the smell of mine isn't noticeable during normal use. I investigated further due to the recent discussion.
received it within the week. mine has the recessed glass and intake screen like the newly shipping models
e: just heated mine for about 5 seconds and then feathered a bit without a stem...
I smelled the female joint after heating and definitely got a whiff of glue, but I have never tasted it during a session.
I thought the glue issue was discussed during beta testing, as well as by a few members thereafter. The consensus was that the while glue isn't the safest option, it isn't...
I've been favoring packing small buds too. much easier to deal with and no noticeable performance difference.
I think @AJS mentioned this before but the silicone sleeve from a nano stem can be used to pair the Mi with glass. I have been saving the small uncooked pieces of abv that I couldn't...
interesting, I've never come close to combusting and have definitely pulled with the button pressed for longer than 3 seconds.
my usual stem experience is 3-4 great draws (clouds and taste) to start. then taste will begin to fade and I will empty the load to a table, stir, and reload. next...

I'm guessing @Shit Snacks might know?
took the Mi to a concert this weekend.

I understand that you and others may have ordered before PV but still haven't received units yet
the quoted post says the order was made at the end of the sale, thus likely after the PV order.
regardless, PV has units in their possession ready to ship, independent of whether RBT also has units ready to ship.
PV purchased some # of units at preorder, received the order, and is now shipping onto their customers, as you would expect from a retail store.
RBT presumably is in the process of building and shipping the remaining preorders, like yours.
I think one member received a unit this week, but the rest of the preorders are in the same boat as you. if I recall, the RBT website had the first week of July as the deadline for preorder shipping, though some members (including me) were told privately that preorder units would be shipping...
