There are dual 18650 mods in use and working with the balance charger. The firmware update that supports it is available and a wiring schematic has been posted to use the balance charger. What evolv will be releasing is a add-on chip that prevents reverse battery installation errors/damage. If you are sane with your battery install, then you can have one today.

I know I have 2 that I made with dual 18650. I'm referring to the cloud maker dual 18650 option.

I started this thread in May and we still have don't have the Whiteout available :-x All the adds about Expect Us 07/01/2015 and here it is last day of October and Cloudmaker still don't have one for sale :facepalm: Seems like these guys are about as slow as ipv and Gearbest. According to their site they were gonna ship in October and still it says Pre-Order on their site.

I think what Cloudmaker meant by future proof is there is not any proof this thing is being released in the near future.
I pulled my preorder a few months ago, well partly due to my wife finding out. I've only heard bits and pieces over time and haven't seen either of the "owners" much on ECR anymore. For those who are still holding on I hope beyond hope this doesn't turn out to be like Pegasus's bull.....

They're site/blog section is a lot of talk, few videos and pictures. It is coming along apparently. I don't have an order in at all, I'm glad I decided to wait till the first batch started to hit consumers. But seeing as all of this delay may just keep going, I've decided to say **** it, I'm gonna preorder a Reuleux. Atleast I know JayBo Designs & Wismec are physically producing products and have started to get them in reviewers hands already.
As for CloudMaker Tech, as of the 29th, this is where they claim to be: https://cloudmakertech.com/production-update-21/
Shipment of the first batch to consumers scheduled for mod-November

I think they have spent more time on their bullschit blog and videos then they have making the mod and getting it into consumers hands.

I was looking at this months ago and there was a lot of buzz and they were busy on social media and it all sounded great and that's when I lost interest I know it sounds stupid but I just got a gut feeling (if it sounds too go to be true it usually is) this wasn't going to be all it was being made out to be as quick as we were getting told. Despite that I'm not happy this seems to be going bad as I know a couple of people who still have them on pre order and are determined to hold out and I do think it will happen I'm just not sure the final product will be everything it once seemed it would be. I really hope for everyone that showed faith in these guys you get your mod and it's perfectly working and problem free I hope that's why they are missing deadlines as people's faith needs reward these days.

I think they are behind in the grand scheme of things. Look at everything that has came out while everyone has waited countless DNA 200 devices Vaporshark, Lavabox, VT200, Jaybo/Wisemec will be out soon, Yihi will soon have their new device out. At first one of the chips, the SX350J was one of their chips they were offering with the DNA200. By the time this thing comes out we will have a SX350J V2 out and probably Sigelei's new 200 watt offering and Innokin's TC mod.

I have a pre order and I'm happy to wait. It's coming soon. They underestimated what it would take to get this mod out and they've had a few hiccups.

Doesn't really matter what has come out since this was first announced this is the first mod that you can change chips/boards easily and not have to buy a whole new mod and know one else is doing that. If the concept works it should be simple to keep up with chip technology and that's what sold it to me.

I backed out of my Whiteout pre-order last month. Far too many delays. For a group based out of SF, how could they not have any Chinese friends to inform them of the week-long National Day holiday? And what is with the inability to take down the website pre-order notification which effectively ended in late September? Went with a Boxer 133W and could not have been any more satisfied. However, if their Ares OS lives up to the hype, I may revisit their products in the future.

I think this really shows the difference between having a great idea and actually bring a product to market. They are learning I guess but they have made a few serious mistakes with expectation management. I too like the look of the Ares but will wait for something to actually materialise. Good luck to them though!!!

Just dropping a line even though I fell off this bus sometime ago. Has anyone preordered via Smogdistro and do not know the current state of things with him?
I'm not sure if it's ok to place a link here from another site (mods please delete if it's not and my apologies in advance) but it goes towards answering your inquiry. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

Cheers,
Steve

Pretty much what I was going for but alas you've taken care of it. If I'm in the wrong for trying to let others know things have gone completely sour, no harm intended.
