Wow, had it in my cart and it was removed before I could check out. I'll get over it, but a very sour way to introduce a cool new product. An initial questionnaire to count the number of interested people might have helped avoid this clusterf*ck.
Same here...i had it in cart and then it went out of stock...just like the first drop ..I tried again and it was in stock again and this time I was typing fast!Despite saying I would wait till release somehow I got one in the cart and successfully got the order through.....with email confirmation.

it’s a limited release drop with quantities made known well in advance. hope you weren’t expecting a full release

Yep, I can read. What wasn't known in advance was the number of people interested, which would have given @Brenyo more options to avoid the chum-in-the-shark-tank effect. Hence my suggestion.

This was not the introduction, this was pre-release, put together pretty last minute based on interest demand here... Other companies know there are many people interested and they still do drops this way, it is not their responsibility to maintain a list... Sooo I think we know what's really sour

I missed out too, but I'm excited for everyone that got one. Hopefully we'll see more videos and reviews out in the wild. The limited release just confirmed that the hype levels for this thing are through the roof. Judging by the 10 complaints for every 1 success here, there may have been over a hundred of us with it in the cart, which is crazy. I don't think anybody mentioned this on Reddit either, so this was all FC.
As much as I'd like to get a pre-release copy, I'd rather more effort go towards getting the retail release ready. Messing around with multiple pre-releases is only nice if it doesn't impact the timing of the retail release IMO (especially considering each test release has a bunch of questions, complaints, comments, etc. that all take time to respond to). Maybe this didn't feel "fair" but it is what it is and the best way to make things right is to focus on the finishing touches for release.

Totally fair, and I apologize. Some Strawberry Cough has taken care of my initial negative reaction, and I shouldn't have posted so soon. Congratulations and much enjoyable use to those who scored one.Sooo I think we know what's really sour

I was pressing refresh at 8. Saw no stock, and I assumed by 8.03 that I had been unlucky. But it did not get released till 8.07?
I don't think I want to play this game anymore.

It's fair to be excited and disappointed. We're all super hyped. The only person we can all blame here is Brenyo. If only he had just made a shittier vape, none of this would have happened.

In the announcement describing what would happen, it was mentioned that they would go live somewhere within 30 minutes from the time listed... That was confirmed earlier here from the first drop, 7 minutes of mysterious refreshing doesn't sound fun though, unlucky

I did not realise. I never read instructions.

I got one!
I contacted Brenyo to get the dark green/bronze color. but there were none left. after a 30 second disappointment, I looked at the remaining colors. and I remembered that I was definitely going to have wood one day (as soon as possible
) so ultimately the Ti raw option is the best option for me!
It's a Sunday at home with the kids so I didn't really enjoy my success... but I was explaining a game to my son during the drop... so I'm quite proud of me
what an exciting time!
thank you @Brenyo and @phattpiggie
Happy vaping everyone!

thank you I didn't see anything on Reddit about it. So yeah, I have a feeling this FC thread has a decent amount of lurkers. I'm still confident we will all get one on full release day. This was a limited batch afterall.
Everyone knows these are getting a full release...right? There's no reason for folks to be so bitter missing one of these early ones when you'll be able to just buy it in 2mo. Not having these colors to choose will be unfortunate but its not like the other ones aren't awesome too.
Don't get caught up in the FOMO, it's ok.

I guess we all found out that there are a lot more people interested in this product than are actively participating here, a lot of lurkers who have been watching the development with excitement as well - but have been quiet about it.

Hi @Brenyo,
I just reread the thread from the beginning.
It has accelerated over the last few weeks and there have been some changes..
Just wanted to be sure...for the lucky ones who managed to get a unit today:
-these will be 2.5mm zicorn beads
-the bowl mesh will need to be changed upon official release
-There will be visual indicators
- there will be only one disc (of the two provided) for the sound indicator - only for the first 10 commands - and none for the following ones
-It comes with a few extra orings, bowl screens, wand adapter, debowler and direct tube with SCU (and not the Helix tube)
Thanks in advance for confirmations.
And I also have a question, can all parts be dipped in iso? even the cape with the thermal matrix? This is what I thought I understood in the manual that you published at the start of this thread but I wanted to be sure...
Thanks again !
Good week start !!

Me while reading this thread right now:
I just want a full release version (love me my torches) but am excited to hear new user feedback (not like it'll change anything- I'm buying for sure).
