OF, I'm confused, Imagine that!
Could you please explain then why they are going with the "hotter one"?
Am I reading this right, you don't recommend it for "general use", what's general use?
So it's going to shorten the total run time, but only give a little faster warm up time, I sure hope it isn't turning into a glorified T1.
Any benefits I'm missing to why they are going with this hotter one?
Doesn't seem that there many pro's to it.
I'm glad you have no illusions about being the only one confused.....I wonder who might fully understand this all at this point in time myself..... Remembering I'm not TV, and only privy to some information, I can only
guess as well. The decision was a 'front office' one, I think, and was made without my input (I told Tim what I'd seen so far yesterday morning after the answered my 'cool, what power did you decide to ship?' question.
Here's something else we know, they read and put great stock in these Forums. Look at what happened to the Cera thread when I mentioned I'd been given a different core to evaluate. 'That's for me' posts flooded the joint before any more was known. We demanded it, more or less, didn't we? Given the venom expressed elsewhere, had they gone with a milder core what do you think the chances of getting 'we were cheated', 'they deceived us into buying all the prototype junk at full price', 'that lame cart isn't enough for me' and so on posts would be? I'd estimate it at about 180%. I sure would not advise such an exposure. I wasn't asked, as I said, but my advice would be to ship the high power cart for that exact reason, despite what I see using them.
As to what I obviously expressed poorly, I think the average Joe (or Jane....) doesn't really have 'huge clouds' at the top of their list to the exclusion of all else. And in practical terms the production is impressive and IMO effective, it is only a tenth of a gram or so (what we asked for.....). You can only do so much with it. It is not, I think, limited by power available. We waste a lot of power with vapes like this as it is (making the body and world around it hot), putting more in
and taking no more out only wastes more. And heats what's in your hand faster.
Nor do I think general owners will be in so much of a rush to get a hot hit or two and duck back under cover that they'll want to sacrifice more leisurely sessions and get less minutes per charge to gain 20 seconds or so on the 'flat out start up time'. A subjective judgement on my part, sure to differ with some, but you asked?
Yes, I think that change pushes it back toward the T1 design (30 Watts there), but not a lot. And it's easy to modify later. Either TV will introduce a lower power one as an option or we'll arrive at a rewind we think worth the $15 for a custom power.
I think the product is great now, and will get even better as time goes on. In the end, both low and high power will have their fans. Sadly, I don't think those looking for ever bigger clouds will find as much advantage as they hope for due to a misunderstanding in how this guy works. More power will boost the oil carts (being largely radiation and conduction), but the herb carts (being mostly convection) don't seem to benefit much directly to me.
Thanks for the good wishes, I'm working on that very issue right now.
I think the entire FC community and beyond would be ecstatic if you made a video of the finished cera!!
Do you really think so? Did you miss the part in the jibberish thread where they were
vilified for wasting time making all the videos and 'not doing your job and designing the product professionally'? Not really the sort of thing that encourages folks much in the long run. Small wonder makers don't generally last long on these Forums.
Yes, most would appreciate it, no doubt. But "the entire FC community" is guaranteed to not "be ecstatic". And at least some of those would most likely have no trouble being what I consider just a little bit rude about saying as much. Or maybe even more than a little bit?
No!!!! No risking destroying Ceras until I have mine in hand!
I love it! We need a little 'No Ceras were harmed in the making of this video' disclaimers.....

Congrats to the TET team!
