we need to make a Prodigy adapter for your breathing aparatus on your fire gear. Then you can vape hands free while saving lives!:D Then sell it to the scuba diving community to cover the development costs! vaping and scuba diving...im a genius:cool:


Just have it done before October when I make my pilgrimage to Fiji.
 
Steve, sorry to hear about the anodizing not taking, although I think the powder coating will look nice as well. Any thoughts of a rubberized coating? Just curious...
NO NO!!! I am stiill trying to get my face to heal from the rubberized carts on teh ladypipe and 401!!!

Latex allergy sucks.... it also risks lawsuits if he does not label the product as "containing natural rubber". Unless he wants to make it silicone... if it were silicone gloved I could mount the companion (juice delivery system) to the top of it with less problem....

imagine... enough juice for a whole day... 2 batteries to last the entire day and no other CRAP except an extra atty to bring out with me for the day! That would RULE!!

Thanks for the updates Steve.

Sorry to see this Product Launch constantly beating you about the head and face!! :grr:

Glad to see yer still holding up ok and pushing through the countless obstacles.:thumb:

I gotta agree, that powder coating is (Yet Another) an improvement over anodizing...Quick Question... Gloss or Matte finish?

Quick Question #2.... PT's getting the same treatment/finish?

QQ #3...... Will the new Switch be mounted as pictured? Appears to be on a skewed plane vs. parallel to the body.

QQ #4..... Did ya source black 20awg cable for the 2nd PT run? If not, I'll be plenty happy with Blue.:)

Thanks again fer keepin' us "On Board" with the Development/Production Process.:thumbs: It seems to lessen the pain of waiting somewhat :)

BTW...Wanna trade a free car charger for Overnight shipping? :D Gonna be out of town from Early AM Saturday 13th 'til Tuesday PM on the 16th and was sure hoping to have my Prodigy for the trip.... Let me know If it's possible to get it delivered by Friday PM.... Just Shoot me a PM if Ya think it's possible and added cost info.

A: At this point, we were going with *Satin* Kind of the best of both worlds. We will have the results tomorrow, of Gloss/Matte/& Satin to determine :)

Quick Question #2.... PT's getting the same treatment/finish?
A: We sent off roughly 40-50 to another anodizer in Alabama. We'll see how those turn out. If not so bueno, then yes, they will get the same treatment ... Powdercoating :)

QQ #3...... Will the new Switch be mounted as pictured? Appears to be on a skewed plane vs. parallel to the body.
A: Skewed plan vs. parallel? Its exactly parallel to the body Strato. We simply counter bored the piece holding the switch to make room for a lengthier throw.

QQ #4..... Did ya source black 20awg cable for the 2nd PT run? If not, I'll be plenty happy with Blue.:)
A: Likely the BEST news of the day ... YES, I was able to source 20AWG Power USB Cables :D

A: I would Mike, I just can't guarantee it ... Plus the cost of overnight shipping is only roughly 6-7 times the amount of Priority :D I'm already upside down enough as it is on the first run ... :mad:

See Answers in RED Mike! Thanks bud...

Please be Matte... I much prefer recessed colors.

We'll see! Either way it likely won't be gloss. Either Satin or Matte.

I know I shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth and I do appreciate the inclusion of an extra, but how about something everyone can use, like an extra atomizer or a battery?

I'm a dyed-in-the-wool, lifelong New Yorker and a car adapter might be tricky to use from the back seat of a cab...

Battery, perhaps. Atomizers are like GOLD to me consider they are the single thing I have to import!!!!

I am in the same boat as you pretty much. I live on LI but don't drive and the outlets on the LIRR are standard 110v outlets so I have no need for the car charger but I thought it was nice that he actually says what kind of extra he is going to throw in.

As a former Janty customer I got used to being TOLD that the company takes care of their customers but then they don't actually do anything. At least PS is willing to commit to exactly how he is going to compensate delays.

Actually you can buy a 12V converter from wal-mart. Plug it into 110 in your house and it has a 12V plug in on it.

OK...I have read over the entire thread and call me a ....., but I do not see the new shipping date. Could some kind soul please tell me the new date without calling me an idiot?:confused:

Understood! Getting offered anything for waiting just shows the difference between an excellent supplier (PS) and just a good one (Janty), who offered nothing to those who had to wait for the Janty Stick.

Hope you don't experience and further mishaps!

    Just a comment, Steve - I'm not a customer yet, but used to design and manufacture some items for a business I used to own, and did some similar 'documentaries' on making of specific items, always love seeing others do it...it's just very cool to see 'from start to finish,' even when there are some 'hiccups' (e.g. going from anodizing to powedercoating) along the way, and it does say good things about customer interactions on your part, even/especially the couple of 'hiccups' being mentioned. Thanks :)

    Keep the pics coming, I suspect eventually it'll translate into more orders as 'nothing is withheld,' even if it's non obvious in it's impact.

    Now..go finish my M510/401 adapters for the USB PT! :D

    Trapped within my imagination
    Although, I too am impatient to get my prodigy... I have no problems with Steve keeping it longer to make it as sweeet as possible lol....

    Nice try on the atomizer lmao ^5

    mouse> "Actually you can buy a 12V converter from wal-mart. Plug it into 110 in your house and it has a 12V plug in on it".... I'll probably contact you a lil later to ask a few questions about this later k?....

    now, yall go at least read my classified add..So I can buy more stuffs lol...It looks like the kid in class that no one will sit next to lmao

    Tossin in my vote> I'd definitely use a battery( and or rice krispie treats) over a car charger...
