Don't know what's up with that, but here's an American link for the ones I bought, about seven dollars https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002K2KHOU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I guess I got lucky with mine, I didn't do anything to secure it but it fits really snugly. Sometimes it has come loose while I was beating on the bottom to get herb out, but that's it
My stash is only a few millimeters longer than my woody s and it fits the spring just fine. And I put mine in mouthpiece toward the spring and it's never hurt it
I think Dan said it would take about 3 months to get the first batch out because it would take time to optimise the process, after which it will be about 30 a month
The "Open" email you're referring to was just the preorder email he sent out that people replied to for the chance to be in the first batch, then the "closed" email was just another email he sent immediately after the spots filled up to let people know it was over
Yay, I didn't make this one sadly, but I am on the list for the next 20! Really excited, but the wait is so gonna eat at me. Congratulations to everyone who made it in!
If you do get one, something that I find really useful is that I spent an extra 5 dollars to get a matching stash tool. Normally they are dabbers, but I had mine made as a flat head so I always have a tool to adjust my lighters with.
So I'm NOT the only one that had a unit mess up then. I had to send mine back for a while just because part of the coil had shifted and was touching part of the circuit board and I could not figure it out
