Phase3 Vaporizers

PHASE3
Manufacturer
Hey all, I'm a new member here to the forum and Z-tribe. I don't currently own any ZX gear but am eagerly awaiting both a ZX and ZXXL. I would love to also pick up a ZXL but I just don't think I can justify it being different enough for my usage. I feel extremely fortunate to have snagged one of the ZXXL's and when I saw the ZXL's come up again my VAS (or ZAS?) hit hard. But my wife who is very understanding of my affliction has put her foot down on this one unfortunately.

I truly thought there would be more people lining up to seize the opportunity who might have otherwise missed the ZXXL (that was my plan). And it makes me sad to see they didn't go faster and has me wondering why people aren't seeing the value in what seems to me to be a truly superior material. Do we need to do more work as a tribe in spreading the word somehow?

I really vibe with the whole Phase3 philosophy and really want to see the brand (and of course the man himself) succeed, as I'm sure everybody else here does too. I think it would be very sad to see the Z line fade away but I also understand that you have to do what you need to do to keep things ticking over @invertedisdead.

I can only speak for myself but as my vaping journey progresses I find that I don't want to compromise on anything. Which of course has lead me to here. I live in a country where we are way behind the USA in terms of legalisation but it's definitely coming. If you could tap into younger markets like ours then I'm sure there would be many people who also vibe with your philosophy, and I wonder if shipping direct to them from China could perhaps subvert the tariffs somehow and keep the Z line alive? (I'm no expert on the matter though so please correct me if I'm wrong).

No matter what I know that there is a lot of love out there for Phase3 and invertedisdead himself. I'm sure people here will always support you and your company but I wonder if there's anything more that can be done to reach new people so they can also see your vision? I'm too old for most social media but it seems Tik Tok is where all the cool kids are doom scrolling these days, just a thought.

Apologies for the long post but the thought of the Z line fading away makes me so sad it inspired me to write this, even though I'm yet to experience any of them for myself. If that isn't a testament to the love out there for them then I don't know what is. And as someone who is aspiring to design my own Zirconium Ceramic TED, this has me concerned that I'm wasting my time and energy on a dream that can never come to fruition 😔

Thanks so much for supporting PHASE3!
Your favorite vape companies favorite vape company :lol:
I sincerely appreciate you buying your tickets and can't wait to have you riding the Z-Train very, very soon!!

Sorry I've been trying to reply to this for a while, but I always end up feeling like I'm saying too much.

It is what it is friend, the main goal with the Z's was just to follow through with one of my vape ideas and on that note I achieved what I was trying to do.

Gemstone ball vapes have gone on to have the biggest impact on this industry that I've ever seen, and I've been an outspoken member here since 2012.

I'm going to keep building Z's or some variant of them for as long as I can, because I truly believe in the vapor quality and the 5 star feedback from long term veteran enthusiasts.

But no, unfortunately the truth is most shoppers won't see the added value in what I'm doing.
What people see value in is those lower priced white label import kits all the retailers are pushing now that the gemstone ball vape concept is proven and popular. :wave:


I think about releasing a hot stick / clicky cap / TED pretty often because that category is popular and I feel like I could offer something pretty unique. I posted a few threads with concepts like the PHASE3 Puritan; but so far I've only ever released a prototype 8MM cooling stem a few years ago. Honestly it's not a category of vape that I really reach for but I can't ignore the fact that it seems to be what everyone wants.

One day I'll get bored and at least drop the updated 8MM advanced cooling stem as it seems like there's always an interest in that kind of stuff, and I truly believe my revised design solves the unique problems that I see not being addressed in all the other cooling stem designs.

Sincerely appreciate the compassion and honesty, it's so cool to see people in the world who still care!

That suck !
What's the consequence for the ZXL current orders ?

No real consequence for buyers other than the wait, the consequence for me is that I might end up not making any dollars off the project to invest into other ideas which I suppose could be considered a waste of time. I'm hoping it doesn't go down like that.

Hiya! I made a rip vid with my ZX and a new bubbler i just got :)


Absolutely stunning, friend, thanks so much for posting.

Always a treat to see some real heady glass!
Appreciate you supporting innovative glass artists, it helps out our industry peers and there's really nothing more enjoyable than ripping a top tier Grade A vape through a really cool piece of glass made with love and intention!

Hi

Any update on the ZXXL handles? Samples come in?

Nothing yet friend but rest assured I'll be posting an update as soon as I've got one.

I've been waiting since last week to hear an update on those and the ZX ceramics as I know release dates aren't my major strength, but I had full intention that they would be in at the end of last month as per my contract details with my ceramic producer.

Hoping to hear a production update this evening.
As always I sincerely appreciate everyone's patience and cooperation and hope everyone is bubbling away on something premium this fine morning!

Salute to everyone riding that Z Train and much respect to everyone kindly waiting to get on board very soon!!
