So Steve, any news on the powder coating?

yuppers ... My powder coater was out of *Satin* Black, so we went with Tan to see if we felt that was better than gloss or matte, and we think it is ... Here's a quick snippet... We also used this time to test depths of etching :) Off for Satin Black Manana :D All imperfections are completely gone, and all you have left is perfection :) God Bless Powder Coating!

Steve---What a great looking PV---going to be a big hit!!!---Sun

Thanks Sun, much appreciated...

Very nice..the color reminds me of my old Desert uniform in the military.

Since we're powder-coating, I guess that means the custom colors could be coming eh? :D

Ganna need a Fire Engine Red next!

Good luck with the powder coating! Looking forward to getting this beast in the mail.

Chris

Hey Chris ... Yes, custom colors will be available once we are completely caught up. If fire engine red is what you want, we should be able to make it happen :)

Hi Steve,

So if say, new colors will be available later on and we personally find the color tan uh, abhorrent, can we later exchange it for the color we originally wanted, like black?

Haha ...

No no no rink, this isn't what you think. The Prodigy is coming in Satin Black, the tan was simply a test for 1) Satin Finish 2) Testing the depth of the etching

That looks freaking SWEET!!!!

I love the font of the etching!!!

Are you willing to let the Tan one go? :)

Thanks Frankly! I do have a series of 4 tan ones ... If you really want tan, we can go ahead and ship what we have out to ya! Tan is NOT my thing, but it may be for some !!! LOL 8-o

I am pretty sure they will still be black. The tan was just a quick test to iron out any details

Edit: Steve already answered as I was replying. :)

Darn ... couldn't quote fast enough ... you are correct young grasshopper

Trying to !!!!! I LOVE the pulling out your hair emoticon!!!

Also does that mean shipping Friday?

Etching is taking place as we speak (tonight and tomorrow) since this is in reverse to the original. The original was getting anodized, then etched. So, we should be able to get them baked on Friday morning so if the stars align, powers combine, and captain planet makes an appearance, Friday afternoon they will start shipping!

I'm feeling the same thing. To be completely honest, right now I'm not so much a fan of tan.

Can we get a couple more pictures of the piece with a couple attached atomizers of different colors (I guess White, Black and Stainless Steel are the most common colors out there)? I understand, also, that pictures don't always capture colors very well.

edit: You know what, it's gonna be a great vaping product, and I can paint it after the fact. I'm just happy it's shipping. I'm hoping the tan color will give it a classy old school look.

Looking good! Can't wait for "junior" someday. lol

Its closer than you think ;) ... We just need to get the Prodigy out the door ... The Junior will actually be a 3.7v version (much to the dismay of Walrus) and take the same Adapters as the USBpass. So you can use 1 adapter and switch it back and forth between the PT and the Prodigy V2 :)

Ye gods, whew! I almost popped a piston. Thanks for the clarification Steve!

It certainly does have an excellent finish. Looking forward to seeing and vaping with the final product!

LOL, no problemo rink ... Thanks for the very kind comments! Yeah, powder coating is amazing and quite expensive :mad: Luckily, my contact can turn them around same day. Drop off morning, afternoon delivery ... :D

Walks ... see my last couple responses :) Units are actually *Satin* Black ... We were simply testing the finish of the *satin* and the depth of the etching :)

Also like what you've said you've done with the button, even though not recessed, has that resistance so not easy to push off very easy in pocket or handbag.
