Have you tried calling? That's how Jay suggested we contact them if we need support. Trust me, I want my GLV3 as bad or more than the next guy, but we all new we were pre-ordering a product that hadn't even hit production yet. He told everyone the pre-order would go on for 2-3 weeks or until they sell out the 60 available devices. It looks like neither of those have happened yet. It's a process and it takes time. And ultimately, I don't want the process rushed anyway. That's where quality starts to slip. You want instant gratification? There's probably a kiosk at your local mall that will gladly sell you a p.o.s. starter kit that you can walk away with today.

Not trying to lash out at anyone, but the lack of patience is wearing on me.

Dont need instant gratification - I have every other top end mod for that, - an update post on the forum which feeds the supply is all I was hinting at. Doesn't seem like a big ask - y'know, to spend all of 10 seconds banging out a quick "hey guys, this is what's happening" post. Would have thought having a couple hundred bucks in the bank for every pre-order might be worth it? But seriously, take a valium Oh yeah - dont assume everyone here is American btw (hence the whole "location thing", yeah).

I didn't assume anything about your location. Nor did I really intend for you to actually run to the mall for an e-cig starter kit complete with 5 disgusting cartridges. I'm sure 99.9% of the ECF crowd knows better than that. It was a little thing we here in the states call sarcasm. Like I said, that post wasn't aimed directly at you, but there are several threads on the GLV3 and there is a lot of impatience being exercised on them. I'm sure when there are significant updates to share, Jay will take the time to do so. We are still within the time frame originally given to us (2-3 week pre-order period before production even begins) so there is no need to be demanding daily updates.

I'd like to apologize if I offended you directly, as that wasn't my intention. Just simply stating that a little exercise in patience will do us all well. For the sake of the thread, you're welcome to PM me with any other comments.

From my conversation with Sara the other day, I think an update is coming soon, on what I do not know, but some type of update. I know Jay is working as fast as he can on these. I'm just glad I was able to get in on this first run! I have my other bottom feeders and my GLV Super Mini to keep me going until then.

we all know what pre order is like..basically, it is lots of waiting...something we know before ordering...but as i see it if you put in a pre order it's a pv you REALLY REALLY want..so the waiting game is part of the fun...we all get to chat about it and count down the days..and in the end you have a product that was worth the wait..:)

I agree Debb and honestly I'm not worried about updates that much. I would rather Jay be working on getting these to production than coming on here. I know he will update as time permits and when significant strides are made. He always has and I feel he will continue to do so.

New to GLV here --- can you tell me more about this? Are you getting both caps for the "regular" or both caps for the "mini"? Or, can you point to me to a thread that tells me more. I was under assumption that the regulator on the "regular" was only for 5vt.

emailing also works if you have questions ... I have emailed twice, and had a response immediately both times. I added a 5V head cap to my order and all questions were answered!

Thanks Mrs. Sara!!

I am going to hope someone else can answer questions for you. I am new to GLV also, but I can tell you that I ordered the regular GLV3. I ordered a 3.7V, and added a 5V head cap so I could use it with both. My understanding is that the 5V adjusts to the ohm rating of the atty or carto you put on it, but I use a lot of the plastic carto's and didn't know if the carto's I use would work very well with it. As far as more info ... you will probably have to ask some of the pro's.

Not a GLV pro but I know a little about a little with electronics. Having both the resisted and unresisted caps would just give you the option to run a standard GLV in the following ways; 3.7v, 5v, and 6+ish volts, depending on the batteries that you use. Assuming that you also had a few different tubes, i.e. the standard, mini, and supermini you would have even more options. You would only need both caps when using the standard tube. Having the resisted cap allows you to use two 3.7 batteries in series so you only have to buy one type of batteries. I think. I am not sure on the actual demensions of the tube but I know that there are mods that stack two 3.7 batteries and then use a variable regulator to control the actual throughput voltage. Obviously if you have two 3.7v bats stacked on the standard cap you'd be pushing 7.4v and that's not the best place to have an atty or carto. Hope this cleared things up a bit.
