The dripper will only be in Z2 for now. I might make a 510 down the road if it's particularly sought after but it's not easy to go 'backwards' to a 510 with something like this. The fat center pin, etc, complicates making it fit in that lil 7mm connector.

I specifically built this so there would be a dripper for the Z2 line since I'm fully adopting the Z2 spec for my future developments.

The Z2 stuff is backwards compatible with 510 by putting a 510 head on it. As I move forward, the next few things I launch will be alternatives to the current line up of "mech tube" bodies and new heads so you have all your options within the system and can distance from the 510 thread in general.

for this first run of stuff, with the dripper specifically, I wanted the thing to look good on an actual Zen thing. I wouldn't have a system to work in without his hard work. I'll have a number of drippers availabel separately for putting on your existing Zen2 devices. it's the same finish that zen uses on his SS tubes and the same knurl pattern he uses on his switches (and head decks now), so it will match perfectly with the existing stuff.

I'll be differentiating more as I move forward, but for this initial launch I wanted to really offer something to the existing Zen user base via the dripper. The tubes and brass switch are just because I couldn't turn down the opportunity to launch something called a Brass Monkey ;)

build number 1: imgur: the simple image sharer

That's the single coil "necktie" style I envisioned for this thing. The wrap of eko around the center post like that gives you a no brainer drip process. Drip through the tip it hits the cap, gravity gets it to your coil every time. also, the arrangement of the wick vertically like that seems to make a pretty big difference on how the vapor behaves, my coil seems to be getting regulated a lot better with airflow and I don't get those harsh tasting bits at the end of a real long hit.

The necktie also forces airflow around a saturated bit of wicking which gives it a little more 'ambient' flavor. I'm diggin it so far! (which is good, since I had 500 of em made lol)

all the gear is on it's way to me now. The launch will be sometime next week.

Initially, I wasn't expecting to get 'all' the gear at the same time so I was going to pre-sale what I did get in the first batch in preparation for the follow up shipments. Since I'm getting the whole shebang at one time, I'm just going to go straight into launch.

Stay tuned, I'll be announcing the launch time about 24 hours in advance. More pictures, videos, and product pages to look at will be coming over the next 4-5 days.

Here's a shot of the first fully assembled CE Link + RDA.

Pictured: Brass SteamMonkey 18650 body. CE Brass SteamMonkey switch, CE Link RDA, and CE Drip tip. That represents what will be the 'most expensive' set up you can get on the store as soon as I launch (aside from the barrel of Monkeys kit which will include that, + the other 2 battery tubes and a CE 510 head).
