Man, I know shad0w listens and chats during kevbow's show but once again his show wasn't at its slotted time (2pm on a sunday? c'mon kev!).......guess I'll have to go to VapeTV to catch updates.
Hey Drum, are you and I the only ones up in the middle of the night waiting for the ECLIPSE
@LordShad0w on Twitter. Follow me, I put up an update just today.
I spend time on VapeTv. It would be nice if you would come hang out as well, but to each their own.
I am still working hard for all of you. THings are very exciting.![]()
Not being a wise ... or anything so please don't take it the wrong way but twitter, vapetv, facebook, yadayada....what's the difference? What is better about vapetv? I mean, I'm all ears...tried it but...what's the thing. Hang out there or here, or twitter?
I checked out the update, though, on twitter....very good news!!
I gotta tell yeah....feelin' a little snubbed, Shadow....hehe.
seems kind of crazy to have to go all over the place for updates
Sorry if you feel that way. it is definitely not my intent. It is a simple matter of time.
Hopefully you can try to see this from my perspective.
I am INCREDIBLY busy. I work at this non-stop. I do not get breaks or days off. I don't get paid.
I try my best to update but I don't typically have the time to update all the time that I once did.
Twitter is a simple and easy way for me to shoot out a quick little update and keep everyone on the same page.
Logging in to all the forums, backtracking to read up on all the posts and taking the time to answer everything,
while something I LOVE to do for every one of you, is just something that takes me away from the work I have to do.
After all is said and done, I will have more time to go back to being on more with you all and give you the personal attention that you deserve.
For now, this is my situation.
If you prefer to not follow me and get up to the minute info, that is ok.
Just know that you may be waiting a while for me to have time to come in and do things in the way that you are used to.
As to VapeTV, well....
I love the people that spend their time there. There are great shows and equally wonderful and fun to watch hosts.
There is a real sense of caring and community that I have come to value very highly.
There is no drama or arguing or anyone tearing anyone down. Simply people helping each other to learn and share information in real time.
I go there at the end of a long day to decompress and spend time with people who have come to mean very much to me.
I have a show there on Saturday evenings and I try to use that time to answer peoples' questions and give some advice if I am able.
It is also the place that I have been afforded the opportunity to have a dedicated ECLIPSEeq forum just for YOU.
I am still working on populating it so it is not yet live, but my intention was to have a place where you could all share information and your excitement.
A place to give tips and enjoy your next gen ECLIPSEeq devices without anyone trolling or being rude or constantly bickering about "whose is better".
I wanted to give us all a chance to have our own community on our own terms with the ability to ask questions and speak our minds.
If I was wrong to think that anyone would want to come along with me and enjoy something new and unique that was done just for you, then I am sorry. I was running on the assumption that we were also developing a friendship.
This is 100% my fault for making assumptions.
At the end of the day, I am just a guy doing his best to bring you something new that I am proud to have designed and built.
So here is your update, it will be the last for a while:
My feed adapter is now up to my specifications and is running flawlessly. Draw is incredibly smooth and full of flavor without getting juice in my mouth at all.
I am running the newest unoptimized ECLIPSEeq board for debugging and finalization of software implementation.
The USB charging circuit is running perfectly and to my specification.
It seamlessly switches between constant current and constant voltage just as any other charger you would otherwise use.
It stops at exactly 4.2 volts without fail. Charge rate is optimized for the USB 2.0 spec and is fully forward compatible with the newer USB 3.0 spec.
USB charge/vape (PT) mode is also working exactly as intended and without issue.
Reverse polarity protection is fully functional just in case someone inserts a cell backward.
etc. etc. etc.
I am doing everything that needs doing to ensure stringent testing and tight quality control and feature function.
Basically, I am making sure that you get everything I promised you. Thank you for all of your support, it means the world to me.
Take care and best wishes to you all,
- Shad0w
