    Still liking my ProYstick a ton. The Xvostick is still a great mod, but it just can't do what my ProYstick can do. In the end, having both, I can't complain. ;)

    I'm still using it a lot. For whatever reason, I've also found that it is really comfortable in the left hand. I'm using it now with a 26650 battery and wow do those last a good long time. I'm getting almost 40kJ or so on them. If I leave the house, I sometimes switch over to the Xvostick for...

    GEM - RTA by markbugs

    Your post office may be different than mine, but here in Chicago the postal service lies about delivery dates all the time. I think it's their way of pretending that stuff was delivered on time, so the higher ups don't notice. Regardless, every now and then I have to complain about packages that...

    Definitely around the firing button it's more of a curved surface, not the sharp edges shown in the photo. Also, I paid for the highest level of shipping. I thought that would take 7~10 days, but it ended up only taking 2 or 3.

    So pretty much my initial impressions are that I like it, but it's quite a bit different from the Xvostick. 1) It's not the perfect sneak-in-your-hand mod like the Xvostick, but it's also got a 26650 and in my opinion a better chip, so it's going to be larger. 2) I find it more comfortable to...

    Got my ProYstick today. Still getting used to it. I'll post some pictures later.

    Any word on when the ProYStick is going to ship? I haven't received an update and last we heard the shipping date was supposed to be 4/20.

    So has anyone here actually tried the sx pure stuff yet?

    The Erlkönigin : PICTORIAL

    I don't see anything that would indicate that the company has gone under. Rather, with the EU's Tobacco Products Directive limiting tank size to 2ml, it probably means that isn't worth the risk for them to make a v2 that they might not be able to sell in 2016. For example, their most recent...

    Boxer Mod 200W with Evolv DNA200 Temperature Control

    Now you have me wondering about the size of your back pockets . . . Anyway, plastic nylon is pretty durable stuff. Being plastic, it can flex, but it's not going to break easy. For example, plastic nylon is used in all sorts of applications were good strength and resistance to breakage is...

    Boxer Mod 200W with Evolv DNA200 Temperature Control

    I have plastic nylon and Alumylon Boxers, both have held up extremely well. The only thing is that I need to clean them occasionally with a wet sponge. Otherwise, no complaints.

    Evolv sues Joyetech over VW technology !

    Typically they are utility patents, not design patents. A design patent only covers ornamental design of a functional item. For example, the shape and layout of a mod can be protected by a design patent, such as the shape and layout of a vapor flask mod. However, functional improvements can only...

    Evolv sues Joyetech over VW technology !

    I would suggest an intellectual property forum, not a patents form, as both trademarks and patents are important to the industry. Personally, I wouldn't make the focus of such a form about invalidity. Mostly because demonstrating invalidity requires a known patent or patent application and...

    Evolv sues Joyetech over VW technology !

    The tobacco industry does have a lot of patents related to e-cigarettes. Most of it relates to cig-a-likes, so that's likely why you aren't familiar with it. Also, in some ways it covers advanced features that only an integrated product can provide, which isn't the direction that our vaping...

    Evolv sues Joyetech over VW technology !

    Let's assume a $40 profit per board, at 200k units that would mean revenue of 8 million. More than enough to cover a patent lawsuit. Also, they may be hopeful that they can obtain a favorable settlement before the end of discovery, such that their legal expenses aren't as high. Finally, let's...

    Evolv sues Joyetech over VW technology !

    Yeah, I wouldn't expect a quick resolution. Just providing service via the Hague convention on the Chinese companies can take months by itself. From my point of view, Evolv's biggest issue is with proving infringement, because the language I highlighted is a pretty clear disclaimer. Based on...

    Evolv sues Joyetech over VW technology !

    Both possibilities are highly unlikely. Usually only very large companies (e.g., Google) that are routinely involved in patent litigation have patent lawyers on staff. Also, AmLaw 100 firms like Baker & Hostetler typically do not handle contingency cases in patent litigation. Further, when the...

    Evolv sues Joyetech over VW technology !

    There's no such standard. Whether to focus on infringement or invalidity depends on the facts of the case, but Evolv first has to make a plausible argument of infringement. Otherwise, Joyetech can file a motion for summary judgment on non-infringement and prevail. This pretty much puts the...

    Evolv sues Joyetech over VW technology !

    Invalidity is a long way down the road. Before that Evolv has to win on jurisdiction and venue over the Chinese defendants, otherwise their case is probably dead in the water. Further, even if it wins on jurisdiction and venue, obtaining discovery will be costly and difficult for Evolv, given...
