The poll results about all the bells & whistles versus a simple feeder were as close to a 50/50 split as I've ever seen in an on-line poll, especially here at ECF. Manufacturing is a numbers game; the more you can sell the better the price and I have to believe Jay would be able to sell more basic feeders than ones that do everything including feed the baby and spank the wife.

Half the respondents said they'd want the full features but realistically, how many of them would actually be willing to pay what would almost have to be a pretty hefty premium price? Quality isn't cheap.

Personally, I think variable voltage is over-rated, I like simplicity, a 5v GLV hits my sweet spot and I'm quite satisfied with the "current" GLV-3 prototype unit. I'll take two... one Nebula Green and one Matte Black, please.

I must say I'm a bit disappointed compared to the original design with VV and the top feed etc. I passed up all the other feeder mods waiting for what I thought (based upon posts here) the GLV3 would be. I might still buy one depending on the price. If you make the 'original' GLV3 the GLV4 i would be much happier and definitely buy one.

The expensive VV mod is still in the works . Like I said in the video , I have not tossed out the first design. There will be a something done with that design. As of right now A CNC can make only one of the first design pre hour. Until we can get at least 3-4 an hour I have to keep it on hold. I am reworking the design so hang in there.

BTW if anyone has not seen the video http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/greatlakesvapor/172046-glv-ohm-test-video.htm The GLV 5v will use any ohm carto /atty you would like.

I watched it at work but have no audio on my work PC. I guess I will keep hanging in there and wait patiently.

Count me in for one! Gloss black. Consider my check in the mail too.

Polished alum glv-2 with a gloss black feeder....I will literally have to beat the women off of me. More so than usual.

I agree with Quikwgn that the first GLV3 prototype design sure was cool BUT.....this thing retro fits the GLV-2s. How huge is that?? Really.
Everyone who has bought a GLV can now (soon) add a detachable juice feeder to it.

Make the first proto design the GLV-4, add all the bells and whistles, VV, and charge 2 small children for it. Which, BTW, I have a 5 & 7 year old ready to make the move to MI.
(Yea, yea, yea.....up to date on their shots.)

Shoot, lol, I have 5 children, though most are not small, but they're smart and could probably run the CNC so by my calculations... If the cost for the high buck model is 2 small children, I could afford a whole bunch of them considering they could help make said mods, lol :)

But realistically, I'll definitely be in line for one of those bad guys!!

I've sold off my Bombshell, Chuck, Prodigy v3, and my AFS v3. Currently I have my 5v GLV2, 2 VV Buzzes, a 5v Sabertouch(getting sold), a GGTB (getting sold), and my Darwin is on the way. For me it is all about the bells and whistles and I have my $300 saved up for the bad boy GLV that does it all. If you think there are people out there that won't give Jay $300 for a 'spank the wife' GLV I will point you to the waiting list for for the Darwin, GGTS, UFS, REO, etc. A GGTS + UFS is well over $300 and IMHO the specs for the GLV3/4 are far superior.
