Im not sure if Im going VVPV , Infinity Pro or both lol..... Probably both so I can sport the full notcigs collection.
If you just want to send me one of those to test, I guess I could deal with that , lol.............NO Really.
I got my Buzz Pro coming next will be the VVPV and I will get a Infinity Pro as well. I have always loved the Notcig PV's and always well.
I have a lot of mods but few are used regularly the Buzz I have is one that gets used every day.
Right now I have my polished Aluminum Buzz set up with a Polished Drip shield and a SS atty.
Its classy. I need to post photos of it. Almost a year ago I sold my first Buzz and a week after that I was kicking my self I told my self that I would never be with out one again. So I bought two LOL
I sent my thoughts to Buzz earlier, but here is the email I sent him.
OK here are a few of my thoughts after using this for a few days.
Battery life seems very good, of course the issue with the led staying
on if no atty or carto attached has altered it slightly since I forgot
a few times to put one on when not in use. I know that will be
resolved in final product.
The biggest thing I didn't like was the drip tip. I'm not a big fan of
flat tips and this one has a really tight draw. Not sure if this is
the final style but may want to consider an option of round or flat.
Also is came to me slightly melted from over heating some attys I
would assume. Maybe a stronger/thicker material may need to be
considered.
The pump worked well, but again I'm assuming something a little more
professional looking will be used. I'm mostly a carto/bottom feeder
guy and the pump worked well in keeping my cartos topped off. The way
the feed tube layed along the inside of the drip tip placed it right
over the filler material, rarely got any down the center tube. But
vapor production and draw seemed very hampered with this tip. I would
pull it off and slip on a round tip and it made a world of difference
for me.
Fire button worked well but something a little more comfortable would
be good as the small point can get uncomfortable over time. Placement
on the device was comfortable and easy to use. Also an on/off switch
would be a plus to avoid accidental firings.
Markings on the wheel for the varying voltages would be nice also.
Maybe a slightly larger window to view the juice level would be
helpful. I'm thinking a magnet setup would be good for holding the
door on.
Overall I was very satisfied with it and can imagine the final product
looking very sleek. I know some of the things I was critical on may
not be in the final design and can possibly be ignored, but since I'm
unsure wanted to pint out what I saw.
Also I used the device with IkenVape cartos (mega and regular golds),
Boge Reg cartos, and an atty of unknown origin LOL. If I can add
anything else I will PM you and if you need anything else from me then
please ask.
Thanks again for the opportunity to give this a try, really appreciate it.

I know I'm not the first person to make those observations so I assumed that you were already all over it. This should be a very good PV. My favorite part is the internal charger with replaceable batteries. ....... Take THAT Darwin!
OK, my final thoughts on the VVPV. In short, it is a sleek and self-contained variable voltage top-fed mod, and you can't get much simpler than that.
Pros:
Really . . . it's got everything you need for a day of vaping.
Improvable Areas:
Again . . . I don't really know how to say anything more than it's got everything you need for a day of vaping. Minor aesthetics and tweaks would just put a nice polish on a great device. I'm still not sure I'm ready to jump from the tank mods, but I am enticed.
Pros:
- Fill up the juice bottle when you run out. (There was enough to last me all day.)
- Plug it into the outlet at the end of the day. (No messing with separate battery charger.)
- Battery life long enough to last me all day. (I can go into a 2nd set of 14430s or 16340s on a weekend day.)
- Compact. (About the size of a deck of cards.)
- Easy to see how full the juice bottle is without opening the device.
- Simple to set and adjust your voltage level.
Really . . . it's got everything you need for a day of vaping.
Improvable Areas:
- The button just doesn't feel good. It has all the appeal of a thorn on a long stem rose, LOL.
- Catch basin for stray juice.
- Better latch for door over juice bottle.
- Potential rearrangement of the components on the top of the device. (This might just be a preference thing specific to me, and everything was easily useable, just uncomfortable for me.)
Again . . . I don't really know how to say anything more than it's got everything you need for a day of vaping. Minor aesthetics and tweaks would just put a nice polish on a great device. I'm still not sure I'm ready to jump from the tank mods, but I am enticed.
Convenient ? Damn, think of a Buzz Pro in a box about half the thickness of a pack of cigs. You want juice? Press the button. You want a different voltage? Adjust the recessed catchy wheel. Easy peasy to dial in. You want vape? Press fire button and vape. You want charge? Plug it in to the wall charger. Batteries last all day long (9-10) hours or about 6mls of juice. Maybe longer.
What I'd like to see and it's most if not all redundant in the above post in this thread.
1. 510, or chosen at order connecters.
2. Prefer a side mounted soft recessed switch. Top position was OK, certainly not a deal breaker, but the little hard
switch button did suck.
3. On off switch.
4. To be able to change out the batts.
5. Solid juice door securing. I did think the juice window was the right size.
6. Solid juice feed button, not so "in your face".
7. Stainless feed tube outside the box. Maybe length options of same. Or just a client cut to fit option.
8. Though i didn't have any leak issues a small drip cup may be a good idea.
Overall, I loved this little dude. I think the finished product will be a winner. So simple, it just works.
Thanks for the ride Buzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Looking forward to the production model.

