The pro vari looks nice, but at this point for me, if it doesnt have an auto juicer (not a dripper or squeeze bottle) then im not interested.

keep your eye the 3DFS- (soon to be renamed).. it's a high tech box mod with a pump, but will probably make coffee for you (I had something else but it would just get censored) if you know how to set it..... nobody knows what the case is going to look like yet but they are talking no comprimizes....

juicefeeder would be nice but an E2 syringe modded is not bad. i still want a Precious (or 2) but placed a pre-order for the Provari (it does look neat) just in case the Precious is never going to be released.

What's that Geico commercial... is one in the hand really worth two in the bush?

Add: I figure the provari with the Super T juicer will do the trick for whenever I don't want to lug a box mod... switching to dripping for stealth isn't that arduous.

the point with every PV that delays its release ends up becoming outdated. who would order a Carlo's juicebox today? in a little juicefeeding is gonna be a thing of the past also. i remember i wanted eastmall "obsession" to be a juicebox. than a VV juicebox or a VV with feeding system now i just dont care what it might be. is the 3DFS ALPHA going to be released soon? clock is ticking. whos gonna get the infinity or whatever it is that notcigs is putting out?

I think they were aiming for the holidays but weren't committing to anything- Shadow said he'd give us an update in a month or so ... at least he's on line and talking ...

Infinity....you mean the diablo? Well if that's what they name it I'll probably get one ;-) otherwise, I'm on the fence- I may just buy it to have an ultralight vv device... but let's be fair- it's ancient technolgy wise compared to the ProVari- it doesn't have boost and requires stacking to get the voltage up...it wasn't really designed to be an all day primary vape- ... It may have a place in a collection but I don't see it as a replacement for what we expected to get from the Precious.

I really think the ProVari is a contender electronically to the Precious without the JD- it looks different but the led voltage display beats an ohm meter or counting flashing pulses (something i didn't like on the precious) - it's not as sleek as the precious on screen, but I can get used to it- plus you can turn off the lights just like the precious .... some of the earlier posts of the original ProVape were pretty positive- alot of folks said it doesn't photograph as well as it looks in person .

If i want to make a fashion statement, I can always whip out my phidias....

The Pulse mod Cisco was promoting would have been the closest alternative to the Precious lv2 but that's another mirage. I also want a jd so I don't want to drip anymore. Only if the new Shockwave was variable voltage. I like the build quality if the Super T mods. I guess I could get a "terminator" by Buzz for it. I'm also looking at the Provari but the latter two just look more sophisticated.

3DFS ALPHA, what's it going to be made of? Hope it's not plastic-that's what kept me from ordering a fistpack. $200+ for a plastic mod-not me.

That's the big question indeed. I'm sure it won't be a plastic box- Shadow made a point of posting that they spent alot of time finding the right enclosure for it and that he thought it was top notch but we won't know till we see it ....

Maybe its the time difference- I keep reading this one and don't understand what you're saying...

not attacking you - I like SuperT's stuff too-and i ordered a vapemate, BUT the Shockwave doesn't even have a feed without the vapemate and no VV- it's not much more than a P18 big enough for a 26650 battery - its comparison would be the Helix (apparently delayed due to cicumstances beyond their control)- neither are here yet, both basically nicely machined metal tubes with a custom switch (not any lack of apprication for the machine work) - .... ForcedFuel was talking on and off about a vv box mod but last I saw he said that was delayed for a while...

... the lights are on but nobody's home on the Pulse so it's in the same place the Precious is- ADD-the Pulse was priced in the $400 range- not sure what it had on its feature list that isn't in the 3DFS.... but if there is something you're looking for, I'll bet you'll get a good answer from Shadow if you ask...

The Terminator - requires 6V or more and regulates down... won't help a shockwave unless you stack 18350s- if they fit- or you can fit LiFePO4s ...but you don't need a shockwave for that.. any mod 18650 (i.e. a P18) will do...

I don't understand your last sentence- which latter two?

nuck doesnt make or sell fistpacks anymore.

I know that, I wouldn't buy one when he was making them because of the plastic built. They're too delicate-accidents happen and there goes my $200. I don't mind paying 40-50 for a plastic one, have plenty of those-no big loss, but not 200.

Thanks Jim, wasn't sure, the video I saw showed it in plastic, so the price coupled with plastic was instant turn off for me. I don't care what it does at that price.

I got my Grande and I love it. I am very impressed with the way it's built and the vape it produces. I'm currently using a regular 510 and I'm very surprised at the vape this is producing. The only other mod I've known to hit like this is the Phidias. You don't need an LR atty at 3.7, amazing. The feed system it employs is excellent and I get great juice feed with one push and found that you don't even need a drip tip for it if you decide to drip on it. You can just add your juice directly to the catch reservoir, that's pretty neat! I am also very impressed with the customer service-he contacts you to see if there are any problems and is ready to make it right if there are-couldn't find any.
