Hi Guys. Looking in quickly before Heading on up to the factory to supervise Production line set up.
Thanks for the Interest and words of encouragement!
Re: The blue Ones
We do plan to be offering different colour combinations as we swing into production. But the choice to go for basic black on the first production run seemed the safest choice. Watch this space... we'll let you know when the first coloured ones will hit the market!
Re: USB Charging.
Folks here are right. USB 2.0 is a standard World Wide 5V 500mA. Which is the set charge rate for our unit and is spot on the perfect charge rate for the internal battery.
We chose USB charging because of that universality. It meant we were shipping the same product world wide and it meant that access to charging was easy for 99% of the population.
And when compared to providing a proprietary charging system, it keeps our product cost lower so you get a better retail price.
Even if you don't have access to a computer USB port (and if you are reading this you probably do
) it's easy to find a USB adapter for home or car in just about any electronics shop.
We will also be offering our own branded wall charger in the near future.
Re: EU Distribution
It's in the plan, but will lag US distribution by a couple months as we are just beginning to lay the groundwork. In the mean time, If you are a European distribution house or smoke shop and I haven't contacted you yet. Please feel free to drop us a line!
Thanks
Andrew
