Cheerful Dub
Spaced Station
Just a very short while ago I invested ~$300 in the first generation product line focused on essential oils. If you were originally looking for flower oriented usage things would be less than so relatively spectacular, but near as I can tell that's always been the name of the game given the requirements at hand in a portable flower based vaporization context: high and fast rate of power consumption, more draw time, packing/unpacking, general stress level, etc.
The industry, hobby, craft and cultural framework is in a constant state of evolution and not long ago this level of freedom and access was effectively a science fiction dream. For me personally the first gen line focused on concentrates made it reality, and this is after an initial experience with inferior rebranded chinese ecigarettes and all that entails. If you are looking to be upset with an unscrupulous, predatory and fly-by-night manufacturer there are many legitimate entities towards which to direct your rage, that's both a fact and my opinion.
I suffered a relatively immediate failure on my first core and instead of feeling scorned and desiring a refund, decided to reinvest in a new core + shipping at retail cost while pursuing their advertised rebuild service. They were good on their end of the deal and now I have a great "legacy" product line with two functioning rev cores, an alternate ava core for liquids, batteries and holsters, etc and could not be happier.
It is evident that they have such faith in their work as to completely re-engineer their core product platform in every aspect while retaining the same singular vision. Although this remains to be witnessed and testified to by end users, I am not feeling "burned" by the quick turnaround of new developments. I also feel as though they have done well to simultaneously overhaul their product presentation structure, which was a much requested user experience upgrade. It remains to be seen with all the various listings if it stays as clean, but relative to the old offerings this is clearly a synchronized shift in the "right", or at least much requested direction.
If anything I feel the Cera lineup is an opportunity to invest in new equipment, something that TET earned the right to pursue based on their previous commitment to quality operations and subsequently well earned success. After experiencing it first hand as a consumer, I wish to continue this cycle of support and see no reason to feel otherwise.
Appreciate the new photos and breakdown discussion, any new information is really quite enticing and as many others in this thread, I'm on the edge of my seat waiting to throw down on a preorder
I think you guys are right on the money with that flashlight attachment, misdirection and obfuscation is the name of the stealth game near as I can tell. The heater cores with the black mouthpieces from the first generation lineup look like little bats/one hitters isolated in their tubes which I do not like, and the whole assembly with a T1 looks like a sonic screwdriver of sorts, and we all know unique and identifiable is not preferable when undesired scrutiny is to be avoided. Personal massage concerns aside, which I find slightly juvenile and irrelevant, I feel as though the new form factor and breakdown lends itself to better concealment opportunities.

I am easy to make HAPPY. The T1 makes me HAPPY, but completely satisfied with no desire to mod/improve... your right that will NEVER happen. 
Ill try to keep you updated.
