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

my last order from vaportekusa took over 2 weeks to get here, it sat in ontario for a week.... so ya, we wont be seeing the russians for some time yet!

t8 and nelson, please be patient. Pre-orders take a lot of time, and estimates for ship dates are always overly optimistic. This is true not just for Kebo, but for any manufacturer. I pre-ordered a Super-T ELA and didn't receive it for 4 1/2 months. But the end result was well worth the wait.

But beyond that, we've not even yet exceeded the estimated 4-6 week ship date yet. Your complaining this early only portrays you as obsessive, demanding retail customers who everyone who has ever worked in retail or customer service can't stand. This isn't retail. Be patient.

For any pre-order, it's a good idea to take the estimated wait time, then double it. If you receive your order earlier, you'll be pleasantly surprised. Otherwise, by then there most certainly will have been some sort of update from the maker.

A little off topic, but maybe something worth talking about. Has anyone seen the rocket atomizer that is also a clone of the kayfun?

It's not nearly as nice looking of a clone as the Russian is, but still looks worth it. It's only $10.50 costs so I am guessing retail would be like $20.

This is a thread on it, but it's not in english but they do have some better pictures.

For those that don't know, a group buy on a certain Cali site has fallen through. The day after it was supposed to ship! So disapointing after such a long wait.
"Sept. 12, 2013 FINAL UPDATE: Hey everyone. Last night I was finally able to talk to the supplier. Not good news, basically, she refunded our order and this will be the short version of the explanation why: She was pressured by many US online retailers to shut our group buy down. Even though I had her permission to do so from the beginning, she fell under the pressure and rather losing them(the US retailers) she decided to cut us off and lose our business instead. Which is understandable at a business point but man, I was so p.o. last night that I tried to find out who the US retailers were, but to no success. Sorry for letting everyone down and not being able to make this happen..for now...I will find another way around thisI will be able to send out all refunds by the end of the week."

All I could say is dam.

I'm guessing but if you look at Vapor Joes you'll find a reasonably major retailer doing a pre-order on the Russian. Just sayin'
