Eclipse Is Almost Out

[Christopher]

Gotta say it's looking pretty good...but large. I'm not trying to knock it early, but I'd love to see a none auto drip version that's smaller. Maybe just remove the bottle and pump to shrink it down.

I love the look and the touch function but the size is really what keeps me on the edge. That and it's 300 price tag. I'm guessing it would have been cheaper if they had gone with delrin. Anyone know why they chose aluminum?

I have been tracking on this one as many of us have. The size is of great concern, just gauging its size based upon its relation to the 18650 in the picture is seems huge. The other big feature is the warranty, it is as complicated as the Provari is plus it has a "micro pump" for the JD. I would be very concerned if the warranty was less than the ProVari 1 year commitment. Finally, not being able to handle anything above 80% VG eliminates a good deal of popular juices you can use with it. Those concerns for $300? I am anxious to hear the reviews but I think they may have priced themselves out of the market with a device that has design limitations and size issues.

Edit: Also I wonder how much of the pump overhead will reduce the battery life?

I cannot wait to see what others think either! Talk about a laundry list of FEATURES! Craziness I tell ya. Although, I would probably need to have the instruction manual in my back pocket for the first month or so! I'm with you though Chris... I wouldn't mind seeing a bit smaller version as well. And $300.00!?! YIKES!!

Does that work on Sprint or Verizon?

[Christopher]

I think it's T-mobile

I think I've managed to convince myself to wait until at least Christmas before I get anything new. By then it'll be well tested and I'll know if there's anything else I'd rather have. I really do like this though, but at $300, I can wait (at least a little while).

I am glad someone we trust has made the plunge. Hope it works out for him.

[Christopher]

You 2 purchased one? Damn! I'm loosing my coolness But seriously that's awesome. Let us know how they work out. It'll be the Eclipse vs. Pro Vari battle.

[Brian]

Here's a pretty good vid of it. They have a close up and cover the features starting around the 7 minute mark.

That is HUGE!! Lots of nice features to play around with. I have a feeling you are going to love it, Brian. Can't wait to hear what you think of it.

Got an email from Digitalciggz last night.

However just this last Sunday Digitalciggz.com was served with a lawsuit from Reynolds Innovations Inc. also known as RII the makers of Camel Cigarettes, Winston, other major brand of cigarettes, and interesting enough The Eclipse cigarettes (which you can read about here)

According to RII we are in violation of the Trademarked and Copyrighted "Eclipse" name becuase our font is similar to the font that they use for the "Eclipse" Cigarette and type face. (NOT THE TECHNOLOGY)

Soooooooo.. We are informing you all that over the next few days you will see the Eclipse eq name changed to a temporary name of "EQ" until we decide upon and appropriate name for this awesome device!
