Got ENVY ?????????

[908Tracy]

I am looking forward to the eVVo as much as Christmas!!!!

I am looking forward to the eVVo as much as Christmas!!!!

I have LOTS of work and testing to do on it , I have the basic design but there are MANY steps
1. basic look design
2. basic electronics design
3. buy assemble elec. PCB ( make sample PCB , get IC's build and test ) repeat 5 x's while adjusting parts and designs
4. integrate the pcb into the package
5. Beta test the unit and PCB assem.
6 , create a final design
7. order parts , WAIT 4 weeks
8. pre production assembly test
9 . work out any bugs or assembly issues
10. Test it again
11. put them up for sale

this can take 6-10 weeks if everything goes perfect but it never does.

I left out about 5 steps LOL !

Did you get 14xxx that tested okay?

What, that's all? whine, whine whine...

I suppose this means you won't be done by Christmas?

No they sucked like I though they would , so no luck on small batts.

What??? Bah! Just a little super glue, duct tape and bubble gum. It'll be just fine!

He had to pick two of the GOOD, FAST, CHEAP. I'm OK with letting fast go Mike, and engineers ALWASE whine on the non-trivial jobs, it's only with Mike's experience now that he knows this project is "doable". We weren't sure the first LDO VR's in the Buzz would even work over time and use, now THAT was beta testing.

Hey KW !! how are you ?? remember the LDO Beta's LOL !!!
damn things are Brute force devices , and very low failure rate

Ya and you could cook a hot dog wrapped around it while you vaped, but they worked and proved the concept a few of us had been playing with on the bench

LOL I like my hotdogs HOT not luke warm !

 

[kwcharlie]

Ya, the LDO you used didn't get as hot as the 317's flavor chips i was playing with, the old buzz would just warm your hands not cook anything like the stuff i built. It still amazes me how cool the pro chip runs.
those were the days

First bump of the year for this VV.

Standing Buy !!!

Prototype circuit on order , I have the IC parts etc. and basic design , proto tubes and caps on order as well , this one may come together fast ?? or NOT ! LOL !

 

[vaptamist]

Argh! So much want!

 

[BuzzKill]

All I can say ( and I am going to keep this one under wraps SORRY people ) is that it will be much prettier and blinkier ( not really but ) and have new functions in a smaller lower cost package using the same IC controller that works so well and the same batts so a true 15 watt device in a small pretty package with PUNCH ! and a new Display to indicate the set voltage .

Sooo what your really saying is you want my back account number so you can just withdraw my money rather than me having to make a monthly order LMAO..... Oh well guess theres at least 2 more PVs in the future for me....


As far as keeping it under wraps..... Youd be a fool not to. If its new innovation, patent it, then let the cat out of the bag

Dammit Mike!! Do you have any idea how cold it is out on that street corner in a CT winter?!

You have best send me one to review... and beta... and... well... I want one!
