The Volt - Possibly Another Game Changer?

[NoizMaker]

Hey all,

I came across this device today whilst YouTubing and it has sparked my interest to say the least.

Not affiliated with this company, never even bought off of them but here is the video:



I would imagine this product will be available from other suppliers eventually but it looks really cool to me. A proprietary VV eGo??? That would be a very cool product if I don't say so myself. I have looked at many VV devices but this would be a much more economical way to try VV without breaking the bank.

Anyone else heard of these?

There have been a couple of other threads about this device. Even if it is real it is unlikely it is vv and if you look at the pictures especially the display it definitely looks like it was Photoshop. I doubt that this device even actually exists.

anything is possible noiz !

heres to wishful thinkin

on the wild imiagination of the ex-smoker

and also TGIF...

I ran into a few ad's by this GotVape place on Youtube. IMO none of the devices seem well made at all. Most of the ads are for contraband use anyway.

Elendil: It definitely looks photoshopped!

That being said, a real build like that would be cool. But the clear atty would probably crack/break quickly. A VV in an eGo design is a win in my book..

 

[NoizMaker]

I had similar concerns, if it does exist then it could be subject to poor workmanship and cheaply made internals. I think a proprietary VV eGo would be awesome though, that would be a total game changer if it can be pulled off.

Foreseeable Issues with the design:

Short battery life - Since it would be using a booster it would chomp through your mah much faster

Complex Interface - Some people may not like the 1 button system for raising or lowering their voltage, hopefully it wouldn't have this system but it is by far the most likely

Too Fragile - Lets face it, if you dropped one of these puppies it could break it much easier than a Genuine Joye eGo

Unless it was setup like the USB pass-through eGo batt's are... Then you could have a controller type device that quickly plugs in the bottom to the USB connector, make your changes with a much easier and nicer layout to work with, and remove it when finished leaving the setup stored in a chip on the battery. It's one extra step, but a much nicer interface could be provided that way, and could also be kept very thin and extremely portable.

Could also potentially have the ability to check current voltage/amperage output and the status of the coil with an ohms check.

That is such a good idea! My multi-effects guitar pedal has that exact functionality and the software required for that would be tiny and mostly GUI. Maybe the push button system could be a backup to use when you are out and about as well.

The challenge with all of this, is getting all that electronics in something smaller than a baseball bat

Yay, finally had a good one!

Another idea would be to make it in-line, so it can also be charged through the remote and can check for storage limitations of a weathered batt much like a laptop can. At this point, the possibilities are endless. The eGo-TRV² (Tank, Remote Variable Voltage) lol!!

Rob: The chip needed to store this tiny bit of programming wouldn't need to be large at all. I'm convinced the current eGo batt size could contain one. All the auto batts have breadboards and chips in them. The batt would just store the programming, the remote would contain the majority of the electronics. Basically like a ProVari, but with a multiple button interface that's removable.

Im interested to see if this is real, anyone see that "rocket" or "apoloe" 3 flavor PV on alibaba? Would be nice to have an LR atty, reg atty and spare flavor whilst out and about.

Its been around for awhile (apoloe), but have yet to see it offered on any site.

Great post Noiz, thanks

GotvapeS.com is NOT Gotvape.com (the latter being the "contraband" pieces you speak of)

 

[heXy]

Thanks for clarifying...

It's definitely real and is a new product being marketed by Shenzen

[JayTheVapingGuy]

actually looking at that site it looks like its a concept device that they plan to bring out... having said that... even if the battery life is only that of a 650mah or hell even an xl 510 it rocks and i'd buy up 3 or 4 batts to be able to do vv

Seems as though it is real, still grayware but at least it is coming along.

Based on what I can see of the threads it will be more similar to a PigCig than a true eGo, meaning it will have an 808/901 threading. Small inconvenience with all of the adapters available out there.

 

[Elendil]

I don't want to be a Negative Nellie, but I will eat my hat if this is actually commercially available as pictured, with VV before the end of 2012

That got a -5 out of 10 for review.

To me it looks like a eGo with a digital display for voltage. Nothing in the link regarding VV. What am I missing?

yeaaaaa.. gonna have to agree there.

That could be true as well actually, I would hope not though, because other than knowing if your battery is about to die it would serve very little purpose IMO.

EDIT: I posted a question about it on the video, hopefully it will be answered and I will post the results. If it's not VV then it is a very misleading name and design.
