Well I know we are waiting on the E1, E2 and E3 with matching batteries, and the hyper SRT rebuild-able tank. Seeing how reviewers recently got there hands on the SRT tanks maybe its those.

E1 E2 and E3 have been available from other vendors for a fairly long amount of time so not sure if they would alpha them, unless they had changes made to them.

Also waiting on the raven, but seeing how they have been pimping those in a thread in the main GV forum I assume those will be going straight to release for everyone not alpha. Raven must be having issues of some sort as GV was pimping that they would be released soon at the end of June and dead silence since.

I will check tonight if this info hasn't been posted. (Out for Delivery today!)

I just ran my Volt Meter on it. Putting out 3.47 V unfortunatlly I have no way to test under load.

Quasi Review: SOLE
So just to add to it not an official review as I literally just got in. I love the feel of it. The White has almost a rubbery feel to it so it won't slip out of your hand. The size is perfect for in your pocket and the 5 click feature will prevent it from mis fire in the pocket.

As for the bad from what I can see so far.
There are no noted instructions about the 5 click anywhere on the device or packagaing. There are no instructions on changing the tank either.
The Charger pin seems VERY loose and delicate. Not sure how long it will last espically if there are any accidents or anything were to bump it while it is on charge.

I should be fully charged and loaded in an hour it seems from what others are saying so I will use it tonight and take it with me tomorrow and give a full review then.

Quasi Review: VV Rocket
There really isn't much I can say about it that hasn't already been said. It is SUPER Light weight but the voltage seems to be a pretty close match to my Provari. The draw is a little tighter but that may be due to the recessed 510 adapter. Have used it for about 15 min. Other then being Plastic I like it a lot. It also looks like the bottom cap is no longer a wire and has metal that inter locks to the base when put together. No gap on mine and is a good fit.

Very very first impression:

Form factor:

No two ways about it: it's cute - it's downright adorable. :) I really like the combination of this batt and this carto aesthetically. It's sleek, the color (I got the red) is very nice, it has depth and texture to it. And it's not tubular. The downside is that I held other cartos against it to see how it would look, and it looks silly. LOL So it has to be this particular carto, or one with the same shape, with this batt - for me, anyways.

The feel:

As everyone has said, it's small. It's just on the verge of being too small for me, and I don't have very large hands. But that could be an advantage, too, if you want to hide it. :) The oval shape feels very good. Really like that. And finish on the batt is very nice on the skin too - it's not rubberised, but the feel is similar, both silky and non-slip at the same time. The battery is very light - not sure whether that's bad or good. On one hand, it won't stretch out your pocket, on the other it's doesn't feel very solid... It certainly won't tire my hand out. :D I like the button, it feels good under my finger, the positioning is good, and it's clicky.

The mouthpiece of the carto feels good to me, I like whistle-tips, but it does get a bit hot.

Functionality:

Can't say much about the batt yet. I don't think it's regulated, it seems to be giving a bit less power with time, but not too bad. The charging thingie has got to go though. I am not even sure how to set it up once the batt runs out of juice.

There are good and bad points about the carto.

The good is that it vapes quite well. No dry hits in sight. Good vapor and flavor. Maybe a slight off taste - either from wick/filler in the center stem, or something else, but in general, even for a flavor nazi like myself it's very usable. It may get better, too, I'm only half way through the first tank. So that's quite impressive, I'd have nothing against using this carto on regular basis, and I'm extremely picky.

The not-so-good is the construction quality. Both of the ones I got have a crooked stem, so it ends up either not sealed well, or the mouthpiece ends up crooked. The tube is glued to the base (don't like that to begin with), and the glue is not neat at all. The plastic is quite thin. I don't see how it can be reasonably cleaned. Once wet, it won't dry for days and days, and there is no way to tell if it is, in fact, dry. Which makes it pretty much disposable. Considering how no other carto will look reasonably good on this batt, either the quality of this one has to improve, or the price has to be pretty low for it to compensate. I wish it had a lid, too - that would make it much more pocketable for me. I don't like naked cartos in my pocket.

All-in-all, I like it quite a lot, both in looks and functionality - but with a caveat that it's a "light" quality unit, and, I think, needs to be priced accordingly. Just IMHO. I think it can go out into the wild, though. :)

Hey - any more colors in the offing? How about purple? :D

Speaking of colors - ladies, you have got to get the pink Twist, it's soooooo pretty. And the white one is very nice too. Thanks for ordering these, guys! Love them.

Dunno what your talking about he had my orders out well my 2nd one 30 min later. The first one took a day though....

That was a jab at Chris for how long the USPS would take a lot of the time before a package left NYC... Chris and Dan have both been quick to get the packages to post..

Received my Sole elips today and have been using it for a couple hours. Size-its alot smaller than it looks in the pic. Feels good in your hand. For sure, a stealth vape. I like the button. Needs to have some instructions in the box.
The pin battery connection doesn't seem very secure. Its hard to tell if the connector is in far enough. I was afraid to push it for fear of it snapping off.
Easy to fill. I am not impressed with the vapor. Its by far the pv with the weakest amt of vapor that I have tried. Flavor is muted with a plastic taste. Flavor may improve after its broke in a little longer. This is not a pv I would recomend without some improvements.
