Arrrrrgh! I'm having a total "First World Problems" moment here.
The delivery slip that I received on Friday was not for my Cloud, it was for something else. Hopefully the Cloud will show up tomorrow...based on the tracking number it is in my city and *should* be available tomorrow. I'm reaaaally hoping that the whole Cloud package shows up and not just a box with my extra ELBs. If I just receive ELBs I think I might actually have a Cloud-related aneurysm.
Oh boy...I did not think it would be possible to suffer such serious withdrawal symptoms for a vape I haven't even used yet. I'm glad that I paid for the expedited shipping because at this rate, with standard shipping, the wait probably would have been unbearable! Enjoy your Clouds folks and I hope that I'll be joining you soon!!! If the Cloud Gods are smiling then it will be sooner rather than later
EDIT: So, I just rechecked the mail box and there is now a delivery slip in there. The buzzer never rang so the mailman was probably being lazy, assumed I wasn't home yet (I'm normally not home at this time of day) and left the slip. D'OH!!! The scary thing is that there is no Duty or Customs charges...so either I got lucky and am not being charged import fees for my Cloud OR this is a package that only contains ELBs... Can anyone who ordered a Cloud package since the launch of the new store confirm if Clouds and ELBs are still shipping separately or has that been resolved?
EDIT NO. 2: Well, the mailman just answered my question re: shipping order and package contents. I seriously have the best mailman ever. He didn't ring the bell because he assumed I wouldn't be home, but he DID double back at the end of his route to stop by and try me again, figuring I'd be home by that time! I wanted to hug him I was so happy. The Cloud has arrived, extra ELBs included! So stoked! I am heating it up for the first time (happy to say that the clicking noise is not nearly as bad/loud as I thought it'd be--as a person with OCD I thought it might be potential problem) and so far my first impressions are as follows:
Fit and finish is high quality, there are only a few small blemishes which are not noticeable unless you stare very closely. As others have noted, both the Cloud and the HT are smaller than I was expecting which is great. The HT itself is looking REALLY fine: the cuts in the trees are really even and clean, and the construction is beyond solid. The mouthpiece diameter is a little smaller than I'd prefer but to be honest it still feels comfortable so I'm sure I'll get used to it.
My only concern at the moment is that there is a small hole in the silver part of my Cloud casing, right next to the temp dial. I can see the light going red on the inside of the tube through this little hole, that's really the only way I noticed it. Anyone think that this might be a concern? I will take some pictures later to highlight what I mean but right now it's time to go pick up the wife from work and come back home to test this baby out!
