Hello from Sticky Brick Labs, sorry for the delayed response to this thread. I will do my best to catch up with all the questions and will be checking in often. I wanted to provide some basic info and then I'll try to answer any questions that have popped up and look forward to building a strong community.
- Sticky Brick Labs offers a lifetime warranty on all wood bodies and thirty days on the glass. The glass is Simax, and we will be posting some drop test videos we made of the glass. It's impressive. The glass is very thick and does not break easily. All glass is handpicked at Mountainglass in Asheville. The bodies are cherry and walnut, with plans to add at least one more domestic species n the coming months. All of our lumber is from my property and dried in our kiln or reclaimed from local projects. I have been talking to Snappo and we will be offering exotics later this summer. Our tentative plan is to keep ten exotics rotating as they are sold on our website. As we start off we will buy the blanks with Snappo but in the near future we will also offer custom work so you can pick your own blank and have it mailed to us.
- The finish is food grade and scent less. Each device is hand sanded and finished four times. We will have small bottles available on our website as the body should get some treatment every few months.
- Everything we make is done by hand. We do not have CNC or multi-axis machines, preferring our tried and true fifty year old table saw and block planes. (I do love my new belt sander though). While they are made by hand, we are taking the time to make each body very consistent. We will be making several new devices and our plan is to allow for interoperability between various bricks. There will be added, and temporarily unused magnets on The Brick for future add-ons. Our goal is to make a modular vaporizer system.
- All metal parts are medical grade stainless steel which will not corrode. Thanks to our beta testers we have moved to more permanently affix both pieces.
- I am a long time user and community member and this entire project is community driven. The glass from The Brick is indeed interchangeable with previous versions. We want to hear from you. What you like, what you don't, and what you want to see in the future.
Our initial product is The Brick and it will be available at Puffitup first with direct sales through our website following soon after. We are hoping for a late June release and on track currently. It will ship with a torch, five screens, and the fancy-schmancy lighted tweezers. We want to make it usable right out of the box but sadly shipping full torches is not permitted so you will need butane to fill the torch. All warranty claims will be handled directly through Sticky Brick Labs with our no hassle policy.
The response to the HydroBrick has been incredible and we can't wait to bring it to production. Designs are being finalized and we are approaching beta testing beyond a small group, but it will not be available until mid summer. The HydroBrick will be a standalone unit, though the rear brick with the male 18mm connector will be available at a lower price as an add on to The Brick. It will ship with a whip and two 90 degree 18mm connectors and also works with various hydratubes.
We are currently working on two new models, a direct bubbler version with 18mm on the bottom, and a portable version. Watch our website for availability on those. On a more personal note: I have had a perma grin all week and can't express enough gratitude to the community for the warm welcome. We can only hope to make you all as happy as we are right now. Thank you!
Also, special thanks to
