We are getting closer :)

I keep thinking about how it will probably prove quite difficult to get one of these and it bums me out but what keeps me calm is that at least we know that after the 3 caliber releases, everyone should be able to get a zinger. That is still the case right switched?

Well folks have greater odds now since Isaac will be getting the whole lot vice being split up between US and Canada (as announced), same deal with the remainder of the calibre series. So Isaac will be receiving 200 PVs, I am sure you will be able to snag one of them

Yup! the zinger will be a full production model. I have a few other ideas, but these cannot be disclosed at this time. Because I am a one man show and don't farm out the work, quantities will always be in demand as outside of production machining (what I do) there will be no mass production perse, for now and possibly even in the foreseeable future. I am not doing this to get rich but rather occupy my retirement, while offering the consumer a product that remains affordable.

Every know and again a one off will surface as ideas come to me. These on the other hand will be collectibles. They will come with certificates of authenticity for the buyer (to protect the value of his purchase). These one offs will be impossible to copy. Folks are welcome to produce knock offs, but they will remain exactly that - knock offs.

Thanks everyone It has been a real pleasure creating them amidst some frustrating moments. Outside of the o-ring on the drip tips and the battery, there is no commercial sub component to the unit. The entire unit is hand made on a lathe.

Very nice! This first model hits a really sweet spot... handcrafted + 18350 + 801... bingo!

Very nice indeed. Looks great. Grats, Switched

I had you in mind my friend when I designed it. It was our dialogue that inspired me to go forward with this venture, and for that "Goldie" I thank you.

If there are knockoffs I'm quite sure they will be junk as only the man responsible for the original idea, the designing and production of the idea (you) puts his heart into the finished product. I know I wouldn't want one from anyone but you Switched.

Yea, I'd love to see the Chinese make these knockoffs and try to ship a container of "bullets" across the US borders, hehe...

The 308s have been shipped as of today and should be seeing the shelves at IkenVape shortly. Thanking you all for your patience and I hope you enjoy your acquisition as much as I enjoyed fabricating them for you

Switcher,

Thank you very much my good man, finally

Let's just hope the stork doesn't take too many stops before finding Isaac's chimney...

Hey, will you have any closeup pics released while the babies are in transit or will that have to wait until Isaac approves all adoption papers?

 

[Vaporologist]

Bump for some pics!

 

[Switched]

 

[Vaporologist]

Oh, baby!!! That looks so awesome!!!!!!!

Thanks a lot for posting those pics. I've been anxiously waiting to see the closeup of your work. Just beautiful!!! Congrats!
