David is there a picture of the complete Shockwave, would love to see the Satin vs. the Polished in a side by side comparison... Thanks....

Complete pics coming soon. I dont' have a side by side on one in Satin and one Polished, but the satin is the same finish as the PrecisePlus.

Well, damn, I couldn't resist ordering one of these. I hope my wife doesn't divorce me over it (I kid, I kid - I think). A couple of questions for you folks in the know. I didn't see an option for a flat top version, so I'm assuming these are slant top only. Does anyone know the diameter of the top (at the very top of the slant)? Just wondering.

approximately 20mm at the top of the slant (same as the P+ 18XXX flat top diameter).

Top Cap lower end view.

Shows the spring loaded plunger which makes for no exposed springs to lose and exerts constant pressure on the battery for reliable electrical connection. Note, all pieces of the spring loaded plunger will be Rhodium plated in the production version. A total of 5 parts of the Shockwave are Rhodium Plated

Also note the "D" shaped machining (not round) to securely hold and align the switch pod:

Removable Switch Pod. Contains the user replaceable Snap action mechanical switch, a high amperage version (10amp) of the same switch used in many mouses due to their extreme durability and life and also houses the Spring Loaded Plunger:

Top Cap juice Well View. Production versions will have Rhodium plated Center Post.

Will accept the universal fit Strata rebuildable as well as most all others tanks/rebuildables.

Note machined relief and indexed air flow channels for problem tanks/rebuildables:

No, we are in a holding pattern, But for complete transperency, i can tell you that my machine shop can not do them due to flexing issues of machining those big of slots and is sending the prints of the body out to other Minneapolis area machine shops to try to have that part sub-contracted out, we are waiting on replies.

This is my fault and i sincerely apologize for not forseeing the issues as when i prototyped it here, i prototyped of soft aluminum and didn't predict the problems stainless may present.

For now, i can only take orders on the non-slotted version (which most of the orders are leaning towards anyway). It doesn't mean we won't in the future, nor does it mean slotted customers need to switch to non-slotted. We are in a holding pattern until i hear more and will keep you updated.

Please note: if it should so happen that the slotted version can't be produced, customers will have the option of switching to the non-slotted or receiving a full, no questions asked, refund. It's also a good time to reiterate, the wait has been longer then anticipated and no customer who has paid is locked in, you can receive a full refund at any time.

Dear David , a very good day to you sir and i hope you are well .
to start with thank you for all the clarification , it really does help .
I have 2 small questions and would appreciate your input .
1) will the non-slotted version of the Shockwave be ready and delivered to the buyers first .
2) when will we know if the slotted version is a go ahead or scrapped .

I thank you in advance for your replies .
wishing you well
warm regards

Delivery time is irrelevent if you have the slotted or not, delivery time is dependent on the order in which the orders came in. On the slotted body, as previously mentioned, we are shopping the prints around now and i will let you know as soon as i have any information.

Absolutely Incredible!!! I am sure it will look just as hot in Satin. I can't wait!!

I gotta say, when I heard this was available for pre-order I dropped everything and ordered it as quick as I could. It was 2:30am and I was 2.5 sheets to the wind. I was worried I would regret the purchase for about .73 seconds. But, as I suspected, David has come through with an incredible product.

In that top pic, the button almost looks like an inset diamond. Very cool pics, David. A day-and-a-half of setup/lighting and photos. I'll bet you're ready for a long nap. Have you answered your emails and pm's yet? Oh, and don't forget inspect, clean, polish, prep, inspect again and pack and ship the other stuff. Wish I could be there to help. Great job. Good luck, son.

Dear David , is there anyway for me to get a slotted one .
I love the one above , but i have been more in love with the slotted one since i saw it .
I do understand that there may be no slotted one made due to the " machineing " problems as stated above ... but incase it can be made THEN is there anyway for me to get me one of them .
Incase it is not made at all , then i would be more than happy with the non-slotted one shown above .
please do let me know and i could place my order straight away .

thanking you in advance
warm regards
Sahil
