Go to the Notcigs site you can go through the order proses but it will not charge you some have been charged $5.00 for the shipping but not every one there is a glitch in the web site. It only to hold one when Mike completes them and is ready to sell.

Sounds like its going to be October last I heard I will dig through the forum page and find out latter tonight and post what I find.

I was on the beta test group to and loved it. :)

Dumb question, it looks like there are two buttons on top... You don't have to push both do you? Also what's an approx size of this thing compared to a Reo mini?

My next purchase is gonna be a VV mod. I was originally looking at the Sgt VV (it uses 14500 batts of which I have 10) but he isn't taking orders, and the VV Reo will come out who knows when. Or maybe I should just get a prover, but I have heard there are issues with LR 1.5 stuff, then again I dunno why I would be using 1.5 if I'm using a VV.

I'm lucky to be the first beta tester on the metal version (updated too) of the VVPV; got it yesterday, and really loving it.
It's "medium" sized... less than an inch thick, 3" wide, 4" tall (approx)... 2mm thick !!! i mean that's Provari solid.
This is proto so i don't know if notcigs is going to reduce that to Buzz thickness 1mm or what, but 2mm thick alum. body, 2mm thick bottom and top brass plates.... SOLID.
My impression is that it fires much smoother than the Buzz... and the top feed is great. At first i thought; push pump like a dish soap bottle? come on. But 2 pumps gets the first drip, each pump after gets one pump. I use high VG so ymmv. Top feed IS what you expect from dripping.... imo better than bottom feeding.
The tube is exposed and hanging in the air but you can wind it around the atty no problem. narrow 6ml bottle is glass. Their is a spring loaded top cap piece that goes on top of the pump bottle cap and the button is on the top plate of the VVPV on one side. Takes a little pressure to push, but it works.
I'm an experienced dripper so I know how much NOT to juice an atty... so far not one peek of juice out the side hole (901 connector and atty) . Not going over 3.5v.
This baby metered 3.55 to 6.4 volts, not amp limited as far as i know so will take LR.

No drip well on the proto... and the dial is right there next to the raised brass dome connector.... i think the internals could be coated for liquid protection.... ?

Go to notcigs subforum for my review.

Using a new DSE SR 901 2.8 Ohm, and I haven't had a smoother vape from any PV.
Ive had trouble with the Buzz on/off twist the bottom cap for on/off etc and i've sent my Sgt II bf tank in twice. First the connector twisted off the housing, and a short somewhere now. Metal version should take care of that, but he's far from producing them yet.

VVPV production slated for a month from now.

I am digging the VVPV MX, what i mainly wanted to try was the top feed system, and it does work great imo.

The plunger type (soap dispenser) deal is super ... i use around 60% VG so it slows down the rate of flow so that 1 pump to prime the tube, then each pump puts a drop. It's flawless imo. Takes a little effort but that's not a big deal, and the bottle/pump units are replaceable from notcigs ("the dripper"). The VVPV has a spring loaded button that pushes the bottle cap; voila.
I have been getting fabulous vaping with a 3.0 SR dse 901... the proto has a 901 connection, and with the adapter, i'm getting awesome vape on a Smartvapes "dripping atomizer" LR 1.8 510 (bridgeless). People say these leak, but for anything, a dripper knows that the key is - not too much juice. Better less because you can always add more.

If leaking was an issue, (which it isn't for me so far) i'd be worried because the narrowness of the unit (less than an inch) doesn't give much room for a drip well and the adjuster dial is right next to the connector....

I'm learning to not fool around with used attys... you know, a little gunked up etc... nothing like a new atty. I have about 50 used ones that i put aside to either wash or toss once they aren't primo. That;s where the cost of vaping comes in vs smoking. imo.. that and juice. Once you get your PV's chosen, that's all you gotta provide.

I'm guessing the Gen rebuilds can be dripped in different configs... i.e. Dan's US Gtank has a drip top... might need a d/t adapter, but these might fit on the VVPV.

in my review in the VVPV test thread, there is a picture of the latest proto... and dimensions.
VVPV I'm really curious about this device too like what it looks like hows it works I'm waiting impatiently for more news on it

jif, i'll let you know if i decide to dump some off.... some folks say you can just dry burn them but seems it's up in the air as to what is best cleaning method or if they really work.
Isn't one of the claims is that with VV you can just up the voltage on a gunky atty ?
Anyway, i'm waiting to see if there is an EAZEE way...heheh. Like dump them all in a sonic cleaner.
