If by controller you are referring to the temperature sensor, it is placed adjacent to the bowl and achieves an overall temperature accuracy of +/-3*C.
Hey Finchrock24,
In terms of the price point there are a few things we had to take into account such as the accumulated costs of R&D, marketing and retail markup. We are currently offering the units at a discounted rate for the pre-order.
In terms of the speed advantage, its all dependent on...
There is no specific European release date set for large distribution, although we currently have the capability to custom build 220V units. If you would like to know more, please contact us at info@bminnovators.com
Stay tuned for some great usage videos coming soon and don't forget to reserve...
GREETINGS TO ALL!
As of today the www.bminnovators.com site is now back up.
MEET THE ORACLE
A fresh take on Vapor production technology, The Oracle is the first and only commercially available Infrared Vaporizer in the world.
The Oracle's patent pending infrared chamber design reaches...
We decided to keep announcements to a minimum until we were completely satisfied with the finished product and able to launch a pre-order.
In the mean time, we also recruited an extremely talented marketing director who will have a significant online presence once the Oracle is released :D
Hey George,
It certainly is, we are glad to announce that the design is complete and will soon be revealed once the website has re-launched (by the end of the month).
The time has come. :ninja:
@talley - I read something along those lines which has to do with the curing and storage of your herb, although I have not read anything about damage caused in the infrared spectrum. After testing several other models alongside our unit we found no degradation in the vapor production...
@andrewburgess - As a matter of fact it would work quite nicely! Although for this unit we require a steady stream of air from the pump in order to vibrate the ball at its optimum stirring frequency. This ensures theres no uneven heating and we expose as much of the herb's surface area to the...
@Hippie, that will most certainly be the case. Most of the components such as resistors, capacitors will be surface mounted but we have some female power connectors on the back of the circuit which will be left through-hole for the added strength.
Hey Everyone,
Its been a while since our last update but I'm glad to say everything is moving along. Heres a picture of our prototype circuit in all of its glory.
Just as a side note, this circuit belongs to the digital version of the Oracle which we have decided will go into production later...
Thanks Mr. Smoke No More,
We are very happy with our hookah adapter as well, we decided to beef up each whip mouthpiece with two valves instead of ones which ensures no air leaks into the bag after filling as well as allowing multiple users to inhale simultaneously without interference. As for...
We were also excited by the idea of using aerogel as well, the top of the bowl is wrapped in a 2mm strip and held intact by some heat shrink. Just to note, we also use aerogel to insulate our main heating chamber, we use a 5mm version there because of the greater insulation demands.
This is a picture of the glass components we will be using, it includes our bowl on the left, hookah adapter in the middle, the bag connection on the right and the mouthpiece for the silicone hose at the bottom right.
Bowl: This is the chamber where your herbs will be while the unit is on. The...
All the manufacturing and assembly we do including metal forming and borosilicate production will be handled entirely in Ontario. At this point we are still deciding where to produce our circuits but rest assured it will be kept either in canada or the states.
We will be using bags similar to...
The closest we got to a safety/convenience mechanism involved using a pressure sensor somewhere in the air path. As the bag filled, the pressure inside the path would eventually grow until it passes a "set" value, triggering the unit to turn off. For the time being it was too difficult and...
