YEE HAAAAAAAAWWWWWWW for sure!!! Woot woot!! So happy that this all worked out!! Congrats Mike for being the first to step up and get 'er done!!!
How did I get so out of the loop? Newly shaped vent holes? Will this effect the veneering process? IS there still a veneering process? Are there pics or drawings or something? Inquiring minds NEED to know!
Damn, I feel so much safer now -- whew, I was all up in a tizzy about all this, too, my level of panic almost made me react!!! 
I figure my VVPV is sitting next to Elendil's.........

Great news Buzz!! Its a shame you had to go through this for no reason, IMO. But just changing the venting won't affect the look, feel, and performance of this awesome unit!
Here's another YEE-HAW!!!
Congratulations to you and your team!!!

Hopefully you can put them up for sale soon, enjoy the first out of the gate advantage
Getting to work on them ASAP ! unfortunately I will be gone next week for a trade show ! But I ban get it rolling from there .
Im wondering the same thing, i just got one from a buddy, and was thinking how sweet it would be with a veneer on it!!
ok, on my IPro...........how do the vent holes have to be to be considered safe? I thought the original holes were fine. I even had my husband drill holes in another mod to look like the IPro's holes. Ok, Mike,if my husband can't make the holes safe, can I send the Ipro back to you to make them safe?
Jen it is FINE ! ECF has stirred up a storm because of all of the OTHER mods that have NO safety features , the only thing we had to do to " comply " was to increase the holes into slots , this really does not effect your device in any way IMO , we have always had a 100 % SAFE record with our devices .
I will be fighting this BS for the next 4 years
Not your fault , it is the perception ECF has made available to the masses with not really thinking it through IMO.
Hi Jen, thanks again for the build.. The Ipro is already safe, Mike just has to cater to ECF because some wiener didnt know how to keep an eye on their batteries.. They used cheap unprotected batts in an unprotected mod..
EDIT: Mike beat me.. LOL

With ipro you have a current limited regulator, with an inline diode 3a "fuse". The vent holes cover initial minor offgas, the delrin endcap will pop on over pressure. The tube is over sized, if the batteries somehow swelled a chunk. The batteries themselves are protected.
If there weren't the above excellent mix, maybe I would tweak things. Personally no way I'm messing with my bp, and in its case I'm entirely comfortable with the unprotected powerizers, though if others want to switch to protected or imr those are options.

They are still stacked. the positive terminal of one battery is directly connected to the negative of the other, producing 8.2v output from a pair of freshly charged batteries.
they just aren't "Stacked" one on top of the other.
This is my assumption, correct me if I am wrong.
Vvpv is a stacked design, but absolutely not a tube mod, from a gross perspective it would be called a box mod. It doesn't have a possible pressure cylinder. The battery compartment is open at the top and bottom to the bottle compartment, there is a very obvious lateral vent path.
