Something New This Way Comes....MEGALODON

[smokindeuce]

True, I'm using my 6V Mako with HV Atties and it's working great. It was blowing standard atties before but now I've got it down.

Well, come on spread a few beans then.


Hope it all runs smoothly and comes out on schedule. You've got me all excited now.

Oh, forgot to mention, it's great to have my Mako running again. Thanks again for the new thread.

I'll spread a few beans soon - the first update will be something telescopic.... well kind of....

Well we had a few more design alterations/setbacks to deal with today before starting the manufacturing process early next week.

From then it will take anywhere between 3-6 weeks but rest assured that the setbacks will stand the final product in good stead....

Thanks Tim! Do I remember correctly that it will be possible to purchase the Megalodon sleeve to use with parts (switch, adapters, 5V batteries) from a Mako kit? And if so, when that might happen and what the price might be?

Thanks!

They will be compatible, but if you intend using different sized batteries we have come up with a much simpler solution for the Don which negates the need for the floating atomiser connection, and/or o-rings.

It will allow for internal adjustments according to battery length and the switch throw will also be fully adjustable.

Still not 100% sure on the price for only the don sleeves, but I would imagine somewhere between £25-£30 although we will try to get the price down further if we can.

Sounds great, can't wait!

Thank you for your interest Jay.

It's been about 5 weeks--any word on the release?

Sorry, I don't think I can wait any longer. I need a good 18650 unit and the Don is taking too long.

 

[smokindeuce]

We've had various delays with last minute changes and whatnot but still on schedule for Don being available at the end of September/October.

Thanks for your patience guys!

Should have a new vid out soon also...

 

[Jackal3]

After watching the video, and reading your, uh, clues... No doubt you've got one heck of a universal mod here.
Any clue on pricing? Am I going to have to take out a second mortgage or just sell one of my kids? Cause there's not much resale value in my kids.

 

[smokindeuce]

Hi Jackal!

Why not we strike up a deal - I could do with a extra pair of hands to help with order packing at SmokeJuice HQ.... what say we do a direct swap - a Don for your kid we'll go halves on the shipping.... dooh I forgot we're not in the dark ages anymore lol

But seriously, the cost shouldn't be too bad - I mean it will cost a little more than the Mako because of extra machined parts, but we will do a bare bones kits for those of you already with batteries/atomisers etc.

 

[Jackal3]

No, seriously, my kids are all adults now (or so they tell me). You can have the pick of the litter. Surely one of the kids must be equal value to a 'don'. I'll give you their address, cause it'll be "local pick up only". I'm not trying to crate ship them... I like my fingers.

 

[smokindeuce]

Put like that you've got yourself a deal my friend!

P.S. Save your fingers - you could always dropship them...

Just make sure that if flooding happens, it will not seep into the battery compartment as the makos'.. I am having this issue now. Any kind souls knows how to prevent it from seeping into the batt compartment..?

Hi Jay,

Sorry to hear you've had this problem.... the only thing I could suggest is try not to flood your atomiser with too much liquid so 2 drops whenever vapour diminishes should do the trick.

We have a new system in place for the Don/Mako V2 which should eliminate this altogether even if the atomiser does get flooded and will add further benefits such as an adjustable switch throw and a new solution for discrepancies in battery sizes.

 

[icemangrafx]

OK..that's good to hear but when will it be available...?

Just had another delay relayed to me today about threads not matching up on the Don so they're going over them all again.... at this rate hopefully in the next two weeks bearing in mind we've still got to get the units engraved and assembled.

 

[icemangrafx]

They will be in stainless steel,right?
