Just some more news from the grapevine.... :)

Hit a few very slight issues that need to be ironed out.... I mean they're really just minor details, but everything of course has to be perfect before we start sending the Mako out. :)

So I'm sorry for another slight setback - I can't imagine it will take long to iron out, but won't speculate until I feel sure we're 100%.

Other than that, rest assured that progress is continually being made to make the Mako better so it's all good news really..... :thumb:

Well I may have to post from the public library soon since I will be homeless, good part is I got a jump start on the beard...IT'S WHAT GOT ME KICKED OUT!

Clean your car window...I work for PV's..:cry:, spare some juice Mr? :p

Haha!! :D

Here, have a dollar,
in fact no brotherman here, have two
Two dollars means a snack for me,
but it means a big deal to you
Be strong, serve God only,
know that if you do, beautiful heaven awaits
That's the poem I wrote for the first time
I saw a man with no clothes, no money, no plate
Mr.Wendal, that's his name,
no one ever knew his name cause he's a no-one
Never thought twice about spending on a ol' bum,
until I had the chance to really get to know one
Now that I know him, to give him money isn't charity
He gives me some knowledge, I buy him some shoes
And to think blacks spend all that money on big colleges,
still most of y'all come out confused

[CHORUS:]
Go ahead, Mr.Wendal (2x)

Mr.Wendal has freedom,
a free that you and I think is dumb
Free to be without the worries of a quick to diss society
for Mr.Wendal's a bum
His only worries are sickness
and an occasional harassment by the police and their chase
Uncivilized we call him,
but I just saw him eat off the food we waste
Civilization, are we really civilized, yes or no ?
Who are we to judge ?
When thousands of innocent men could be brutally enslaved
and killed over a racist grudge
Mr.Wendal has tried to warn us about our ways
but we don't hear him talk
Is it his fault when we've gone too far,
and we got too far, cause on him we walk
Mr.Wendal, a man, a human in flesh,
but not by law
I feed you dignity to stand with pride,
realize that all in all you stand tall


I wonder if Mr Wendal had women issues and a beard? :D

This looks pretty cool. Is this an all mechanical device? Sorry if this has been answered already, I am too lazy to read the entire thread....lol.....

Hey Vapnaway - :)

Thanks for your interest!

Yes the Mako is an all mechanical PV with 3 size options that all utilise the same button/atomiser end caps: minno, midi and maksi (small, medium, large).

Minno: 3.6V 600mah
Midi: 3.6V 900mah/ or 6V
Maksi: 3.6V 1600mah/ or 5V

The button runs on a ball bearing to lock/or engage every 180 degree turn.

The available finishes are either black or clear anodise.

Atomiser options: 901/801/510.

Brass end caps also will be available for some bling. :D

Price although not absolutely 100% will be +/- £60/$100 for a starter kit including one size option, atomiser, one battery option/charger, carts etc.

Phew - I think that just about covers it - any questions, feel free to fire away.... :)

I notice you say 5v... is there a resistor or something? And will there be a bare bones option for those of us with many batteries and atomizers already?

No resistor for 5V, but I can't say anymore at the moment, as details are not completely finalised. ;)

Oh yes, there should be a bare bones kit available too for slightly less than the other option I mentioned. In fact there will probably be a deluxe kit available also with all three size options/batteries/chrgers/ etc etc. :)

So when do you think they will be available? A week, two weeks? And I would probably be interested in the bare bones with all the sleeves.... be sure to make that an option also. Give a guy a break for buying them all at once...lol....

I was also noticing the size of the tube being only 19mm. Now how does that work with a 18mm 1600 mAh batt? Wouldn't that make the wall thickness pretty tight. like .5mm. That seems like it would bend easy.

I do really like the button lock. That is cool.

Everyone grab your beard trimmers, if we don't get a Mako soon...Alex's beard gets it!
Yes I'm talking to you Tim, I'll do it man, don't push me, I'm going CRAZY!
lol.


Guys guys - I'm so sorry but I'm gonna make you happy with what we have been working on for the Mako:

1/ 5 Volt option for Maksi very nearly there - might get Alex to do a video on that soon if he's up for it. :)

2/ Better button action/press. Also button throw is adjustable. :)

3/ Protected 6V option for Midi.... no other CR2 6V mod has this yet and proving quite a chore but worth it - almost there!

Other things that I didn't mention earlier:

All brass inserts for atomiser connection are compatible with any head cap, so instead of buying whole new head cap, just the insert will screw into any head cap. ie. cheaper for end user.

Anodising will be standard on either black or silver options meaning a nice easy-maintenance finish without the need for polishing etc.

Engraving.... a little surprise which I haven't touched on yet, but should have finished photos on thursday. :)

Oh and some other things but hey we've got to have some surprises now haven't we! :p

In the pipe line: a USB attachment coming soon... :D

Now you can't say we haven't been busy!!!!!!!!!!! :D:D:D:p:p

P.S. True you better keep off the beard or Alex's mum will have ya!!! :D:D