Buzz Beta
I was one of the lucky chosen ones to test drive Buzz's new VV mod. Patience, when waiting on something I want, is not my virtue, but on the 22nd of July it arrived on my doorstep. Freaky (the previous tester) had packaged it nicely and made certain it was charged and ready to go. All I needed do was fill the bottle and add my own atomizer. Since this was my first attempt at using a VV (variable voltage) mod, I searched through the box for instructions. Oh no! No instructions.. so I had to wing it.
Unit:
The mod arrived with a long glass bottle, a drip tip (which I discovered later was an important part), a case, a cover that snapped with I assume to be a small magnet?, some tubing, a charger, and a bottle of some Caramel Capp (or similar). Fitting the bottle into the slot was easy enough, and the cover snapped right on, but then I was stumped. I attached my own 901 atty to the connector but I could not figure out where-in-the-world the tubing attached to the atty. After spending about ten minutes trying to piece together the puzzle, I noticed the drip tip had a small notch cut in the side. AHA! (light bulb moment) Naturally the tubing fit right into the slot, and I was good to go!
Feeder:
The case was equipped with a metal 'push button' on the top, so I gave it a few pumps until the juice reached the atomizer. When I pushed the teeny button to activate the mod, nothing happened. I tried again and it fired! NICE. Not having a lot of experience with box mods, the juice feeding system was a new feature for me. I was never sure exactly how much to pump into the atty, nor did I know if it was dry or if I was flooding it... but I quickly discovered that it was like any other new PV, atty, etc. There is a learning curve and it just takes time to get the feel of how it works.
VV:
I realized then that along with the large button for the juice and the small button for firing, there was also a metal wheel. It didn't have any numbers or information, but I deduced it was the control knob for the variable voltage. Having never used a VV mod, I wasn't sure exactly how it worked. I decided to test it in different places to see what I liked best. The lowest setting seemed to lean on the airy side and didn't suit my taste at all. I also tried it a few times somewhere in the middle areas. While that wasn't bad, my favorite setting ended up: cranked as high as the wheel would turn. What voltage that is..? I haven't a clue, but it gave me the best TH and oomph to my juice.
Battery:
I was having a few technical issues, but (as Buzz put it "I'm surprised it held up this long!") this IS a tester, and like the neighborhood tramp She's been around the block. The unit fired about 3 out of 4 times, and on the day I went to ship it on to the next eager beaver, it came on and stayed on. I have to give MAJOR props here: the battery life is utterly amazing!! I used the unit (off and on) for five days, and on the last day it came on and stayed on all night long. All of this off the charge Freaky did before he shipped it to me. I never even unwrapped the charger!
Juice:
On the second day, I found that I really didn't like the juice that was shipped with the mod, so I tried washing out the little bottle. I filled it with plain 26mg unflavored nic, since I wasn't at home, and I thought there might be some of the CC left in the tubing. It helped, but the other juice flavoring was lingering, and after a day of that, I started to feel a bit ill. Since I tend to be sensitive to some flavors, and the unflavored was a tad higher than my usual 18mg, I filled the bottle with my "all-day-vape".... BBB. Unfortunately, I could still taste remenants of the original flavor. Perhaps it needed flushing from the tubing. Since I didn't want to disassemble the testing mod (and break something!) I thought it best to send on down the road. Five days was enough to get a good feel for the mod and form an opinion.
What I did like:
This unit had everything I would need for the day. The ultimate PV. The battery lasted incredibly long (way way longer than I expected!), the bottle held enough juice to keep me vaping almost all day long, and really.. what else is there? All day battery life and my juice already built in... just push a button. Pure perfection! (of course for those that like different settings--- only a spin away on the wheel)
What I didn't like:
Aside from the things I noted about using the 'tester unit' (which I'm certain would not be an issue with a new kit!)-- the power button was on the small side. It wasn't painful to push on my arthritic fingers, however I would have preferred something a tad larger. But my main gripe was the carry-over flavor from one juice to the next. If I were to purchase this unit, I would love the option to buy additional bottles for other flavors. The same way that flavors often hang around in attys, they can hang around in plastic tubing as well. I only vape 2 flavors, so having the choice to purchase an extra would be fantastic!! Then I could just pop one out and pop the other in! Viola! Problem solved.
To sum it up:
The unit was easy to assemble, easy to fill, carried all the juice I needed, I could change the voltage if I wanted, and the battery lasted forever. The unit was small enough to feel comfortable in my hands, and the juice button was nice and large. I think this PV will make vaping very easy AND enjoyable for a large majority of vapers. With a few minor adjustments, this PV could be the only one anyone ever needs.

Great review Lbug! I think that is the most i've ever seen you write on ECF! lol
Your review was very informative & unbiased. It only makes me more anxious for Mike to get the unit in the mail to me

I especially liked when she said she liked the big metal juice button... but... it's a ZEN-PLUNGER!
lol thanks
Jen: I've been typing mainly from my ipod this summer. (can't type much there! So short and sweet usually works!)
ZEN plunger! Noted!
hugs ya Keyze! hope you're feeling better these days!!! ♥

Nice Lbug. And yeah, unit #1 had some sort of berry (I'm not a fruit fan) permiated in it I could not get out. Tried, (not to hard) to find some tubing locally, but no luck.
Glad you liked it Buzz Thank you SO much for the opportunity! Was definitely fun
Laz: rats! I would have loved fruity! (can I go again??
)

Lbug. Go bop Roscoe over the head, grab it quick, and walk stealthy away. Oh wait, the plumes of vapor would give you away.
