Steam Monkey announces... The Link: A Zen2 spec product line up.

[millertime660]

so...

I have a number of designs on my table right now. I want to get some consumer feedback on it, but I'm sort of limited in "business related posts" here by ECF (Completely understandable, they've got A LOT of vendors and have to be fair, not complaining here...).

I don't necessarily want to swamp this post with dialogue on future Link products but I do want to get as much consumer feedback as possible on my ideas. Any thoughts on how to accomplish that? I'd like to get a decent sized audience for these questions, and frankly, I don't think 1 thread in this, extremely busy forum, is gonna cut it.

only thing I can think of is Facebook.... bleh

Post what you can on here and keep everyone informed. It's your thread so don't feel that you are swamping the thread. We like that you are keeping us informed so keep it up. Myself and a few others would be happy to beta test.

I totally agree with doats.... Your enthusiastic and informative posts are what I love about this thread. You also really keep us up to date on the production. I am sure im not the only one that appreciates that!!!

so yea..... about those beta testers!

 

[Wingnut73]

Totally agree with doats and miller. I check this thread multiple times a day for your updates on the link and appreciate you letting us in on what's happening.

I'm down for beta testing!! Did I miss that list? Lol

 

[Lance_Wallen]

well, maybe I"ll hold off until the launch, once that is handled, I'll use the thread to get some market research done.

Hey look, a switch...

[Lance_Wallen]

so, items are starting to trickle in, I've got a buncha brass switches and brass tubes. Gotta clean em up a lil bit and package em.

brass tarnishes, that's just a reality of the metal, but I'm gonna clean em up all nice and wrap em in bubble wrap and jam em in a plastic tube for you guys.

 

[millertime660]

sounds good to me! switch looks awesome

 

[Lance_Wallen]

I think I mentioned this before, but I was just thinking about buying a Zen gunmetal set up.

I'm gunmetal coating the 'body' of my switch and all my heads, plus I'm getting a custom drip tip gunmetal coated. If I had a zen switch, one of my CE switches and a zen tube with one of my heads and drip tip, I could take apart the switches and use the button from zens, the body from mine, his tube, my head and drip tip, and have a full gunmetal coated device ^_^

now you need to have a brass switch housing made!

.... oh and a brass dripper

 

[Lance_Wallen]

brass + juice = bad.

The parts that touch mouth and juice will always be surgical stainless or high grade aluminum.

Also, the male threads and brass, probably wouldn't get along too well, brass is nice, but it's a 'little' soft.

I have a brass dripper and love it. There has been some research done on it and I came to the conclusion that it is harmless. A lot of people would shy away from it though so I understand!

Nice! The time is drawing near. Can't wait!!!!!

I would love to get in on the CE Complete, what I'm picturing in my head is awesome!

 

[Lance_Wallen]

well, hopefully I'll have some more news tonight, talking with the machinist again tonight get some numbers and schedule stuff down.

I threw up another thread, specifically for community feedback on what YOU would like to see come out for the Z2 system.

http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...-do-you-wanna-see-z2-system.html#post10388802

please, tell your fellow APV fans, get em engaged. This system represents an opportunity to create an entirely new type of PV, a fully modular, cross compatible, cross vendor system that has well defined specifications for creation. It can only get better from here with adoption. I'm pushing it on my end, but I promise, if interest is shown, more manufacturers will jump on board and we'll be able to really make an impact on the market.

Great idea!

So lance how does the finish look on the brass after in use for a while? Any more pics for us?

 

[Lance_Wallen]

the brass tarnishes up nice and smokey. I've got more parts coming this week and next week, i'm waiting until I get some of 'my' heads so I can take some full set pictures.

 

[millertime660]

this needs to be bumped! happy friday peeps

 

[Lance_Wallen]

I have begun making packaging for all the parts. I decided they'll be packaged in individual parts instead of 'whole devices' I'll still list some as whole PVs but I'm not gonna do special packaging.

Gotta get all my tubes and stuff processed and labeled, then I need to try to make some special stands for the Barrel of Monkeys edition.

 

[hellasupreme]

cant wait!

 

[Lance_Wallen]

I can't wait either! I'm dying to play with this thing after months of talking about it lol.
