Mine left Miami early this am and is in transit. Now the question is, did it fly or by burro? LOL

Now a question, what the hell is a "a quartz nano kit" from a previous post?

The quartz nano kit gives the Kayfun Lite a glass tank and shortens the overall length by one of those sections of the tank. You lose about 1.5 ML of juice, but that still leaves me with 3 ML. That's enough to get me through most of the day. I just wanted a shorter profile tank for my rDNA, since this will be my all day vape while at the office.

Thanks, that cleared it up. Sounds like a great tank.

Small update. Sent a support email to get my rDNA issues addressed. VS responded the next morning with a 1 day priority shipping label to send her back, no questions asked. I dont use the mail much, but the label did included a box and packing material from the post office free of charge. So good so far, Ill update as I know more!

Back to my eGO-V till she returns :( (Many many sad faces, this thing blows in comparison)

hmm... seeing the wretched status and service responses some are having.. makes me a sad panda. personally, I have little tolerance for businesses that cant be bothered to pay attention and update status etc. Im an IT Professional. If a business doesn't respond with a short time during business hours to mail requests, etc.. I generally dont do business with them. Was in the market for a Benz a few years ago. there are 2 dealers in Pinellas county. First one, took all day to respond to a email from their site. By the time they bothered, I had already done the deal at the other dealer.. they had responded within minutes of my query.

reminds me of my first tech support job.. '99 software spectrum ( a 3rd party vendor ) supporting AOL. as a tech, we were NEVER allowed to be honest with the customers, and actually acknowledge issues with aol. always had to give some bs excuse. I didn't stay there long, my integrity was worth more than that job paid.

seems the way of the world. we wallow in lies at every bend, especially from larger companies. seems to be tied to scale... the larger the scale, the more poorly managed. ( I work for the gov now... don't get me started!! ) LOL

All I can say is this to my friends on this thread, waiting... if you ordered say a week ago.. and see no verifiable movement.. I would google VS.. get a number for a B&M store.. not their 800's.. and call and ask for a manager. dont scream, be direct. write your questions down, explain without emotion, your experience, and disappointment with their lack of transparency. ask politely for some support and assistance.

practice some compassion too. you see.. 20-30 years of people thinking.. " the customer is always right" has created a lot of real thieves, exploiters, scumbags.. that rip off businesses all the time with their BS. people looking for something for nothing, using service to exploit, etc. don't be that guy. this 10% group.. has burned businesses so bad.. there is a tendency to treat us all.. like that trashy crowd, to suspect we are trying to rip them off. be respectful, but direct.

for those that have seen some movement, just haven't received it yet, 2 things. one.. generally never use the free shipping option on anything you actually want to have within a reasonable time frame. my experience with free shipping of anything? sucks. USPS just doesn't cut it. I always pay the extra for proper shipping: UPS, FedEx, DHL. 2 - practice patience. I dont know about you, but when I buy stuff online.. I struggle with patience. I want it NOW, damn it. ( see #1 )

while we have seen a few issues posted, all in all, seems most are very happy with the device ... once they actually get it in their hands. Console ourselves with that knowledge. these are darn quality little gizmos. well built, top notch.

while they have lots of franchises it seems.. their shipping dept is probably tiny ( to cut costs ) and they are in Miami ( the likelihood of even English speakers there is very low ) and I suspect, they arent even close to being staffed enough to manage the volume they have generated with this product, let alone if management is like any other company these days, they are unwilling to hire more to meet the demand, because their profits mean more than providing service.

just some thoughts. Hope everyone gets what they want sooner rather than later! And dont let the poor shipping folks and process.. cause unnecessary stress about the product. The product.. is very solid, and you will be happy with your choice... once you actually get it! lol

cheers!

Now I'm getting kind of irritated, since I've been seeing this for a little over 24 hours:

Nice post and I agree with you 100%. Just don't get me started on a Benz LOL. Bought a new one a few years ago and it was the biggest mistake I ever did. Crapped out on me. Lexus from here on out lol

Well I finally received my shipping email from VS. My gripe wasn't about it taking a little longer to ship. I do understand the demand has definitely gone up recently with their product and especially with their promo they had last week. I'll be happy when I have it in hand and hope from a problem free unit.

Yay! Congratulations! Happy it appears to be working out on your order.

Thanks! Did you happen to get any update on your order yet?

No, still processing. Thanks for asking.



Still vaping on my new Erlkonigin tank. It is certainly consoling me. Super super happy with the flavor and vape quality. As usual I am running it with the AFC off of it.

Just got mine today... was supposed to be delivered on Monday but got here early. Just pulled it off the charger about five minutes ago.

First impressions: Amazing. Great packaging. Extremely well built. The thing is tiny, but fits in my hand perfectly. A solid, extremely well built machine. It's a tank... small, but heavy. Can't say much more at this point, will update as the experience continues through the next week or so. It's paired with my favorite tank: a Nautilus Mini with BVC head.
