The ShockWave by Super-T Preorder Thread

[forcedfuel50]

I received an email asking if the plunger was plated in Rhodium. It is not, the platers (and i, since i gave them the go ahead) did not want to risk another batch of runined parts attempting to Rhodium plate them which then would have had to be remachined for the second time and put back several more weeks. It is plated in Palladium, which is less fussy about ahering properly and is one of four members of the Platinum group along with Rhodium and Iridium. Palladium, like Rhodium, is a precious metal that will never corrode, tarnish or oxidize and i have full confidence in the part it was placed on will perform just as well as Rhodium and is indistinguishable from Rhodium looks wise (its a silver/white color). The most critical parts are still Rhodium plating, that being the top atomizer post and the bottom battery post as well as the Plunger Cup and Plunger retention ring.

Now we can move forward and i see no reason units won't start shipping this coming week. Ship notices will be sent out via email.

I want to thank everyone for their patience through this all. Many a night i lost sleep and imagined the dim flicker of lit torches through my window held by pitchfork wielding mobs upon my front lawn....

Seriously, thank you everyone, i know the wait hasn't been easy and i hope at least your Shockwave will bring you a little bit of vaping pleasure and relief!

How do you know which number you get from that list he placed?

Funny thing,time is going so quick the wait didn't bother me.

If you still have your order confirmation email laying around it has your order number in it. Then you just match them up.

Well hell! Now we get to say that not only does our custom made vapable jewelry contain gold and rhodium, but palladium too! It will be interesting to see how all the parts of a ShockWave fit together.
Perfectly, I suppose.

No............ Thank You Super Dave!

Yes, Thank you David.
I am sure you have had some sleepless nights over the Shockwave.
Hmmm the name kinda makes sense now
Now I am going from patience mode to stalking mode.
Mail carrier watch out

edit:"I am sure you have had some sleepless nights over the Shockwave”
might read your post more detailed then I would have seen you already mentioned that

I have not been watching this too closely, but I was curious, this was a limited edition? I saw the site and it shows "sold out" ? So there is not going to be more of these?

You can never say never, but for at least this ever, they're done.

Ive been watching most of the threads for a short while now, and Im curious, whats all the fuss about the serial numbers and which one who gets. I know that in artwork when dealing with etchings, the lower to mid numbers are sought after more. But on things like mods and atomizers etc. Why do people worry about the numbers. I can kinda see wanting the number 1 but after that why? Im probably completely out of it, but Id like to know.

 

[snork]

I think most don't care. Maybe the Shockwave is unusual in that Super-T had never put a number on anything before. Some of my friends have favorite numbers through life and it'd be cool if they had that number; I think that's the extent of it here.

The meteor shockwave in Russia.

 

[siouxsie]

And to think that was probably just a couple smallish boulders off that big asteroid...Quite the shockwave

 

[VapRon]

Those Russians dont get a break with that stuff. Reminded me of the 1908 meteor over Russia.
Luckly it was a small one this time.

Yes, it was a limited run, cost of production was more then we sold them for (way more at this point). We may do a take on it again in the future since we can now machine in house, but that would be a long time from now.

David,

I know how to recover some of that cash you lost on the Shockwaves. All you gotta do is make us a RBA that fits the Shockwave like the ZAP fits the Provari. Sell it at a $100+ profit and wa-la, everyone wins

 

[thejager]

totally agree.... 12ml ShockGen Atty

I take full responsibility for the number insanity. Having some number "thing and trying to hunt down #13 started it. I don't think that many people care at all about their Shockwave # but the unit itself.
