The vapir cleaning brushes and ELB's I ordered did show....I guess that's better than nothing!

I'm sorry, way2.

Is it possible that they are just running really, really late? It is the holiday season. I wouldn't give up hope yet.

I wish...I'm a UPS guy in my home city and I know all of the FedEX drivers none of them had anything for me.(I hunted all 4 of them down to check!! Lol) The tracking also never updated after leaving CT. It's no big deal really as I'll be working until 10-10:30 and passing out when I get home anyway. However...I WILL storm the FedEx facility after work tomorrow if it doesn't show!!

I also want to add that UPS asked me to come in Sat. AND Sun. To help us catch up to the demand. I've been there almost 10 years and not once have we worked on a Sunday. So it's understandable that it didn't show....FedEx is even further behind than us!!

No lie the other day I said to myself when Hexi, grokit, way2, etc. get their shipping confirmations I'll have mine too (random). Didn't get mine tho :lol:

$690 is only $80 more than an early bird with a case, no waiting and it's blue so not that bad actually:

This is an unused model sent for review and underwent minor testing over the course of one day. It has been fully cleaned and maintained in pristine condition.

My evo(+/?) has made it out of the east coast and is now officially in illinois.

Anticipa-a-ation :argh:

There is a new photo of VXL on their instagram. This is the first time we can see the new bamboo nicely. Its indeed very different.
The restrictions seem made differently. The outside of the bamboo is no longer straight, but narrows with them.
I think this can protect it against heat shock. I think this bamboo wouldn't break like in my old Cloud.
It seems a bit more mechanicaly fragile at the bottom - but the bottom does never get stressed anyway.

The two heating/mixing chambers went below the heater.
I think this doesn't entiraly mean they are not working anymore. I think the heat from the heater can reach the first and second one.
Maybe they don't get exactly on the temp anymore, but as preheaters, i assume their function probably continues.
The new main heat exchanger is just a wide hollow tube. After being pre-heated in these chamber, this should do the real magic now.
What magic is still a mystery to me. i only have experience with the Cloud which only uses the chambers.

Tracking finally updated again and shows "on vehicle for delivery" :rockon: But....the "estimated delivery date" now says 12/24 (it said N/A after originally showing 12/21 then changing to 12/20 and not showing up last night):hmm:

I hope it just shows up today while I'm at work!! That would be a great welcome home tonight!!

Oh well....time to go....wish me luck!!
