Yo Dogs whatsup? Hope you're all having a humpy hump day. 
Busy as usual here knocking out some customs and building up some inventory of nice vape bodies (the wooden bits) and SC2 cores. There will probably be a handful of SC2s trickling onto the website (and here) in the next few weeks and then the first roll out in any significant numbers will probably be for 4/20 next month when we have our annual 420 flash sale.
Awesome, glad you could make use of the videos. @underdogette worked hard on those so I'm sure she appreciates the props. We're hoping/planning on her making a bunch more late this year once we're settled into a new space.
Typical.. a Dog always wants to take the scenic route... probably driving across Canada right now with its head stuck out a window lol.
Awesome.. sounds like the Travel VVPS and the SC2 are meeting your expectations so far then?

Good news! My new pup made it to Vancouver in almost record time!
...except I'm in Ottawa, some 4000km (2500mi) away, and it looks like the package missed the plane that would have made it in time for delivery this morning. Still, it's impressive that it made it into Canada and through customs in under two business days. With any luck I should have it tomorrow.

So far so good with the VVPS I got. I could probably just use the 2port one, and put the analog one away til whenever the need to use 3 comes up... but I like the way the analog one looks so much I'm probably just going to keep them both out...
I'm still saving room over the dimmers I think, or at the very least it just looks neater with less wires, so alls good.
Now to get used to the 15v adapter I'm using with the 2port... started out w my normal voltage for 12v plug I'm used to and man....Complete extraction. Blackest ABV ever (no ash tho yay). Weird surprise. Awful taste, but can't complain with how baked I am...

Come on, that's a 3-6 day drive depending, don't give it any ideas. I can take it out for scenic drives all it wants once it's home. I'd give it the corners of some drive-thru Wendy's burgers if I could.
I can get dark-coffee-ground ABV with my air core without char flavour, but there's a bit of technique involved for sure. It's tricky not to get sucked in by that magic-trick *poof* milking of a bubbler chamber at those borderline temps. At 'ideal' temps it's a bit more gentle, but when you're riding the line, there's that split second between 'is this working' and 'oh shit it's all white, stay cool man' that's hard for some of us to resist.

Yessir! Looking forward to trying out the 3-port model!
I've got the boxes now and am going to build out a couple 'standard triples' ones for inventory on the website (as well as a few pre-made doubles) here over the next couple days. For the most part I think we'll be doing 3port and higher units on a build-to-order basis so we can build them out with whatever features the user wants.

Me too, quirks are always welcome.
Been running the new dog through its paces, it's...very good. Running at 11.2V at the moment (courtesy of the travel VVPS, which is a great little piece of gear), really clean, consistent hits.
We're cashing NonGs and taking names.

What's up Dogs? I'm taking a rain-day and going to spend it inside where it's nice and dry making power supplies and hand trimming a thousand or so screens. The things I do for you guys... 
Nice! I love seeing pics of everyones Dogs in the wild! Happy to hear you're enjoying it so far and that you like the Travel VVPS too. The new power supplies are so new that they haven't made it into too many hands.. and those that they have seem to be too medicated to post or something lol.

Enjoying it is an understatement, haha.
Now that I've had hands-on experience with three different core designs (air core, standard Mk 1 and SC2), I'm kind of floored by how beautifully they all work but also how distinct the experience is. I keep thinking about guitars. My walnut air core reminds me of a Telecaster, with an edgy bite at the beginning of the hit; my girlfriend's standard core is more of a Strat, rounded out but still bright and smoothly glassy with a definite family resemblance; and the SC2 makes me think of a Les Paul, warm without being muddy, and sustain that doesn't quit. All of them are fully capable of solid gold music once you get to know them, and I might find myself picking up one or another depending on the tone I'm looking for.

That'd be me.Been running mine thru their paces. Damn it is sweet. No voltage jumping and the knobs feel really nice. Tight action. It's definitely been a little adjustment trying to get used to the 15v plug coming from the 12v one but I've not combusted yet which is all that rly matters.
p.s. Fender!

Oh my god, @muunch lol this is so funny! Obviously I love it, and since I'll never be able to do this, thank you for sharing your masterpiece. It looks like the 3 way adapter is more solid than the original two way there. Or is that just a mirage?
Can we can this thing Cerberus? You know, like the three headed hound of hades! I would love to spend a day with you and whatever you call your three headed dog.
Still rocking my dog daily, myself. I've found so much use with my UD accessories, too. I've been using my oversized nong with my vapcap, actually. It's pretty chill that I can use my underdog accessories with all three of the Vapes I use these days.
I would love to have that power setup you have going on there, muunchy! I would really love to push my pup up to maybe 12.5 or so with some glass.

