I think I was counted in for one, but could get 2 instead!

Excellent. 33 and counting.

I was tempted to get two until I realized that I needed Wifi nearby which I don’t have in the brewery.

Alright guys, I’ve prepared a google sheet with your names and desired number of iSpindels. Check the sheet, add your email address and please confirm that I have your order down correctly:

A total of 34 units have been ordered. I’m rounding up to 40 units since that’s how many PCBs I have to order. At the moment, my estimated cost is under $20 per unit, but these are unconfirmed numbers. Once I’ve actually placed the orders through Alixpress etc. I’ll be able to give a final price. Shipping through Alixpress is very slow (30 to 50 days), so we’ll all have to be pretty patient.

Questions & comments are welcome.

Kurt

Is it too late to take 2 ?!

Just read the informations on the iSpindel and it’s very interesting!

Hey David,

It’s not too late. Add your name & details to the google sheet.

Best,

Hey all,

We’ve hit 40 iSpindels. Unless we reach 50 units, I’m going to cap it here.

I’ve added waiting list lines in the google spreadsheet to track new participants. If you want to change your order, make a note in the comments and I’ll keep track of it. Make sure you add your email address. Once they’re all in, I’ll consider each of you committed to the group buy and will proceed with the purchase. If you all respond quickly, it’ll hopefully happen by the end of the week.

Obviously, if there is interest to cover for those 2 more I called for, I would gladly go back to my original 3 to leave them to someone else :slight_smile:

Hey all,

Everybody but one person (I’m looking at you Yacine :wink: ) has confirmed their order. There is one extra build if anyone wants to join. It isn’t too late. I’ll be placing the order by the end of the weekend.

If one of you has skills in electronics, I would appreciate a volunteer that could go over the supply links in my spreadsheet to make sure I haven’t accidentally chosen an inappropriate component. Column A has the original post’s suggested supplier links, and column B has the ones that I’ve selected via AliXpress. Let me know if anything seems amiss.

Thanks!

Might want to check your supplier for 18650s; seems like they won’t ship to Canada…

Plus batteries are one of those things that usually are complete crap from Aliexpress… Out of experience and from the experience of others, it’s one of those things that might be worth biting the bullet for. I would suggest avoiding that and paying a bigger but safer price at stores that sell e-cigs (I’m told batteries are around 12$ a pop in those stores… I don’t vape myself so asked around) This would push the price per unit up by about 9 $ but would avoid many disapointements.

Noted. Thank you Vincent. I’ll dig around a little this weekend for reputable batteries.

Sorry, didn’t check the forum for a while. it’s done :wink:

No problem Yacine. I’ll spend some time tonight putting together the order and will keep you all in the loop regarding cost and timing.
