Tadaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!! I just got mine today and have it up and running already. Read the instructions on Caesar's site many times, cleaned out the JD with dish washing soap, blew it out with compressed air in a can, inserted batteries(2 LifeP04's), checked voltage with voltmeter and it was on 4.2volts, screwed on standard Joye atty, filled up the JD half way with straight 12mg Boba's Bounty of course and have to say the vapor production is unbelievable to say the least. 
So far it works awesome, still haven't quite figured out how to change the voltage settings but until then, 4.2volts is more than enough for me.
Most of you know where you can find me most of the time (NV), I will adding more things there as I learn more about the new Precious but I will post here also.
For those of you looking for the New AW IMR 18350 batteries, Lighthound is so far the cheapest at $7.50 AW IMR 18350 700mAh LiMN Rechargeable Lithium Battery and in case they run out, oveready has them for $9.00 AW 18350 IMR Rechargeable Battery - Lithium (3.0-4.2v) - Batteries & Chargers - OVEREADY Flashlights/Torches - Control The Dark
ps, I have now mastered the "quick tap" medium "select tap" and the longer "save settings" tap. Took me an hour but now I can do it very easily and is only a matter of timing.
Aloha, Keith

i have a far cheaper supplier for the imr batteries, my secret battery place, Best In One i have bought most of my batteries here, takes a little time like 15 days but they get here, the batteries are of excellent quility, there redoing there web site so be patient, i just bought 4 18350 imrs for 11.00 and change-delivered, thanks chuclehead for the info,
Ummm wierd. With two 18350s in there, when I am using the Lv2, I can sometimes feel the batteries vibrating inside. I am starting to think this is more then an e-cig mod, and it might actually be a PV
I don't get it - you wait 8 months for a device, send over $200 to some guy in Romania who doesn't answer emails and barely speaks english because you think its the best and you go and use untested/inferior private label batteries from some sweat shop in China to save a few $ on batteries that ought to last a couple of years if you rotate them properly- and btw 1100mAh is highly unlikely in an 18350 package- what's the C rating? Oh they don't give it to you!
Well, good luck to you guys- you ought to know better- hopefully you won't have the opportunity to test the vent.
ADD: here's another place for AW's - flat rate shipping is $5 for the first 6 batteries and .50 each thereafter - AW IMR18350's at $7.50 a piece...

wow someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed, besides i kiss nobodies ...,nobodies!!!!!!!!!!
Alice went down the street to take out the garbage after Thanksgiving and Arlo handed her a provari. She said its not as shiny as the pictures of the Precious but it sure works great. Havent seen her since.
thanks for the tip on batts jimho, when you go with the new "smart Pv's " these days, you need a lot of IMR's to rotate through each day, i use 2 IMR 18650's a day on my Vari.
ukeman, you using the 1400mAh ones? Thanks for pointing out it takes two/day on the vari. I was thinking of getting those new 2900 mAh ones from the thread jimho referenced, but would probably have to kick in for the charger too (waiting on wonderlite to reply to stubear).
So I've been through 6 or 7 tanks worth now. I've seen no pitting or had any metal taste so far. Hesitant to leave it filled overnight. But fill, use, fill again, use, clean under a tap, store. No issues. AW 16340/750mAh batts are lasting about 6 hours until the unit reports 'orange'. Have yet to take it down to red as I always have a spare charged set ready to roll.

So, just a question for those of you who have received your Lv2 and have been using it successfully. Was it worth the wait and is it what you were hoping it would be? Just looking for some honest feedback. Thanks...
mine are 1600 mah... many report a full day or more on one 18650 IMR.
I go through about 5 mil + (juice) a day, so they are in pretty much constant use. I don't bother with the 18490's so far.

I honestly had all but given up on Caesar, but had emailed him a few times, with never an answer since September. So, I just sort of forgot about it. Actually ordered a ProVari (which I love). Then I got an email from Mark... what to do what to do. Heck I was on a business trip and money isn't an issue (luckily), so I made my PP payment. It showed up the day after I returned home. So I really don't feel like I waited - so yes it wa worth it. Is it what I was hoping it to be. I don't know, I didn't have any expectations. I always loved my Lv1 because it has never let me down, hit like a freight train, and honestly was and still is IMO, the smallest/shortest 18650 mod. I wanted to see what Caesar came up with. I had a P18 and sold it, also sold my P10. People say go mechanical, well personally I got tired of cleaning contacts etc... plus there are other reasons... but I degress.
The Precious Lv2 is a great mod, and what makes it great is a combination of things. Weight (lack of), size (I bet this is the smallest self juicing 18650 tube mod), VV (to a point-depending on batts-it aint a ProVari or Darwin), looks (I like plain and simple package - oh it is shiney, but doesn't get fingerprints all over it). I like the GG's, but look at the pic between CH's 2 Lv2's and the GG with a AVS on it. That GG is HUGE (but funtional). It probably is very appealing to some and some may really like the "steam punk" look of it. But honestly, I would never take it outside of the house. I have taken my Lv2 to work everyday this week and some peeps have said, oh look he got a super duper new mod. It offers a lot in a relatively small package IMO.
What is not great about it. I have to use a multimeter to know the voltage I am at. Not a big deal, I check it for the atomizer I am putting on, then adjust the .1 volts to my taste. The interface is not clumsy once you get used to it though. The other is JD, I have had mysterious floods, and some dry spells... But when it is right, OMG it is is really an awesome setup. Funny, my Dekang RY4 has been working great (I am almost out), but my Dekang 555 and LF tobac kept flooding the collector. I also find it cumbersome to pull the JD off to cleanup the juice if it has flooded the collector. I have not had issues when it is working right. I vape till it goes dry and refill. Nothing but good.
I have contemplated selling my Lv2, but I laugh at myself over that... Then I think of the Lv1... O'le reliable stays here, plus it has sentimental value to me. Then I look @my ProVari... No way am I selling that... I love that it can boost a single batt. ummmmm I am starting to turn into a mod whoring pack rat!!!
or maybe not, sold all my Super-T's Just want a ProVape to replace my eGo/Riva habit and I think I may be set. Or not.
Congratz CH on getting your Preciouses!!! So does it meet your expectations? I am curious as to your opinions on the JD since you are a GG w/AVS owner...
