i just got this beast... it's stellar in preformance. Ever thought about anodizing? i'm gonna anodize my magneto to black when i come across someone that has the tools and knows what they're doing ^_^
I didn't have the funds at the time for the pre-order. Does anyone know when Vapinaze will be carrying the AL-1 and what the final price is going to be?
Pre-order price was $75 + shipping. On their webpage, it says the retail price will be slightly higher. Who knows what "slightly" is, though? On their FB page, it says the glass tanks keep coming in and that they're trying to ship all the pre-order AL-1s out as fast as they can. If they've barely broken even on the pre-orders, I'd imagine retail price to be slightly higher + a little more. Still, I can't imagine the retail price of the AL-1 being close to that of the AC9.
Can I ask what your order number was? I just want to know where I am in line, I still haven't gotten info about shipment yet.
umm hmm good question. well i'm one state above NC (va), they started shipping 3 weeks ago? my order number was 2150
hope that helps.
also looks like i won't be getting my magneto annodized
. i did more research and you can't annodize stainless steel. T_T.
now i'm in the OP's situation lol. however, heat treatment might work so i'm researching how to heat treat SS to a chrome black finish.
now, i don't have a lot of time anymore lol but i'll have pictures if i make it happen. This is how the Nemesis was custom colored by Eric; they weren't annodized because they weren't AL-1 (lol). So the same method to color my magneto should work...
if anyone that does metal works care to shine in, i've love for you to shut down my dream of pairing my AL-1 genny with a mod; so i don't waste my time

FWIW, my order number was 2310 and have not yet received a shipment e-mail. Lucky for me, I'm able to be nothing but patient for this.
Im 2282 and nothing yet either, bummed I was going to show it off at vapercon this weekend.
Just to give you guys a heads up.... the stock tank o-rings SUCK. if your gonna keep it stock, don't over tighten. I've gotta make a trip to home depot and find o-rings that wont get squished and knotted. They get undone when trying to tighten the damn thing -.-, even if I bearly tighten it.
Its a flats oring type if your wondering. Theyre suppose to go over the edging of the glass unlike the tanks of traditional gennys. wasted 2 ml, oh well.
As of now... it's just a dripper, pretty damn good dripper however lol.
Still my hardest hitting atty to date.

i did and it didnt help. infact that made it worse ._.
the orings just become very slippery and get's pushed into the glass when tightened.
i got it to work again by gently and barely tightening it after taking it apart (3rd time today) AFTER blow drying all the pieces. if there was a groove for the flat o-rings to go into, this wouldn't be a problem but since there isn't tightening it to the point where it won't leak at all is impossible.
i need really squishy o-rings that hold their shape. and also to stay on base with the thread... and my previous post i found this video:
the guy is working with silencers, but it's stainless steel none the less. Since i can't find a mod that fits what i want for my AL-1 (the titan would be close to perfect if i can get magnets instead of a spring), this is probably what i'm going to do to my magneto's telescopic tubing and the actual switch so it has a Nemesis Celeste look to it. my only concern is how will i avoid the threading, cause this is a form of oxidation. i'll end up breaking connection. infact, does anyone know if this process with totally make the stainless steel non-conductive? cause if so, back to the drawing board.
also, what ever mech you have, i recommend getting a second 510 connection top piece for it, due to the fact it's aluminum, i can feel the dethreading already happening. so my AL one goes into the back burner until i get a 2nd magneto top cap. Permanent piece on that connection... infact i might just do that for all my RTA's since they all have different size post lol

Thx for the update. Once I get mine, I'll do a close inspection of the o-rings. I'll be pairing my AL-1 with a GV Private V2. If I don't like the way it looks, I may end up trying to get a black aluminum Sentinel.
clone or legit version? the vape is almost identical, it's like .1~.2 less v.droop on the real one.
also another thing i should mention: mine might have defective O-rings, because there's a piece of the oring clipped off. i'll put a picture of it when i clean it out, i don't want to ruin the build on it as i finally got it perfect.

Legit version...my Private V2 is legit, too; I don't mind sending $$$ to my pinoy brethren even though I wasn't born there. One thing I don't like about the Titan is that the top tube is not removable. Either way, I think I've gotten over my desire for an all black PV. If I'm really jonesin for it to be all black, I may just end up getting a ProVari, then keep the Private V2 at home and pair it with a nice RDA capable of multiple coils.
What coil setup did you end up getting to be perfect for you on the AL-1, if you don't mind me asking?
