IKV 801 Semi: Poll Request

[Technonut]

I am sad to hear the IKV Semi 801 is on the chopping block to be discontinued... You may have noticed a recent boost in Semi sales Isaac... It's not entirely because of the sale price. Many REO Grand owners are discovering the size and proportion of the Semi is perfect for the Grand, and vapes very well.. Just right.

I like the Mini 801, but have had issues of hot juice sputter / getting into the mouth, and limited choice in drip tips. The Semi just works well, and IMO fills a need with not only the Grand, but other mods..

Would you please run a poll so others may voice their opinion? Perhaps if warranted, you can keep a small supply stocked for us folks that prefer the Semi 801 length over the Mini, and full 801.

It would be sad to have to purchase full sized 801's from you, only to cut them to Semi size with a tubing cutter as another ECF member suggested we may have to resort to...

Thank You For Your Consideration...

Is the Semi the one with the silver band? If so, I like the one you sent me Isaac. It's a pretty decent atty.

I would like to know who started that rumour?

First I heard of it Switched. It's just a rumor though huh?

I think Isaac did say this. I, too, love the size of the semi. I'm going to cut my full size with a tube cutter.

and I can't wait to hear what you think sewn!


LOL Sewn! The full size is supposed to give the vapor a slight cool down before reaching you to minimize TH a bit. The Mini is available in both 2.0LR and 3.5HV. I hear from a trusted source that Healthcabin's 801 drip tips actually fit them. So I want to try it and if it works, source it and discontinue the Semi series. As thier job is just to maker the shortened 801's drip tip compatible. Side note, we're working on custom drip tips
The future of the Mini, is that we're dropping the overall resistance a few notches for the LR series

 

[VaporMadness]

Oooo... dropping the resistance a bit for the LR series... interesting.

 

[5cardstud]

Then they'll be SLR attys.

I enjoy the 2.5 Semi VERY much...

Isaac did say that a short time ago. He was hoping that the Minis will come in 1mm longer and be drip tip compatible . Semis were originally developed to be shorter than a standard 801 yet usable with drip tips. I'm not sure that Isaac ever intended for the Semi to be as long as it actually is...

LOL 5Card! I was thinking XLR but SLR works even better!

That I did good sir and you are certainly right Vladominator the Semi wasn't supposed to be so large.
Also for Techno:
We're actually taking another stab at this and hoping they'll get it right. The Semi is 38mm as the Mini is 31mm. We're going to unite the two to an even 34mm. We have them being made and stamped by their respective numbers of IKV 1.8Ω and IKV 2.5Ω. The reason for the first run to have the low numbers is because they will be stressed to the max and we can better determine the sputter effect. This set will definitely be tested prior to release if all goes successful.

Lots gets said and lots gets missed my friend. I'm always trying to backtrack.

You got a yr. on me. My one yr. comes in 4 days. It seems like a few mo. How time flies when your having fun.

Oh and the Seahawks won the wildcard game.

 

[Iken]

I seen that! What a Great game!! They came out of no where and just Dominated! Totally did NOT see that one coming!
See that?! Going to be a great year! Happy Anniversary!!

 

[5cardstud]

Thanks Isaac. The only thing is they've played like that before but the next tree or four games they play like a highschool team. I don't think they are going any farther.

Thank you for stamping them! I can easily tell the LRs right now, of course, because they're taller but when they're triplets the engraving will sure help. Let me get this straight...you're going to let us have it all, with all being 1.8 and 2.5? Thanks!

Now THAT sounds interesting, and great news... Any ballpark ETA since the Semi is sold-out ATM? Nice you will still be carrying 2.5 ohm also.. I use the 2.5 Semi on the Grand 90% of the time now @ 6v with no burnt taste, excellent flavor, and vapor production.

Thanks Isaac...

Wtg Isaac and 5Card on your incoming vaping BDs. A year for me 2/8 and it seems like I started only yesterday.

Yup! I remember the discussion wrt 34mm. What I would like to see is a standardization of the attys right across the board. If that is possible. 1.8/2, 2.5, 3.5 and 5.2. LR, Std, HV and XHV.
