Greetings!
As it is clearly evident by now, we have officially launched our "M"
Here is a quick video to show a bit more of what this little gem is.
In case you don't want to watch the video (it is only about a minute if you didn't) here is a summary of what you missed.
The M is essentially an all SS version of the Ti Woody. 316 SS to be specific. This is one of the most corrosion resistant alloys. It has a SS tip, which will look familiar to some of those who have been part of the family for a while. This tip, has a SS CCD (the CCD for the new comers is the Circumferential Compression Diffuser) which is not adjustable.
It uses a very similar condenser tube, but will only have 2 oring grooves (unlike the new condensers on the Ti tipped units which have 3 so they can use a spinning mouthpiece) and even though it is modular and will fit with almost all other modular components, the Omnivap variable flow will not adjust properly with the SS tips.
We thought these would be some minor compromises to allow us to bring an extremely durable and (we think) great performing device to market at the lowest price.
This is a huge day for us here, and it has been an exciting one. We have been at work since 5am this morning and will likely be here till late as well as all weekend.
The goal was to have a bunch of these ready to go about a week ago, but as things go, we had a few challenges with some materials, cutters, and even a difficult to isolate positioning issue with one of our CNC machines. Turns out, one of the spindle belts was a bit too tight from the factory. All was put back into working order Wednesday, so we got right back to production for the M tips, and switched out finally Thursday to making M stems. Jason and I ran M stems into the night and got right back at it first thing this morning so we could have some to get out in the mail today.
Here is a handful of them.
So all in all, we were not only able to make up some ground in our prep, but were able to finish up a decent number of these, and as I am writing this, we are still filling up shiny green packages of happiness and will have a nice group of them in the mail today.
To add to that, we will be working through the weekend manufacturing, cleaning, assembling and filling more green packages with our goal to get as many shipped as fast as possible. This is a trying time for us, but in a very good way. We love what we do, and working the weekend making these is almost like going on a two day vacation.
So to summarize, we are very much looking forward to everyone's thoughts on the M.
Cheers,
George
