We should know a lot more after the beta testers do their reviews, before it goes on sale.
Thats true, I got to use it a vapefest and talk with Mario .... its pretty sweet.
If you put a bad atomizer or carto on a mechanical device in 1/10 of a second your going to have a dead mechanical device.
Likely with a limp spring .... its either fix it yourself or send it back.
If you put a bad atomizer on the Eclipse in 1/100th of a second the device is going to shutdown and give you an error.
Switch attys and your back vaping.
I'll take the techy stuff and keep on vaping thank you.
I'm proudly waiting in line for one.
Yes... this is a good question.
Given the different viscosities available- I would be wondering about pump life.
Unrelated comments:
It's a game changer- assuming this type of technology ends up in "lesser" more compact e-cigs. If it remains only at the high end my interest in it will be minimal.
On the fence as to whether I'll purchase or not. Was very burned by my last expensive purchase.
Call me gun-shy.
While there's no "official statements" on pump life using thicker (read, predominately VG juice), it should handle them.
From what Mario said, 50/50 blends are optimal. You may need to up the pump cycle time for thicker juices.
*ahem*
Right, I own a Reo...which is a fine device. But when compared to the Eclipse, it doesn't compare. The Eclipse won't be for everybody. Those who don't want to mess with technology or advancement or the broad feature set will naturally gravitate towards the Reo line of feeders.
I'm not saying the Reo is a bad device, I own one and use it daily. Check out my review on the Reo if you want the full run down. I have next to no complaint with the device.
But saying the Reo is on the same level as the Eclipse is like saying a 1920's Model T compares to a 2011 Lexus. They are both cars that have wheels, but we're talking two completely different eras.
Basil, I appreciate your videos and your enthusiasm. I found a bit of humor in one of your comments and pointed it out for the lulz, not to make a point about Reo vs. The Eclipse.
I definitely plan on getting an Eclipse and love the video! I will say this, however: that thing is huge and it's a bit masculine looking. WHO CARES....it seems to do all that an ultimate mod should do. I am sure that future models and copycats will adopt changes that may be more streamlined (i.e. smaller/thinner) as with all 1st gen. technology (remember the first cell phones/ipods?).
My hats off to the creators of the Eclipse. We all anxiously await getting those emails that say: COME N GET IT!!!

There are 'highs and lows' related to all consumer goods. sometimes we may pay more for an item because of better quality, brand name, store, etc.
There are expensive automobiles (you know the 'mortgage on wheels'), middle of the road automobiles, entry level and 'buckets'.
Same for PV's. The prices are all over the place (like most things) and there is something in every price category. It's up to individual consumers (in this case vapers) to decide on what they will/will not pay. One thing that drives up the cost of the more expensive pv's is cost of goods to manufacture them/workmanship. As some of the components used to make mods decline in price-so will the cost of the PV. Hopefully.
If not, we all know what we can/cannot afford. And how much we'd like to budget to maintain our individual vapings experiences.
Do wd have any kind of eta on the eclipse being released to the public? Are we talking six weeks or six months?
Michael said it would be 2 months from VapeFest - which would be somewhere around the end of May!
so do the little lights show you whether you are at 4.1 volts or 6.1 volts, or is it just something .1 or something .2. I think I would much rather have a digital display than the lights.
and so everyone knows- electonics do fail. this would be no fault of the manufacturers, just a fact that electronic devices have a tendencie to have issues here and there. I would say that the failure rate on the eclipse would be substantially higher than on a mechanical device. and not that they will all be failure prone, but I would almost guarantee that the failure rate of any decent made mechanical device would be less than even the best made decive with electronic chips inside.

I've tried looking for beta test reveiws and not found any.
Anybody know of any?
If this is due for release next month it would be nice to see some(beta) reveiws.
Also JMO 6 month warrenty is not long enough.

You have the option to purchase entended warranty beyond 6 months.
Also, I do not believe any beta units have gone out to date. I spoke with Michael earlier in the week, and he said everything is still on track for a late May release.

Sorry again JMO but if I was to shell out 250-300 clams I wouldn't want to buy a 6 mo extended wrnty.
Thats (6 mo.) just not a long enough time period. I have reservations about moisture from juice inside the box messing up some electronics.
A release without beta tests.....they do that from overseas and then make revisions.
Someone should put a bug in their ear to get some of those out for testing/reveiws.
They will only sell so many at that price until word of mouth gets the ball rolling.
I will have to sit back and wait 6-12 months for paying beta testers to find out how great it is.
Maybe that price will come down too.
The 4-6 volt thingy bothers me too.....I might want to vape at 3.2, 3.5,3.6,3.7,etc.
I dunno....I don't have much vape experience and may not know what I'm talking about. One of those simple people.

I hear you...it's going to be an expensive device, and you're looking for solid proof that it holds up.
While I am not sure when the beta testers will get devices, I can tell you that the juice bottle/pump is completely separated from the electronics inside the device. This should ensure that juice doesn't leak out onto what makes the Eclipse so great (and so spendy) - the high tech stuff!
As for vaping at the 3.x range, I think you'll find that low 4's to suit you well. If you've been using a battery mod, it will be like having that fresh off the charger battery running for you during the entire use cycle.
Those are good points. May should be an interesting month with this one and another hi-tech PV going to beta. The vaping world is moving fast, that's for sure.
