I don't need to double tap, but it does take a bit longer for it to fire when waking from sleep mode.

This is what it says for shipment of my flask on 17track.net...sounds bad like I'm not getting my flask anytime soon

Mine said that for a day or 2 before it updated with the proper info, it just means they have received the shipping info into the system but it has not been picked up yet.
It's not unusual for there to be no valid status until it clears Shenzhen sorting. And it takes about a day or two from pickup at the vendor to get scanned as outbound from Shenzhen.
when i got my notification from the USA ware-house it took about 30 hrs or so to pick up tracking......yet i would imagine China To Canada would take awhile especially if you have to go thru Customs first (on both ends).
Got my silver Waidea today & the anodizing on the chassis is a lot thicker than it was on the black one. Almost looks slightly blotchy in some spots & really hides the chassis brushed grain. Sure I can rub out the blotchiness with some polish but I'm a little surprised. Thicker anodizing isn't a bad thing, it just doesn't have the defined grain like my black one does. Works fine though.
The grain of the black is why I wanted another one. My black flask has like a coating on it which hides the grain, but it absolutely doesn't pick up finger prints hardly at all either.

Does anyone know of any pictures of the authentic vapor flask opened? I'm curious to see the inside of a genuine for comparison.???
I saw some at one time, couldn't tell you where though.
I will not open mine up and void it's warranty even thought it's been sent back twice for board issues.
So earlier today I was doing some computer work while USB charging my Black Waidea & I absentmindedly grabbed it, pressed the fire button to take a vape & hear my atty popping away immediately after I pressed the fire button and the vape warmed up immediately into a very satisfying vape. Hit it again & I realize that even though it was set for 20w with my subtank, it was hitting 30w immediately after pressing the fire button, then dropping to 20w for a second or two before hitting temp protection and dropping further. It was like it got confused and suddenly the pre-heat function I've always heard about with legitimate DNA40s was actually operating on the Waidea.
It vaped that way for about 20 minutes and I was really getting into it until I left it idle for too long and let it go to sleep. After that It went back to the way it normally vapes with a 1 second delay from sleep and a slower preheat at applied wattage. It hasn't happened again and I have no idea what occurred to make it get confused and convice the ChiNA40 to act like a Dna40 for a 20 minute stretch of time.
Has anything like this ever happened to anyone else?

It's that grounding issue again. When I first got mine, it was pre-heating as high as 35w on a 20w setting. Then I popped the cover and it mostly stopped with the preheat, then started firing at low wattages very soon into a hit, and then progressed to the dim display firing, and then weak battery. Sometimes, playing with the USB port or resetting it by unscrewing the battery caps, or running with a single very fresh battery would get it working properly for a few minutes. I suspect all that a reset was doing was cleaning some oxidation/anodizing off the battery caps, and putting some pressure on the top plate making a better ground for a short period. USB charging gave it another ground path.
Once I did that top plate clean-up and torque, it started working great again, preheat on a cold/cool coil, voltage staying in the high teens/twenties while drawing, etc.

Interesting that that same person is placing reviews under all the Waidea flask listings and claiming that the Kangxin has a 4 hour vaping life in temp mode. Me thinks his reviews should be taken with a grain of salt.
I have only used my Kangxin in TP Mode since getting it a few weeks ago. I run .17 ohm ni200 coils at 450 degrees and 25 watts. I use it in the morning before going to work and in the evenings after I get home. Change batteries every night and they are at about 3.6 on the charger reading. His report of 4 hours is probably pretty close to what I am seeing with mine.
I would think battery life would be about the same with both brands when used at the same settings ect.
Agreed! I get a lot more than 4 hours on a charge with my Kangxin! I only charged mine every 2 days when I was using it exclusively during the "Honeymoon Period".
Agreed. I would hope he could discern "immediate" from a 1 sec. delay- but no guarantees with him it would seem.
