My 2 cents for what it's worth: I would wait until it's been in the market a bit and the bugs have been hammered out. Less expensive, mass-produced, and first-gen raises my caution compared to the HV mods that are well-established for quality. If you're going HV, you're getting a unit that should be built to last (and whose appearance you really like), so it's an investment.

Cant believe no one noticed that pic. LOL
There was some comment about it on the EastMall forum. They are maxing out the double-entendres in all the advertising text, too. Marketing with sex, who knew?

Glad to see some more extended specs on the site, though. Having read through them I have a few thoughts...

Note that it's not technically an HV mod with the original $60 kit for a 3.7v battery (since 3.7 is the voltage for standard ecig batteries like the 510). You have to buy the $20 extended cup for 6v vaping. $80 total. That is the lowest you'd spend elsewhere on an HV too, which means if you really do want a high voltage mod, you should compare on specs/appearance as you prefer them.

It has a thread for DPV9 (KR808 compatible, IIRC) which I don't think I've seen on a battery mod before, since with others you need an adapter for the KR cartomizers. Good and convenient for carto users. It also sounds like it comes with all the threads, which is good because you don't need to pay more for extra threads/adapters if you're a multi-model user.

The upcoming USB Passthrough for Indulgence that can be used as a 5v sounds interesting as well, as it would probably be a very low-cost option for high voltage vaping.

My aesthetic concern is that the metal color is electroplated (as opposed to a solid metal, vinyl, thick paint, enamel, or even powdercoating). In my experience making jewelry for several years, electroplate is not a long-lasting or sturdy finish (stays fully intact maybe a few months with frequent wear depending on the piece, scratches). Granted, jewelry has considerably more direct skin friction/moisture exposure, but PVs also endure a fair amount of use and wear.

I'm looking into getting a 6 volt mod but this is not one I would choose. Maybe I'm being prejudiced but, growing up in America, I have learned through experience to fear three little words... "made in China." If I see that sticker on something, I know it's going to break (or have extra flouride in the toothpaste or lead based paint on toys that are made for young children that tend to stick toys in their mouth, etc.). I know all of the batteries and atomizers are made in China and I also know that they are so cheap that they are considered disposable. When it comes to a $20.00 difference, I personally would go with the Chuck because I can be assured that it isn't going to just stop working for no reason (unless you run over it which would provide a reason).

So, it's a Little Chuck in gold (or silver) for around the same price (considering shipping cost). That is not a putdown. It is very striking in appearance (although I don't think the nude models are included). Can you imagine Hellen A. Handbasket's avatar riding it?:D

I'd love to see a video reviewer do a side by side comparison of their respective performance.

It really needs a gold atty and mouthpiece. SuperTManufacturing's brass mouthpiece would work.

But Totally Wicked's coppery gold atomizer isn't quite right.
