by "now have slits" what do you mean? was there a new listing claiming that these new eggs would have slits instead of poke holes?
i'm about to message cynthia and figure out why i don't have slits in my perc. ill send this egg back for one with slits instead of the 6 pinholes
CCG must have made a small batch first with the 6 pinholes - the ones you and I and some others have received - and now this second batch - the ones people are recently receiving - has the slits (like on an inline perc) instead of the pinholes.
@mixchu69 just confirmed that the one with slits is impressive. There is a picture of it on the previous page. I know it will function much better than the pinhole perc.
IMO it may not be worth "returning" for a replacement unless you are located close to where it ships from. If you are in the US I bet it will cost $40+ to ship it back. I asked for a discount and ordered a new one, confirming that it would be one with the slit perc. CCG took $3 off. Not much at all but I'm not going to complain. I will just sell the first crappy one and get my money back.
It's all part of the risk you take when you are one of the first people to buy a new item. This has happened to me a couple times now where the first people to buy the item get the crappy version and soon after a better version comes out.
I'm going to start buying after the first batch of people receive them.
