    Introducing Futura - The Modular DNA 20 APV by NexgenVapor[ISSUE]

    I understand your (and everyone else's) frustration, and believe me, we're just as concerned about time frames. The problem is, and I'm sure it's not unique to us, that we rely on others to provide accurate delivery estimates for parts and supplies. Unfortunately, these aren't always reliable...

    On the contrary, no one's every annoyed me on this forum. Well, ok, I take that back - one person, but I'm assuming he's an anomaly. But seriously, we want a review asap too. Hopefully good for business and the frayed nerves of all concerned.

    Well, that seems like a pretty good review to me: "They both work just fine." Glad that's out of the way! :)

    Unfortunately life doesn't always play out the way we hope. This is our first commercial venture in manufacturing so of course we made all the usual timing errors - logistics is a... female canine. Some of our 3rd party providers aren't quite as motivated as we are, which is incomprehensible to...

    I do understand, so I'm going to shoot a quick one tomorrow at the shop - probably just a phone thing, but it'll show the whole operation in action.

    Wow, you must be psychic! I'm not gonna say all these things are coming (they may be), but some of them certainly are. First, though, we'd like to get the current Futuras out and into your hands. Meanwhile, here are some shop pics - just to prove we're hard at work :) From...

    I'm gonna try to put a quick video together today - nothing fancy, but just a down 'n dirty demo. I'll also post some shop pics so you can see the manufacturing process in action.

    I just had an email exchange with Phil Busardo - we're #1 on the list so he's anxious to shoot a review asap. We're going to send him a production model since it will represent exactly what all purchasers will receive. He already has a couple of prototypes and he'll probably demo those too...

    The Futura does indeed, and that's why only button top batteries will work. And, guys and gals, please don't attempt to defeat this purpose since we don't warranty against reverse battery damage. Yeah, you know what I mean... :)

    I know! It's great! Everyone should have all the best toys, and as many of each as possible. Thank God vapers (including me) are totally obsessed. :)

    Well, I'm glad you asked. Actually, not so much because I wish I could say we're shipping tomorrow, but it looks more like the end of the week before the first ones will be ready. We had to redo a couple of things that didn't meet our quality expectations, hence the delay. But we're sooooo close...

    Yes, I agree. Let's not degenerate into a "which device is better" coffee klatch. I just wanted to set the record straight on the DNA 20, not bash any other mfgr. or system. Plus, who wants to antagonize Provari owners? I'd like them all to become customers. :)

    Ditto and likewise. I've got a battle scarred Provari too - more like nuclear war scarred. And it works first time, every time. But so does my old prototype Futura, which I've been vaping on for the last 6 months. I've dropped it maybe 6-7,000 times (often on purpose) and it still works as...

    That's good to know, 'cause you'd just have to re-order when the raves start pouring in. For the DNA 20, I mean... :)

    *VW Misinformation* There's a thread going around elsewhere on the forum titled "Prowattie mod....I don't Think So!" Before this misinformation gets out of hand I thought I'd take the opportunity to refute it. Here's the scoop: VW vs VV - The Basics Variable wattage allows the user to set...

    That is correct. But it will be flush with the top cap (except for the contoured one).

    The stainless finish is a paint color. Hard to turn aluminum into actual brushed stainless... :) But the caps are nice and shiny!
