"Pre-orders will be shipped out latest 15th of August"
I totally understand they want to release the best product possible. But.
The delays are too much. Announcing a product early for release, and then continuously delaying it isn't "good marketing strategy" like some here have been saying. It taints their reputation and professionalism, and being extremely transparent with dates does not help the trust-factor either. Why are we finding out the dates through alternative sites, and not from DV themselves?
"Companies don't usually share with consumers info well before a product is released."
I respectfully disagree. This is a forum for vaping and vapes, it is only natural that vaping companies would want to start the hype at the heart of their audience. Go to other forums though, and other companies do very well the same thing. Same with backing Kickstarter and such, people are now given info from the start of production, and given updates along the way. They just don't keep delaying their products, and when they do, they tell you when it will come out.
But don't worry, because we can get a regular davinci on sale as apologies, because buying a different vaporizer while waiting for a different vape to come out sounds logical. Here have more money for making me wait. Sorry for the rant but, if other companies did this, companies that aren't supplying a product we are craving, I don't think consumers would give the product a second-look.
