I'm sure what you saw was their program to machine stainless steel, which is harder than brass. So, as brass, it is possible to turn those out faster.

Wow! I definitely see now why you say the body is the hardest/longest part! 7ish minutes for one? If there was even 100 purchased.. that's a 11 hour job easy right there!

Looks so precise and careful... someone did a great job programing that thing!

Yes, but the program was indeed for SS, so that should be more or less an accurate depiction of how long the SS takes. Just like everything else, you program the speed as well for this process. It isn't going faster because the brass is softer, that would make the machine inaccurate to the program... which would be unacceptable for what is most likely at least a 7 figure cost machine.

Unless you were just extrapolating, I don't really see the purpose of your post... I didn't say 100 brass bodies would take that long..

I'm confused.

And that's just the time it takes to do that sides operations, they all still need to be flipped and the bottom end operations need to be done. :)

@David-
What is the total manufacturing time that It will take for one ELA from start to finish?

One also has to figure in prep and assembly, so it's yet to be determined, but i don't think it will be too bad, these are very finely machined as is, which cuts down on the prep work :blink:

Im getting so anxious, I know not how to contain myself. I find myself constantly browsing all my usual sites, getting tempted by PVs and I have to mentally slap myself. I have to calm down and remember I have something better coming soon.

I know exactly what you mean! I look through the classifieds and I think "Man look at all these cool mods!" but then I think "Wait... I spent less than that for something that is going to blow the pants off of them..." That thought is what keeps me from PMing every seller on there. xD

Waiting on a game changing device is hard. -sad face-

I like looking at people's reviews of the P+, that switch is so ****ing cool. Todd was talking about how he can get all the hotspots worked out on a RBA with protected mod at 3.7 volts... put it on the P+ and it immediately pops the coil! xD

Buying the ELA is like buying 680 dollars worth of Super T equipment for 189.99... Sounds like a deal to me! lol

It's funny, I don't give a rodent's posterior about any other mods now... with the possible exception of something nice in a 14500 size. The only things on my wishlist for now is the Vapemate, and some better RBAs to upgrade my cheapies. Oh, and some T-tips and additional batteries. Wonder if I'll ever "break even" with what I would have spent on analogs :)

2.6*365=949*5=4745 (2.6 how many years I have been vaping, 365 days in a year, 5 is the cost of a pack of smokes when I quit.)

Here lately I have been making it a habit of buying mods then selling them, even at a loss. I have 2 mods I will never sell. I diy, and I have a hard time passing up any kind of new rebuildable dripper. Even at what I have spent including my high dollar first ecig. After a little over two and a half years I have not come close to $4,745.00 bucks on gear.

You will save, just give it time. :)
