The ALPHA

[noahstudios]

Ok, I literally created an account and have been posting all day *just* so I could post in here because the Alpha has me super interested. I believe you said it has the same sized tube as the BB. If that is in fact the case, does that mean it will accommodate 2 CR2s also? I understand you don't condone stacking batteries, and I completely understand the risks. Though I rock my SB at 6 volts and because of that I won't bother with other mods or modders. You, Chad, make the ony mods I will buy from now on (I tinker with my own amateur stuff, but I'm talking professional grade).

edit: For the record, I'll either be ordering the Omega or pre-ordering the alpha as soon as I hear back about the batteries. So you have a sale either way

edit edit: Sorry for all the edits, but I finally found the Alpha Pre-Order on the site. I'm confused that it says pre-order, but the status is in stock. Any chance you could clarify what that means exactly?

It will take 2 CR2s. It's just tough to find protected ones that will fit properly. The green ones without a brand name on them are the only ones I found. And you have to use a 3.0Ω or greater atty or the pcb will cut them off.

So you are talking about the Alpha specifically? Not the BB? I just want to make sure the BB didn't have just a little extra room that allowed the CR2s to fit, but the Alpha is tighter on the 14500 which eliminates the use of slightly larger CR2s. Thanks.

I'm really hooked on 6 volts, maybe I should just buy an Omega...

Just did my pre-order for a silver vein Alpha. Thanks for making this color an option on the first round, I'm excited to get this mod. We know AltSmoke products are awesome, I don't see this new addition being any less that that.

Keep up the great work!

The depth and bore of the bttery cup is the same on the BB and ALPHA

Pre-ordered mine! When can I start hiding in the weeds to surprise my mailman? April 4th you say?

Thanks Kevbow and nice little mini review, I appreciate it. I wish I couldve made it to vapefest but theres always next year.

Great now that I have spent all my hard earned cash on the baby bills you put it up. Oh well next paycheck.

Looks great btw. If it is half as rock solid as the SB it will be indestructible.

Sold, I'll be pre-ordering a Silver Vein Alpha tonight! Hopefully my girlfriend won't notice. I ended up buying a used indulgence (titanium) off one of my buddies last night for 20 bucks. We all know you can't compare an indulgence to anything Chad makes, but she'll just see that I have too many PVs...

Does that mean the BB pass-through is interchangeable?

Due to the mechanical actuator of the ALPHA and the design of the Pass-through it would not work properly. It would fire all the time

wOoT wOoT! Just got a shipping notice on my Silver Vein Alpha! Awesome, let the mail lady stalking begin.

Now THAT'S my kind of pre-order!

Wow, same here! Have to get my ghillie suit and wait for the mailman.

Halopunker said the shipping notices were accidentally printed, they really haven't shipped yet.

Avoid the indulgence v2! My god, what a crappy, sucky mod. It was so shoddy compared to my bullet, that I literally just pre-ordered my alpha sv. So pumped to get another exquisitely made mod! I just hope I didn't wait long enough that I'm stuck waiting on the second batch to get made.

Stupid question, where is the switch?

The top of the unit is the switch. Push down Completely mechanical.

 

[Gulliverfoyle]

Hard to argue with any of this. I actually got the Indulgence to work quite well with a COMPLETE rebuild of the switch module. Then the chrome started peeling off like old wallpaper. I was vaping my Omega while working on it.
