We are new to this forum but wish to clear concerns and cofution related to the Indica. At the same time, we want to send our appreciation to all who requested our responses updates and added unstated factors regarding our delayed release. First, If you haven’t read all the links and strings, you'll find that we have modified the Indica's design to answer some of your member's most practical concerns previous of the product's release.
Here are a few examples, keep in mind that the vast majority of suggestions have been digested and either caused us to redesign or not based on what we considered a lesser improvement.
1) The chamber door was originally a hinged mechanism that did in fact, block the filling procedure. We have since replaced this door with an entirely removable cover which allows for an unobstructed filling opportunity. We are working on a magnetism option with reverse polarity to allow the cover not to be lost when filling. This device will be available shortly.
2) Regarding the Launch date, we need to apologize for our roll over dates. As we made many changes, each caused for a new tooling to be modified or ordered. Each day has been an exciting and necessary challenge that faces us, but others have brought us to dead ends. Either way we have had the opportunity to research outward and own some far reaching technology. Regarding launch/ shipping dates, we are beginning assembly overseas. Our demand for the Indica through distributors, far surpasses it's original number. At this time, we plan to airfreight 15,000 to 25,000 units to our California warehouse by mid August, and or shortly there after.
3) Related to the issue of size and stealthiest, The Indica is truly one of the smallest devices that allows for accurate vape temperatures, reasonable chamber as well as camouflage design. When placed in it's velour stash bag which is used for it’s protection, the bag also allows for added storage of your preferred refills and assorted accessories that might be desired.
4) The vape range was determined by several sources but did include this forum. We used the facts and then worked hard to limit the high end heat to avoid any room for combustion.
I would like to pose a question to the most knowledgeable first in the pursuit of knowledge and secondly to determine if we need to modify our heating limitations. It has been brought to my attention, that some of the dispensaries are suggesting 405 F for the strongest and highest dose of THC. Personally, I believe that there is mixed combustion with the thick vapor out put, which , may reduces the THC extraction. Any one with knowledge regarding high temperature vaping, please feel free to email us with the facts. We're awaiting input to determine if this is will then effect the current or future design/performance. If implemented, it should not delay the current ship dates.
5) Following your posts, we have adjusted the stainless steel components to ensure that the air lines flow through satinless including the metal moded cap that is inhled upopn which is now molded in satinless steel as well. Here are seveeral cleaning sugestions that will keep your Indica working on a day basis just like it's first day out of it's wooden box.
a) First make sure the screen is removed and replaced new atfer 7 to 10 chamber fills. I have used this without the screen and been equally pleased but resin is more likly to close the air line channel near the chamber itself. We also suggest you use the Pipe cleaner every 5 refills to keep the channel clear. Though the chamber can hold over 0.4 g of smokable product. We suggest that you reduce the maximum in the chamber to 0.20g to allow for better air flow and to keep your herbs fresh and moist. Larger quantites, though they still work will take added mixing with the pick, every 10 draws.
I would like to cover several other comments on your forums, but I'm out of time today. I will likely add more tonight or tommorow and begin anwering voleyed questions as they arrive.
Again I want to thank all of you for your contribution through the development of the Indica and look forward to your unfiltered thoughts, wishes and concerns.
