    FYI: Small change to the Z2 replacement switches. I"m not getting the aluminum now. Instead, they will be 100% stainless steel. All gold contacts and they're on the way. If you're looking for a replacement switch or just a 'spare' switch for your Z2 these will match up nicely with the...

    I have seen the prototype of the CE drip tip :) I'll post some pics soon. I also might be able to get them coated in the same gunmetal coating I"ll be doing on the CE parts. If that works out, it's gonna be sexy! stay tuned.

    Mornin monkeys, nothin new to report today. I'm hoping to get some good news tonight about the project. For those actually interested in the pre-sale, this is how I plan to handle it. I've got a network of sites that I generally release day to day info on. My blog is one of them (link on my...

    I've got em already ;) everyone that's ever used a Zen device... I seriously ripped it off completely unabashedly.

    That's the plan. There will be little news for the next couple of weeks, things are cranking up at the shop, parts are spinnin and if I'm lucky, I"ll have prototypes in about 2-3 weeks to show off.

    silly update but I changed all my model numbers recently. Nothing dramatic but the new models are like this: Link zBMSwitch = switch Link CE zBMSwitch = CE Switch... Link zBM65T, etc, etc. The 510 head part number hasn't changed, the RDA part number hasn't changed. The "Kits" have changed to...

    Mornin monkeys. Just keeping the thread alive mostly ;) Based on my survey results it looks like the CE pack is going to be going fast so if you want the latest news on when it's hitting, be sure to subscribe here. I'll announce when the presale is going live 24 hours in advance across all my...

    well, I did make a small amount of progress on the custom drip tip from captivape for the CE stuff. It's going to be stainless but we're probably going to be heat treating it to give it a nice dark finish to go with the gunmetal stuff :) It'll be a straight, wide bore drip tip, approximately...

    me neither! lol. The trigger has been pulled on machining, I'm just waiting on the first parts to come off the line so I can get some shots for y'all.

    hrm, with my z2 switch I don't even notice the slight cant to the side like I do with my older switches. It doesn't strike me as an issue and i like the 'soft on' effect that the battery motion and switch design provide. I'm unlikely to change that. With the switch specs I'm using when I push...

    Zen is a master material sourcer.... my brass costs more than his steel. The prices aren't 100% final, there might be a slight dip in a couple of items when I go back for the final pass. The switch is the most expensive part of the device, hands down. it costs almost as much to make as the...

    Within a month or so I"ll have some initial prototypes in hand. I can tell you this though, if you've had a Z2 in your hand, this will feel eerily similar. I've essentially ripped Mike off completely unabashedly. With his permission of course. My tubes will be the exact same dimensions as his...

    A quick break down on my product models. A part looks like this Link zRDAH. Link is the system. Lower case z means Zen2 compatible, RDA is what it is (Rebuildbale dripper) H stands for Head. On the tubes you've got Link z65T, that's a Link system, zen2 compatible, 65milimeter compatible...

    For those that have messaged me here and elsewhere about international availability. I'm starting my international roll out today. I just opened up shipping to canada and will be following it with other english speaking nations over the next 2 months leading up to the Link launch. By the time...

    Here's a little more detail on the dripper. It will essentially look like the top of a Zenesis atomizer with a couple minor changes. 1. There will be a drip well or a "lip" on the deck incase you over drip. 2. The ground screw will be raised up from the deck so you don't have to try to jam...

    gonna be a little bit, still working prototypes but the machines are moving. I'll be posting to this thread with updates so, tag it if you wanna keep up with this. Hopefully those Zenfidels find their way over, I can't post where they hang out ;)
