Phoenix nozzles SOLD OUT

[Bryan]

1/11/2012--Phoenix nozzles are sold out. I am discussing any changes/modifications with Luis and will be soliciting a quote from the manufacturer this week. I would look to have them back in the store and ready for shipment sometime in March.

For these to be sold out is good news. It just shows how popular they are becoming. May I ask how many nozzles have been sold to date? Such a great addition to and DH regulator.

I'm super excited for the new batch of nozzles to come in! Are you going to let us know when they are available on your facebook updates or should I keep checking in at the store on a regular basis?

[Bryan]

There is no secret place for announcements. I use all channels I have available to let VDH customers know when products are available.

[Bryan]

Machine shop says they are shipping a few Phoenix nozzles to me on Thursday so please check the store next week. I will make them available for sale as soon as I do a QC check and see what yokes I have available to match with them.

Any changes/modifications in this batch? What kind of changes are you considering?

No changes were made. We have discussed a lot of things but changing the Phoenix has not really been one of them. Combined with the HPR it's about maxed out performance wise within the original regulator configuration.

FYI....Update on Phoenix nozzles..... Aqua Lung back ordered knobs again for another 30 days. I figured this would happen because it has happened several times in the past. Figuring on this I purchased standard 5/8" knobs to take their place. Please click on the link below to see the new knob. If you already have a Conshelf knob you can swap it out when the Phoenix arrives. I'm tired of being held hostage by the supply chain of others....This will be the knob used on all future Phoenix nozzles.

All drama aside I think there will be 12 for sale next week.

So does this mean you won't have any of the traditional style anymore? or just that the trident one will now replace the aqualung one?

[Bryan]

The trident one will replace the aqualung one?

I have 10 ready ship Phoenix nozzles that will go up for sale in the morning. I have quite a few more but as usual Aqua Lung is back ordering parts on me.
Luis and I have been working to get around this problem and make 100% of the parts for the Phoenix in house. BUT as I said in an earlier post I ended up returning the first independant production of volcano orifices due to tolerance issues......Making a long boring story shorter....After these 10 go I'll put some more in the store for sale with a note that delivery will be around May 31st. The nozzles themselves look amazing.....Just need the internals.

8 spectacular Phoenix nozzles looking for a new home currently available in the VDH store. Thank you

[Bryan]

USD confirms delivery of some internal parts on the 29th so there will be more available for sale then. Thank you

I received 10 more nozzle today but they failed to chrome the bore.. Dave is not doing the chrome so perfection is difficult to come by. Returning them on Monday and they should be back to me by the 18th. Since there is such a demand right now for nozzles and people are concerned about getting one I'm going to put 10 of them for sale in the store tomorrow. Shipping on or around the 18th.
