[NickDlow]

Any news @villekille2

 

[Delta3DStudios]

Whatever happened to this vape? I'm still interested in it

 

[tepictoton]

Yeah, still playing the with and see game... Have high hopes for this one, would be nice to get a little update

 

[Delta3DStudios]

Indeed, I'd really like to see this vape hit the market. It's so damn sexy looking. The kind of vape I'd be proud to pull out in a party and show off

@villekille2 any updates?

Rome wasn't built in a day. I think they still need time to make it marketable. Just give them some time. Patience is a virtue

A watched pot never boils;
Learn to walk before you can run;
All things are difficult before they are easy;
Beware the fury of a patient man;
Patience surpasses learning;
Everything comes to he who waits.

But even so

Giz an update @villekille2!

Almost anything will do!

Vill is probably on his country's summer holiday, my number one question about this new design is what are the chances of a bulb blowing up and sending glass flying threw the screen in to someones mouth.

 

[mrweed]

the herb chamber is between the bulb and the airpath, so I hope that won't happen

Do halogen bulbs blow up?

 

[Hashishin]

Iv only seen a normal overhead 60 watt bulb blow up under normal use but it was hooked up to the home lines, there are vids of people blowing up halogen bulbs on youtube but they do it on purpose by over powering them, this device looks like it cant be plugged in so that eliminates a power surge from a power line, but is there a chance that a battery could defect and send too much juice at once, and if so is there a built in surge protector.

 

[grokit]

With the high-temp halogen bulbs like are on projectors you're not supposed to even touch them (use gloves or wipe them off after install), because even the oil from your fingers can make them explode.

 

[VegNVape]

@villekille2 . . . I saw this & thought of you . . . .

 

[Unisonruss]

This vape looks pretty cool! I'll check back for updates

 

[tepictoton]

Still waiting...must get more popcorn lol...

 

[Delta3DStudios]

 

[Copacetic]

Still no further news?
I really hope this device comes together.

 

[vapen00b]

Man, me too!
@villekille2 : you still around?

 

[tepictoton]

One more... Was hoping to hear more from @villekille2 too but after exchanging some pm's about possible pre-order it got awfully quiet...

Let's hope he just spend the summertime at the side of a swimming pool fiddling with this new toy, making sure it works at lightning speed and with Chirurgical precision before sending his creatures out into the wild?

 

[vapen00b]

Guys, good news basically.
Had contact with ville. He's good and still developing this thing.
Asked him, if I m allowed to paste his mail here - waiting for his answer...
Will update here then.

Cheers!

 

[vapen00b]

Guys, would love to just paste his mail - but he's not responding yet.
Otherwise, when I have a lil time I'll post an extract in my own words later. Think this would be suitable and still correct.


EDIT:

VS made a sample batch with some improvements, front panel is now equipped with battery cap that is threaded and supposed to work very nicely and to be strong.

Most importantly, they have found suppliers for all components of the vaporizer to be ready for bigger scale production. Only one thing has been causing hesitation: the temperature of the wood around the heating element, which is getting hot after extended periods of use, especially if many people use it same time, as it will then stay on for longer times and doesn't have time to cool in between so much. Ville has already given units to his customers for testing purposes. They confirmed that this particular part can get very warm in these situations, but say how much they love the vape and don't want to give it back. Ville adds that the ergonomics are designed in a way the user doensn't actually touch this part of the vape in normal. Though he's about to install a mini fan to keep some airflow between the wood and heating element, to prevent the wood from warming up too much.
He says he might just release the vape and update the design later, since in Finland there's already a big demand for the PP.



I then wrote him about the Zion and RBT since they have all wooden bodies with no heat issues... Maybe to get a hint or just to connect. Also asked, if anyone from FC is involved in testing this. Really do hope for it cause I think I'd be a win-win for all of us. There's a lot of experience and knowledge here and we got notable members who can give precious feedback.
Well so far for now. Gonna keep you guys posted! Have a good one

Thanks for the update on his behalf.

The heating elements differ from those units I believe.

I can't wait for this baby to be fine tuned so I can get my hands on it. It's also the the sexiest of the portable wood vapes. Besides my buckeye NicoMod , sadly there is no dry herb attachment for it that actually works.

I know I'll be anxiously awaiting its arrival.

 

[Melting Pot]

@vapen00b maybe mention a mica shield. I heard something about that in Zion thread also used on the Vapman just a thought.
