Discontinued Thermovape Cera (Original thread, closed because of chaos)

[OF]

Not an opinion. Just simple fact.

No. Your opinion is their statement of intent is somehow an obligation to keep that policy in the future. It's is your opinion the statement is binding, mine that it is not. It was true enough when they said it, things change.

For instance, the bit you quoted says they intend to be shipping by New Year's........

I feel bad for all the hard working people who paid $300+ for a device they were assured would be shipped out a month ago.

Utter nonsense. With all due respect, please show me either an assurance or a date before 12/4.

Don't feel restrained at all to give us Pre-Orders some goodies!

We threw down 1st, waited, will get it 1st. If anyone's getting goodies it should be Pre-Orders. It would be very appreciated.
Ahem*maybe a free skin, or discount for when they come out...


That said, these "goodies" "free gifts" could entirely just be a figment of our imagination and were putting words in TETs mouth

 

[smokum]

I don't give a crap about free-be's, I only hope to receive my pre-ordered CERA sooner than later regardless of the wait or reason, and I'll be just as glad to get it when it comes as I would have if it shipped on the 'anticipated' date.

pffffffft $350, lol.... I'm in for $900 a couple days short of 30 days and STILL will have to wait longer when released due to custom's grubby little slow poke fingers

What is the ETA on your Cera now?

 

[Experience]

I know its sure to bring about another fire storm of protest, but since we are hearing from TET again it would be nice to hear a "projected shipping date" even if it was just speculation. I check this thread every day for news of my expensive new toy so it would be great to actually have some news to read rather than erm..what has been posted as of late.

Assured or said? Big difference, the contract everyone that clicked pre-ordered agreed to a basic contract which accepted that any dates where subject to change.

Sorry I really don't mean to be abrupt. I don't pre-order because I would easily be a very loud bitchy person right now. Perspective gets all fouled up when I get personally involved, I like to be a step back when I take things in, maybe many of you share my point of view and if you do then just don't pre-order and save yourselves the personal hell.

The beauty of not having pre-ordered is I can keep my perspective. This portable vape is the only one that has me interested. It has to stack up to what I already have and do more, really I am looking for an oil vape that can fill in for dabs around the home and go out to gatherings to share the wealth. I am sure to know if the Cera will do this with in a week of being in the hands of some big hitters. Videos and OF have made me feel confident in the oil performance but Tim in the video and OF (claims) to not be oil heads ( actually Tim says he doesn't do high temp oil) and I need oil heads to report they are happy. This is how people buy shit, hype may sell but performance and reliability sells for a long time. Past reports says this company delivers and videos with no cuts tells me it delivers, I only need a few oil heads to say "yeah" and I am there.

LL cart, I have been looking for a good way to do bubble for a long time, if this core deliver an easy, clean way to consume bubble I will be a very happy man.

The assurance was December 10th. 25 days ago from today. Thermovape has peoples' hard earned money. I'm not here to argue about how many days you consider are in a month. The point stands that the hard-working people who laid out a significant amount of money for a product promised almost a month ago are still waiting anxiously. This money could be earning interest in a bank.

Long waits, delays, second guessing the mfgr....seems like any other cutting edge niche product I've lusted after. I've been waiting nearly 2 years for a custom made home stereo tube preamp, for example. Just sayin.

I pre ordered an SS oil Cera + the ejuice cartridge, largely based on the input you all have provided. I'm new to all this, gave up cigs 2 months ago & have an oil vaping habit. .

(First post virgin newbie here)

 

[Krazzykid]

I seriously can't believe how asinine some of the people in here are being about all this!!!

I have been away from all my threads for a few days and of all them THIS is the only one where I have to read through almost 10 pages of nothing but people whining!! Quite ridiculous!

Basically the only useful information these past few pages was a post by Thermovape and a few other posts by other members here.

You do realize that the mods have more problems with this thread than any other one on this site right? If I were them I may have to consider starting to ban people from here. Good thing I am not them huh?

First off, howdy VSL, welcome to the fun. IMO tasty choice for a first vape!! Great to know there are still guys who favor 'vacuum valves', where electrons are real.

Congrats on dumping coffin nails, you'll live longer and better and now can waste all the money you save of false drugs. And vapes.

Good show you've already got a oil habit, Cera will get you there plenty fast. It's mighty handy to grab that sucker and get a big old hit and back in under a minute......

No, the PROJECTION was to BEGIN December 10, big difference. Right?

I really like the 'it could be earning interest in the bank' idea. Near as I can tell, we're talking close to forty cents if you've sunk your disposable income into Cera Futures......

Sorry, I just can't be worried. By all means get a refund if you lack the faith most seem to have or need the forty cents.

I above used the term oil head, I feel I need to define the term of oil head as I define it. Oil head - a person who uses oil to achieve a state of mind with no regards to quantity of the highest quality oil needed to do so and quality of experience and taste are held in the highest regard.

