All right, best to address this one straight out I guess. For sure very soon other guys are going to be poking around with the idea.....so with the understanding that experiments are going to happen I might as well save folks some time. As an indication of how important/useful I think this might be, I'm going to dip into my future photo posting quota and post a photo of the much troubling switch. Please bear in mind mine is a cosmetic reject, ignore the dings:


Whatever you do, boys and girls, do NOT bend any 1/8 brass rod you have lying around into the strange shape to the right of the switch. Should it accidentally get clipped on the Cera base it can hold the switch in the on position until removed as you can clearly see in the second photo:


We're all adults here (or so the Ground Rules say....), you've been warned.......



You're very welcome, 'call 'em like you see 'em' seems like a good policy to have. Easy to remember, too. That's important to me......

I absolutely think so. It is in their Business Model to support such stuff on a 'one off' basis even. Once the panic dies off a bit I expect a decision will be made on what the 'power saver' (or whatever you care to think of it as) version should be. I'm actually thinking it might want to be a little less than 14, the 12 I started with does a bang up job IMO. Maybe 13? Hopefully more testers can help TV make that decision.

For perspective, the oil cart is 14 as well IIRC, but the juice cart is 10 Watts since 'juice' vapes easier. Tim suggested changing my order (placed before Christmas, too.....) for a spare oil cart for dedicated PG use (love the stuff, if it's my only oil cart I'm finding an excuse to vape it up to put something else in....) to the 10 Watt juice version. Now that it seems the inventory control system is working, maybe they'll give me that cart next time I'm out?

We have actually revised the EL cores, we made them hotter now to ease in the warm-up. This way you can get almost instant vapor with PG/VG fluids. I'll have a cart for you next time, I could of given you one last time but i completely spaced on it....

And BTW i love your switch clip!!! ingenious!!!

OF, I'm confused, Imagine that!
Could you please explain then why they are going with the "hotter one"?
Am I reading this right, you don't recommend it for "general use", what's general use?
So it's going to shorten the total run time, but only give a little faster warm up time, I sure hope it isn't turning into a glorified T1.
Any benefits I'm missing to why they are going with this hotter one?
Doesn't seem that there many pro's to it.

We have done extensive back to back testing with both the "cooler" and "hotter" cores, we chose to go with the "hotter" one because of the significantly quicker learning curve. The battery life is still much better than a T1 and you are still going to see 4x the battery life with the Cera.

In the future we may offer the "cooler" one for those are most concerned with battery life.




I guess with the new safetypin one could do as OF said and just (for instance) tape a marble to the back of the cera and use the safetypin to "toggle" it on and off? just untill we recieve the other switch. or am I completely wrong here?


The bottom cap needs to be loosened before you can put the safety pin in, The Pin is more of a saftey device for when your traveling or need to store it somewhere where it can't be powered on.
Heres a little more Cera porn, a few more getting shipped out!! Even a few international orders!

Aw, come on! You might fool some of these guys with that shiny clean bench top and all, but it's obviously Photo Shopped!

AHHHH i ordered Jan 3 so prob still a few weeks for me, hope TET can haul some ass and have no more delays. Too bad i dont live a little closer I would drop off a case of Redbull to help the cause.

Hey TET any chance in the future of you guys making/selling a on/off switch like was originally designed ? I know I would like the option for different times like traveling I would want the lockout and if I'm chillin at home the on/off would be better. It would be awesome to have both options.

Thanks OF and Tim for the clarification on the "hotter" core.

As always OF, appreciate all you do!
You always go out of your way to help!

You're welcome.

Thanks for the kind words. Seems like good karma to me. The information is very important I think, it needs to get out and in a form folks can trust and use.

Don't loose any sleep over this. TV isn't the only game in town. I know of two such projects in process right now outside TV.....based only on what we know from this Forum. Just because that idea has problems (and I've come across a fit issue that sometimes prevents turn on when you want.....), doesn't mean other, similar, schemes aren't being worked on. Open design you know.

Were working as fast as we can, we are still sorting out our QC procedures so we are just double and triple checking EVERYTHING!

We have alot of cool things on the drawing board, including the latching switch. ;)

I wish they would signal me to warn me its coming so I could prepare lol

We are currently working on getting the auto ship-confirmation working again. I suspect the first few people to receive their Cera's will be in for quite a surprise when they see the mysterious package at their front door, since they may not get a warning that it is on the way... Although this will be resolved soon, if this is an issue for anyone, please e-mail me at carlo@thermovape.com and I will make sure you get notice.

Tim, Travis, Will and the rest of the production team are hard at work getting your Ceras out the door. You can also imagine Jeniffer and Zeki's schedule as they are constantly replying to e-mails and answering phones all day, seven days a week to answer any and all questions. Big ups to the TET team for making this all possible. :clap:

Hang in there, FC. The Ceras are on their way!

you mean I was being rude? sorry I saw the people flaming about videos but that was before they were shipped and there was a very heated discussion going on about the whole shipping thing, I figured now that that's died down it'd be nice to see some videos.

No, sorry, not at all. Some folks got mighty rude behind TV videos though. Given that going out of the way to make half a dozen or more 'on demand performances' (IMO the coolest videos ever by a maker??) some are not satisfied on one end and some damning you on the other for the effort. A can't win situation at some angles, and not IMO all that serious since about two weeks from now we should be swimming in fun self made videos?

And as a practical matter, TV's former star is off on other projects and computers and other gear got kind beat up, everything looks new to me, musta been a mess. I'm not even sure they have the cameras and stuff replaced. They've been kinda busy with other stuff, card games, pizza, watching the game, you know the drill?

Sorry to have not been clear enough, that seems to be happening lately......

Nice, you bet. Expected, not really.
