I definitely agree, just made a vid review on it along with the HV306, Isaac's atomizers are top-notch, and I'm sure this PV lineup will be as well.
I can feel my stomach churning in anticipation, everyone will envy my 50 cal chameleon 
So are you working on the 308 and 50cal prototypes separatley? can we expect the 50cal to be released at a later date than the 308?

Scorched,
The entire line was not supposed to be announced at the same time. Nothing wrong that it was, but it wasn't in my plans. Basically the bullet design is the bullet design. Accommodating for different batteries and different atties is just a matter of changing the dimensions, to suit that particular battery.
That being said, each calibre is specifically designed around a specific native atty and battery combo. For example the 308's package will offer a totally different vape than the 7mm, because of the atty and battery combo. Going from an non IMR batt in the 308 with an LR shorty will change its characteristics yet again, but deliver nonetheless. I did not have an IMR batt at th time proto 1 was tested, it was for proof of concept. I did not have an LR shorty, it was used with a IKV HV shorty 3.5Ohm on a Screwdriver 16340 original batt. It blew me away, and that combo was grossly under powered. I wasn't worried because Isaac was going to fit an LR shorty to it and the proper batt prior to shipment to Jack.
Two folks that have tried the LR801 shorty with an IMR batt are Vapourmadness and Isaac that I know of, now combine that combo with the eGo style vaporisation and you have something unique that delivers a punch that will not knock you on your keester perse, but you know you've just received a hit.
The entire concept of different calibres, released at different times during the year was to prevent folks from lining up for the 50 cal and 20mm. Bigger is not always better. I toyed with the 901 native connection for the 7mm and decided on the 510. 901s are not as popular (although I like them), and inexperienced drippers would be frustrated with the leakage not to mention the delicate balance between just right and flooded that experienced 901 users know about.
The only different caliber is the 50 cal that will be capable of 3.7 and 6V. They will all perform the same and outside of battery longevity, will deliver. FWIW the 20mm will be equipped with the 26500 vice the 26650 because of the better battery. 2300 over the 4000mAh (reported as inflated) and with performance characteristics much better than its 4000mAh counterpart. Furthermore, I am awaiting the release of the 18350 IMRs from AW scheduled to be released end of Feb/March time frame for the 50 cal.
So as you can see it is not as simple as pumping out a PV, I have been toying with the idea for quite some time. Finding a suitable approach to introduce another all mechanical PV had to be carefully considered. I believe the development of the calibre concept will do just that. It combines numerous features, some undisclosed to make it different and something sought after, besides its uniqueness (bullet shape).
A long answer to your question perhaps. The short answer is no. Once the 308s are delivered I will then start on the 7mm, and so on and so forth, with the goal of having all 4 calibres released in the year to culminate with the commemorative set available for Christmas. In 2012 well we will see what transpires this year
If we looked at what took place in 2010 and the exponential growth of features towards vaping Nirvana, to speculate on a direction at this time would indeed be per-mature.I have toyed with the 37mm canon round, which would be a 7.4V version of the 20mm. Folks would go absolutely ballistic with this device. I will not produce it, not even for myself, although I have the capability. Why? Far too much energy would be released during a thermal runaway, regardless of safer chemistry. I know I don't want to be around in the case of a mishap. Would you?
I'm excited too. I'm going to start saving up for the commemorative package as it will probably be really hard to get one of each caliber during the year. I'm going to be really happy if I can score one.

Congrats to you, Switched, and to you, Isaac, on a successful partnership.
Now to the elbow throwing...did I read correctly...only 26 will be done for each line...ever?? Alrighty then, I'm off to go limber up for the Olympic dash required to lay hands on one of these rarities.
Great health and prosperity to you both.

52 exactly, 26 per country. Nothing wrong with a little X border shopping ya know. We do it all the time LOL.
Switched, thank you for all the wonderful information but I am here in regards to a more grave subject...
the 50cal has been leaked!

