El Dee I am not going to chase the market sorry ! , Mist I am working on it !

I just watched a video on the new mod coming out with a auto juice feed , MAN that thing is big , it is cool BUT we will see how it holds up over time. The VVPV will have a manual juice feed , I could see this being a problem IF you have arthritis other than that it is bling IMO. and EXPENSIVE bling ! .

Our first goal is COST CONTROL so we can bring an affordable PV to the user.

Well Buzzkiller you asked for opinions...

I watched the video of the new juice feeder too.....That son of a gun is massive and IMO is kind of tricky too operate at best.....Massive isn't in my plans at all...It's just too big...and the reputation of the auto pumps isn't good either...Given my day too day activities pocket carry is an absolute must...Therefore I much prefer a tube mod...I will be having a VVPV though...along with a Buzz Pro..I also understand the "KISS" principle and yes, less is often more...Given the dial adjustment and new battery tech the Pro Series is sure too be a winner...

I did ask Dee !! I like Geeky stuff and tech stuff trust me ! , but in this market being different has its merits , We also were the first to the plate with VV and now it is everywhere .
I have no idea how long we will be in this market , it is super fast moving and is massively copy prone because of no protection at this time , we will see how that works out in the next year ????

For now we will design and produce what we thing is correct for the market , I might be wrong ?? I might be right ?? who knows , I surely do not !

I figure it this way. I got into PV's to get away from smoking. I want a device that achieves that end and makes it the most pleasurable. If I wanted bling I'd get Ipad or cell phone that does everything including sing me to sleep. The more things a PV has on it that are un-necessary the more things that can break down and in the end I'll probably be left with a device that only vapes with broken pumps and meters anyway. The PV's notcig makes are the best in the business IMO.

I've had this sort of conversation with Mod Squad types around here (the same guys, I suspect, that wore pocket protectors, had severe cases of acne and ran the public-address equipment at high school assemblies), and they tend toward controlled rage when I suggest that—in the end—all we're trying to do is heat up a little PG & flavoring. Admittedly, it's cool to see a digital readout of your current voltage output, or an LCD graphic of your remaining battery life, or a Google Maps display of the nearest e-liquid vendor's location; I gotta believe the novelty of that stuff wears off pretty quickly, however—and that for all the noise they generate, the percentage of actual buyers in the crowd of gee-whizzers is relatively small.

Having said that, here's what I wouldn't mind seeing: a PV that measures the resistance of whatever atty is installed, then manipulates the variables to deliver the specific wattage you've keyboarded in as your sweet spot.

Also, generating a GPS signal would be nice, so you could find a lost PV using your smart phone.

After looking at and reading discussion on the fixed wattage thing regarding Ohms , from everything I have tried and tested and read this does NOT really work ! , the main reason it does NOT work is because of the WIDE variation in how an atty/carto vapes even with the SAME ohms rating !! there is a big variation in the wicking from atty to atty etc. and this effects the vape .

I have read this on different forums and posts from owners of these devices that do this , it is a great idea in theory but in practice is does not pan out.

Really being able to easily adjust the setting to make that carto/atty vape at its best is the easiest and best way to do it , Having a ohm meter built in is a nice idea but you have to have a display ! , I looked at having a custom display made at one time , these are cost prohibitive .

This makes total sense to me. You even have atties and cartos out there that aren't the same internal and externally measured resistance. Juices are different, people's techniques are different, etc.

The mod squad can have their flashy techno toys...and they come up with some great ideas over there. But I call em as I see em, and I don't have a case of penis envy over fancy PVs

I bought my first Buzz last July, my second one in Dec. Only because I wanted the 901 end and a back up.
I haven't purchased any other ecigs since using the Buzz, its that good.
Adding the dial adjuster, and increasing battery life are imajor upgrades to the best ecig I've had the pleasure to own.
II guess that makes me a loyal customer, if you keep making them, I'll keep buying them.
Get this Pro upgrade on the market and you WILL get more loyal customers.

Ok, I'm going to throw a curve ball here. I currently have 2 Buzz' and 1 infinity.
I know that I will buy the Pro versions just for the battery life.
The thing I don't like about the Infinity is the wheel.
I tend to fidget with things whilst I work and the wheel is a prime target.
I like that my Buzz can be set and stay that way until I make the effort to change it.
Having said that, my Buzz' (What is the plural? Buzzes?) get used at home and work but the Infinity is my "out and about" vape.
So not interested in the chrome plated grease nipples and overhead underhang offered by the opposition.

In my own personal experience, I've never known the Infinity to reset itself of its own volition; only by a very deliberate action on my part will the wheel rotate to another setting.

I guess you don't "tend to fidget" like MusicBox does huh?

Would a stainless tube be possible?
That would be nice Poppa.

Here comes the truth can you handle it?????

I think you all know who I am...I've supplied support too many of you over time here...I've cruised the forums and pushed many, many people too the NotCigs Forum and the Buzz way of life..I even coined the phrase "Buzz Army"....I've earned my stripes in the "Army"....Sadly this will be my last post on this forum....

A request was made for opinions on how too make a Buzz better....Stupidly I offered one...The only one...Surely it will be better with the addition of a wheel and the new battery tech....Life for the Buzz owner will be easier and cost kept too a minimum...My opinion was met with comments such as "penis envy" and though not directly attacked I feel that it was directed at me...Shot at and missed...Sheet at and HIT!!!!!!!!!! I take this vaping thing seriously...It's saving my life and I will continue too explore any possibility too achieve the best PV available too achieve my goal..I regret offering up my opinion...I can see it wasn't wanted....

Now I was offered a position beta testing the Infinity...Offered...Then a shortage of test units resulted in my offer too back out...Supposedly I was the sixth man and as a loyal supported I backed out...Only one person ever mentioned having a beta Infinity and that was when he tried too sell it for $500...Not one other word was offered by any of the four other beta testers....A promise was made when I backed out that I was on the top of the next list....Frankly I don't believe there is a list....The results speak for themselves....Your reputation has been tarnished and that simply is he truth.....

Now I have stated the facts and they are the facts...Will this remain undeleted...I kind of doubt it. I'm sure the wolves are more than ready too attack and that is fine...Earlier I stated this is my last post and indeed it is...Bottom line I'm a major player in the game of life...My opinion carries weight every where I go...I'm a leader and no follower...That is not going too change...EVER...I see that I've acquired "penis envy" simply by offering up an idea...Recanting that statement will do absolutely no good....If you make a statement then by all means stick with it...I will not beta any products and I will make not further posts in support or detraction of NotCigs products...My stripes are at the door....Good Bye and Good Day....The Evel One....
