Qualifications For the ALPHA™ Program & ALL ALPHA Product Discussion HERE- Check Here For New Alpha Products

[dannoman]

If they go good, it will be mainlined...SMOKtech is a supplier who is of course vetted with us and normally we wouldn't ALPHA one of their products but you made a good point earlier in the thread about the first VMaxes that came out were fraught with problems so I thought it might be a good idea to vet this a bit first.

I think what we may do is take entries for a lottery drawing here in this thread. There are alot of ALPHA members who don't participate in discussion as much as the regulars so I would rather see these get in the hands of the 'regulars' in here. What we will probably do is silently announce here in the thread. I can then have you simply like my post when I announce it is time for the drawing. I may put up 8, forego my own unit for ALPHA, send one to chris, yiddle gets one and krystm gets one as he (you) actually also suggested this be alpha'd. So there would be 7 left for random...After my post has been up 24 hours I can then announce who is eligible to buy after I randomize the winners.

<< Entry for Random Name Drawing

or will all those be random to?

Actually how many are in Alpha? Need to calculate some odds here haha.

AND

if they go good will there be more for the rest of the Alpha Dogs or will it go straight to main line?

 

[burns_erin]

I'd like to be in line to test this zmax. Of course I'm the kiss of death to mods, so maybe not a good idea.

What the hey though, if lottery tickets are open throw one my way.

 

[me1969]

And don't forget I said dibs lol.

 

[me1969]

No that is a really good idea put it in the hands of good reveiwers lol I was gonna say that but that would kill my chances

Works for me!

 

[kwalka]

Price point please?

 

[kwalka]

I would be willing to use 1 for 5 days (I dont work, and it wont leave my desk) then review and send it along to the next guy for cost only. Thoughts???

 

[DrOckW]

Kwalka brings up a good point, the price point.

Let us know so we can like accordingly when announced and pay promptly

 

[SolemnPenguin]

I'd like to be in the lottery; but if I get selected give it to yiddleboge6 unless her names gets picked too. Then I'll take it.

 

[dannoman]

One wil be earmarked for yiddle and one for kyrtm...

But the cost will probably be below what it is costing us for the product PLUS shipping, by a few bucks. We will probably look at around $75.00 because most people will also have a 5% discount and maybe even a SuperVIP dealy wheelie. SMOKtech is REALLY high on the wholesale for these.

[kwalka]

This is the 2nd generation of this particular device, correct?

 

[Krystm]

The Zmax? This would be the first Gen I would imagine since it is just being made. Or are you asking about something else?

I thought it was the next after the Vmax

 

[me1969]

But the z max is a vw device there first crack at it .

 

[mattt9998]

I know from following the Vmax owners thread and the Zmax co-op thread that the Zmax looks 100% the same as the Vmax GV is selling at the moment, same blue screen. Only difference is there is a 7th setting in the menu to switch it from VV to VW. If setting the 7th settings of VW to on I am not sure then which setting you use to turn the wattage up or down.

I have had the Vmax rev 4 for about a week. VW is defiantly something I want.... pretty badly, but I will wait for rev 2 as I am sure it will be out fast enough to piss of everyone who buys a rev 1.

I also seem to recall Chris saying the chinese are working on a bunch of different VW type devices....

Yeah I am guessing the Variable Voltage become Variable Wattage when you turn that 7th option on. So its VV or VW not both at the same time. And really it couldn't be. It either has to regulate the power for the desired wattage or voltage for what you set it at and you get whatever wattage your voltage^2 / resistance is.

 

[yiddleboge6]

You didn't think it as relevant?

You did't think it as relevant.

YOU DIDN'T THINK IT AS RELEVANT!!???

lol--just kidding.


Anyway I think the fairest way to distribute the 10 we are getting (well 8 because Chris and I will also be testing these) is to make it a lottery of some sort. I can randomize about 16-20 names (in case someone doesn't want to get it, etc).

They may be in as early as late next week, but can't be sure.

Well actually 7 because I think yiddle suggested this and so we can earmark one for her (you)...
