Not to belabor the point, OF, but I think a lot of us on the fence about pre-ordering the new oil cart would greatly appreciate any pictures of it you can manage, as for pretty much everyone here but you and the TV folks it's sight unseen. And given the $99 price tag, I think a lot of us want more info besides "4x the capacity," a few other details, and a CG render. Totally understand your PC difficulties, maybe someone from within TV could step up to the plate here?
You do understand the oil cart does not yet exist, right? There's nothing to take photos of. As soon as it's complete and working I'm sure it'll get it's picture taken 'down the way' at some photographers. The other day when I went in to get the Cera test unit the only working one in the world was at that very photographers (running a little late....go figure). They asked me to wait while they quickly rebuilt the core so I could 'start clean' and that's when the only ceramic washer on planet earth (it seems) broke into three pieces. It's interesting in that I think I got the first built up core with 3 rings. The one that came back only had two (prior version).
They are big on photographs, and pay big bucks to get top notch ones published first. I'm sure when the oil cart is ready to go (I think soon) it will be the same drill, it's going to get passport photos, and a few boudoir shots of course, done before I see it.
If they somehow fail to come up with pictures before I get it, we'll see what we can do. Anyone can put the file on the server.....
I for one am going nuts trying to imagine what this new concentrate cart will be like...
Personally I think that I will still want to conserve topping up, and so it is my hope that it will work well (hopefully better) than the current system, but I will not be forced to use more actives to have it perform with efficiency.
I am a little distressed that all of the old stuff is mostly obsolete. I have gotten a few people interested in this system primarily as a smoking cessation device. The ability to either direct them to "a kit" with all of the stuff they need or a single part to adapt what they already have was quite nice. (it also seemed more affordable) This new system will obviously wow people even more than before, but the initial investment is larger and may cause confusion or an outright obstacle to trying it...
Plus if I wanted to change out all of the elements I currently use on the first generation stuff, I would need to spend nearly $500.00 to go all CERA (and be the show-off that I already am known to be...
You and me both. I've got this general idea it looks like the new core, only metal and taller with a socket for the normal MP in the top. In use it looks just like the herb version except the MP. The juice version is, I think, basically the same with different ceramic and heater perhaps. I've never asked the difference here, but that was basically it between Revolution/DART and AVA as I understand.
My take is there may be more 'in limbo' in the larger reservoir but it will now vape over a wider range of levels from the same modest levels we now enjoy to truly nail challenging levels. But without overheating the goods in the process. Noah in particular seems to be really down on that point, the higher temperatures cause deal breaking problems for some medical users.
My feeling is the marketing is shifting to the very 'kit' level you mention. But in kind of an awkward way given the mix of needs (no battery or charger, etc.) Dropping two powers and two of the three batteries from their line points to this. And only one system for juice. It's coming down to one model vape in one of three configurations (or a combination of them). Once the dust settles (and everything is in production) I expect to see a couple of turnkey systems lead the web page with few other options for us to fawn over.
A point I forgot to mention, and here again it does not exist in hardware suitable for photographs, are the two planned adapters to the new threads. IMO the new threads are a much better scheme. They look to be 3/8 inch or so and very 'bolt like'. They thread into a solid stainless steel plate almost 1/4 inch thick in the Cera. No plated brass with fine threads here, you could probably tow your car with this guy. IMO the sort of threads we should be using not some lame hold over from e-cigs (which themselves got bigger and heavier after the connector was standardized).
