So did I curse this vape? Said I really dig it & want one, less than two weeks later BOOM - product implosion! Didn’t see that coming. Really frickin’ glad I’d not ordered a coil. Maybe should be glad I missed out on something that’s so fragile and impossible to replace; I mean, when the inventor/creator doesn’t even have a working one?
FC members who own this unicorn should feel very fortunate and use this tiny creature only on special occasions.
Dead InVerzion right on the cusp of page 50, what a fucking shame
Well all glass vapes are ultimately going to be kind of fragile, my FC buddy Bleach was just talking about this in his thread the other day about complications he’s gone through. I noticed his latest design eliminates the glass components.
It’s not totally impossible to replace these as I’m sending out two new housings this week to previous buyers. But it’s true I don’t really have anyone to build them for me right now. This has happened a few times before during this project. But it’s possible I could find someone else. I have a slightly refined design I would try on some new ones for another bump up in airflow. To be honest it wouldn’t surprise me if I hear from the glass shop today
Either way, InVerzion 1.7 is just one vape that’s already gone through many iterations to get to that stage. InV2 will pick up where that one left off. It just won’t be made of glass.
InV1.5 is actually the more durable platform since it uses my coil suspension arm which was a prominent feature that was inspired by quartz bangers. The original InV1 design and my idea to use ruby terp pearls was largely inspired by my dab gear. I’ve never had a 1.5 break ever, but I only ever sold one of them to my good buddy
@arb
I sort of have a feeling he’s still ripping that 1.5 right now as I type this, if you’re reading this one Arb, we miss ya buddy!!!
I still have a few extra 1.5’s and even a 1.4 floating around, eventually I’ll probably fill those housings with beads and post them in the classifieds.
I've got a InVerzion 1.7 on the way! An unsolicited offer came to me these last few days from someone that had noticed I'd been looking for one, same day as
@invertedisdead's bad news though unfortunately. Good timing for me though I guess :-/
Very sorry to hear about the production difficulties
@invertedisdead. Onward and upward with new ideas then? Don't be discouraged in the least! Mark me down for whatever else you've got on your plate next for sure. Although snagging things at the absolute last opportunity as they go out of production, and even then just by luck is kinda my thing lately i guess
I rather pick things up first hand if possible.
However, I'm still STOKED to have snagged this one and add to the collection and insert it into its rightful place in the timeline of vape development. Thanks for all the hard work you've put in on this thing
@invertedisdead, I'm stoked to give it a spin when it shows up this week.
I’m really stoked that was able to work itself out! I’ve truly been wanting to get one down to you for your vape museum; there’s a good amount of cool people like yourself that have been looking forward to rocking one for a while, so I’m disappointed that I couldn’t at least fulfill the bulk list of people who have been waiting. But I really appreciate the support and enthusiasm, it means a lot, ‘cause I’m definitely not throwing in the towel! In fact people that have bought a 1.7 from me can probably attest that I never stop sending them concepts for new things
Sad to hear. I used mine for a little while and absolutely loved it. Unfortunately, I had to discontinue use because some of the sandblasting on the joint started to wear off. Fortunately for me, I was able to reach out to
@invertedisdead to secure one of the last batch to replace it before they were all snatched up.
I think my older unit is salvageable but will require some careful sanding or some other sort of fix but I'm not that familiar with glass work. I've been meaning to attempt some sort of repair, but it'll probably be a long while (if ever) before I get to it.
If anyone's interesting in trying to resurrect it, it's yours for the cost of shipping from Canada. Here are some pics of the wear you'd need to address:
A very incredible and gracious offer from a really, really kind and awesome FC member! I know someone will take that offer up!
This one is from the Quartz 1.7 run too so these can even be safely torched. Perhaps the joint could be polished with a wet sand with silicon carbide paper.
These joints were supposed to be flame polished on those per the drawing, but the quartz shop somehow overlooked that.
Brutal seeing the discontinued tag on this but don't let it get you down too much! I'm beyond excited to see what other ideas you might come up with or just your continued input on DIY vape production. I'm not lucky enough to score one of these wonderful creations but I've learned a bunch reading this thread from design to manufacturing to just the great community we have here! All of the work you've done has value in that alone!
Damn that discontinued label definitely caught me off guard, I was going to post new renderings yesterday! I’m still kinda working on modeling these new ones though.
InV2 will look almost the same as the 1.7, but the fixed internals will be totally different. InV2 will have more mass, more usable surface area, new airflow routing, and a different take on HSA convection. InV2 will utilize “long path” mixing as seen in devices such as the Supreme, Volcano Hybrid, and the TinyMight; while retaining the same injector form factor.
, I am afraid @feralcomprehension , you now need a chippy,an engineer, and Santa to pay for it all........
