I'm ln line to get a production version, but not a beta.

Got the VV Grand in from Reo himself, and oh my Gawd, it is gorgeous! Already had my batteries charged....Let Sterno have first shot at assembling it and filling it, and the first vape.

Admiring the setup for a full minute (matches the BFF perfectly) he took a long slow, Vapezilla drag and filled the inside of my car up with vapor. Looking at it again, he made his pronouncement: "........"

I couldn't agree with him more.

Then oxidized a ss mesh wick and gave it a few extra coils for some HV goodness. Coils take a bit of break in on rebuildables, but so far I'm happy with the clean fresh taste of the juice.

I'd like to write more, and post some pictures, but I'm too happy vaping!

So, you can go there to ask when it will be done, what design, estimated price, and etc.

Another non-FB guy here, please keep us updated here if you can!

For what it's worth, I like Chalice #2 best.

 

[kazz63758]

I agree #2 is my favorite. (from another FB non-entity)

 

[hildicat]

Number 2 FTW.

 

[pianoguy]

Mrs. Pianoguy and I both vote #2

BTW, thanks for posting the pics, roxxette!

Loving the oxidized ss mesh wick on the VV Grand and the BFF. So far, besides tasting everything in your juice, the advantage of the oxidized ss mesh wick is that it doesn't seem to need replacing as often as silica, as that's the part that seems to fail first on my conventional coils.

This combo seems to require at least a couple of hours of seasoning to get to its full potential.

Using a thicker VG mixture (AVEjuice havana cigar plus some turkish blend) on this bottle, and the thicker blends seem to take a bit of a longer squeeze to make it to the atty. Think I may prefer this combo, since the thicker juice tends to want to stay on the bottom of the mod longer than PG...longer, but less frequent squeezes.

I am throughly enjoying this mod combo, perhaps more than any other one that I have ever tried in my 2 1/2 years of vaping.

The VV seems to help in determining your draw...longer, slower drags require less voltage, shorter puffs work better with more.

I really gotta ask...is that you in the avatar?

If it's not am I still just as cool? It's the future me...I don't have the $$$$ to pay for that beautiful tattoo yet. I thought you've seen my pic before? I'll PM you!

Interesting little Atty,,, I wonder how Rob the Reo maker is also making out with his Feeding Atomizer for the Reo's, he's been working on one for all the Reonaults for a while now I believe, It's supposed to be very reasonably priced as well. Is there any price on this one yet ??? and when is this one supposed to be available ???

I do not think Markbug has announced a date yet, I guess it wont go into production until the facebook voting ends. I am kind of bummed because my choice is not doing very well(option 1, go vote for it!!!) I have a mod coming in June that would look amazin with option 1. The only posting I see Markbugs make is in the wizard thread so check there for updates. He may open another thread when it becomes available though. Also since the Mark-T is sold by Cloud9 there is a chance you might get info in that sub.

I'm kind of pulling for option #3 myself. But no matter which one it ends up being, I want it!!

 

[davelog]

...so 2 is winning?

...so 2 is winning?

2 or 3 is good by me just please not the #1

 

[davelog]

I'm firmly in the camp of 'whatever it looks like', but if I had my druthers it'd be #2. My only requirement is that it be MINE.

 

[clyde2801]

Been informed that the Chalice is already in production, they're starting with the bases (which is interchangeable with all three designs). The first batch is expected to be ready by the end of June if all goes well.

They may release and distribute the Chalice themselves on an english version of their website by that time. No word on what the price is, but my guess is that it will be close to what the Mark T Infinity sells for, 150 USD.

I'm also guessing the self release will keep the price as low as possible, so the product won't be taxed twice (first by the manufacturer's country, and then by the distributor's).

And I'm thinking that I'll put some other mods up for sale so I can grab another one of these as a backup...keep an eye on the classifieds.

Clyde i take option #2 was the winner ?
