would you pre order a GLV?

[jaybird]

iv gotten a ton of pm's and mails on the website about a pre order for what i thinks going to called the great lakes vape-r/ vapor/GLV. here's another look

it will run on 16340 3.6v batteries, be made out of aluminum , and come with 801, 901,510, adapters. you will also be able to pick your color. for under $100

Nice looking device, but I rarely vape at 3.7v anymore. I want flexible power options.

 

[wegster]

for others, the 16340 is ~1000mAh 3.6-3.7vFC battery.

Dunno - cost? Looks ok, but depends on cost.

 

[jaybird]

goning to try to keep it under $100 atomizer, battery,and charger included .

 

[wegster]

Hmm. Maybe. I like the design, assuming it holds up (if the 'smaller tube' is indeed round, not much contact area to the battery tube, and am assuming it's not machined or cast into place...).

I really like the button placement, and the 'overlap' of the tubes, although I think I'd prefer the atty to push further down/shorter 'smaller tube' for the atty to go into, it looks like it would be comfortable to hold and operate, never did get the SD 'rear button.' Although I know many are happy with it, and wouldn't turn one down, have taken enough design/ergo classes and real life that 'just fits right' is a nice goal..

Have any been made yet/reviewed, or this is 'brand new to everyone'?

I'm going to have to agree with you on that point, Weg.. it does look like it will 'fit just right' in the palm of a hand

/raises hand to voluenteer to test this baby out

I like it but would definitely like to see a review or be a female reviewer *nudge, nudge* before I committed. The price point seems competitive and I like any mod that will work with 901 attys. I must agree with weg on three points:

1. The atty tube should be shortened a bit (at least it looks like it from the pic).
2. The button placement is nice - never could get used to the bottom button.
3. The fact that it would fit in your hand is really nice - I could go icognito if needed.

Will there be any more color choices available? Red would be sweet!

I'll keep watching for updates. Best wishes.

Looks like you could put 2-901 atty's on it and call it the Doublebarrel! Now that would be an interesting concept.

here is the red and purple

A few questions:

What kind of warranty?
Will you be providing a video so we can see how it vapes?
Will you provide some more pictures with it taken apart and the battery?

Thanks

Love the purple but I gotta agree with Chef on this. I use a 901 with a manual passthru (hubby built) on a 5v powerpack. 3.7 just won't get me there.

Sorry ~ P

 

[jaybird]

not sure on the warranty yet, and i will post a video and pics.

 

[The Rain Man]

I like the look!

 

[Majestic]

Nice looking as well! It's compact with a good look.

I'm not really into pre-ordering anything. If the product or service is good then it will be around for the future purchase.

As for atty placement, I think the way it is depicted in your artist's conception is just about right. Considering the location of the button, would you really want it any closer to your face? By my estimate, the atty at is present location gives you about 3/4" wiggle room between your face and the back of your finger or thumb. Just my thought.

please make these simple enough even sell them to where you make them on demand type of thing

fair enough. making them is not an issue, and a 5v model will come out the same time as the 3.7v. i dont want to hype them up to much, but they work as good as anything out there. i will be posting a vid , and pics very soon. i was only going to make a 3.7 model, but there are to many people out there that like the 5v for me to ignore. the way they are made is to simple not to include the high volt crowd. i like the 3.7v myself, less juice consumption, and atty problems.

any idea as to how long its going to be before there are ready for sale?

I use a ZiMoshi Light Vaper now with a 18650 battery. What's the difference between that and a 16340?

This device seems similar to the LV in design too. It's hard to gauge the size? Does it have a LED?

 

[jaybird]

we are really close to production, wont be long at all. as far as the 16340 vs the 18650 battery goes, its smaller. Dimensions: 2.64 in x 0.71 in x 0.71 in
Weight: 3.17 oz=18650 Dimensions: 1.35 in x 0.65 in x 0.65 in
Weight: 2.5 oz =16340

it is similar to the LV in looks, because i love the way it feels in my hand....very natural. the LV is a modded flashlight ,the GLV is a lot smaller in size and has its own design. yes it will have an led. ill have some picks in a few days.

 

[mamacat]

AWESOME!! I have the LV too but it is really big for small hands, so I am very interested in this as my next mod! Can't wait to see pics or vid on this one.
