Man, I do want me one of those beasts. Does Trog have a website, or can you only get it on eBay?

I'm sure the site is mentioned in the video.

Link is in trogs sig. Here's his profile.

Very sweet, thanks spy.

You know, I'm used to the idea of spending only around $50-70 for a kit, but...damn, it seems like this would be worth the investment.

Well after a couple of hours research I decided to bite the bullet. Having lost 1 901 battery and another about to give in I thought WTH.

Great video Dusty! Thats one awesome ecig!!!

it is a nice cig. I think there is a switch issue that needs to be figured out, but it isn't unworkable by any means.

the switch thing is because it's a mechanical switch and not a electronic one like the KB, a mechanical switch wont fail as easily as the 'clicky' type microswitches. It sometimes needs a few jiggly presses to make contact.
I've got into the habit of operating the switch quickly 2 or 3 times before i press to activate/use it

Noticed this myself and found I had to really squeeze at times to get power through. Sometimes a gentle press is enough but not always. I saw this also posted in another SD thread.

With a micro switch you also have the potential for it to be triggered whilst in a pocket though!

I noticed this and thought there was a problem with it and quit using it for awhile. I just figured (and no offense trog) that this was another one that just wasn't standing up (and I will not begin to say that many of those problems weren't more my fault than the device) but I had ordered some extra batteries off ebay and one day this was the only thing I had and figured I would try it out again with a new battery and bingo, it worked like a dream and I have been using it exclusively for several days now. I marked those batteries because even the new ones look just like the ones sent with it and I have the same problems with those batteries. In the time I have been using it consistently again I have not had a single atmozer problem but just those 2 batteries cause me issues. Yeah I am back to some serious vaping again, I was on ecigs alone until the hurricain hit Houston and haven't been able to get my system going again. I even tried to go with the passthrough but for some reason I have problems with it. Not sure if it is just heating things too much ( I am mechanically challenged <dumba$$> so I don't know what the problem is) but even using the same atomizer and the same cart with the same liquid using the passthrough burns my throat. but thankfully the screwdriver is working like a dream.
