I had my name down for a V4 but by the time i got the email saying it was ready, i dialed in my V3. I said no to the V4 as i can weigh a charge in 4-5 seconds.Just when I thought it was safe for my CC to come out of the wallet and get some fresh air!
Well I ain't playin'!Super Trickler?!UUUUUUUGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
So, as usually goes, I waited for all the "bugs" to get worked out of the Adam's V3 to buy. Turns out mine may have been the last of the V3 parts and even before I had mine set up he had the V4 for preorder.
Now, after using the V3 for a while, I really found the only detraction from an otherwise great powder dispensing system was the trickler. No matter how hard I tried I just couldn't make myself happy with it. That's when @Gabe22BR gave me the scoop on a replacement from Ingenuity Precision. I can say it has brought a smile to my ugly mug. It's fast, easy and accurate as @BartsBullets!
It wasn't cheap but it beat getting in line for the V4 and spending more mags $$$.
Not sure the Ingenuity Precision will interface with V4 but

Great! I still have to wait. What is your order #?

low 900s.
Download the manual. If you have had your scale set up with a V4 or anything else you’ll need to do a factory reset on the scale.
Once you get it working write down your settings before you start tweaking things. You’ll understand once you get it. It’s infinitely adjustable, and easy to lost.

Thanks for the tips, Bart! Appreciate it! How is yours so far?
The first couple of days I was ready to throw it in the yard. But Now I really like it. Once it’s dialed in it’s awesome.
Like most things there is a learning curve. This one comes with a 74 page manual (which grows with each update) and you need to be familiar with it. The AI will get you close with most powders. Record the settings before you start tweaking.
As far as adjustability the thing is dream and a nightmare. I keep playing with it to make it faster and faster, often to only go back to the settings I had.
You’ll enjoy it.

Just ran a speed test V4 vs Mr Coffee (SuperTrickler). Timed how long it takes each to pour 10 charges. As soon the machine is done, I dump the powder back in the Trickler and return the pan to start again. I was using H4895. Mr Coffee beat the V4 about 1/2.
V4 - 4 minutes 10 seconds
Mr Coffee 2 minutes 18 seconds.

Stock/calibrated settings on v4 or are you using custom settings?
V4 has custom settings and is as fast as it can go without over throwing constantly.

Is the MrCoffee enclosure enough on its own to keep air current from affecting the scale?

I was just contacted by super trickler. Evidently they are releasing a Gen 2. There was about a page of upgrades. They gave me the option to take a current unit that has many of the upgrades already or wait for the Gen 2 and get it in April. I’m going to go for the Gen 2 so it stinks it’ll take longer but the upgrades seem to be worthwhile.

I placed my order the evening before they announced gen 2. I was laying in bed and thinking and I told myself they’re probably not going to make any upgrades anytime soon
Same here
That’s gotta piss a guy off jussssst a wee bit
I should be getting notification pretty quick on shipping my SuperTrickler. I’m going to leave it as is. The ones I have now work great. But I don’t see anything so far to make me want to wait till April for the upgrade.

Im getting pretty close too, think I am going to keep my Gen1 order as is.
This is my experience - it’s awesome , even better as the software matures , and the presets wow - as I catch up on my reloading, I build loads x rifle x powder x bullet , very happy
I did the 2.2 s software update so can easily see the powder averages now. Was getting nice throw times and seating as I went, then one charge time blew out to over 40 seconds....then I realized I had run out of powder. Up till then I was averaging 6 secs with 4895
I think the V2 hardware upgrades are more for manufacturing benefits, the design hasn't changed. Sure there is more antistatic materials and some CNC parts instead of 3D but you will still be well served by the V1 ST
Seating as I go I am at 55 loaded rounds in 30 mins real world time, sometimes I have a charge waiting on the plattern while I seat, other times I throw 5 charges and seat in between throws. Sometimes I mess up and do a reset on me. Other times I just have another sip of coffee.
This would be one of the best decisions I have made in reloading. It's a big step up from most throwers like CM1500 or Intellidropper.
