Lead is still used in quite a few types of solder. Don't really want lead close to something that could possibly vaporize it and then get inhaled.

Yes that is what is confusing....I thought he had special tips for the cartomizers. In this thread he cleared it up by saying that the cartomizers will fit the 901 tips.... so what is the exclusive airflow option when it comes to the cartomizers?
I was under the impression these wouldn't need a special tip for the kr808s or Greencigs - they would just screw right onto the mod. Then just open the airflow hole to your preference. The 901s thread right on to an 808 batt so I assumed you would just close the airflow hole back up to use with a 901. Or maybe you need a tip for the 901 to close the airflow hole completely?
Or perhaps they do have a special screw-on tip for the kr808s, Greencigs, and 901s (same threads) and you just adjust for airflow as needed?
Regarding solder for consumer electronics in the 21st century, this isn't really true. The EC countries made the use of lead based solder VERY illegal a few years ago. The world's solder suppliers acted swiftly to be in compliance.
Today, you could buy lead based solder, but you'd have to work at it and you'd risk prison and financial ruin for no reason.
Regarding the reliability and serviceability issues sited; One can build a very reliable, easily serviced product containing solder joints. If anyone doesn't believe this, they should never get on a plane or in an elevator.
I would advise everyone who vapes to buy a 'mod' or battery case to free themselves from the puny, Chinese e-cig batteries and to have a usable, renewable device in their hands if and when the FDA manages to make sales illegal. However, solder / no solder, shouldn't be a reason to choose one over another.
After trying almost every ecig brand and model on the market as well as all the mods and tinkering and lurking in the mod section of this forum, I made the decision to go with solderless switches and was able to find a solderless resistor...When higher heat is involved as with these mods most small resistors are not made to hold up to the voltage and amperage maintained....I have studied electrical theory and worked With Johnson Control World Services while doing my Mechanical Engineering Apprenticeship and helped design and develop the Medasis Automated Building Ops system back in the early nineties...Not bragging or anything but more qualifying my experience and I will tell you that if something can fail it will...Soldering joints and resistors fail...Why you would design something that would have a risk of a flaw when you can do a better job mechanically just dosent make sense to me...Thanks for your in put an d interest in my products...

EDO,
I do believe Lotus is correct here, at least that was my impression also but bumpin for Drew just in case! =)
Thank you Drew I always feel you are looking out for the BEST for us!!!

I keep going back and looking at the picture.They are just so cool looking.I cant wait to have one.Im saving my pennies!!!!
Do we have any idea how much one of these is going to cost?
Also, is the button on the very end? Cheap rechargeable batteries?
This is probably going to be my first "big" e-cig, but I haven't really been able to find out much about it.

still excited, i already splurged a little, but on my way to saving up for one of these. Hoping i can afford one on release day.
i kinda like the silver one on the left, looks easy to palm. but these were the prototypes. cant wait to see what Drew's shipment looks like.

Yes, waiting and waiting the excitement is making me Crazy Colors..... 
Well still waiting and waiting 
Well still waiting and waiting Waiting here too.
I just KNOW Nhaler service will be better on this than others that am having issues with right now *sigh*.
My only real question, from the small images here is How easy is it to replace a switch? Looks like they are enclosed?
