Right behind you...
WOW!! So it's been in transit for a month? I was about to order one right now...

Well, do keep in mind that Chinese New Year really screwed the pooch for shipping, then a lot of bad weather on the East Coast on top of that. Worst of the backlog should have cleared up, so there's a good chance you'll get it a lot quicker if you order now than those of us that ordered end of January to the middle of February.

So just to be safe I'm going to link the one I'm ordering. I'm still debating if I should go with black or silver...

Vapor Flask DNA 40 Style Upgraded Version Variable Wattage Mod - Silver, 1~40W, 2x18650, Micro USB Charger, Temperature Control - 3FVape

The pics in the link are identical to the one I received from focal today except mine has brass caps and 510. No complaints yet but I have only been playing with it for a few hours and only using TC so far.
I also debated on the black vs silver but decided on silver cause I dont want scratches marring up the nice black finish. I got silver hoping scratches and wear would be less visible.

Good thinking! Well I guess I'll just order it and hope for the best :)

No, they're from the same place most likely. I'm willing to bet the silver version pictures are of a prototype, the black version is probably more current and likely indicative of what you'll get.

Seriously, after all the crap Waidea has promised and done, up to and including using real VF pictures to represent their product, and not knowing what it's built like inside or how well their board, connector and buttons actually work, I wouldn't recommend anyone purchase that unit over the Kangxin unit unless you really like gambling. If you just want a housing for a real Evolv chip, the SXK clone is still the way to go.

Waidea really needs to send reviewers some. The only thing really sub-par on the Kangxin flask is the 510 connector, but at least it's adjustable.
I just got a confirmation from 3FV that the manufacturer of the "good looking" clone is actually Sunlay Tech. Any thoughts?

Looking at the 3FVape Item Pics in the new listings, the Silver one is definitely the Waidea prototype Summer Sent Nicole pics of.

I Skyped with Summer a little while ago and he was initially unaware of the listing, Probably because 3FVape is indeed being supplied by Sunlay but As Per Summer, Sunlay will be buying them from his company.

I am unsure of what 3FVape has in stock but according to Summer, they units they are producing do in fact have single slotted S/S 510 that have spring loaded 510 connectors. I cannot confirm the accuracy of all this myself, but these are the pics he sent me:

Summer had to run to a meeting & cut our exchange short but he said he would get in touch later. If I learn any more I'll let you know.

I have been following this thread for some time. Would really like to get into the TP mods, but have been holding back. If this new one that 3F listed would get the spring loaded 510 pin, I think I would finally have to pull the trigger on one. Almost ordered the new fixed pin one tonight. Glad I held back for now.
