my voopoo drag just worked out of the box, and worked even better with VCT. plus the pulse box looks smaller/better. I will be buying multiple pulse 80w boxes state side even if they cost more than inboxes from FT
I agree with the comments about the Drag. I have no doubts this will work great out of the box as far as the chip goes. The Gene is a fast, hard-hitting and very simple to operate chip. I don't do TC, but folks who use it with the Gene seem to like it. Out of the box, I'm sure the chip will perform, just like the Drag. I also bought the TOO and the Alpha and the chip in those is great as well.
I went ahead and did a pre-order from Brad's and MyVPro. Got the Seaweed Green from one place and Fantastic Blue from the other. I like the looks of the resin panels, hopefully they look/fit nice in person. Order one of the kits with the bottle, just to see what the VV refill bottle is like. I still think they should have just included the bottle (free) with all of them though. If folks like the bottle they will buy more, and many will never try it now since they have to pay extra for it.
Anyways, I am looking forward to it. I expected a lower price point, but it will probably drop some in a few months after release. I've paid more for 'lesser' mods I'm certain.
Just glad there is a choice of a Gene chip squonker available to us now. I also picked up a number of 20700's to give them a try as well. I'm sure I'll like the chip, if the 510, the box and the panels are up to par, it's still worth the money to me.
