Hey, an 8ft parafoil can give you a decent workout in a good breeze. You may want better string than what they send, I doubt they are sending the good stuff...
I have fixed so many thing over the years because of bad caps. From the instrument cluster in the dashboard of my car, to video cards, to my big screen TV. It's amazing how a bad cap can ruin your day.
Had a 2800 MFD 350 WVDC cap in a bank of 18 of them for a ruby rod laser supply give up violently.
That'l make you change your shorts!

I used to work for Westignhouse, meter and relay division. Among other things, like the relay that allegedly caused the "Great NYC blackout", we built power control systems for the NYC subway system which still runs on DC. Anyhow, they were converting from a relay driven system to a solid state system and the power supplies we built converted 125DC to 125AC, pure sine wave AC then rectify that into various DC voltages to run the equipment. Keep in mind this was early solid state and current draw was significant. The supplies were tested with four, four thousand watt, load banks. We cooked our lunch on them sometimes. There were a pair of 70,000mfd, 250 volt electrolytic capacitors in those supplies.
They were in a rush and skipped the "wire check" step on a power supply cabinet. It got hooked up to 125VDC with about a 300 amp capacity. The input current pegged the needle and the guy testing it just sat there saying "I wonder why it's drawing so much current?" When the capacitor, which was wired backwards, blew it literally blew a hole in the side wall of the rack cabinet, heavy gauge steel cabinet for harsh environments. Luckily, it blew out the back which was facing a wall. Shrapnel everywhere. Aside from a few bandaid style nicks, no one got hurt but what a commotion afterwards.

The EHPro Bachelor has the same setup. I'm not all that thrilled with it. The width of the coil, or the legs, has to match the width of the holes for the wire and it can be a pain to coil.
Steamcrave is also coming out with a new postless deck design:
Looks like it will fit existing V1/2/Supreme attys

Good thing I've dragged my feet ordering spare decks LoL. Interesting, look forward to hearing reviews.
Sarcasm mode on
Postless?
What a novel concept......
Wonder why some modder on ECF didn't think of that......
Nuppin' else......

Well.... Its not like either of their other 2 decks were extremely original either!
This may help embarrass the FDA, the UK Parliamentary Briefing on E-cigs
Research Briefings - Electronic Cigarettes
There is a full report at the link (pdf)
The key points in this briefing:
No doubt you made the right choice in 1776, not so much recently, not meant as a slur on your great country we have made some bad choices here recently, but at least the big house are being more objective on e-cigs and your lot can't brush that off as tobacco interests.
Research Briefings - Electronic Cigarettes
There is a full report at the link (pdf)
The key points in this briefing:
- A growing body of evidence shows that e-cigarettes are much less harmful than tobacco.
- There is evidence showing that e-cigarettes can help smokers quit tobacco.
- Current evidence suggests that e-cigarettes do not encourage tobacco smoking among non-smokers or children.
- Public perceptions of harm are changing: 25% of the UK public think that e-cigarettes present a risk of harm similar to that of tobacco smoking, compared with 7% in 2013.

It might be my imagination but between the Allen key head recess & the necessary threading that really looks like it forces the trap holes much more inward limiting build size over a standard velocity deck (unless you loop the trap wire legs back under the coil).
Limits you to horizontal builds if you don't want the long vertical leg.

Strange for sure? Isn't that stat backwards? I would think more people today would be aware that Ecigs are less harmful than in 2013.
I personally don't like the postles decks
The coil leads have to be pre trimed ahead of tightening.IMO you can't beat the velocity deck, Stop trying to reinvent the wheel
The effect of the lies and propaganda, I read that as they know they need to reassure people to counter act the false perception.strange

I don't know if those decks are any good or not, but it's something different for sure. If we stopped trying new things we wouldn't have the DNA's and other great stuff we do today.
