Man, much as I'd love to be miffed, I just can't be bothered. I love knowing that so much love and energy is going into such a killer product.

I know you said it is an open ended problem and can't give a timeline for when it will be solved but based on your experience are we talking days, weeks, months, years? Sometime in 2015 or more likely 2016 sometime?

Wait is the pre-sale over? It looks like I hesitated and missed it :/ I was wavering because money, of which I already have some tied up in GH, and I have an HI in progress, and already love my FW, and like all my vapes have updated models out now and I want them, too! But I want a Zion. Having big time VAS problems.

Does that mean the ones who paid $230 this month also get the lifetime warranty and stealth mouthpiece/screen pack?A little confusing... Try the drop down menu under the FAQ - Contact tab
In order for all cult members to feel part of the family we will be extending the lifetime warranty to all Zion's sold to date so we better get it right
A close read of the FAQs will show that we are giving away a free stealth mouthpiece and screen pack as thanks for your patience during this short delay.

When i read this a couple of weeks ago, although i realised a delay was likely, i must admit it that it made me quite happy to think that although all the reviews of the beta units were very positive and shipping units of a similar, or even slightly lesser quality by the sounds of how good the beta units already are, would make many people very happy, @RBT chose not to send out pretty great units, and then improve quality down the line with later units, or a "new and improved model".
It sounds like the plan always was, and remains, getting the best possible production unit 'out of the gate' the first time. I applaud that and prefer to wait for the best possible based on current tech/knowledge etc (obviously future versions will improve, but not at the expense of a rushed and sub par first model)
These kind of values seemed in the forefront throughout this process/thread, and was a major reason i jumped in on the zion (and the stealth) in the first place. I am glad to see little has changed even with money on the table.
Keep up the good work, and remember to take a break.

I probably could sit here and complain about not meeting deadlines and pushing this out further meaning it will be longer before I get my very own Zion, but how could I? They're delayed cause RBT refuses to send out anything but the best product he can produce. How can you be mad at that? I will still eagerly look for updates and hope I have mine by thanksgiving, but I'd rather wait longer than get a unit that I need to send back..

Wait... what?!
...you mean it's gonna be better than what we got?!
Is that even possible?!
I bought mine right at the September/October boundary so I wasn't sure what "model" I would be getting as I still wasn't fully aware of the progress or how they would be distributed. I was worried I wouldn't be getting one of the most up to date versions.
So while I am slightly heartbroken that mine probably hasn't even been made yet, I am very happy that I will be getting a complete and up to date actual product.
We experienced some technical difficulties with our Refund form on our www. The issue has been resolved and the refund page has been moved to the main menu.
Anyone that is at all displeased with RBT in anyway please submit for a refund ASAP. At this point in time we only want truly dedicated Cult members that are patiently awaiting their initiation. I will happily issue you a refund within 5 days.

I like the box styling of the Zion, I prefer it over pen style vapes. I mean these days there's nothing more suspicious than someone with a pen. It's like what the fuck are you going to do with that thing?
However it's probably much harder to perform an emergency tracheotomy with a Zion

I'll bust that long stem and...presto...big bore trach tube. AND since I have the shorty stem, I'll still be able to have a nice sesh after I clean up the blood.

Sooooooo, Johnny's still performing . . .
And I'm really getting into that trumpet . . .
How long have we been together now . . . ? 4 months or more? And still the only clean that has been required is a wash of the stem and a quick screen refresh every now & then. I LOVE this feature.
And I LOVE my Zion. It's ALWAYS ready to go.
Much respect to you RBT for putting this fine vaporizer first.
Personally, I wouldn't want it any other way.
We are all here, waiting in the wings.
Ready, but only when you are.
PËÅÇÊÑLÕVË y'all

@RastaBuddhaTao i know we can change our preorders as far as accessories but, can I add an additional Zion to my purchase and if so will the cost be the same?

You could probably use the Zion to pop in a chest tube.

Did I take it a little too far? Damn it man.

All we can do is wait. And no one likes to wait. The main thing we can do as a group is try and make this wait as hpain free as possible. Truth be known we have no idea how long this hiccup will take to figure out. I do know that us as a hole being negative torwards each other or RBT will do absolutly nothing to expedite the process. And I think the refund that RBT is pushing for for all the unhappy customers is to try and bring some positive vibes back into the Zion folds. This of course is IMO only. I'm not trying to speak for any one but myself.
I'm not sure about anyone else but I'm starting to get that Zion funkadelic groove back in my soul.

I think we may all have stepped out of that groove somewhat buddy. Some more than others.
I think the GH threads have made it harder for new manufacturers to ask for help monetary wise be it pre-orders or crowd funding. It's turned otherwise patient people, and rightly so. $365K and 3053 backers all paid out in December 2013 and who knows how many after the Indie campaign. Still waiting.
RBT could, as he said, have sent out what he considered to be an inferior product and none of us would have been any the wiser. He chose not to. How selfish of the man wanting to make sure everyone received an RBT product that performs above and beyond every ones expectations.
He could quite easily have rolled each and every turd in anodized glitter and sent them out hoping no one noticed and then offered refunds or exchanged parts to help re-shine said turds.
He hasn't. He has opened up and expressed HIS dissatisfaction with the vapor production and informed us all that he won't send anything out until each and every Zion meets the standards he expects.
I'm off to bother TKW dual power house style.
