Standing buy

 

[AlmightyGod]

The longer you vape, the better you get at standing buy. It becomes a rite of passage. If you haven't waited in line for 3-6 months for a product to go from announcement to beta to production, you're still an amateur!

This is the second line I've been in. The first was for the Darwin, which I discovered about 3-3 1/2 months before release. So do I graduate past amateur status

Al

edit: And I'm mainly in line for the smaller version, which sounds like it might allow the arm on the Darwin to close, so I guess I'll be waiting a while

So waiting for this to come out I picked up a vapage Vmod, still waiting for it to get here but.... should be ere monday ish

I apologize for the delayed update... We've been working on this as much as me and charlie can ... because of our stacked work schedule has been pretty crazy.

We had been looking at doing some re-design of the Surge Tank for easier assembly ... Basically working the kinks out of the design... And been working with our machinist as well on the re-design of a few parts...

Thanks for the update.

It will certainly be great, but I have to disagree with "it doesn't look like a complicated build...."

This is a very sophisticated build, that probably wasn't easy to get into production. I hand built a mock-up based on the concept, and I assure you, this one requires real precision in the design stages.
!

Thank you Zen for your kind comments ... I know you being a machinist yourself how hard this is to build with all machined parts... We're dealing with thousands of an inch clearances ... I want this thing to be rock solid and tight, so they're be reliable and the last thing on our customers mind that will break...

He shouldn't have started the hype so early, but that's water over the dam... give it time... it will be worth it!

I'm at fault at this one because of my excitement ... And the near perfect cad design, I let the cat out of the bag too early... I sincerely apologize

 

[Rippspeed]

As for the update on the OHM ... It will not be ready till Vapefest in Las Vegas ... Thats where I'm pushing Charlie to unveil it then... If we're done with it at Vapefest ... I'll personnally gave away 4 OHM's @ Vapefest in Las Vegas

 

[Rippspeed]

p.s. If you want to kick me in the .... for waiting on the production unit ... I will be @ the SoCal vape meet at Laguna Beach tomorrow... I was hoping Charlie to do some face time but with car-magedon he wont be able to make it ...

Well... I'm a defense analyst that does basement machine shop work as a hobby... I'm not a pro.

As I've said before... The surge tank is a very sophisticated design from a machining perspective. Because there is a coaxial design, with both shells requiring physical contact EVERY time, yet only the outer shell can be threaded, a single thousanth of an inch can make the difference between having an electrical connection or not. With other mods, there can be enough slop to drive a bus through and it will still fire, with the surge tank it needs to be dead solid perfect.

That being said, the design is solid, and it works really really well. The reason I was able to get one running so quickly is because I hand fit and finished every cut, a luxury that can only be performed on manual machines, one part at a time. the demands on a production run built on cnc from cad makes it critical to find the balance within the run-out constraints of the machine.

Not a small task!

Hang in there and be prepared to fire as many machine shops that don't keep their machines tight as is required to get to the market.

Zen...speaking of, how is the new Grizzly working out?

Just plain amazing! I'm in the process of adding flood coolant and digital positioning readout to it, but right out of the crate it ran true enough for precision work... It's an impressive machine tool for a couple grand.

DRO and positioning is the best upgrade there is, imo. Aside from all the obvious smaller mandatory upgrades that make life easier... I have an Enco 13x40 with DRO and it never skips a beat.

Oh, fellow machinists. I got a Southbend 9" with a 3 1/2' Bed.....1937....Look like new.
I gave up on this....I've moved on. I suggest you all do the same.....Save yourselves.
