I thought long and hard about it, it mostly comes down to the temp control for me. I was really looking forward to a set and mostly forget on the Zion.
The strength of the heater isn't as big a concern to me as I have found the grasshopper heater is plenty strong enough for my use/tolerance or...
Well it's been a very long and interesting journey but I'm out. Requested a refund today, will likely put the money into a FW4 when they launch instead.
Hopefully Zion gets going at some point, it would still be a perfect vape for me but I really can't wait no longer.
Peace all!
Any news on Zion production front? It's been about 8 weeks since the last update about rejigging the circuit boards to avoid hot trace, testing of those should be almost wrapped up perhaps?
Maybe a couple of months from now till the production line is all set up?
Not checking in often these...
Seems like there's heaps of demand, he seems to be mostly selling retail packs to people like PV in Canada now.
It's the scaling up to big quantity wholesaling, rather than selling one here and there to preorders, that is taking the bulk of the time now.
Just got an encouraging email from Ryan, he says that they're definitely still committed to completing the Zion project and getting that off the ground properly once the Milaana heat dies down a little. I feel much better with staying the course now I know it's not being shelved, and info...
As long as the Zion is still going to be produced, I'm still in. I just got my GH yesterday so that'll tide me over for a while.
As long as the plan is still to produce Zions at some point... Oh god I hope it is.
I was wondering the same thing about the address confirmation notices before shipping, so I sent him an email.
He replied within a couple of days that the Millaanas were shotgun shipped to try and meet 4/20, and going forward, all orders should get an address confirmation first.
He also said...
I'll take your word for it vnv, as long as the guy hasn't fallen off a cliff or something!
I think I'll avoid checking back here for the next 4 weeks and hope there's some good news then, for my own sanity if nothing else.
Peace lads
He's not releasing Milaana first. The Zion has been released. He has hit some roadblocks in scaling up mass manufacture.
From about a month ago, with all Zion info too:

I wouldn't be surprised, Milaana seems a lot simpler in large scale manufacture terms than the Big Guy, especially at this crucial point where the Zions need to be able to be manufactured en masse to a high spec, rather than one at a time in a small workshop
Cool, I hadn't heard about the knob being redesigned, so that's some good info :)
Even if the news is that it's going to take longer than anticipated, it's good news to me. Makes the waiting feel less limbo-ish, if you know what I mean.
Thanks!
Hello Zion Nation!
Anyone have any updates on whether the broken units have been fixed and/or returned to their proud parents?
It's been about a month since RBT's last update and with April fast approaching I'm getting a bit antsy about my July order being sent out in the next 4 weeks. But...
Congrats on the great news RBT! Keep on doing what you doing :rockon:
Hope you get to take a little time for yourself over Chrissy, in between working to give us the world's best vape
:peace:
That insurance is crazy! I recently ran over a li-ion out of a nokia 207 with a rideon lawn mower and holy shit, those things are jam packed with explody juice. Set fire to the neighbors paddock.
Battery safety is no joke, and the nitecore chargers seem to be the only ones with regulated low...
From my reading after I got into subohm mech mods, the highest discharge batts available are all 20A continuous 35A pulse. That's the LG HE/HGs, the purple efest 2500mah, Samsung 25R, Sony VTC4. All good picks.
@RastaBuddhaTao I placed an order in july for a zion to be shipped to Australia, I haven't got a confirmation email from you guys so I just wanted to check that nothing's gone awry with my order and to confirm that it can be sent to Australia.
I don't believe I payed for any shipping so I'm not...
