RBT shipping thread

High since 1968
From RBT Progress page:

"Initial production underway at 5 - 20 units per week using soft tooling
Early customers are receiving units with no failures to date
Current shipments are from June of 2015 which are expected to be completed in February"

So very roughly 50 per month? Come to mama :nod:

to the most recent recipients: did you guys get tracking numbers?

I ordered on June 12th, which was just a day after one of the most recent recipients. I've been anticipating a tracking number but haven't seen anything come through on the old email yet.

I'm wondering... once the manufacturing contract starts, are Zions going to start shpiping out like crazy? From my guess it's taking about a month to make zions for a month of orders, pitting me around a eta of a may ship date, complete guess (which probably A LOT soonee then ill get a grasshopper, june 5th order jus be happy to get by this christmas). So yea guess just curious how much the manufacturing will speed everything up.

Mine just arrived. I'm off to watch a video so I can figure out how to use it.:)

To get started Maggie, try an empty stem with the dial turned up (with thumb on trigger, noon should be 0%), then try a packed stem at 50% to get a sense of heat. You should start drawing slowly when you press the button and then speed up as the heater climbs in temp during the first few seconds, back to back hits heat up will get even quicker. There should be more tips somewhere around here... Good luck and enjoy!

Thanks. I'm waiting for the batteries to charge. This vaporizer actually looks easier to make sense of then any of my recent purchases. One question is that the temp dial is pretty resistant to turning more than a quarter turn. I haven't gotten it to 75 but I'm not being pushy about it because I don't want it to break. Does it just need a little break in to turn smoothly or does it turn differently when the batteries are in and ready to use?

Can't see how the batteries could affect the knob, but there's always a chance somethings off with yours like Madcap's. Each beta could've been different, I have one tight and one loose, I wouldn't worry about going past 75% for now if if really seems to stop there (is it rubbing the wood, or fully stopping) and be gentle with it. Hopefully everything is fine, but as is it should still be able to work normally otherwise and it will be sorted out. And yes, its pretty intuitive unlike some others imo, waiting for the batteries to charge is the hardest part...

Can someone confirm that RBT contacts all customers in advance to confirm shipping address? I have tried unsuccessfully to contact them.

Yes he does, don't worry.

@jim-bob refund page says too allow for a certain number if days I think. Also says somewhere questions asked in the FAQ won't be answered at all, and maybe that is a case by case rule. Hope this helps

Hey guys, I'm really trying to figure out where the January orders are in this line.
Have the FC 100 all been accounted for? Are the purchases after the fc100 part of the 200 bulk that he's currently building ? I've searched far and wide for answers, have read 70+ pages of the Zion thread, and have not been able to figure this out.

I know 26 have been ordered since January 12th, and he mentions something about 50 or so before that, so does that mean we're about 75 on the list? or is it more like 175 because of orders inbetween the fc100 and that 50 or so that he mentioned.
It's just a very confusing area, and instead of being criticized, i'd appreciate someone just telling me they don't know instead of telling me to get some patience and wait. This is the largest vape purchase I've ever invested in, and would like to know a ballpark area of here I'm at.

I realize it's going to be months, that's not the point. I just want to see the progress and the line shrink as orders get out, but that's kind hard when you have no idea where you're at in relation to that line.

I don't think you're too close. I ordered June 12th and recently received mine.

Didn't know there was a thread for it, thank you very much for this.
The issue comes from, not when others are recieving theres, but the fact that there was a blackout period of fixing issues and dialing in the final product. I don't know the delay this caused, or how it relates to previous purchasers from receiving their units.
I'll navigate myself to that thread, thank you again.

I'm really looking forward to receiving mine, as the time hopefully draws nearer :ko:

I ordered mid August before the International deadline, I just wondered if I was included in that first 50 RBT keeps mentioning just to give me some sort of rough idea.

Sorry man, no clue here :shrug:
I'd imagine only RBT would know for sure?

Not much help :ugh:
