As much as it pains me to say this,
@Hogni had two really excellent ideas in his last post. I betcha Adam would make y’all a custom design as a display prop, maybe do a trade? After all, if he had one of your coils to use, he’d be able to make your octopus standy-thing just perfect. See how well Hogni & I can help you spend your money? Free of charge! Right at the time, where I’m sure you are constantly re-investing in new stock and products. But there’s no disputing that a custom octopus
would be wicked!
And the tweezers would be cool especially if, instead of random dhgate quality, they were to Shane’s exacting standards and bore the 710 seal of approval. I’m thinking particularly of the silicone tips. It would be cool to have a trusted source of replacement tips for when they inevitably become grimy.
My thought on the SiC insert bidness is if fadespace is selling them for $120 and the super-cool sapphire and ruby “gem inserts” from Adapt Tech are considerably more $, then how do these prices fit into the 710Coils universe? I’m just saying that anything beyond quartz seems to be in the realm of serious coinage, and Shane has been clear about his mission to bring quality heaters & bangers at fair prices to the masses. I’m thinking the masses probably won’t buy many $400 inserts for their $45 bangers.
But then I think about what he’s done in those two categories in a fucking short time and the impact he’s made, and I think what the heck do I know? Who can say that he won’t be able to do the same thing with quality inserts made of engineered gemstones? I’ve been constantly astounded by Shane’s energy and drive in pursuit of his vision, so I’m not going to bet against him. It’s great to see the love the community has shown for a sincerely good guy!
