OK here are my thoughts and testing regarding the VVPV.

Battery Life
Nothing short of amazing. I ran through three complete charges.
1. 1.6 OHM DC carto 9hrs vaping time
2. 2.5 ohm Fusion Carto 14 hrs vaping
3. 901 stealth atomizer 2.5 ohm 13 hours vaping.

The charger leaves a bit to be desired. A different type of end that fits more snug in the unit would be good. I REALLY wish it could USB charge but understand why its not cost effective to do it.

Design
I know the design is far from final. I also know some of this is already being looked at or already redesigned.

The pump door needs serious thought. The current design is a lost door waiting to happen. I know your already working on it and/or already have a new design.

The plunger needs work. It definitely needs a spring. In fact I added a spring to unit one while I had it. This way when the bottle is out the plunger stays up and dosent rattle. Im assuming the final version will not be threaded clear down the shaft. The threading makes it harder to pump. The actual feed system works fine.

The drip tip needs work. I hate whistle tips. I kinda expected a tube that plugged into a atty on one side and allowed a drip tip on the other. Basically a adapter that let the juice tube plug in between the top of the atty and drip tip.

Button
I would personally prefer the button on the side in the curve. I found it cumbersome on the top. I would also definitely prefer the soft button like the buzz. Im guessing you already planned on the other buttons.

Function
The controller worked well. It handled all my cartos and attys fine.

I have never been a fan of juice feeders because I always had difficulty keeping the atty/carto wet. That was NOT the case with the VVPV! I loved the ease of use. It is simple enough for eveyone to use . One press of the button delivers 3 drops which is perfect for an atty. The way that it feeds from the top enables the drops to fall right where they are needed on the atty. I never once had a problem with flooding or getting a dry burnt taste which was awesome in my book :) I liked the positioning of the button and the wheel. It made it very easy for single handed operation. The VVPV will be a drippers dream IMO :)
Oh! And the battery life was phenomenal! I had it for a solid week and only charged it twice and I am a heavy vapor. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to test it out Mike :)

When I had the VVPV I was quite impressed with it. Ya the pump button was a little loose but it was a prototype and I could see the idea behind it was going to be good. I'm not usually a dripper but with the VVPV I could easily become one because of the onboard juice dispenser. I like the whole setup. The shape fit right in my hand the button was where it is very easy to use. One thing I really liked was the feeder set up. It dropped the juice right on the bridge where it needed to be. I also liked the onboard batteries except for one thing, you have to wait for a charge to use it instead of swapping out the batteries for fresh ones. You get convenience of just plugging it in but at that cost. Of coarse you can continue to vape while it's connected to the charger. Whenever I test a prototype I realize that there are parts that aren't perfect but I can see what the final product will be and I think this one is going to be a very good PV. It is a fog machine for sure.

Hmmmm...... looks like their might be just a few of us testing out the next new PV from Notcigs lol :laugh::laugh::laugh:

Seriously it may just be that others have not seen this yet and will post their thoughts :2cool:
That could be it. I keep forgetting other people have lives that are not part of this forum. I guess that's what they mean when they keep telling me to get a life.
