Just to add a bit of info without getting involved in any good v evil debate, I managed to borrow a bulldozer last week and dug John out from under a mountain of work at Intellicig on Sunday morning at 6am!! The place has changed from a busy office and warehouse into what looked like Santa's workshop with people all over the place
vaping and packing and
vaping!!
I asked about the Pilot batteries and was told that they might well be copies of the original EVO battery as that is what the Chinese do a lot of, no surprise there. The programming is done at source and once the microprocessor is programmed it cannot be changed, unlike many car ECUs etc. Reprogramming can cost several thousand pounds so it has to be right first time to avoid a big expensive mistake. It's not just the cut off but the whole performance that is controlled and optimised by the programming and Intellicig spent 2 months working on that aspect alone. It might not be perfect but judging by the volume of sales it is one of the best performers.
There are a lot of changes in the pipeline and Intellicig seem to be keeping pace in what is still a volatile business. For those asking about US suppliers, there is a list on their website of approved distributers with more coming as import/export details are finalised. I saw sites from Greece, Poland, Romania and Bulgaria as well as the US.
As for John, he's busy catching up on calls and emails but waved and smiled as always.
Anyway, now I'm off to the garage to emulate Scott's blinger!
