A few pics of Luna & pre-order on Thermovape's page. Hopefully they'll have info on the adapters and switches before too long.
I would not hold my breath. Hopefully the adapters will happen first (I think they're easiest to do and don't impact Luna release really) rather than after as scheduled. For sure any switch change for Cera is going to happen after the release, a while out.
I think it will happen in a timely manner, just not timely enough for some/most?
It looks like they redesigned the EO core? I could be wrong, maybe they created screws that fit in the core and have new multipoint pattern? Is this to make it easier for disassembly to clean? Because that would be awesome. Not a big fan of the carbon fiber look, I wonder if they're going to have any variations.
There's a list..... OK, in order, no, you're looking at
the new EL core. As they said, Cera EO core is used as originally built. I don't know what a "new multipoint pattern" is, it's definitely not a scheme to make taking EO cores apart for cleaning. They don't want people doing that!!! While there I brought this point up and they repeated their stand that 'it's theirs, they can do what they want'. I agreed, of course, but put out my concern that the silence on their end was getting guys to tinker on their own and encourage others to do so.....which concerned them. They intend to 'revisit' the "send it in for a ground up rebuild for $15 idea. I believe I explained all this? Their current policy is if the resistance is right and it's otherwise within spec (but perhaps dirty/fouled) to return it intact. Nate understood, I believe, that cleaning was the whole idea and that some guys were running heroic quantities or marginal quality through their Ceras and wanted performance to continue. Hopefully that (revised?) policy will be out soon.
Yes, as I said the fancy tube is just that, a tube. 7/8 ID, 1 inch OD, it slips over the metal tube and is intended to be customized......or left off? If I understood right a Titanium tube is planned, amongst others. But the plan is to make it very simple for owners to swap out.
Can go up to 7.4 volts, with silver contacts like the best ecigs in the industry (poldiac).
I do think they will offer different sleeves, so you can have carbon fiber and maybe SS and titanium sleeves.
Yeah, the SV thing is all the rage with the hardcore e-cig guys? It 'lights up fast'.
That's my understanding of the tube idea as well (did you hear the same Ti idea?). One thing I can say about the prototype I handled, don't grab the bottom part by the tube part 'right side up' without being ready to catch the metal tube when it bolts for freedom......
I thought the price point was going to be less than the cera, not more.
Yup, that's the plan I think. How much less remains to be seen. This new one has a lot less fiddly hand labor than Cera, and while there are more parts, they tend to be cheaper to produce and more of them are 'standard, easy to buy' stuff. The price of making one or two (as before) or 25 (as the pilot run is) is going to be higher than larger runs to come.
It's even possible, I think, to offer a 'build your own Luna' kit (although I didn't bring it up with Nate the other day....he has a lot on his plate right now...). It could be a very fun little product for those with reasonable mechanical ability looking to save some money as well? I see nothing in the design preventing this. A "Heathkit of Vapes" if you will.? Full points to anyone who knows what that might be without Google or Wikipedia. Extra credit to anyone who's built one.
