It wasn't even this thread, it was the "shipping poll " thread. Which by its very title, lends itself to speculation....
Of course, there's an obvious solution if someone doesn't enjoy reading a bunch of posts- don't.
OK, let's all send good vibes to all of them!
I'll even take a pause from being critical.
I wish them all the best, and by extension, all of us the best!!
Just another day in Grasshopper Land....
I thought/hoped I would have stashed away my Solo by now. Oh well.
@kingfisher , sure, it's like how with software these days, "beta" has come to be just a synonym for publicly released software that still has some bugs and you are frustrated with it...
Sympathies @Grepper that REALLY sucks.
If you need a place to vent...you're soaking in it...
@Joel W. - Boulder is just about a mile high, not 8000 ft. Otherwise your explanation....was a good try.
Problem is, the GH is not an airtight container. I live at around 5000 feet, and when we travel...
Is there any evidence that they actually built a single thing shown on that site?
And I'm sorry, but I just have to: "Trevor has an exceptional understanding of engineering and flight systems, as well as startup management experience and a passion for business."
It reminds me of my 18 year old...
I'm also talking about campaigns where the level people pledge to is explicitly to be a beta tester. If you are raising money for a $400 device ( as an example), you might not be able to afford putting together a team, since they'll all need the hardware as well as software. People know they are...
I've done a bit of crowd funding, and there is nothing inherent to it that backers are necessarily going to be beta testers.
I have one device where the software used with it is still in beta after a year, but it's entirely functional and bug free, they just haven't added all the features...
What's really involved though? Answering emails, and if they aren't sure what to say, go ask Trevor?
It's not like they've even shipped enough of them that, even if they were ALL defective, someone couldn't at least reply to the emails in a day or two.
I can see follow through taking longer if...
There's no reason to think that the people who report on FC and reddit are not a representative sample of the total of units shipped.
In real life, sure, we don't know, but how likely is it that out of all those other ones we haven't heard about, no duds went out?
I wonder how GHL feels about...
Actually that was kind of my point when I brought it up, but I may not have worded it very clearly- just meant to point out a crazy rumor that was flying around, but I guess that kind of back fired...
Seems like if they actually went to China, that would be something they'd mention in their updates- they are working so hard to make this the best vape ever that they flew halfway across the globe to make sure...
The disconnect between "we discovered a couple of problems and corrected...
People on reddit talking about Trevor and the other guy having just got back from a trip to China to make changes to manufacturing.
What's that all about?
