A quick take on the RBT logo - my opinion, I like the current logo, just find it a little too clean and too complicated, a proper logo should work in any color or no color, and from postage stamp size to side of a building.

No great slogans yet, I really like the word "modularity", which I see used elsewhere in vaporizer discussions but doesn't seem owned yet.

Top right, or maybe the three shades of green one below it are the best ones IMO.
Not keen on the primary 'three tribes' colour scheme at all, reminds me too much of really cheap and nasty head shop paraphernalia!
No offence to believers.
Maybe one day the red green and gold will be re-claimed for classier purposes, but I still don't like the unfortunate way it cheapens 420 related gear :shrug::2c: :peace:


Ryan has kindly sent me some new stems and a female glass assembly which I hope to pick up tomorrow.
Thanks @RastaBuddhaTao:tup:
I've been making do with a single modded stem for ages now, but have stems from RBT, Alan and 420.com coming in the next day or two, so I'm looking forward to some testing :science:!

I really like the 3 green tones, but I get what you're saying on being able to work in any size or color.

I dont like the multicolored logos, looks cheap to me. The black and white one on the top left would be my preference, though I'm not a fan of the dots either. Just a triangle would be cleaner, I think.

"Vape Different" is way too similar to the iconic Apple slogan, definitely needs to be changed. To me, the differentiating factors of the Milaana are that it's instant, powerful, and fun, so a slogan should convey those things in particular.

"Versatile" makes me think of a Honda Civic, which is great in a way, but not really great in the same way that Milaana is for me. When I think of Milaana, I think of something along the lines of "Immediate power." Or maybe something that conveys "rugged" AND "luxurious." I'm a terrible writer so there's definitely a better way of saying those things, but those are the ideas that come to mind for me.

Pretty much took the words right out of my mouth. I share the same opinion as you in regards to the colors and preferences. Great choices.

Thanks for the continued input. I am in agreement in large part. I let Steve know that I think since the in your face logo will be branded on the unit that something in the spirit of an old western branding theme would be cool... but it's brandability seems to be pretty important. So, in a way, it has to be black and white, at least on the unit. My only other thought is to maintain the triangle element in some way and that the Rasta colors don't seem to speak to the brand. He is an extremely talented guy and he has big plans for the brand so I know that he will create something iconic with our input.

Myself, I am just excited to order the branding iron and ironically use combustion to brand Milaana :)

@Vape Dr. Your masterpiece has been fitted with green glass and is headed back to you. Thanks you for turning your Mi into your own personal work of art. It really speaks to the close relationships that people are having with their Mi's.

Oh damn Doc going even more custom?! Nice! Can't wait to see

Along with black and white, I also dig the swirls, triangles are great for the rule of three, but the swirls give off the right vapor vibes to me. I've also always been a fan of the triskele, which this logo reminded me of, first the two top right ones below, but really any of these:

Part of what I like about the current logo is how it is unique, I guess we'll see where it goes... And slogan wise, so maybe something playing on the three? Instant Power and Flavor?
So Speed Power Purity are the three?
Vape Your Senses with Speed Power Purity?
Or to be more precise, Vape Your Senses with instant power and pure flavor?

Ok, email sent to @RastaBuddhaTao about my cold unit. Will report back when I have news, for the moment I will keep enjoying my unit. Appart from the long pre-heat I totally love this thing, I decided that as soon as Zion is available I'm gonna add one to my collection for sure!!

I got an answer in just 2 hours and the CS was amazing! I'm sending my unit tomorrow, they also think it's in the cold side.

Amazing CS @RastaBuddhaTao, I have read about the bad reputation but I'm more than sure than that is in the past. Can't wait to buy a Zion and try it!

Now comes the sad part, being a few weeks without my newfound love...

About the brand, IMHO keeping it as simple as possible and without the colors would be the best. I also think that the colors make it look cheap. To be honest I love your avatar @RastaBuddhaTao but I have no idea about branding so I'm not the best to talk about it.

I think you're really on to something there. And who knows the brand better than SS?!?!

I really like the very bottom one. Kind of like Mercedes Benz, but groovier. I agree that the swirls give off vapor vibes.

Loving these new logo iterations. Can't say for sure which one I like most but I'm loving the progress!

More testing has pretty much confirmed to me that my older Mi is running a bit cool. Not sure if it's worth sending in or not as I still get great results with it, but I'll probably shoot RBT an email.

New Mi heats up faster, warmer, etc.

New Mi also has the heater screen noticeably deeper. I'm able to fit stems into it that would bottom out on the old Mi, including my 18mm Ddave stem.

I'm liking the swirls too..gives off good vibe..triskele??

Yeah, triskele and triskelion are actually Celtic symbols, but to me it is just a beautiful representation of the three and fits the vibe. For me its like Mind Body Soul or Logic Instinct Emotion and perfect for Rasta Buddha Tao
@tblast I used to have one as a pewter necklace pendant and my friends said it was like a hippie mercedes logo, Benz on acid :ko:

Just out of curiosity, how long do you need to pre-heat?

Trying out the cobalt short stem with my Malaana. It sure looks pretty. Using some Gods Gift an Indica that is good for evening. I took this pic. It's my heavy hitter before bed. I have some of the vortex GonGs on the way. I'm hoping they can be used as a mouthpiece too. They might be too short?

The vortex adapters are my daily driver stems. I use one for most of the day dry and then the other one through water for the last couple of stems of the day. I find the male joint stays cooler than a normal stem does on the mouth. When using them dry I never need to stir. I never find the vapour too hot through them despite the length. The restriction in the vortex part also helps to keep material from coming through but I put an extra screen in before it to really limit particles. I highly recommend them.

I'd love a pic and description of how you're doing the screen. I've been using a bit of cotton to eliminate particles and am liking into screen options.

From left to right:
Stock screen right up to the edge
Space that has all of the particles that make it past the stock screen
Second screen that sits up next to where the restriction begins (the screen is a prototype from @Ratchett that is more fine than stock screens)
Space between the screen and restriction has a few particles
After the restriction has pretty much pure reclaim with no particles (bonus is that it makes a cool pattern on the inside of the gong but that's not really visible in this picture)

I hope this helps you. I had used hemp fibre for a while but I didn't find it to be worth it and this method is easier for me to work with.
