Prodigy/USBpass/Protégé Update -- 7/22/09

[CaSHMeRe]

Thought it was important to start a thread for this so ... here we go.

Prodigy --
Parts are now being run out in segments of 500. Doing this because our mold for rubber housings is due in Monday/Tuesday of next week so we are preparing all material for that 500 pcs. This includes contact posts, all brass, all aluminum, etc, etc ... So, likely NO Prodigy's will be shipping the rest of this week. Momentum will pick back up early next week, and should not only be caught up, but stock will likely be on hand.

PS USBpass PT --
Same ... Parts are being run out due to the mold for rubber housings. We have roughly 75-100 prepared waiting on aluminum adapters that will be shipping either the end of this week or early next week. We will then be producing in larger quantities.

Protégé --
Once caught up on Prodigy's and PT's with both on hand and in stock, the Protégé will be released for Pre-Order, with an expected completion of roughly 2 weeks after the initial release.

Thats where we stand guys ....

radical , want the Protégé pretty bad at this point

Hmm... I've started thinking about a Protégé, too. Some delicate flavors, like from that tailpipin' guy, get masked using the Prodigy. In fact, I just changed back to a 801 battery because I wanted to vape some cuban apple coke vanilla grape crazy flavor. (Yes, they do all taste good mixed together.) But... I could get the switch and other battery for the Prodigy and they wouldn't take long to change... I have to think about this some more.

Bummer..I got my hopes all up the way you guys were pumping out 100 Prodigy's every other day or so...hehe! (Only 65 away from mine at last count)

Ahh well, at least I know it's coming, and when it does I'll have the best vaping setup out there!

It's amazing how I went from completely satisfied with my vaping experience to finding almost every drag from my 901 to be lacking in some way that "when I get my Prodigy..." will fix LOL

LOL ....

The main hold up for us were the plastic housings and how intricate they were (would take 7-8 minutes per piece to make). We outsourced to another USA company to now have these made (the switch housings) out of rubber. If all goes well, we may eventually make the button and button housings out of rubber, but for now, simply the switch housings You won't notice a difference guys ... LOL

An American-made atty is good ... a juice injection system* even better!

* "juice injection system" (aka juice pump), but I just like the sound of it.
​

Incorporating concepts like MoonMan's UPAC, Spikey's ProdigyCompanion, and/or tinear's Fang. [And make sure that it is protected (from the FDA).]

Speaking of attys, are Puresmoker's 801 atomizers back in stock? The website now says "Availability: Usually Ships in 24 to 72 Hours."

If so, ship mine (Order#: 17742) already! <-- Goodness! I'm demanding, aren't I? Casey just shipped me a replacement for my squished Delrin 801 adapter. Gift horse in the mouth and all that.

 

[CaSHMeRe]

DonBold ....

Yes, 801 atty's are in stock. I keep the window for 24-72 hours on all in stock items If out of stock, you won't be able to add to your cart Shoot Casey an email re: your order !!!! she should be able to help out!

[CJsKee]

Well I guess good for us that you are manning the ship - too bad for you that you did not get a much deserved couple of days off
