    Computer nostalgia

    Yeah, my original Apple II had problems. My power supply shorted out and turned black a couple of days after I got it. The technician at the store where I bought it thought that was pretty funny, for some reason... People were a lot more forgiving back then. After all, it was obviously a...

    Yes, it kinda sucks that I just missed the kickstart, so I cannot afford to get a colored titanium. But I'm effectively an investor anyway. If they needed my money to help develop it and get it to market, then they should have taken it when I first offered it, and given me the same deal as all...

    The Grasshopper

    I cannot speak for the others, but I don't "hate" them. If they tell us clearly what's going on, and what changes, if any, they made to the GH after their initial reviews and videos were posted, then there would be no need for further worried speculation. We might not like what we hear, and...

    Well, if it is patented, then nothing is stopping anyone from printing one for their own use, if they could obtain the model. They just couldn't sell it.

    The Grasshopper

    But, you know, if they'd make the original heater design public, people could eventually print their own if they really wanted. Or even improved versions, if time and money were no object. Presumably, 3d printing technology will only improve over time, right? If they did degrade the...

    Buzz, you may well have the best Grasshopper that will ever be made. :rofl::nope::doh:

    Pay extra money for something that performs as well as the posted videos and reviews when I ordered my unit? Hang on: can anyone tell me what is the definition of "bait and switch?" I must be missing something, here...

    The Grasshopper

    I agree. I also purchased my unit based on the review and posted videos. Probably most of the pre-orders were the same. I am sure it was their intention that people would assume that their units would have the same performance. So, yes, it would be unfair and dishonest if they have...

    In any case, we may not be able to achieve the same clouds in the video. They never made any specific promises about it, so you can't prove they are delivering a suboptimal product. I suppose most consumer products are inherently suboptimal compromises. It's just that, most of the time...

    But possibly not the same throughput. Or maybe it won't maintain the target temperature as well depending on the rate of airflow.

    The Grasshopper

    I agree. It is entirely possible that we will not receive units that perform as well as the original design.

    The Grasshopper

    Sorry, but I do not agree that any company or individual has a right to "keep stringing people along", regardless how little respect they may have for those people's character or ability to make rational judgements. "Stringing people along", even if it is "for their own good" is just plain...

    Yeah, but maybe their supplier was having trouble delivering finished Ti bodies to spec?

    Amazon already gave me a shipping date next week.

    Don't give them any ideas... :shrug:

    The Grasshopper

    Frankly, holding back shipment of a product which was already bought and paid for kind of proves that the complaints made were not defamation. They have a contract, and they are required to fulfill it. If they wanted to take legal action against an individual(s) for defamation, that would be...

    Maybe the first couple of pages? :brow:

    The Grasshopper

    Those are all valid points, assuming that the GH does ship in the April/May time-frame. That was my expectation when I placed the order. It was not my expectation that my pre-order was speculative. Just that I would have to wait a little bit longer for it to ship. If it was speculative, then...

    The Grasshopper

    I agree that Grasshopper is wrong to have charged my credit card when they don't even have a confirmed shipping date yet. Many reputable companies chose to wait until a product has entered the shipping process before charging. As it is, by the time we know for sure if our vaporizer will ship...

    Hey, maybe Rachett can make a horse head shaped holder/charger for it, with a socket on the top of the head? :-)
