Hey, Dan, hope your finals went, or are going, well.
For the what is the most important factor when deciding on a dry herb vaporizer, I cant tell if performance - vapor output is 15.7% or 32.6% &, & then what is the other one as there is no color key for it.
I have several questions:
1. How much does the SP weigh either with or without the rubber shield? And how much does the MP weigh?
2. Why not a silicone shield instead of rubber? I'd pay a few dollars more for silicone as it's a nicer material & has a nicer feel.
3. The SP uses 19/22 glass, correct?
4. How long from end to end is that double jointed stem you used in your last livestream?
TIA!
performance - vapor output at 15% and performance at 32 % were the same choice, I just changed the wording which had the consequence of splitting the pie that way. performance by far was the most popular answer to that one
in response to these questions:
1. Not sure, I can weigh the 2nd SP prototype and get back to you, probably will just edit this post
2. The second prototype has a rubber shell that was overcasted on the body, but we are getting a silicon sleeve in the next version with a few dimension modifications and a different durometer which should make it more snug around the body.
3. we are designing the SP to work with both US 19/22 and ISO 19/26 standards. There is a crazy amount of variation among manufacturers or even between batches which make charting a metal taper a bit challenging for full compatibility, but our goal is to be compatible with as many stems as possible. we have some ideas on how to increase compatibility, but thats all I can say about that right now.
4. 100 mm I believe
I've been browsing this thread for a while (and lurking these forums for a while as well) and after seeing the progress you've made so far on the Mod/StemPod I couldn't help but pre-order! I've been looking for a battery powered vape to compliment my SB Jr. and I think this may just be it! The tipping point was the people you've chosen to beta test the StemPod; all great choices to help fine tune and deliver a great vape. Looking forward to getting this bad boy in my hands!
Thanks for the support! These dudes have been in my DMs since I started this project basically, and have shown that theyre passionate and knowledgeable, and most importantly, can describe the good and bad aspects of their devices very clearly, which is important for a closed beta test.
I agree with Dan it is expensive. I sent beta models out to maybe half a dozen members. Some of those actually sold the units after the buzz died. They cost me at least $50 each not including time.
The feedback was priceless and got the Touch rolling. One word of caution and this was told to me by one of the moderators here, FC is good for sales of maybe 200 units then nothing. I was totally surprised by the lack of word of mouth or other action but after about 150 units I have seen nothing from FC.
The plan to move betas around is a great idea and very cost conscious.
Good to see you in the thread man! I've heard similar things about the scale of FC sales, our plan to overcome that is to also have a strong presence on reddits' vaporents sub and waxpen sub (since box mods are so common there). I tried to run a facebook ad campaign but it got taken down pretty much immediately because of the subject matter, still looking for good ways to advertise to non-enthusiast customers (though we only want relatively knowledgeable users at first for healthy growth)
i wanna rip clouds like you do on IG ! 
!) from abroad cause the differents strains and concentrates and cause the differents usage styles. I understand it will be expensive to do that!
