Ovale V8
Please note these have BLACK buttons NOT white.
I have KITS and Bodies, in both black and white.
The white one has black buttons.
Ovale V8 is in stock now and I opened one and tested it and I am EXTREMELY excited.
I haven't been this excited about a product in a long time, not after a hands on anyway.
Please keep in mind this is a first impression, just one hour into it.
The heft, it's heavier and bulkier than the V6, it fits my hand absolutely perefectly as the V6 felt dainty.
It seems to be made much better. The black shininess that I thought would turn me off isn't bad and I like it (although it accumulates fingerprints)
The performance:
Better that the Tox (lol)
better than the Lava.
No joke, this is on par with the V6 but with the added ability to go up to 6V in .1 incremetal steps.
This truly is an everyman VV, it's got a low price and performs
very well.
I have a CE3 on it (new product for me, up next) and at 3.3v it hits like a champ!
I am going to put a dual coil 3.0 on it later and see what it does at higher voltages.
If this holds up, doesn't develop any faults after it's broken in then I'd have to say this is the best PV's I ever tried.
I am not going to take one apart but I believe the sides are glued properly, it doesn't sem to have any defects.
The downside:
Getting the batteries in was a pain in the ...., it's a really tight fit for the AW 700's I carry, but it does have a battery pull (the fabric you plce under the battery to pull them out easier)
The battery compartment needs to be both pulled down and pushed in slightly to open. Took me a minute to get it open the first time.
The button, great button but I am not sure if it is me or not, it does not seem to have too much sway, meaning errant side pushes won't fire it, you have to press the center of the button. Not really a downside, just thought I'd throw that out there.

CE3's
Wow, LD and Big D were right, these are really really good!
You have to fill them upside down but that's not a negative really. Flavor is great and the hit is great (especially on a V8)
I realize this all sounds a little "sales pitchy" but believe me. I am impressed by both items I received today!
