Damn, right now this is the most wanted mod. At least it feels that way.
The wait and the fact that they are arriving in small batches is not helping either

I'll just exercise good old patience - let everyone stress and shorten their lives hyper-ventilating in anticipation & scoop 1 up at my leasure
Took the Smok Alien on my day out on the water fishing a bass compo at Wagendrift dam... was pretty impressed with it's performance and battery life. It has 2 x Samsung 30Q's and it pretty much lasted me the whole day and over 10ml's of juice!
Geeez that's no good @BumbleBee . Glad I held off buying one. Send it back to the supplier.It would seem that Kangertech has some competition as far as inferior paint finish is concerned, not even a week and only 650 odd puffs and the paint is falling off in chunks

That is strange. Had mine for 1 month now and not a single chip.
Any accidents we need to know of?

@BumbleBee Your not alone it seems there are many others complaining of paint chipping. Maybe its a batch problem because Smok does a really good job on their paint. My H-Priv paint job is still perfect except for 2 knicks from when I dropped it

EXACTLY what I was talking about all this time. Just not a really good paint job and I am having the same issues not as bad as that though but just the fragility of the paint is unbelievably bad. Now I know I'm not the only one, thought I had the only one in the batch that was bad.
The paint isn't chipping, this mod like all my devices is looked after really well, it doesn't go in the pocket with keys etc and it never gets set down on a hard surface without some sort of coaster. The first bit of paint to come off just got stuck to my finger, it's peeling off like skin. There are also sections of metal appearing on some edges of the body as well as on the minus button.
I have no intention of returning it to the vendor, it's not his fault and he would get stuck with it, (unofficial import and all that). Once all the paint is off I will attempt to repaint it.
Another thing, from photos I've seen it looks like the grey trim is like black chrome but mine is a painted metallic grey.

This does not bode well
Hmm, this is not great at all.
Has anyone sent an email to Smok directly to find out whether it is perhaps a known issue / bad batch and maybe there is something which can be done about it?
I just hope that I do not experience the same issues with my mod when I receive it.

I'm so sorry buddy, worse thing is if this is happening to everyone it's not even like you have a unique stripped alien!It would seem that Kangertech has some competition as far as inferior paint finish is concerned, not even a week and only 650 odd puffs and the paint is falling off in chunks

I know it isn't the vendors fault, but at the end of the day that is why we support our local vendors. IMO it is still not acceptable and in the end the vendor supplied you with a obviously faulty product, it's their responsibility to correct it.
EDIT - This is my roundabout way of saying I think you should be raging and kicking up some serious poop!

Also mine from Sir Vape is black chrome. Where did you buy from?

Alas, my Alien is also shedding its skin. Its only a week and a bit old so I am rather disappointed with its new appearance. Surprisingly I have not dropped it yet and I don't put it in my pockets with other things that usually hide in pockets. I don't even wear steal-wool pants as they tend to chafe
I also noticed the slight bubbling and that you can scratch the paint off with your nail where it bubbles. I will admit that I have spilled some of my flavour potions - but I can assure you that all the ingredients are from one of the Diamond Vendors. I have not tried making Battery Acid Banana Blitz yet.
