@Vapxr I am going to answer your question as it relates to me, but I honestly don't see how it's relevant to the discussion about the device itself. I will say this though... Unless you plan on going through and asking the same questions about every single maker and retailers relationship, i feel it's a completely irrelevant and unfair question as it has no merit on the device or is performance.
I approached them. I saw them as a small one man show and empathised with them since I am in a similar position and I thought it would be cool to join forces and help each other out. I am a woodworker who makes accessory stems for various vapes. I have a website and after talking to the person at TinyMight, I thought they were a good fit. I help them gain access to the US market and we get to support each other and grow as a team. Now, how that is anyone else's business but ours is up for debate. Two small companies joining forces to accomplish more than they could on their own is not only a common practice, but it's also not up for anyone's debate. We are simply helping each other be successful. Now that that is established, let's stay on track with the device.
I understand that everyone wants to hear from the maker and I don't blame any of you. Look at it from their perspective though. If they came into this firing squad of a debate, they would get crucified. Everyone needs to relax. This thread was opened prematurely because someone couldn't resist, instead of letting the maker release it at their own pace. If the maker wants to join, then they will. There is nothing requiring them to do so other than to ease everyone's minds. The discussion has gotten so prematurely derailed that no wonder the maker is staying away.
I've helped in every way that I can so far, but I think I'm going to leave this discussion behind as it's getting toxic, and it's not even my vape. I am simply helping another artisan out. I'm just a girl who makes stems in her garage and happens to have a website. If you like the vape and want to try it, feel free to buy it whenever it comes available. If not, save your money and go buy mass produced China made products. It's no skin off anyone's nose. But to get bent out of shape on a product that is still in refinement? Y'all are better than all that. Stay on track. Quit the drama. I know you all have plenty of questions, and they are all valid. They will all be answered in time. Don't get so invested in consumerism that you lose what this is all about. An artisan who is working hard to make their dream come true and providing you with the best possible vape they can make. If you think you can do a better job, then do it and hope that the same kindness you have given to them is given to you...
