet lol, that will ship separate. He will be the first to have a color also, well, besides me
Got my iHybrid today. Here's a couple of quick pics. My thoughts after the pics.
Build : Very smooth threads. Like the way it all fits together nicely. No issues with gaps like someone posted. Like the tank shield and the locking mechanism. The air hole is the right size for me.
Vape : Works as expected. Easy to setup. Happy with the vapor production with a 3/4 wrap 32 gauge wire.
Unexpected positive :
- The "i" on the tank shield aligns perfectly with the wick as you can see in the second pic. Don't know if this was done on purpose, but I like it. Make it easy to spot which way to tilt the device.
Negatives : None.
Other thoughts and suggestions:
- I am not a fan of mechanical mods, prefer the provari approach with an atty on top and a firm believer in electronics. Even though I really like this device, if you ever come out with stand alone atty top, count me in for a couple of those. This is just a personal preference.
- It would be great the if you can make the wick hole bigger like in the DID (3.5 mm I think). The reason why I say that it allows for sturdier wicks that don't need a needle/support in the middle to easily wrap a coil and the wick would last longer. I have no issues what-so-ever with wicking, but just saying.
- The wick hole is on the left of the screw in iHybrid. I don't own a zenesis, so I am not sure if this is how those are designed, but being a righty, if the wick hole is to the right of the screw, it would make it easier to wrap a coil. Again, I could wrap a coil without issues, but would've preferred to have it on the right of the screw.
So, congrats faceless for a fantastic device that vapes great and looks beautiful and Thank you for sending me one.
Cheers

I never said thanks, sorry a bit overwhelmed lol. I love that drip tip!!!
Ok here is the iHybrid all polished up. My hands hurt but it looks nice. Aluminum takes polish so nicely. Still need to work on the larger tube.
Thanks again Faceless, you have built a great device. Look forward to your future creations.

Delivery Confirmation
Waaaaa, it didn't make it today.No signed delivery right ? Hopefully tomorrow before noon. C'mon USPS, you can doo eet.
Mine showed up a day earlier than the tracking reported....fingers crossed.
Ok, I've got a question. Mine came in yesterday but I haven't had a chance to assemble it today. I've seen mention of the tube not screwing in all the way when you use a kick and a nipple top battery, but I've got a flat top battery and I'm still getting a very large gap. Larger than the ones in the photos I've seen. Am I doing something wrong?
When showing gaps, I think it might be helpful to show the battery that is being used too. All batteries are not the same size, despite the 18xxx designation on them, due to rather a protection circuit exists or not, and nipple size, etc, etc...Ok, I've got a question.

Hiya doc, how did you polish it? By hand? Or do you have a buffing/polishing wheel tool. I want mine to be polished like yours!

That is actually smaller than my gap but mine is at the switch end, if you want to change where your gap is then take the switch off tighten the batt tube and then screw on the switch and your gap will be there.
He said you could trim the insulator in the switch to make it flush but that could cause your batts to rattle if you choose not to use the kick at some point.
He is coming out with an 18650 + kick tube and I am hoping that it will be designed so that everything fits flush, especially since it will be made specifically for the batt and kick together with no other option. Personally I prefer the AW IMR batts ans since Kick has a disclaimer to only use those, when Faceless does the 18650 kick tube it should only be designed to work with that configuration.
I showed the batt when I posted mine but the kick is designed for one specific batt and unless someone chooses to ignore what a company advises then the assumption should be solid and if they do choose to ignore and something doesn't fit right then that is their problem.
Faceless posted the reason this gap occurs and it make perfect sense, so I am hoping the 18650 kick tube will be specifically designed for ONLY the AW IMR as that batt is what the kick is designed to be use with.- Status
