So the purpose of these boards is not for retailers to have transparent communication with their fanbase community? I know that's why I'm here. The more insular people behave on the behalf of retailers, the more it appears these forums have a lot of industry insiders lurking. That's a shame. We just want information.
When the manufacture does initiate communication on a subject, the manufacturer should have enough tact to field those questions without making the forum members feel disregarded and ignored. That's bad form. It's not what I expect from any company, I am glad TV addressed my inquiry, and I really feel the rest of you should leave it at that; because anyone else in my shoes shouldn't be blown off either. I would stand up for anybody else in this same situation.
You are trying to make a company responsible for YOUR feelings? Please . . .
looking forward to getting that!No, anybody who asks a question about a product that a manufacturer has announced should receive an answer. Is that a simple enough statement for you? Because I think that's a universal truth and I would stand up for you, t-dub, if some manufacturer saw fit to ignore a question you asked about an announced product. Whether it bothered you or not, it would bother me. It's in bad taste is all, and the point is being belabored by continual challenging of this common sense principle that universally applies. There is good PR, and bad PR. Glad TV cleared things up. Thanks guys! I do think it would have been awkward for them to have not; to be clear.
It is in their own self-interest to be here, satiating the fanbase. After all, their competitors are doing likewise. It's called healthy competition for our business. Their presence here amounts to (an effective) passive marketing strategy. And I am not knocking that. I fully support that. Just pointing out the mutual, symbiotic relationship that should be fostered by both parties here. And there is nothing wrong with anybody asking any question about any announced product, and then expecting a reply. No matter how reserved it may be, no answer amounts to ignoring the people you are here to ultimately sell products to. Per FC, retailers, if they create a product page (as TV has done here), they are supposed to be "prepared for a deluge of questions". Being prepared for questions means being prepared to answer them. Part and parcel, to avoid understandable frustration.
Thank you Jam, I do stand corrected on that. And definitely glad TV responded. If they choose to continue utilizing this valuable venue to reach out to their customers, I hope they continue that commitment to answering questions about products they've announced, even if/when those answers must be vague, or less than fully satisfactory. That's a-ok by me...
Do you have any experience with the TV aluminum mouthpiece? It's looks super-stylee, that's for sure. Too bad there's not a way to create a mouthpiece with Delrin sandwiched in between an inner and outer coating of aluminum, as a means of insulating/blunting the heat.Finally back to the fun stuff.
For a while there I thought I was having Thanksgiving with the family......
The drip tip is really just a 510 drip tip. To see what's out there, google "drip tip" and select images only.
Tons.....try "long drip tip" "glass drip tip" you will have quit the selection.
Oh, fighting family is a healthy thing, better then keeping the feeling bundled up.
Cheers,
A-ha. Looks like I see a Pure-flow in my future...
Thank you for the helpful tip.

A quick, misplaced slip of my tongue. Thank you for keeping it clear for everyone; myself included.
Does the Pure-flow filter happen to be removable; which would essentially turn it into either a Pure-flow or a Smooth-flow? Unfamiliar with both devices, I thought I'd see if TV went to the effort making the filter modular; in keeping with their engineering principle.
Do you plan to use the filter with the T1, or will that be for use with a REV device? I understand TV's take on it is that the filter is better for the Rev, but do some people find it a good addition to the T1, if used with the proper technique?
Due to the air restriction of the pure flow, it is my understanding that it will only work on a rev/dart/omi-cart. I think the smooth flow benefits both, but is best for T1/Evolution. They are spendy for what they are, but there is no reason they won't last forever with proper care. Note; I don't suggest use of these with omi-carts unless you modify it.
