If God is the answer, then the question is wrong
Or as I said Vapout
Not to be rude but I think I suggested VapOut before you did
Or as I said Vapout
I do apologise
Just checked, as I did many times before I originally posted it, not sure what happened there but I again apologise
edit: I do like VapOut
Greetings everyone!
I just got the news I have been waiting for, well almost. The cap manufacturer just let me know he is in the final stage of setting up the tooling for production. He offered to get me some additional caps sent out very soon so I can begin fulfilling some of the first orders while he puts the final touches on the tooling. I am really excited to get these assembled and out into the world! I also should have the dugouts on the store next week.
Also, we need to decide on the name for the dugout. My favorites so far are VapPac and Dynastash, but would still entertain suggestions. I would like to decide the name before I list them in the store.
Last, I'm in Orlando for a couple days. If anyone is around here, I might have a demo unit that needs some love.
Cheers!
George
@VapCap, what is the likelyhood that these will be ready for shipping by xmas? I am contemplating getting a woody vapcap but thought of grabbing a couple of regular ones for xmas gifts with the same order (international shipping).
Would this be likely, or a little touch and go given you are waiting on parts, have pre orders to fill etc?
Since I am the Grand Inquisitor this morning, can i also ask if the blackwood will always be available, or will you be changing up the wood options with each batch?
Thanks.
although it may seem like just a piece of metal, the effort involved in its development and creation is substantial.
Bring on the Rockstar! or maybe even a Redbull.
I'll be working late these next few nights putting together more parts and getting ready for the first semi production run of caps to arrive. Right now it looks like I will receive enough caps to fulfill all the VapCap originals ordered before August 8. Maybe more, I am not sure how many for sure are coming. I have also been told I should be receiving the first actual production run before the end of the month. So this means if all goes well I should have almost all of the orders on their way by the first or second week in December and hopefully sooner.
I am taking pictures of the dugouts tomorrow and hope to get them online by the end of the week. I am still struggling with a good name for these things. I think they are simply too awesome to just call them dugouts, but there just isn't a name that is "clicking" for me. They will all have a magnet, so it will be easy to remove a hot cap, or to use it for a stand to hold your vap within reach, or even stick it to your fridge or inside your toolbox or lunchbox lid.
Anyway, I wanted to share the good news.
Cheers,
George

not far off the topic but is this the same news for the pyrovap?OK,
let's address these good questions one at a time.
At this point, with the news I've received from the company assisting me with the development of the tooling to make the caps being nearly complete, and the caps being the most difficult part to make, I mean really, the aspect ratio meaning the wall thickness (0.004" or 0.01mm) relative to the diameter (0.393" or 10mm ) is way outside the normal range for these type of parts. I have been working on this design for over 3 years and although it may seem like just a piece of metal, the effort involved in its development and creation is substantial. So, I feel pretty good about these being in production and ready to ship by the beginning of December if not earlier.
Please understand I feel compelled to follow the first come first to ship protocol.
The Woody's may take a week or so longer since I will be coordinating with @Ed's TnT for these, but I don't see any issues here.
The blackwood will likely be available for a while as well as the cocobolo since they are both good quality hardwood choices for this application.
Since this is a new product, you can expect changes and improvements to continue along the development way, so to everyone out there, Please send me comments and feedback so I can continue the evolution and improvement of the VapCap.
Making the absolute best vap is my goal!
Cheers,
George
