The Stainless Steel and the Titanium ones each start from 0000, and the Stainless Steel ones have been well in the 5-digits more than a year ago. My recently repaired is 11,000-ish and was bought by the shop from VDN in Spring/Summer last year. *Allegedly VDN bought them from HL a while before that, it was an "older" charge they gave to shops at a discount, when they got a "better" charge from HL (* at least that's what my local shop told me)
Also, this may appear a bit pettifogging, but I would rather see the expression "failure rate" used correctly, as in number of faulty units per 1000 or whatever relation, and that number we can only guess. Of course it's a fncked up experience to see >20 repairs on one unit but it still doesn't say too much about the general failure. If that was in any way representative, how could they have survived the first year of existence? They may even have the worst reliability of all vapes, any investor would have cut the losses if it was as dramatic as many here suggest.
Bad (or good) thing is, this unit gets people hooked on it like not many other do.
