I was thinking/hoping the quicker it got tested by everyone on the list the quicker it would go into production!!!
I really don't want to wait 3 months or so I figure this would take to get geared up........
.....but who does?- Status

Thanks for getting it here so quick Ripple. I'd love to keep this for a while and try out a 901 atty, and do some other various playing, but like you said . . . I've got a good idea, and would hate to hold up production, so I'll be slipping it off on Tuesday.

I have some 2nd to last prototypes being made now so I am a lot closer to going to a final design and ordering .
Sounds good Mike, real good. At the previous mentioned price point she may be a big winner for all.
My 2 main issues are alighnment of the PCB in the enc. and the pot opening ( It always seems to be off and I have looked at it 20 times ??? ) and the side door , I think I will use a pin in the bottom and a magnet on just the top side but a stronger mag this time,.
I'll buy the prototype from you!!! Nah, I think you've been getting fantastic feedback so far, better than you probably thought you'd get -- we vapers can be such a finicky lot!

Well, I posted my first impressions in the wrong thread as well so I'm copying and pasting here.
"I'm using it now and it's working consistently. It charged about an hour and a half before it went green. Could something be causing the batt to discharge while it's idle? Hmmmm...
I drilled out an aluminum drip tip that snaps snugly in place and will ship the tip with it (after cleaning and alc. soak for hygienic purposes).
My observations so far:
Vapes like a NotCigs VV device! (imagine that!). As I expected, the electronics are highly functional without being overly complicated and glitchy.
Only having an original Buzz to compare to I gotta say, I like having a wheel adjustment. (can't wait for my Pro)
In the spirit of full disclosure, I'm not the biggest fan of box-style mods. I find them somewhat cumbersome. I built a few wooden bottom feeders a while back and never really used them for this reason but I realize that there's no other good way to design a feeder.
Constructive criticism:
Button placement could be more comfortable and the button itself seems a bit "pokey" (no offense Pokeygizmo).
I would prefer a horn style switch mounted, perhaps, on the flat side below the charging port. The military grade switch that another mod uses would be one good suggestion. There's a distributer here in the Detroit area that carries those.
Yeah, the plunger needs some work but I'm sure that's already done.
I had to pry up the center post on the 901 connecter to make it contact the 901/510 adapter. A Buzz connecter would be much better than the Chinese one that's on it but, again, I'm sure that that's already the plan.
That's all I have for now. I'll use it a few more days and give a final report."
I'm shipping this thing off to Lazerrred tomorrow. I've added a 306 atty with drilled tip and an 801 atty also with drilled tip to the package so subsequent testers can do some experimenting. I don't have an extra 901/801 adapter to pass along with it so future testers may want to scare one up.
I'll post final thoughts tomorrow..... and I'll post them here.

LOL, I do like wood But I don't think this would or should happen.
Also, I probably have an extra 510 to 801 adapter to pass along to Roscoe and others for the 801.

Good deal. I'm mailing it today.LOL, I do like wood

Well, with the VVPV winging it's way to Lazerrred and the charger leaving today (yeah, I'm an idiot), I guess it's time to share my thoughts about it.
Pros: 1. Easy voltage adjustment
2. Excellent battery life
3. Internal charging with replaceable batteries (very convenient)
4. Pump feed system works better than squeezing a dropper bottle
Things that could be improved: 1. The button, the button, the button. The thing that I found most troublesome was the placement and style of the firing button. Awkward for me to get to and somewhat uncomfortable to use (tiny and hard).
2. It could really use a catch cup or drip shield. I had to hold a tissue in one hand while using a 901 atty 3. The door needs to be more secure. Maybe a pin on one end and a bigger magnet on the other?
That's about all I can find. I think this might just be a winner for folks looking for a well made feeder.
I still prefer my Buzz with a tank. I find it a more simple solution, but that's just me. If you fix these little things and put it in a nice case I think you'll sell a ....-load of 'em Mike.

Thanks for the feedback Mist ! , I am going to find a better button/switch this appears to be a point of problems for many people . I have already made the change on the door , I have a new design that uses the Infinity Pro top cap now with a drip well in it.
Ummm, buzz, when does the preorder for this start (No pressure!!!)? I have to budget these days.......and I plan on being in the first batch if at all possible.

I have what should be the FINAL PCB's and enclosures coming in about a week , after that I have to build them and test them again ! I am looking for a new switch also . so ????
