Ah, the well-traveled edition! Hope it gets sorted soon! Edit: Got an email update that US shipments will start on May 20th and are expected to all be out before end of the month.

By carriers, they're referring to UPS, USPS, FedEx, DHL, and the like rather than the business, so I think from a business' standpoint it's just selecting the carrier that has gone with whatever option runs cheaper each month. It's more complicated but I don't think that crazy since there's...

So if im looking for one recycler to rule them all, so to speak, would the Influx (or mini Influx) be the go to? I don't currently have a ton of room and all my glass from years ago is in storage but the Influx is drawing (no pun intended) interest. I like the vortex action and the idea of...

I have exclusively used the cup for storage to transport the charger, cord, brush, and maintenance items. I will probably use it as a cup when I go down to our place by the water but who knows. In other news, my silicone mouthpieces picked up scent that lingered as I was testing out the toasty...

No. Tarrifs are on the cost of goods, not the number of packages. No way around it. The fee is not collected by Brenyo, it is collected by customs who calculate based on the value of goods and require your payment on that to them before they release it into the US.

The bag is from a different brand that sells leather goods and part of their "membership" package, to be clear, not something from Tafée. Sorry if that was confusing. I still have the original puck at the moment. They said that they were sorry but I had to return this to them first (at their...

I cannot recall what page but I recall reading about this in one of the posts from mid to late last year. It can damage the sensor or the oven to have it run for too long without air flow. If it is cutting off after 3 seconds as intended then I think you are ok but, yeah, I definitely wouldn't...

They are cleaned after they are machined according to one of the recent YouTube videos he did, however for mine I just did an iso wipe on the inside and put some iso on a qtip to wipe down the teeth which only took a few minutes.

It's been covered in the last couple of pages so this is my last comment related to the tariffs, but 150% is on top of the retail value for items with China as the manufacture country of origin. So the roughly $250 I paid will be subject to potentially $375 in tariffs ON TOP of the $250. $625...

Okay! I have read every page of this thing and my Bowle showed up yesterday. A couple of quick things... Around page 170 I think, someone was complaining that they didn't like drinking from plastic and prefer a can. AFAIK all cans have plastic lining on the inside these days so you're still...

The reality for me is that I have to stomach the idea this is possibly a $500-600 device all in. No idea how long this tariff nonsense will continue and if it manages to keep in place semi long term it's going to be a similar cost to the main release with the aluminum heat shield. I hope it...

As much as that would suck i would still pay it. It'll be an expensive-ass heat shield but full Ti would justify it for me.

Thats a little beast 😍

I've run my grurple anodized first batch Tempest through my ultrasonic cleaner without issue for a year plus at least once a month and there's been no damage to the anodizing or device. Someone earlier in the thread got me worried it would cause a problem with the anodizing, but I have not...

I imagine it would be prohibitively expensive due to the raw dimensions. Probably $500+ ea for gr5? It would start as a solid blank rod before cutting and you're paying for all that material iirc.
