T2 US shipping update

I currently have a few parcels en route to the US with different couriers to test what happens. I’m still waiting for them to arrive, so the newsletter announcement will be delayed by a couple of days to allow me to assess the situation more thoroughly. It's very likely that there is a working solution that I can't announce

I will do EVERYTHING I can to ship the parcels with zero or minimal tariffs as soon as possible. The longer the wait, the more free goodies you can expect with your order.

The second batch of full titanium stock is expected to arrive around May 16. Once it does, I’ll begin packing all US orders so they can ship as soon as a solution is in place or there is a change with the tariffs.

By default, all US orders are on hold, so you don’t need to contact me unless you wish to cancel your order. To cancel, please use the contact form and select "Cancel Order." Note that refunded full titanium Tempests cannot be reserved until the situation is resolved and repurchased.

Was just wondering about this this morning, but then I thought, you know what, if you haven’t heard anything, brenyo’s probably got the situation in hand.

Thanks for doing your best with this awful situation! The communication is super helpful.

@Brenyo I appreciate your holding on to units for your USA customers you could easily sell. This is really the kind of service that makes lifelong customers and should serve as an model for much of the artisan vape business. Thanks.

Thanks for your update for US customers. I’ve been excited for months, and it’s been a whirlwind of emotions since I got my preorder in, but I can’t wait to receive it! Was a customer before and will continue to be in the future!

All titanium other than the aluminium heat shield on the release model.

except for the o-rings, of course.

and the ferrous bits, otherwise IH would be problematic.

I'm going to share some of my thoughts on it at some point, but at the moment there's only one thing I really don't like, the green indicator....
For whatever reason, if I'm at home, under our normal lights, I just can't see it, that and it's absolutely pulling the the strings of my OCD

My assumption is that green is the end point colour from anodizing. If that's true, would you not be able to take that thin oxide layer off with a gentle abrasive to leave a raw Ti finish? (and more to the point, would that help visibility?)
