…never in the past..but now..honestly maybe.
It would have to be the ultimate device to cost that much or more though. (Like an on demand miniature minivap)
On top of the ‘pure’ glass/zirconia pathway, it would need to rival some of the best desktop ball setups and have replaceable batteries, all while still fitting in a pocket/one hand.
But yeah if it did all that while being in a well manufactured/strong and sleek form factor, I’d toss down $900 any day of the week for that.
Arguably the TokedVapors does a basic version of what I’m talking about for about $190 + shipping. I just wish the body was stronger than 3d printed plastic.
Thanks a lot for the response, I only ask out of curiosity as I’m building a Zirconia desktop and am sort of curious to see if enough people who value that level of purity would truly pay for it.
the older I get the more I'm inclined to pay a higher price to get something that actually functions in a reliable and elegant way. I'm happy that's the case too, because I know just from my own personal projects how much hard work these smaller handmade makers/outfits put in. And that to me is worth it when the device works as advertised.
Very well said!
