We're here to fuck shit up.
I didn't order a colored Ti model, but I've been very interested in seeing them since their announcement. I'm curious whether the Ti itself will be anodized or if it is a sprayed on coating. The images they showed pictured a brilliant ruby red color which is almost impossible to create through electrical or heat anodization of Ti.

Yes he told me they will anodonized, in the context of saying it should be fairly simple

I got the update email as well. June it is.

Surprised no one has gone Brad Pitt ('Seven') with the box cracks.

Edited to add: And I bought an extra battery with my initial order. :\

and yet another kickstarter failure:

http://observer.com/2015/04/did-the...botch-production-or-blow-the-cash-on-mojitos/

haven't seen any IndieGoGo articles, yet ... i do find these experiences interesting ... it's harder than it looks

I find it odd that the article writes that backers are unable to take legal action but fail to even mention if that's the case for those that pre ordered off their site. Orders from their site do not fall under Kickstarter rules correct?

Just taking a stab at an answer here, but I would think that once the actual post-Kickstarter pre-order process begins, they would not be subject to the same rules, and would be subject to enforceable rules of commerce. If legit, Kickstarter status becomes moot if one rightly can assume that production has begun and aimed out the door to the end user.

The point is somewhat moot to my view because they couldn't reasonably skip the backers and sell outright orders and pre-orders. It would completely undermine their credibility, permanently. Obviously, people would call scam on that. If things got that bad (and that's highly doubtful with GH), the company goes down for the count, and backers and customers both end up losing (no real enforcement possible). They have all the parts, it's just a matter of assembly, supply chain, and ultimately the performance of the vape.

Edit: I do want to tip my hat to Trevor for the updates. He's actually done pretty well at that balancing act between being concrete and open-ended, which is far from easy to do. Engineers and geeks love hard numbers to analyze, but marketing people understand what people want. I think they've covered both those bases pretty well. There's only so many ways to say 'almost there'. So congrats GH!

If they have an awesome product and great customer service they should do very well. Patiently waiting for the FC Friends to test this product out. Hoping that June will be the month for all you guys.

If June comes and goes and no product arrives, I would start questioning things.

You are right, I hope it doesn't come to that because I'm really looking forward for it this summer as it's my last quarter before I graduate from college.:rockon:

If they haven't started shipping SOME before June then they're outright liars, cause they said they've built some already...Even if they don't have ALL of them out by the end of May, they should have SOME shipped.

Even with built units, only they are in a qualified position to decide when the shipping process will begin, for whatever reason/s they deem appropriate and doable.

I'm just trying to think of mods already... A special GH wt (home unit and portable).... A pen cap that can actually write for those stealth occasions... I wonder if an extended battery case/cover could be made...

Well, they have previously said they were going to do rolling shipments, shipping out as soon as they finished units. So, if they're building units now, they should ship soon. If they don't, then something they have told us before is incorrect.

This is according to your interpretation and presumed mandatory outcome. We have seen many interpretations expressed on this thread, so I guess that yours is as good as any.
