Hi David,

Well, you have done it again. It looks fantastic and that top switch sounds great. Adding the safety switch was a good call.

I personally think that something that big should have an option for an 801 top of some sort, because with all that battery power you could run those like a champ.

I still find myself using the Super Six 801 more than either precise 16340 or 10440, because (when air draw is clear) it delivers astonishingly big full hits.

Am I the only one who likes 801's anymore? They have their good points, like not accidentally getting a bunch of nicotine in your mouth because of a slight flood or needing to be refilled quite so often, if one uses carts at all.

On the other hand with that autofeed, refilling will soon be a distant memory for some, won't it?

So, will that multi-adapter be an option for this model? Maybe that would work better than my stock adapters that rob power and seem to make airflow weird.

LR801 is my favorite atty. I just like how they hit best of all and the long lasting carts are a bonus... the leaky'ness and slightly more awkward size is not such a great bonus... but i really like how they hit.

I've never tried a std resistance penstyle atty, just the 2 ohm'ers. I find std resistance stuff at 3.7 kind of frustrating, always wanting more but never getting it.

Anyway... +1 801

One thing that occurs to me is that with such a large area open to the batteries in this mod, the problem of leakage that you just mentioned with 801's could be more of a concern.

I like the bold design and improved grip of the slots, but a short caused by liquid, especially with stacked batteries, might be a concern here, compared to the risk of traditional Super T vents.

One thing that occurred to me was the idea of a breathable plastic sleeve inside the mod that would allow outgassing through the vents, but would minimize liquid getting in. We see materials like this all the time in outerwear.

Of course it's not just eliquid, sweat, or rain that we should worry about. This PV has a top switch, so there won't be a cleaning issue there, but lint and dust could get into this unit more than most others. That's a second problem that the fabric sleeve would solve, as long as it does not interfere with the drop in metal sleeve.

Hey, it was just a thought.

Yep I will second that the finish on my Precise is still exactly as it came to me with only a few very minor surface scratches; which is normal for me being a welder it gets slightly abused with the environment I work. Owning many aluminum mods I can say without a doubt that I will NEVER own another aluminum mod. For something that I carry around with me daily it HAS to be durable. Who has time to polish their e-cig every few days? Like BrockJ just said "Drop batt and go..." period.

I breathable sleeve would be pretty cool:) As far as juice leakage, i'm not too concerned as this mod uses a sealed safechemistry battery with no protection circuit to short out. Same when using lifepo's battries stacked as they don't have a protection circuit to short out. Cleaning it will be a breeze, just wash it out with soap and water:)

So you won't be interested in my anodized aluminum box mod with juice feeder and variable voltage? It will have a stainless steel atomizer connection though for durability of course:)

Now anodized sounds good. What colors do you plan to do? I might be interested in a black one or maybe blue. So is this juice feeder design built into the box or is it going to be one of the bottle inside the box design? I have one like that already (UMP). Variable voltage huh???? Touch sensor also? LED?

It may have a juice resovoir inside the mod, but keep in mind, it won't be the same, what i consider to be ineffective, designs currently on the market, such as bottom feed. It will be a truly integrated system with machined in passages and what not;-)

Just curious why do you feel bottom feeders are ineffective? Every reviewer of the Journeyman has raved about bottom feeding method and sworn that it is the way to go? I'm interested in buying a JM or Ali should I reconsider?? Is there a serious design flaw in the bottom feeder method that I or reviewers don't know about?

I just believe i've come up with a much more effective, integrated and proficient juice feeder design then what is currently on the market. When bottom feed systems are about the only thing on the market, there's not too much to compare to. The complaints i've read on various bottom feed mods is: Changing the bottles is a pain, juice leaking back into the bottle and contaminating it, leaking esp at the atomizer and where the bottle screws in and the needle, gurgling sounds from sucking the juice, juice in the mouth from sucking up juice through the bottom of the atomizer etc.
