This thread has veered from objective criticism of the 2ZM to speculation muddled with drama.
Does anyone that is talking negative about the fit and finish actually have one of these in-hand? Or are these claims from snooping instagram?
Here are some close up picture of my device if anyone wants to point out the flaws. Reiterating: this is higher quality finishing than most of the wooden vapes I own.
I received one of the earlier units, and by Ryan's own account, he's not a skilled woodworker, but I think these pictures speak for themselves. Multiple different wood species butted up with very small tolerances.
Anyway... addressing some of the drama, I'm keeping my preorder. It's a long and bumpy road, with some delays and changes, but it's like buying a lotto ticket, and you might get something exciting at the end. Ryan has never straight-up taken my money and provided nothing in return. He has sat on my money for months, and he has under-delivered on occasion, but as someone else in these forums said, "I knew who Ryan was when I put my money in."
There is a reason he hasn't maintained many good relationships with vendors and makers. There is a reason RBT doesn't exist, and he's banned from these forums. There is a reason bringing in Yoosh to help with CS built confidence in the general community.
Keep this in mind if buying a lotto ticket.
The epoxy thing is concerning. Why didn't the design consider a notch/grove or something that doesn't require additional materials?
