I am aware that Evolve does not manufacture the finished product.  But I do think they were involved enough, or should have been for such an oversight not to occur.  Just my opinion.
 
	Here is how I experienced my purchase of the item.  It did not come with pods, they must be purchased separately.   I bought 3 2packs of pods.   One 2pack both were doa.  The other two 2packs were fine.
 
	I hook it to escribe and it did not connect, turned out the cable that came with it was not a data cable in a device that is valued for its escribe program use with it.
 
	When I change data cable to another one, escribe opens but does not detect the device, nor inform me of an update that would do so.
 
	I then have to do a search of the forums to find the new version to use.
 
	Then it all comes together.
 
	 
 
	Okay, I understand doo doo happens, glitches, etc.  but if I were not experienced and not persistant as maybe a new vapor trying an elite pod system might be, it would be disappointing.