@Diggy Smalls
Cerberus sounds so appropriate. Thanks for that!
I have off tomorrow so all are welcome over!
I'll post a lil action vid once I'm off work and may fire up the rosewood to fill my claisen up to max capacity. I was just using x3dogs and x1 carb hole last night for ease. Kinda annoying to lift the claisen with dogs attached to clear it if it's full. I haven't switched back to GonGs yet but may give it a go later, the NonGs have just been really satisfying.
I'd totally recommend even a single version of the new VVPS over a dimmer. You can achieve the same thing, yea, but the VVPS gives a much nicer station and the room you save (I guess not AS MUCH room if you're only running 1 dog at a time) is worth it. I'm not sure if the dimmer jumping voltage was isolated to me, but it's also been solved with the VVPS (even the manual one mounted on the sapele doesn't budge at all) so I'm pretty dang happy. I can see a travel VVPS in my near future.
Thanks again @underdog @underdogette ya'll are the best~
edit: @Diggy Smalls I didn't see what ya said about the claisen at first. the triple is def a bit nicer, but I feel like vapor gets trapped in there more than with the double. Not the biggest deal. I'd probably use only the triple if I bought another plug so I could use it with just 1 dog

Excellent! I think the guitar comparison is a good one.. all perform great yet have subtle differences in said performance. The SC2 is the core I worked on to bring the Standard and Air Cores back together in a single core so it's a mashup of both, all the pros without the cons.

Now that's what we're talkin about, hellofa setup!
Glad you're digging the new VVPS unit(s).. definitely a step up from the LED Dimmer which I liked but it can't compare (favorably anyways lol) to these bad boys other than on price.
Nice screen shot on the left.. how are you liking the new Zelda?
Yay Cerberus, I like it! Funny.. 5 years ago I posted talking about multi-core Dog we were calling Cerberus.. looks like we've come full circle. Underdog Log Vapes
If you want 12.5v with your Dogs for glass you can do that easily enough with a 15v power supply and one of the new Travel VVPS for a pretty inexpensive and bullet proof setup. http://underdogvapes.com/vape-accessories/electrical-accessories/travelvvps
Hopefully we'll be able to move this summer and if we can manage to get some more space then maybe we can get back into making some of the more obscure designs we've played with once again.

Oh my God I would save up for a multi core dog. I'm serious. There are times I would use it a lot. Have my mom over and we can share a dog a lot easier.
Yeah I plan on doing what you just mentioned @underdog , but I just bought California plane tickets, so that's going to have to wait.
Good things come to those who wait?

@underdog check the video game thread for my opinions on Zelda lol. in short, I looove it. Been waiting so long and it blew away my expectations. I've been playing a lot (probably around 150hrs actual time, a bit of my time logged is probably idle time) and still am really really far from doing everything.
Trying to finish all the fun stuff before beating the story, but it's hands down the best game I've ever played. Zelda is one of, if not my favorite series, and I grew up on it... This one is like a culmination of all the awesomeness since playing Link's Awakening on an OG massive GameBoy I inherited from one of my uncles. Tons of nods/references/easter eggs to other games in the series. The actual meat of the story is a little bit weak (compared to other Zelda games. I think it's much better than most contemporary games that just try way too hard), but I hope it gets fleshed out more in DLC. But from a lore perspective, the little bits of stories you get from dialogue and side-quests (and even translating some of the Gerudo & Sheikah text that's all over the game) are really, really well done.
Good thing is, because of how easy they are to use, the dogs have never left my side while playing lol. With that mouthpiece I rigged into my bubbler it's pretty easy to just tilt my head a bit and hit it... And triple claisen makes double dog so nice with the carb hole for easy clears.
The mention of a multicore is really nice... Got my wheels turning. I was thinking of a way I could multi-dog dry, without having to go thru a dry a waterpipe, and I think multicore dog may be easier for that.

That sounds sweeeeet! I grew up on Zelda too and this one is on my short list of games to play. I sure hope they make a dedicated home console version of the Switch though since I have zero desire to take it with me anywhere and it's silly to pay for a bunch of easily breakable features I don't want lol.

I've been playing on my LG 29UB55-B with no issues. I have barely used the tablet feature and just slapped a glass screen protector on there for when I do take it out. It scales up to 21:9 on my monitor even tho the game doesn't support it and make its look amaaaazing.
I would look into Cemu. It's a wii u emulator that SHOULD be able to play BotW in the next few weeks. I'll probably be giving it a replay on there. The resolution doesn't bother me esp because I get the extra peripheral vision w the 21:9 monitor, so my only complaints are the occasional framerate drops... and I can't complain bc it's a freaking a tablet, and the drawdistance/amount of assets the game has to load are insane.

You might be able to find a used Wii U for less than you'd think these days. By all accounts the game is just as worth playing there, versus the Switch. Of course, once you're done with Zelda, you're stuck with a Wii U... (that's not snark, I just mean the platform is past its twilight into dusk) But you could spend a while with Zelda.
While we're on games, any Mass Effect multiplayer people here? I loved the MP in ME3, preordered Andromeda and haven't touched the single-player campaign at all. I love that it's 100% co-op, no adversarial/PvP. Four-person matches, everyone working together, with some cool synergy between different classes' powers. I was playing late last night with strangers, and we made it through a match by the skin of our teeth, but everyone made it out alive and there was a collective 'YES!!!' on the voice chat. Not a bad way to end an evening.

Thanks are definitely in order!I'm loving the travel vvps, it's a good all around size for me whether on the desk, floor, or car. It seems rugged and I like the relative sleekness. The 24volt vvps I picked up while yard sailin' is the best $10 I've spent in recent memory, quite the steal
I have had to get reacquainted with my dogs, though. I found out my dd dimmer was not putting out the 12 volts I thought as when I set the vvps to the same I instantly combusted, lol. Gross
