Imeo;
When you make the VV device I would pay more and wait longer to have the "To my good friend Chris" put on it like we talked about before. Not sure why some folks didn't like the inscription. I think it's really cool. I've commissioned a few custom pieces to be made for me over the years and always insisted that the creator sign the work somewhere on it, even if it couldn't be seen. I really like real wood, real leather, and hand made things that aren't "mass produced" but more hand made by an artisan, especially if I knew that artisan's "history", as I have come to know yours through the forum and your videos. Fit and finish, that is where the secret lies.
I have a Provari and a Darwin and both are loaded with features. Can you start a thread on the up and coming VV device and tell us some of the features you have in mind for it? I would love to have your VV blow the Provari and Darwin out of the water. My Vari and Darwin would go on the classifieds real quick!!
On a side note, my wife and I are planning a trip to the Athens Greece area in the next year or so, maybe two, and I'd love to take you, your wife and your adorable daughter out to dinner.
