The emotion behind this discussion is impressive. First, crowd sourcing a new product is tempting and the encouragement is truly appreciated. I've still got a lingering bitter taste for it though, but that could change at any moment.. One thing is clear, the future is unknown. I don't recall...

Friends at FC.. do you remember back in September when there some *interesting* things happened at Herbalizer headquarters, and then suddenly the founder and CEO (me) was gone? MODS: this writing belongs here, not in a different thread. This IS about the product and its warranty, and...

Haven't logged in for a couple months. And here we are in a row.. the three who gave Herbie its first real race around the track.

Nice brainstorming. I'm popping on and off line every couple days or so. I'm up in the northern Cali in Homboldt - ganja grower central. Man am I getting a nice overdue education on this miracle plant. So what I'm hearing is, a vaportherapy-only, halogen powered, fan-assist optional...

Brainstorming is much better when herbalized, don't you think? Just remember to writ that shit down! If Herbie were mobile around the house, in other words cordless, but not pocket size mobile, would that be a step in the right direction? Imagine, still a powerful home system, but not tethered...

Thank you for the welcoming :^) Not likely. The portable market is simply too saturated; because of the development costs it doesn't make good business sense to enter that market unless a name brand is first created and then leveraged, or the product is a super cheap Made in China deal. Herbie...

I AM BACK my friends! I got super busy packing up my gear and saying bye to friends in sunny San Diego, and am now traveling the country visiting friends, showing off Herbie, and building new alliances. Anyone want to sync up and has a couch to offer, PM me! I have good stories to tell...

The fan operation is understandably confusing due to the audible feedback, and what may seem like random behavior. The simple answer is that, the cooling fan turns on when needed, or a little sooner, and will remain on longer than needed. The reason the cooling fan turns on sometimes sooner...

Hello hello again. The positivity on this thread is really astonishing, it is quite enjoyable to read. I use my Herbie the same as you. If the cooling fan hasn't kicked on then you don't need to worry about it. I'm happy to hear you Love your clam! 1-2.) I've never seen the "fire in the...

Neh. The PID control algorithm was modified significantly because the system response is so non-linear. I can't imagine that it would need to be cleaned, but I also have not seen one after 12 months of heavy use. That's about right. Doesn't need to be exact. You're right.. the camera...

There is nothing to worry about with the epoxy dots. They are fully cured with zero possibility of outgassing. One function of the epoxy is to hold the temp sensor in its critical position. Ahhhh... a great question about unit to unit variability. Unfortunately the answer is yes, even with...

You are right, and there is a bit more to that story. The bags being sold now (or really soon) should fit securely on the bowl - a change was made. They should not leak out of the box, if they do then its a warranty issue. Herbie is freakin' durable. Its components are extremely high quality...

Why? And compared to what specifically is glass superior?

While I'm not opposed to glass, I don't see the benefit of it compared to other materials, except possibly for the aesthetic. If the materials are inert and do not outgass (e.g. glass, ceramic, stainless steel, anodized Al, etc.), then they physically cannot impart flavor. There should not be...
