Any idea what price range the mini will be? Can custom colors be done on the mini also?
Since the only difference in the Mini and the Original Saber Touch is the actual length of the 6061 aluminum body. And it will only be able to be a 3.7v
mod since it will only hold one battery. The Original 3.7v/6v gives you more options as far as
mods go. So, basically my manufacturing cost difference is minimal since they have all of the same parts and labor time. But, I'm thinking that I will introduce the mini at $99 with Free Shipping of course.
And yes, I will also have the custom option with it as well. I was thinking of letting the customer just order 1/2 lb. of their custom powder, but I think I'm still going to keep it at a pound. I will always process two bodies using the custom color so that I can choose the best for the customer. (which of course raises my costs but I want it to look the best) And the other reason is, if I need to shoot more, I still will have a little left to make sure it come out perfectly. I'd hate to tell the customer that we ran out of his powder!
It's going to be a take a few weeks to prototype the new edition, but I think it will be worth it. I don't have to prototype the switch anymore. And if I ever do put together a variable voltage in the original ST, that will take much longer to make sure it lasts just as long as the Original. A lot for me to consider!
