Yeah absolutely. On a recent order 3FVape couldn't even tell me when it would ship when I opened a ticket (or rather, they said on Monday morning "this week". It actually shipped the next day, but still.)

I wish I could remember how many orders there were for them when I ordered mine, thinking it was under 100 but not sure.
They might have only received 50 of them and then of coarse I'm 51.

Well they showed how many pre-orders there were at the time if that's what you mean.
I'd bet they got a pile of canceled ones too.
I think the total was around 575 for the B&W one.
I got this email from FT this morning.
Thank you for your order.

I have an estimated delivery date on my Hotcig from FT from the tracking, Sep 21, 2015
Gee, I put this in the wrong thread.

Thanks for the update @xxAbstrActOrxx
Not sure that it matters, but can I ask what date you placed your order?

I ordered August 13th. Sadly, with the delays on the Cloudmaker and with Vaporshark's issues, I'll probably end up getting this first despite its own delays and the shipping time from China.
So is it pronounced "Sig" or "Siege" ? I reAlly think vape "siege" sounds better than vape "Sig".
Yeah.... they just posted a picture of that new cased "VTbox200" on Facebook "officially" and paying more attention the one we ordered on Fasttech is in fact called "The Original VTbox200". So this is the official V2 before the 1st batch even shipped, before we ever saw an official battery replacement option, before we have answers "does this use the same battery", what changed?
I'm 100% convinced these guys are idiots.
Of course my 1500 Mah battery showed up today (the one we all bet is the same one) and my extra charger, but honestly I am about seconds from cancelling even getting it cheap. Hell 1 week from now the new one will probably be $119.99 anyway and we will all feel even more like suckers.

They are not going to ship me a black one that does not look anything like the one I (we) ordered. I will get the old cased white one, maybe fixed up from the goofs but that does not change my point at all.
I think by original they mean V1 seeing the full picture.
It is the same one as posted a few pages back. This is the new model and appears to be using the same name. They just put this on there page and expect everyone to not be a little peeved? Given all pre-release circumstances, oddly dated apology letter, delays and to post this 24 hours before FT gets them.
Kind of seems like they are saying .... "Now you know, you got a few hours to cancel"

I see it now.
Doesn't appear to be ready to ship though, there are almost always revision of a mod.

Agreed but a new design before the 1st one ships is a little middle finger-ish IMO. They could have had the courtesy to at least let us receive ours and see they actually worked okay before doing this. Hence IMO from a business practice stand point they are not the sharpest crayons in the box.
Like I said, they are either dumber than a box or rocks on marketing or they are showing us this as some kind of "courtesy" hours before the others ship. Not really sure.

I'm not even sure if there is another mod. I think that "DNA 200" box they keep showing might just be a pre-production unit or something.
It looks pretty identical from the front/screen panel, just with a different top panel.
Regardless, I'm confident that those of us who have ordered, or indeed who order in future, will receive a box that works like the one VapnFagan showed in the YouTube Croak posted the other day, and which appears to work fine. That's all that matters to me.
Besides, they're all DNA 200s. It's not like a new box design could be earth shatteringly different. A key difference could be size, and this other unit looks a similar size. Or that it had Disruptor/HotCig-style replaceable batteries, which this other unit clearly doesn't have. So, even if there is a different unit, does it matter? It's just going to be a mild variation.
But I don't think there is anything different.
I do agree however that they're dumb for confusing everyone. I also didn't like the post I just saw on FB saying they don't support group buys and won't provide warranty support for them in future. Very poor principle.
