The video earlier showed the beta in action with audible sound but also you could turn that off. I definitely don't want sound at work or anything but I guess it could be handy at home.
Like you though I'm more wondering about the single button controls. I'm wondering how much of a learning curve there is and how readily available all the "hidden" tricks to the device will be. With only 42 in the first batch there needs to be a very informative manual because it's not going to be like the mass produced chinese products where everyone will have one and be putting up review videos showing all the features.
If it's anything like the crown it'll be pretty simple.
click 4 short times and hold to lock/unlock the ability to change increments...
When locked...you can't accidentally change the watts/volts and it doesn't make sounds (unless the battery gets low and you get the funeral dirge). Other stuff will still work silently (like vaping of course, and changing between VV, VW mode, getting the settings, or resistance to play, etc.)
When unlocked: short click once then hold to raise setting one increment. short click twice then hold to lower setting one increment.
3 short clicks then hold plays short and long tones at various pitches to let you know the setting. I.E. 4 long tones then 3 short tones would be 4.5.
5 short clicks then hold would play the resistance in long/short beeps.
6 short clicks then hold changes mode between VV and VW...it plays tunes to let you know which mode it's in.
It's not that difficult really...most use will rarely see a need to go past 3 or 4 clicks.
