OK? Are we over the bump? We had good intentions but \Plan A would not work. Hope everybody understands now. This is Plan B.
It really did waterfall in the last couple of days. Great rapport with VapeNow, mutual trust and respect made this all possible. This isn't something hammered out between lawyers, just an understanding between friends, and a few e-mails later it's done. Bob's your uncle...
And every party gets something. Maybe we loose the most. The customer contact. It is something that we very much enjoyed, but became too much. How to answer each e-mail, and every one deserved the same PD treatment. I hated making that generic e-mail, how rude, never done such a thing. But that is what the PD world had become. No way to answer a flood.
And no way to make a PD, or even enjoy one, when there are more keystrokes than wood chips.
I started this to make a vape or two for us, then a few for friends. Not sell vapes, or be covered in paperwork and office work. I build ! I am a carpenter ... and other skills. I want to smell newly opened wood, and make metal into shapes it has never seen ... I want to build something, not sell it. This was never about money, but you must survive, if you can;t make a living at something... So rather than close the doors on Purple-Days we have taken a few steps in the right direction.
It has been observed that I have been on the edge of burn-out. I agree ! The last weeks have been the last of that. Either we did something, or quit. I said all along if it wasn't fun I would quit. I feel a certain obligation to go on, but I can't keep up, and something had to change. We view this as a possitive step for everyone.
@ any who think we lie: Sorry about the confusion and 'stutters' on the way to Phase Two of Purple-Days. We don't lie, but we did change plans. Again, you couldn't have bought what was never made or for sale (anywhere). We pride ourselves on honesty and you have hurt Pammy, I am a big boy and know you are wrong.
Contact us. You know how, I think.
Steps taken to test every single one, several times through the construction process (double checks on the entire circuit).
I know that this high of a demand after only a year on the market was unexpected, but also unexpected was the high stress of trying to meet demand in a timely manner and also deal with all the questions about delivery, special logos, different woods, etc. We've also seen these kinds of questions posted here, but I'm sure they haven't even been the tip of the iceberg compared to what Tom and Pam have had to deal with via emails.
