Super Surfer Vaporizer

Here's the crowdfunding page. Early bird price is $349. Looks like the full retail price will be $549. Estimated delivery in April 2015.

The bag system looks pretty cumbersome. The way the assembly works is neat, but it's a lot of parts and there doesn't appear to be a valve. Doesn't look particularly user friendly IMO.

yeah, after watching the vid........I agree with you.
too many parts, too much hassle for bags.
looks like a cheap chinese color changing LED light....which is kinda lame IMO.

i would expect better from 7th floor.

still love my 3 SSVs and LSV...but based on this video... I would not get this over the SSV.

honestly.......it seems I would rather use a arizer extreme Q vs this for bags.

IMHO disappointing.

Same here. :cry:

Steve said it took years to develop, all they did was add a air pump and some flashy lights?? :shrug:

Where is the portable LSV? How awesome would it be to have and interchangeable battery, small FF, portable LSV???

And with a MSRP of $549, :whoa:.

yeah, now I don't have a lot of hope for the portable 7th floor vape.

I'm definitely surprised in a bad way.

I was really hoping for something better because I love the 7th floor and that they are all about glass vapor paths.

Yeah, not trying to rain on any parades but it really seems like they are just aping a lot of the features from the Extreme Q: ground glass joint heater cover (always nice), bags+forced air (cool, good for groups but I never used it much with my EQ), and the led lighting (meh, I guess the multi-colour is cool?)

Edit:
One thing I did notice was that amazing in-house glassblowing shop they have and the work they put out. Not cheap to maintain a set-up like that, so props?

After watching the video I definitely will NOT be getting this vape. What I will do is invest the time and money into fixing and keeping my old SSV. Pretty disappointing to say the least.

Did anyone else notice the guy in the video spill his herb when removing the balloon from the unit? Made me laugh....

For anyone that's interested here is a link to a video of the new Super Surfer by 7th Floor llc. It will answer ALL your questions about the new unit: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/super-surfer-vaporizer--2 According to the link the estimated release date is April 20th 2015.
Enjoy the video...

My personal opinion: First off I wonder how much their filtration system alters the vaporizer. Second is about the "mood lights" I just hope there is a way to disable them if you don't want to use them. Based on the video, it does not look like you can disable them; but I could be mistaken.

watched the video a few times now and im not as keen as I was before the video release.

the transition between colours isnt even smooth and relaxing. more likely to start a fit. click green click blue click red. seems cheap. even the herbalaires change colour slowly and smoothly and correspond to heat temp. hasnt been mentioned of sssv does this or it literally is a light show. I think lights underneath would of been enough and not through the hc cover part which u going to look into I know I would out of habit.

also im guessing the idea is knock up one of those ball shaped bags and pass that round rather than having loads of bags on the go. so I suppose the make up time could be forgiven due to only making another one when u get a leak or it needs changing from a cleaning side of it.
but the ball shaped bags seem wierd. all the bag vapes ive seen have rectangle shaped bags. which seem to be the standard but the 7th floor guys have tried to be different which in my opinion isnt a wise move. seems more cumbersome.

anyway I think im bailing this party until some user reviews are in. ill stick with the solo, ssv and herbalaire elite.

so much disappointment I had to post again.....
I'm just interested to see the portable version but honestly, I'm so happy with my launch box I don't think I need anything else.
its perfect for me and the warranty is unmatched.

It's not going to be portable, it will still require a power cord. Did you see somewhere that they have a portable one in the works?

I can't remember where.
maybe its just rumor.
but from what I understand there is a portable one in the works.

i really hope the portable one is good and all glass air path.

The LED thing really has no appeal for me. I like what they are going for, I'm not sure I want to deal with all those pieces.

The pod bags are definitely different.

The IndieGogo campaign should be the posterchild for how not to run an IndieGogo campaign. From the page's updates:

We want every one to also know that the lights may be an issue for us. No matter what the super comes with the LED lights. Our new task is finding more IC chips that will work. Our first 200 will for sure work as we said. After that it may be that you only have off, fast light switch and a steady light color of your choice. We may loose my favorite the slow fade. But we are hunting for more IC chips, working with the past manufacturer to produce a new chip for us.
Considering we are surrounded by LED's that do all kinds of wonderful and fantastic things...the fact they are struggling with LED's seems...odd. They did say that they have redone the bag setup, which from the video was just (IMO) a horrendous failure of design functionality, so lets hope they figured that out. They said they did, but also said that its only an idea so hopefully we will see some images to accompany. With only 7 days left in the campaign, I think the public has spoken. I doubt this vape will ever see the market.

A limited-edition run of 200, never to be seen again.

:razz:
A real collector's item?

Its quite amazing how a company like this can get a project so wrong in so many ways. Its been very disappointing to see, but also, I'm a fan of the show Dragon's Den so its been fascinating to watch :)
