Maybe they had some already boxed and ready to go?

It's all about patience. Everything remains the same. I can remember back when the provari 2.0 was the chit. Everyone wanted it now! While my guitar gently weeps... yeah, I am actually listening to this song now.:laugh: Peace!:)

I don't think so. The Russian, eDNA 40 and the sharkskin were all packed into a padded envelope separately. With the free 30ml liquid as well. It wasn't like it was specially boxed.

Ok....what i meamt was maybe they had the box with the atty and the box with the staged in a bigger box ready for a bottle of juice and a shipping label.
Maybe not im just speculating on ways they may prep for a sale to get what they can on a truck as quickly as possible.
You're probably right though.

It could be. Mine was all very tightly packed into a padded envelope. But everything came in perfect condition!

I know and trust me i understand!
We've all been at that chomping at the bit stage over something.
I ordered a tablet on black friday and paid 37$ for expedited shipping, i was supposed to have it wed.
The thing is still in california and i live in Louisiana.

Mine wasn't even padded! Lol. I actually made the comment to my wife about that. But everything seems to be in excellent condition...minus the russian issues. Speaking of which I believe I'm going to have to pick up another deck insulator. Before reading the pliers recommendation, I tightened down the center pin too much I believe. It is definitely tilted and the insulator is compressed. I really should have researched the russian more before I purchased. Serves me right for making a splurge purchase.

lol. I feel your pain, my friend. Really!!!:unsure: I just love having fun here on ECF. All good things eventually come to pass. As will the rDNA 40. I just hope you are around when I'm building my coil on the magma.:laugh: I'm sure i'll be ok, but a "little help from my friends" will help.:D

My positive block was a little loose too. But I just gently tightened it. No need for it to be super tight, just tight enough that it doesn't move around while building your coil. Or am I missing something.

Guess I better check the insulator when I finish my tank.

As far as the dna 40 unit itself goes, things to be working flawlessly. Although I haven't got a chance to do a nickel build, I have run my odin dripper and kayfun on it. Ran the odin at 40 watts no problem....no screen glitching, etc. One funky issue I did run into though is when I put my kayfun back on, I got the new atty message. I selected new atty since it wasn't the dripper, and it got stuck in TP mode. Had to hold down the power buttons to adjust the temp to off and it went back into regular mode. I'm back to happily vaping my kayfun at 12 watts. This device definitely has a learning curve. Will start working with nickel builds tomorrow.

Patience is not the problem.... (And it also is :))
The problem is that we are thinking that VS processes their orders in the order that it received them. That's why people are getting upset when they clearly placed their order before some others and those others are having theirs shipped like the next day after ordering and everyone else needs to have patience for a 3 week delay before shipping.

Maybe they pull them out of a hat or have a spinner in the office where they pick a digit every day and process only orders which contain that digit or (most plausible) this is just the way their system hands out the next order to package (randomly, especially if they are placed on the same day). Who knows :)

It would be logical for VS to have allotted x number of rDNA40s and associated items for their package deal, physically organized/labeled the items that way in their shipping area and put each grouping in their computerized inventory as a single entry. The shipping department would then ship out what shows up as being in inventory.

I always add a couple of extra weeks in my delivery expectations for items not in stock to allow for manufacturing and customs delays, neither of which are uncommon in the industry. I also plugged in an extra week to allow for Xmas delays by carriers.

This Vapour Trails/Haze Hour 04-12-14 interview with Evolv's Brandon about the DNA 40 is well worth watching. However, there were tech difficulties and commercials so I highlighted some times for highlights.
0:10:10 - start of segment with Brandon
0:13:27 - how to select celsius (newer boards only)
0:20:50 - back after technical issues & commercial
0:26:36 - temperature sensing needs mod/wire at same temp for baseline reading
0:29:10 - using average temperature of coil
0:30:10 - temperature sensing re: Ni200, SS and titanium wire
0:36:25 - after commercial - screen freezing bug issue
0:38:03 - stopped production for 1 1/2 weeks
0:45:35 - back after tech issues & commercial
0:46:43 - temperature range of board
0:47:11 - superheated vapor between coil and juice
0:53:44 - Kanger & Nautilus heads - Atlantis in the works
0:57:00 - next Evolv technology starts testing in January
0:59:08 - not switching into regular (Kanthal) mode
1:00:30 - spaced rather than contact coils recommended
1:01:28 - only prompts for new coil if the board doesn't know
1:01:58 - refinement mode
1:03:25 - post hole connectors cause problems
1:09:54 - larger, detachable screen will be offered
1:10:57 - production started last week of boards with celsius option
 
This is insane to me...... I ordered my rdna40 on November 25th..... That's the Tuesday before cyber Monday......and mine hasn't even shipped yet.

I ordered mine the same day.

I e-mailed them and got a reply the day before yesterday, Dec 4th

If your buddy's order did not contain an rDNA, then it's possible.

No orders containing rDNA devices placed on Cyber Monday have shipped.

There is not a ten business day processing time on all orders, only orders containing rDNA devices.

- Will

So what? Did VS just outright lie?