I am not worried about it. I have seen several 50 cals out there recently. I am not the first and won't be the last. I can tell you I had the idea before I actually saw one, but hey no biggie. Just like Isaacs atties, there is more going on under the hood that meets the eye. This particular mod in the vid does indeed look like a modified 50 cal casing and business end.
I agree. I knew it wasn't yours as soon as I saw him hit it. Can't wait to get my hands on 50cal #2! I'm stalking you and Isaac. I want that puppy in my collection so badly.
He has a bottom button on that 50 cal..
dang, just took another 'slow mo' look and it might be from the side after all as he isn't moving the bottom.. Need more coffee..

The eGo pre-heats the incoming air prior to it being accepted by the atty. Providing added warmth to the vape. Some do not like vaping with the cone. Those who do, like it allot because it is a totally different experience and vape. Being a fan of the eGo the bullet is designed and vapes like one.
What else does the bullet do? It allows for user replaceable batteries unlike the eGo which has a proprietary battery. Even at 1000mAh, although better, not the proper battery to be used with LR atties. I know some folks will disagree here, but the punch the proper battery to atty combo delivers, coupled with the eGo vaporisation method, is simple Nirvana.
During the last year I have read and taken in all that was said wrt this or that. From what makes things tick and what folks are looking for. Basically I aligned the pros and avoided the cons. In other words I didn't wake up one morning and decided to manufacture PVs. I have been toying off an on with ideas since May 2010. 2010 was the year where the greatest amounts of advancement in the industry took place. What does 2011 have in store for us? Many HV vapers are now back down to 3.7V and LRs, why is that? Where will vapers be in 2012? I vaped them all, big and small, fat and tall
I vaped them all.
My go to PV is the eGo. My favourite PV is the vari-volt eGo. Many folks are reluctant with the eGo's 3.2V PWM delivery. Owning a 3.7V eGo and the original, the original provides a more satisfying and consistent vape. Voltage is only one piece of the equation. OTOH, my VV eGo which also employs PWM, is the cats meow.
Combining certain characteristics and factors together is key IMHO. Otherwise, as stated before - all things being equal a 3.7V device vapes just like another 3.7V device. It is the features that set them apart. The bullet? Well it needs to be experienced...

Not being argumentative Stu, what did you pick up that I didn't?
His fingers are not aligned for bottom firing, nor does he seem to be firing from the bottom. OTOH I didn't see a side activation neither.
I'm glad to see I'm not the only person who, after using a few good mods, still enjoys the eGo. I gave all of my black eGos to a friend, but kept my Pink ones, 900mAh, because I like the vape and I can bling them out a little bit with PV jewelery and I aways throw a second, back-up PV in my purse when I leave the house for just in case, and the eGo takes up little room.
Loving the feeder systems, I'll have to say that, I'm really enjoying the T-Tank, enough that I ordered one for a gift for a friend who is quitting analogs, and a couple of kits (with 1000mAh batts) for DH, who flies in and out of town weekly. He usually takes a Mini Reo, but 1) I would just "die" if it got confiscated by some "ugly" TSA person, and 2) It might be a little handier for him; not much but just a little.
As far as HV..... with all the great choices in resistance, attys and cartos, and especially all the great work Isaac is doing with improving those, my 3 and 3.7 volt batteries are seeing little use these days, but mainly used to try out/test new HV attys.
While I'm here, I've really appreciated not only the beta testing you've done for Isaac, but your most exceptional reviews and updates. Instead of guiding me in certain directions, when choosing atty/cartos, I have, instead purchased those you review, to compare your experience to mine.
Many thanks, Alice

Thank you Alice, thank you very much... Elvis as left the bldg
Yes indeed Isaac's attys. What can I say... he has done his job and has done it well. If it wasn't for Isaac's attys, the bullet line would still very much be a pipe dream for me. My heart was broken when he called me to announced that the drip tipped I had designed for the shorty (for the bullet) did not fit the longer shorty as the size had changed I nearly scrapped the whole concept, as Isaac's attys are a KEY element in the bullet, without them it would not have been the same.
I would have liked to see the semi continued however, but because the semi was originally intended to fit between the shorty and the std length 801, I had to concede that it was a good move from Isaac's perspective to discontinue the line. The semi was intended for the 50 cal. No biggie, I can still maintain the relative scale with the shorty
