I literally just got off the phone with Hoberto (Hobo Himself). Looks like the Hobo v2 is going to be the next run! I have confirmed that the pin will work with my methods. Now to get through to his distributor..... Not sure if you can tell but I'm psyched! I have wanted one of these since the v1 came out but let it go due to the pin being copper. The V2 is stainless with a copper contact.

I will ask him for a 2.1 pin for you next we speak...

I finally got a response from the distributor and I have 2 SS posts on the way now and a couple of top hats. If everything works out, I suppose I'l;l convert both of mine to BF.

Distributor is emailing quick responses right now if you jump on it.

My wife likes the Red Sky Cruisers and has a couple of them - there is an HD version (heavy duty?) that has 10A springs and switchgear. I have a few of his mods and they are beautifully made.

If you like regulated bottom feeders that are one-offs, worth a look.

BTW - i owe a thanks to Freedog who recommended the CLT atty Chowder sold me. It's fantastic. No sooner have i got it ticking along that v2 is released! smh.

I went with the Plume Veil. Chowder even had said he thought the CLT was the better atty. Next time I'll listen. I really haven't used the PV much.

I ran (and still do) Atomics before, and a week or 2 before i opted for the CLT, i saw a guy locally dripping on a PV and it made clouds for sure, but i just cannot get my head around all the air control options!

What i do like about the CLT is the Helios centre post, i never had anything easier to build on.

I didn't see much difference between the v1 and v2 other than the drip tip that is way too small.

Caveat:

I just got off the phone with the distributor this time. Seems very accommodating. The Hobo is almost a go... By all means send your 2 in ASAP.

What price range are we talking about? $100+?

Would you say the Hobo is better than an Authentic Zenith that comes with a bottom feed center post?

I'm on the list, yay! What else do I need to do?

Wait....

Hahaha!



Edit:
Actually, that's true. When they are in and Chowder has finished the conversion on them, he'll let everyone know. Then you Paypal him and he'll ship to you. Then you'll want to do it all over again!
