"The Russian" 91% (Kayfun Lite Clone With A Twist)

[the4thpower3]

I have one on pre-order from Vaportek - before they got reamed by Kebo for their pricing.
They said 4-6 weeks from 8/9/13
So, hopefully within the next month I hate waiting.

Anyone got any status updates yet?

Not on the 91%.. I did see that folks have been getting The Russian in from Bucky though. Even a person with a kayfun to compare said it was built just as well.. So, I'm fairly certain it won't be much of a longer wait for the 91%, and well worth waiting for..

I think they are made by Aliens - maybe on Mars - and sold to the chinee.. This explains the huge, huge delays on "pre-orders".
(you know how slow Mars Mail is!)

I saw a full size Russian in action and in parts. It is a great system. I'm going a little crazy waiting for the 91% to start shipping.

Yeah it's funny how on Alibaba manufacturers put "Supply Ability" as 100,000,000,000/day, and then take forever making thousands.

I had been thinking exactly the same thing last week.. Marketing Hype again.

Yeah, y'all let me know who wins this holy war. I've got two Russian 91%'s on the way regardless.

Not sure who thought it'd be a good idea to come into a thread full of people excited about this device and start preaching that it's evil and the source of great damage to the vaping world. Seems a little Westboro Baptist Church to me. Go find a concert to picket or something. I'mma stay here and enjoy my reduced height bottom coil RBAs' adjustable air draw when they arrive. Cheers!

The whole issue itself is a very interesting one, and is actually far more complex (morally AND legally) than most people realize. That is why perhaps discussing the ISSUE of clones , instead of the Russian itself, would be better left to another thread.

Just recieved some news from kidneypuncher with order(supposedly for today sep. 5th) due to some unforseen problem affecting all vendors,no devices will be shipping until october 25th now.It is always something with the chinese knock offs.I feel sorry for all of you who hate pre-orders and were going to buy when vendors have them for sale.Well that date looks like it is pushed into the first of 2014,since this is just the FIRST delay on these that i am aware of.

The last I heard, they were supposed to start shipping around the 10th of this month to one of the pre-orders. I know folks over at UK Vapers actually got some in. There were a few small issues though. If the delay is to address these, I guess it would be best to get them taken care of.

EDIT: Hmmm.. I wonder if the delay is for vendors who ordered later in the game (round 2), and the early orders will still be shipping around the 10th?

The pre-order with kidneypuncher is the second round,not sure what the tenth is for the other vendors,i know kidneypuncher is not shipping until october 25th now??Could be for the problems you posted,i'm not sure? I would just like to know how you go from a september 5th delivery date,that has already been in pre-order for three weeks,to another month out??

EDIT:They have issued all pre-orders who keep there order at least thru october 15th a $10 store credit.

I was in on round one from vaportekusa , god I hope we don't have to wait much longer! especially not until next year lol..

 

[t8kiteasy]

I thought they were capable of making 10,000 units a month?Lets see that's,.....2500 units a week?Delivery details says"3-4 weeks for first batch",if they can produce 10,000 units a month,there should not be any lead time for them assuming they had already started producing the devices beforehand.

I have also seen the Kebo, and this was just a few days ago on 9/1, that the shipment I am waiting on will be shipping 9/10. I really dont know which vendor is getting what shipment though, outside of the one that I am waiting on.

I'm a patient guy though. At the price I paid ($67/1) I dont mind just waiting. Now if I had paid what vendors are being forced to charge as a result of that inflated MSRP..yeah, I'd be heated if I had to wait till the end of October. Heck, I'd just get my money back and get a few more Kayfun Lites. That's MSRP stuff is another topic all together though...Rainbow and Kebo are putting the screws to vendors the last month.

Me too, this is sort of saddening, been waiting a month already.... Guess I'll just appreciate it that much more when it finally arrives which will take another 3 weeks shipping to Canada land.... Damn it

I think they needed our money to actually start making these devices, or so it seems

 

[t8kiteasy]

The waiting does not bother me at all what does is not getting the truth,or a reason about why it is delayed.And you are right that MSRP crap is another long drawn out topic.