I understand not everybody fits into this narrow definition I have but what I can decipher from the oil Cera it is going to get me through vacations, family gatherings, etc. when doing a dab is unavailable. There is not a portable device on the market that can deliver what I need at this point, close but to many hoops for ease of use in a short time frame, the Cera appears to deliver what I consider an advancement. Isn't that the reason people pre-ordered?

 

[pakalolo]

What the fuck is wrong with you people?

How often do I have to come in here and clean up? Just go back and read yourselves. You're arguing about whether TET would be unfair if they sent out freebies in apology. You're pressuring TET to give you step by step progress reports. You're picking nits in a silly game of one-upmanship. From the rules:

• This forum is for mature adults only.

I don't see many qualifiers here. It seems as though even normally intelligent, mature members lose their common sense when they come into this thread. Some other rules:

• Stay on topic. Please avoid derailing or side-tracking discussions.
• Put some effort into your posting. Before creating a thread or posting a reply, please ask yourself: “Am I making a thread which is either funny, informative, or interesting? Does my reply offer any significant advice or help contribute to the conversation in any fashion? Is it on topic?”.

Why is this so hard for you people?

To be specific:

• No more squabbling over freebies or anything else.
• No more demands on TET for information.
• No more aspersions on the integrity or competence of TET.
• No more complaints about missed shipping dates.
• No more speculation about when the Cera will ship, or why it hasn't, or what the holdup really is.

You have a garbage thread to trash. Go trash it.

The last time I intervened here I was accused of being dictatorial. Well, that's my job here and I intend to do it. I have lots of infraction points, who wants one?

The PROJECTION was December 10th...... and now it is January 3rd (25 days later) and they still don't know when they will BEGIN to start shipping. Big difference. Right?

Loans don't come free in this country. I'm beginning to think that this is exactly what the 'preorder' is, a loan. A loan to thermovape in the form of $250,000+ dollars so they could source the materials required to produce the devices. Things just aren't adding up to me at this point.

They said that this entire device is produced of Ceramic that the '8 expensive tools' that they purchased will sculpt. If this is the case then I don't understand which parts could hold up assembly and shipping for almost a month? Not to mention at first they stated that the Ceramic was the material 'of the future' yet now they are talking about making the device with Carbon fiber and other materials in the future... I'm not sure Thermovape knows what they are doing right now and that is troubling.

 

[PB88123]

Take bits and pieces of information and it may or may not make any sense. No one knows the full picture but ThermoVape.

 

[VapeStL]

Thanks for the warm welcome OF. Guess I'm sort of a throwback. I like industrial design & all, but more than anything just want performance. Buying US made products that could last a lifetime wets my whistle too. Tube amps, vinyl, x-over less single driver speakers w/servo subs in open baffle. I'm a bit of a nut!

The Cera will be my 2nd portable vape. I'm about a month into ejuice w/an ego-c & assorted tanks. Already tired of it all. The next logical step for me would've been mods, or twists, or glass tanks, resistance meters for rebuildable atomizers or whatever else...ever watched a dog chasing its tail?

Has TV issued a video where they change cartridges, with material still in the cartridge? And does their ecig video exist? I'd like to know if I can swap between ecig juice & oil cartridges w/o dumping out the ecig juice. And vice versa.

Hey for those who have also pre ordered did u get a confirmation email right away? I put in the order around 2:00 this afternoon, it said I would be getting an email to confirm,haven't yet. I"m probly just being impatient but would like to know if others who ordered got an email right away or will I get an email when it ships with the tracking #. Hope mines still considered a pre order.

 

[TheRobbo]

Took a few days for mine to come through... it probably means they are flat out putting our Cera's together and don't have time to hit send, that's good :-)

Hey there. I did receive my pre order confirmation promptly after placement (within an hour or so). Hope you are able to get everything squared away! Super excited for Cera...

EDIT: placed my order on Dec 6 if that helps.

Cool that eases my mind a little bit, yea hopefully they are busy assembling.

I've sent my e-mail off to TET now anyway asking to cancel my order.

I think that's a good call.

You're quite welcome. Good to have another kindred spirit around here. What was it Adams said in Hitchhiker's Guide? '...their civilization was so backwards they still thought digital watches were nifty'?. Back when I still wore a watch (being retired, who needs it?) I was proud to wear a real mechanical watch with hands and everything. It was self winding since I can't be trusted to remember to wind it, but no electricity......

Luddite Power!!

Anyway, back on topic for a bit, I don't think the e-cig videos ever happened (could be wrong there were a bunch of them) but I have a Beta Cera with oil cart and can assure you you can safely remove it without any spilling or other issues. The liquid is absorbed into the ceramic reservoir and doesn't drain out. E-cigs will be the same not to worry.
