so, although you've gone through all these iterations, and prototypes, and everything, and have built a whole crowdfunding and marketing portfolio for everything, and have hit the ground running for the entire concept and company, yet, you still don't even know if and how it can perform at the proper "enthusiast/connoisseur" expected vaping temperatures, nor how it performs in other aspects other than just cloudage, at those temps...? that's quite the gamble...
i mean, don't get me wrong - i understand you've figured out a bunch of it on paper, and through testing and hypothesizing certain aspects, but, specifically in the vaporizer industry, in this age, you need to know a vape's true performance before putting everything on the line for it, because in this industry, theres such an enormously vast number of variables and factors that effect the experience, and many times, when a vape company doesn't fully grasp their product's performance and tune it towards what the community wants and demands, nor know for sure that it's a pleasant experience at those temps (such as flavor dropoff, foreign tastes at higher temps due to specifically used materials, could be good cloudage yet taste roasty and not pleasant, harshness of the vapor whether thats the temp/heat or just the sharpness or traits of the certain vapor particles that vape produces, unnoticed unbalanced airflow or too restrictive and not conducive towards good inhalation pulling and performance building, drawspeed too easily affecting performance and causing it to either combust too easily or cool it down too much and make it not perform enough what its supposed to, and i can literally keep on going and going...), and usually ends up with either the device's popularity failing pretty rapidly, and users just ignoring it after they witness a couple videos of people using one, or ends up screwing up the reputation of the entire company, which can be possibly redeemed down the line if said company fixes their mistake by releasing an actually good performing device and learning their lessons from the past, but even then, it can be difficult to gain the community's trust, respect, and attention again.
and im not saying all of this to bash you guys or anything... im trying to give you a wake up call, and alternative perspective of why you're getting these kinds of reactions in this thread. of course the whole crypto/nft thing is a huge part of it as well, but seriously, i guarantee you 90% of the people here would ignore all that and not even care about it and still support you guys 100% if you at first (or even later on after figuring it out and making a proper proto at the correct temps), just shared a complete prototype that can actually perform to it's full potential, and show everyone that it can actually rip - i bet you most of these people would not be giving you as hard of a time right now, and would be cheering you on... sure, there'd still be people being skeptical and cracking jokes about the whole crypto stuff, but theyd still all have your back, because that's what this community cares about; performance. plain and simple. so really; i think you were just too hasty by posting the way you did... if you were honest up front and just teased what was to come, but said that you still don't know how it's going to perform yet, cuz you haven't used one with proper temps yet, then it'd be more understandable, but up until that last post you made finally revealing videos - everything you had been telling all of us had been misleading due to it all not being based on an actual proper-working proto that can actually perform at vaping temps. but i am curious and intrigued how all of this is going to turn out, and i hold out hope that this turns out to perform well... it'd be pretty interesting to see this kind of market model play out.... anyways, just thought i'd throw in my 2 cents, and hope that you're able to get the company off the ground to actually see if this vape can be a worthy option for the market....
