My final thoughts, and my message to Mini.

to Mini

I do wish to apologize as I think I understand what happened now. You were asking me to pay for a 2nd shipment, if I wanted you to ship the first one immediately.

I misread that and do sincerely apologize for my reaction.

Please do not ship them separately. Hold them until they're both ready to ship, then send them both in one package.

I will ask you though, to PLEASE make sure there are no issues with them, before shipping. I would rather wait a few extra days, to make sure that this is the last time they have to cross an ocean. If adjustments need to be made, I'd prefer they be made by you, and not need to be done by me.

Thank you, and again, my apologies. I will make this apology public too, since I was so hard on you yesterday.

Sincerely,
David

Looks like a communication error...which from their wording is totaly understandable..I would draw the same conclusion...and get upset! But it does reassure me somewhat that they are standing by their customers.
It looks like they trying to make it right And a free Merkava is not something to be sniffed at....

Let's hope it will resolve itself, and you get your sticks in perfect working order asap

I have been lurking here for a while as I ordered my xvo on the 30th August and was hoping to share the joy whilst waiting (!!) I emailed as mine is still not on it's way and have just had an reply - it will be another week but more importantly they have said the new batch have smaller buttons to resolve sticking issue (I specifically asked). Really hope your issues are resolved @DPLongo22 @Katdarling and hope I don't regret not cancelling

It seems mine was just a batch earlier...I ordered about the same time (few days earlier, but ordered the Merkava/Xvo set) and it was shipped sunday...I hope that batch also has the smaller buttons...I'll report back when it is in (it has left Israel and is currently in the plane)

I agree that it sounds like they have issues with communicating in English. Here's hoping that it gets worked out.

I own the authentic XvoStick and love it!

I like to live on the wild side sometimes so I just ordered the clone from 3F. Hope it's OK to mention this I have realistic expectations if you follow my drift.

1. Does anyone have the clone and can report on it?

2. What chip are they using? Yes, I can see pics but I doubt it's an authentic Evolve at the current price?

 

[ian91]

Mine was shipped 2 days ago. Will report on it once I get it. Will probably be a couple of weeks. You can pretty well guarantee that it does not have an authentic Evolve chip given the price point.

Yes - hopefully miscommunication - I ordered the set too . You do realise @DPLongo22 the Merkava means building coils?

Well, that's not exactly the ONLY option.

 

[Katdarling]

No worries. I'll build 'em for you, Longolino.

Yep! What's kind of interesting is the 3F video for this device. Not sure if you saw it but watch them step through the chip's menu. Looks familiar. /lol Actually, I could care less whose chip they use as long as it works in power mode.

Well then, THAT settles it!

And I'm sure that I'm not the only person who spit out a drink, when reading...

If you find a product to be authentic, then it is not a clone.

 

[NotSoMini]

@drippaboi - Really nice looking case — might need to consider a black one. I will wait though to ensure I have no issues with the Evo when I get it. Did you order from Mini or direct through Parish? As far as the TC glitch, yes I understand Evolv needs to fix it. Funny that when I asked Mini about this glitch they skirted by question by saying they are they using the new version with the atomizer lock which is what I am suppose to get. They did not come out and state that the glitch was fixed with this version.

 

[NotSoMini]

@DPLongo22, @Katdarling - happy to read your issue was resolved with Mini.

 

[drippaboi]

@NotSoMini - I ordered direct from Parish (it was a little cheaper and there are way more options vs ordering through Mini). Be warned!! it takes roughly 3.5 weeks from when you order to your door - Patience is a must with all thing Chels!

I don't want to turn this into a clone thread either, but I've been considering one of these mods, and in light of the issues, I'm now considering a clone. I don't normally buy clone mods as there are many authentic ones that are affordable and have held up well for me, like Sigeleis. I did buy a clone VF on a whim one night when Focalecig put them on sale for like $35. And to my surprise that Kangxin chip has been less goofy than my Evolv chips. So the clone Xvostick may be ok as is, and perhaps less problematic? I also don't mind rebuilding mods as much when I paid very little for them, but when I shell out the bucks for something pricey, I expect it to be quality.

I would like to hear from authentic owners on this. Try, if you can, to not have a clone bias. I have a couple of clone attys now that have turned out to be nicer than their authentic "brothers"

 

[Jonner]

I will only possess the authentic for the next few minutes as I sold it and need to get it to the post office, I already miss it, . In this case, I can't compare the authentic to the clone because I only have the authentic. I have had a few atty clones that were at least as good if not close to the authentic (which I also usually owned). But with mods, I feel a little bit biased toward the original. If I wanted a Provari, I bought a Provari, same with other "high-end mods" (hana,vaporshark, etc...) I wanted the name behind the mod and the warranty, knowing that if something went wrong, I was "covered." The authentic Xvostick (albeit the few that had problems) is pretty awesome, and definitely high quality, I wouldn't buy the clone of it for fear of it breaking on down the line.

"Revolve"

But is it an authentic "Revolve"???
