I'm still impatient lol...

They pushed back my delivery from the 26 to the 27th... Damn you Utah! Why do things move slowly through you?!

At least you have your shipping notification…
I am still waiting…

I was hoping that i would have my EVO before the Herbie arrived…
Looks like the EVO is going to have some stiff competition!

Happy Holidays Guys,

I just wanted to jump in and give everyone waiting a little update. I can not make any promise's because we are waiting on some parts to allow us to build the units, but assuming we get the parts. We have things geared up to complete the remainder of IGG orders + Preorders in a matter of days (Production Wise).

So the obvious question will be when does this ship. I can not give exact dates because a few things are in our supplier's hands, but everyone at VapeXhale will make sure that when it gets into our hands we follow the timeline I described above!

Can't wait to get an EVO in all of your hands so I can end my tolerance break. I'm personally on a T-break until all EVO orders are fulfilled :)

Does this include international?

Fedex dropped the ball for the online tracking of mine.
The "local agent" has had it since monday but the delivery date is still "n/a" :cuss:

edit: called fedex just now, "local agent" is the post office! If vxc had just priority-mailed it to me in the first place I would have had it days ago, in time for xmas and probably cheaper for vxc.

And in the end fedex mailed it to me the cheapest way possible, so who knows when I'll get it.
Yet they bring ~$50 worth of amazon crap to my doorstep for free every month!
More of a sour taste in my mouth, hopefully the first hit will wash it out.
Did I mention that I'm not crazy about fedex?
:horse:

edit2: Okay so I went to the post office (at 17 below zero) and picked up this giant box with a pelican-type case bouncing around inside, along with an unassambled evo box that was beat to shit from rumbling around with the pelican case and absolutely no packing materials. The box was big enough for three pelican cases easy, so kind of a curious choice considering all of the lead time they had. But luckily it arrived safely, and testing can commence.

:science: after a bit of testing from noon to 3pm, I was able to both get to the edge of combustion and find my sweet spot, and get very very high in the process. From reading about this thing seemingly forever in waiting (I know, it was much longer for some of you!), I would say that my unit is calibrated properly.

The swaggertube is very cool, if a bit smaller overall than anticipated--much like the evo itself. I tried it, my older vxl hydratree, and inverted on the blaze bong as I was dialing the evo in. The case is bombproof and worth every penny so I can actually see why there was an absence of packing material but that was a really big box.

Because of the extreme anticipation involved it would be impossible for the evo to live up to expectations immediately, so I will withhold overall judgement while getting to know it better. It works very well, but I can already tell that for myself its ultimate challenge may be ergonomic, in that it may not fit quite as well into my routine/environment as well as my other daily drivers.

However it's definitely a beautiful device, and the storage case makes it ideal for tucking away so we shall see. It's been said already, but yes the evo is capable of very thick, sublimator-like clouds although I need to compare directly dry through the launchpad. I was a bit bummed that the dry mouthpiece wasn't part of the deal, for comparing dry setups. With the herbalizer coming next week the evo may ultimately become a luxury, but it's a luxury I would like to hold onto so time will tell.

:peace: out to this thread, have no worries the wait is definitely worth it :tup:

Glad we can close the chapter on the auction. Auction w/ $$ going to charity is 1000x different than just some random blogger with a unit auc'n it off for beer money. Not that we have any say in the matter either way, it's purely a karma thing.

FedEx and UPS were both at least 1x day behind in general, I think they said 1% of all shipments were delayed by at least 24 hours.

Mine showed up after the delay, had to sign for it. No testing yet, as others mentioned, it's way smaller than I thought, even tho it's not the bent neck. Even the hydrafoot is smaller than I anticipated for some reason.

But it sounds like we are opening another chapter entitled "Broken/Thin Bamboo". I'm even less excited to read this new development. At least the "auction" only revealed that people who paid $1000s got passed over for a random reviewer first. The cracking bamboo may be ALL of our problems very soon?

decided to pop in to see what's going on since i haven't been on in a long time...clearing my history so typing in "evo" didn't bring up any FC threads did wonders for my sanity ;) read the past couple pages and i see i haven't missed a whole lot.

at this point i don't even care anymore! kind of a good feeling...i'd even completely forgotten that the shipping email is through indiegogo.

i've written this one off as a loss. if it shows up, great. otherwise, lesson learned. to those that have received it: enjoy!

We don't have a sample size large enough to say definitively but based on the cracked glass that we got back, these were from units that were running too hot with the heater wrapped extremely tightly around the glass. There was also an issue with the way the temperature was being measured that caused some units that were running at normal temperature to continue to get hotter and hotter. These issues have been identified and resolved but this is why we did a slow roll out so that we could catch these things if they began appearing. Have a great weekend everyone and look forward to the UFC tonight!

Weidman or Silva?

I'd like to see Weidman win again but a Silva win won't make me angry in anyway.

Also, great to hear news on the crackd glass issue! Post office again closed too early today so I won't be able to send my unit in till Monday. Ah well.

Looks like my EVO will only be here next year….
No shipping updates or info for a loooong time….

Kind of sucks to be an early adopter and see so many others with their units...

Early Bird here with no EVO and I feel your pain... but seeing some issues have come up as of late makes me think maybe the wait will be better than having to send your EVO back in for repair as some have had to.

I feel ya man, I was one of the first fifteen or so contributors in the IGG campaign and still nothing (Trade-In though so I know my place haha). I'm not too worried since I still have my OG ticker taking care of me, just hard seeing everybody get their units/glass and I just need the EVO. I knew the October date wasn't gonna happen but I was hoping to have it by Xmas/New Years but now it looks like it won't even make it here for my bday next week :\.

I know it has just been a while since i have been in this thread….
A lot of people were living in the hope of getting the orders out by Christmas, that was the last update i remember….

I feel the same way except i was one of the very early Early Birds.

Anyway by the time it arrives a lot of the issues should be resolved and hopefully that means a longer lasting unit!
My Fake Cloud with a different type of heater seems to be doing the trick for now!
 
At this point I am glad they haven't shipped my trade-in. I'm really wanting a perfectly calibrated, not too-tightly wrapped bamboo, and gets hot enough to vape wax EVO.

Please don't let me down VXL!!!

I feel the same way, it's just a little disappointing that's all. A very similar situation happened right before they sent me my unit in July 2012, when preorder people started having the LED issues. I missed out on the batch that ended up having the problem and had to wait one more month to get it but it hasn't given me one single problem since I've had it. In hindsight, maybe I should just shut up and be thankful I still have a functioning OG...just can't wait to get the EVO!

Doubtful as this is a big holiday week. I suspect things at VXL will start ramping back up next week.
