Thanks Dig--post did not show it at first. The forum has been doing strange things in the last week.

We have been advocating the use of protected batteries on this Forum for a long long time. Saving a few bucks just does not make sense when you can buy protected batteries for a couple of dollars more.

Can anybody recommend a mod that takes the same battery configuration (18650 for 3.7v and 2 CR123 LI PO for 5v) as the Joker that is not too big. Thanks in advance Danno
yes i was very disappointed at vaprlifes reason given for the joker not being made.
any li ion battery can have a problem. we would all have to stop vaping to get 100% protection.
it is their company and they can do what they like..

there is no commercial mod that vapes at 5v that uses a 18650 and 3.7 option that also uses rcr123a's. at least that I know of.
you have the xhaler from nhaler.com
glv from greatlakesvapor.com
prodigy from puresmoker.com
these are the only 3 I know commerically made mods that do 5v.
Vaprlife has always used protected batteries. And in regards to the Joker LiPo4 batteries should work safely with no problems.
To be honest it's not the unit but rather the user. We thought it best to implement some type of safety feature into the Joker so that in the event a user with a death wish decides to mix batteries or use non recommended batteries the unit will shut itself off. (Just because you can doesn't mean you should) Although the wait in the short term is an inconvenience I think in the long run this is morally the right decision. I think it's our responsibility as suppliers to put forth the effort to create the safest possible vaping experience.
With that said, when the Joker is finally I released it will contain safety features not yet seen on a custom modification and a first step in the right direct to provide a safe environment when using custom modifications.

I am still looking forward to getting a Joker when they work out the kinks. In the meantime I guess I will get me a Mako when they are available The Maksi looks like the closest pv to what I am looking for. I really want a 5v unit.
That is why I was asking. Then I found this thread out here with no resolution on the matter.
I have to say, I applaud their initiative to bring a safe and tested 5v mod to the vaping, safety is certainly a concern for me when looking at new PVs and I seriously do not want to vape off of a potential pipe bomb.
I got to get on that giveaway list!

I don't know if the Joker will ever be released. Hope so, but its been months for something that was somewhat promised , I think back in Jan. If someone knows something about its release please post. I am not holding my breathe.
Yeah, this has been going on too long. The site keeps on saying coming this spring and battery problems but wonder if it's really something else. They should just remove it until they make up their minds to sell it or not.
Figured I would update this. The joker will go on pre sale in about 2 weeks. Safety really was the issue. In fact once the Joker is ready, the mechanism used to protect the unit will be released for other modders to implement, thus benefiting the whole community. Believe me when I say we want it released as much as you do
