@JyARz I contacted Antonio, the guy behind the hemp plastic for 3D printing and made mention of your great product. Let's see if we can make this help Jyarz happen quickly... May I be first in line for each of every size as soon as they brecon available in hemp printed plastic!!!
For me tep, I know you have been enthusiastic about hemp technology but I honestly feel this is a step backwards...
What I LOVE about the current product line is that all plastics are recycled from milk jugs. In my mind, that holds more value than making a product out of hemp [or any other novel material] just because it is available.
I'm curious Aldo's position on this.
I'm all for hemp products but not when it replaces recycled products. I'd also hypothesize it would also add to the end cost for consumers, and I would not be willing to pay more just to tote nonrecycled hemp.
Just my 2 cents, I'm sure others feel differently.
I had an issue with my Satchmo which has actually been going on for months if not over a year at this point... which I've been far too lazy to resolve. The lid would sometimes sit fine, sometimes I'd come back and the lid had popped off and wouldn't seal properly. It finally bothered me enough to message Aldo about it, and he got back to me pretty quickly letting me know it was one of the "bad batch" Satchmos from a long time ago (before he added the little felt circle on the side). He had me send shipping info to the support email and had my new Satchmo shell in the mailbox yesterday. Gave it a quick wipe, threw my glass from the old one to the new one, and it's perfect. Thanks a bunch Aldo!! Could you recycle the old casing if I cleaned it up and sent it back? I noticed you didn't mention what to do with it in our communication.
Did not want to give impression preferring one over the other, using recycled plastic Definitely always be a big plus. Maybe offering the possibility of hemp printed ones would be welcomed by customers who are not so fond of any plastic, would possibly also attract customers purely as a novelty item?
When it comes to popular vapes, I would say look into the longest portable vaporizer threads ;-) that for sure is one of the fastest ways to see what is popular around these woods
Aldo, may I suggest one thing, and one thing only in this regard...
Here in Europe (I know this is Fc...Sorry) a lot of people use large papers to make their joints, the still most preferred way of consumption for most here...
I think a classic that is just a bit higher in dimension, as to suite one or several pre-made joints(and I have a feeling it might actually suite a vapcap, and maybe a yokin), is something that is really missing. I know this is the only constructive criticism I ran into introducing Jyarz to my friends.
Keeping my eyes open to those new products.
When talking bags. I think one of the big advantages of my Jyarz is the ability to transport nugs safely... Including safety of the nugs, as in not crushing them.
Aldo, you're missing the facts that jyarz are light-proof and not 'clear'. So, not only do nugs degrade slower, they are also in a jar that when people walk by they're not like "wow, that's a big jar of nugs" lol. I don't think people's requests for bigger jars was because they were looking for portability, I mean who wants to roll around with an oz of nugs?! Don't take this the wrong way, but I think the larger jyarz would have more success than the pouch.When portability isn't a value, I think the extra cost of buying a JyAR diminishes rapidly. There are many good options for large containers that basically sit on a shelf or table most of the time (Mason:re being just one example (see above).

Take care
I'd like to drop a suggestion here if I may, I can't remember if I've suggested this before, if I did it would have been a long time ago...
Anyway, something that I really wish I had/could source is a jar (or JyAR) with a glass insert that has a divider in it, so that I could store more than one strain in the same jar, yet keeping the different strains separate. I often have multiple strains on the go at once, and it does my head in having so many little jars bouncing around my house.
It would be nice to have one jar where I could hold four different strains, but without mixing the different aromas. I'm thinking of a glass insert divided into quarters (like a pizza if looking from a birds eye view at the top of the insert. Jeez am I even making sense? Maybe I should draw it.... Lol
Peace
Yes, that's pretty much exactly what I'm thinking buddy!! Just couldn't word it right!
It's something I thought about a while ago, originally just looking for a standard glass jar with the 'pie wedges', but when I first got a JyArz, I thought it would be an awesome design to incorporate- multiple strains in one airtight, smell proof, lightproof, glass lined jar, with the aromas of each strain being preserved!
It would be amazing if you got on this idea (to me, anyway)!
Peace bro
Don't forget to brainstorm "Markers" for the various strains. Not much sense in storing 3 kinds but not knowing which is which
http://www.vapecritic.com/ is a good resource. There are others.Question for the community:
Can anyone point me to the list of top selling portable vaporizers (for flower, concentrates, etc)? I'm researching a potential product offering.
Thanks for any leads/links.

I was about to launch our IndieGoGo campaign toward funding the production of a new larger size JyAR. I've decided to pull the plug. There's been something holding me back for over a year and its finally become clear to me what it is. Up to a certain size, JyaRz offer a unique set of values that make the extra expense worth it. A lot of that value relates to the ability to offer a container that is designed for smell-proof portability. When portability isn't a value, I think the extra cost of buying a JyAR diminishes rapidly. There are many good options for large containers that basically sit on a shelf or table most of the time (Mason:re being just one example (see above).
So .... what next....
I see a very large unfilled need for all sorts of "JyARz" (I use the term very loosely) that support the odor-proof, storage and transport and consumption of cannabinoids. WE are deep into the design of some small, highly adaptable bags. We have in mind a whole series of other related products (more on that once we've made more progress).
For those who have waited so long for a new larger size JyAR I apologize for all the hemming and hawing! All I can say is I hope you enjoy the new products that we'll be bringing to market!
As always I appreciate all the support from all of you subscribed to this thread. I had no idea how valuable this group would prove to be when I signed in a few years ago - amazing!

Finally got my jyarz and I'm very happy. It's exactly what I've been looking for.
