I just replied to the preorder email thing from a few days ago and talked about the website requesting they join, so we will see.

They replied and it sounds like they are following the thread but don’t plan to join and get involved. They appreciate our commentary and look forward to seeing our feedback down the line. I feel like FC was the reason the Frolic and Dejan really got traction so I think that’s a bad decision on their part and will result in lost sales from some or most of us but maybe they change their mind and join when they are further along.
They said they will keep Instagram as their primary source for new info. Which is great if you use Instagram but I know many of us aren’t into that type of social media and I hate the lack of ability to research and look at historical info (kinda the whole reason I love this site and FC).
I think they responded on Reddit because there were too many outrageous comments on there. Reddit hivemind can be a bitch.

Yeah, I had an account on IG, but maybe I’m too old for it, but I can never find information I need. I ended up deleting the app, but apparently still have an account, or at least get daily email from them I can’t stop.
So the owner, Kristoffer, reached out to me after the earlier messages and asked for a call. I just got off the phone with him and up front I will say he was a very cool dude and easy to converse with.
It was good to get some insight, though I was asked not to share everything since they are still relatively early in the process and did not expect the German shop to post details so soon.
One detail I can share now is that the battery pack is proprietary and consists of a 2x18650 battery configuration. Battery life is not locked while they are working on maximizing efficiency with the software, but it sounds like they are aiming for it to last at least one full magazine. To me, that would be perfect.
Oh the volume of each chamber is estimated to be .2-.3g so it should be quite a beast if it performs.
The call was cut short for personal reasons… if we are able to resume the call please let me know if anyone has a meaningful question and I will be happy to ask.
