okay, here's unit one!!!!
I received the VVPV for my beta test on 9/9/11. As far as I can tell, this unit has been tested by 8-10 people before me {there are 8 signatures on the unit}; I'd say she has definitely 'gotten around'.
In the package I received the VVPV unit (901 connection) with the battery built in, the charger, and one bottle/tube combo. I also received 2 adapters so the unit is compatible with 510 and 801 atomizers and pre drilled drip tips for 801, 510 and 306. There were also 2 screw pieces that I believe may be used for the pump but I have not changed out the one that came in the unit.
Considering the size of this little mod, theres a lot going on inside. Somehow there is room on the top of the unit for the feed plunger, the tube, atty connection, voltage wheel and button. On the side that houses the juice bottle there is a small window so you can see how much juice you have remaining. The device is comparable to the size of a deck of cards. The bottle reminds me of a small spray bottle used for body spray or breath spray. The tube is built into the top of the screw on cap and fits through an opening in the top of the unit to connect to the drip tip with the hole drilled into it. The plunger simply pushes down the top of the bottle, feeding the juice directly through the tube and onto the atty. The voltage adjustment wheel moves easily and has a range of about 3.2v to 5.6v or so. There is a small blue led next to the button that comes on when the button is depressed.
What I like: I like the shape and size of it. I love it being top fed. I like the bottle and plunger design. I like that the batteries are built in and the whole thing plugs in to charge. The battery life is truly awesome!
What I would modify: The button! It's teeny tiny and I think it would 'feel' more comfortable if the button were on the side, or a more rounded, or less sharp, larger button were used. This is really my one big gripe with this PV is the button size and placement. The other small issues I took note of have already been addressed and will be upgraded on the final version; sturdier plunger assembly, drip well, on/off switch, and stronger, more durable door. I'm told there is a new button in the works for the final version that is bigger so there goes my complaint about that!
Overall, I would say that as a plastic prototype unit that has been passed through the hands of several vapers, this thing has been built to work!
