Tornado by Vestratto

[Vapetothegrave]

I wanted to start this thread in order to collect all information about the new portable "sumblimator style" vape called the "Tornado" being released by the maker of the Anvil, Vestratto, on 4/20/24.

All we know now is a tidbit from this interview with Vestratto Founder, John, on April 14th, where he describes it as a Sumblimator Killer. See here

Who is planning on picking up the Tornado on 420?

I'm intrigued, but they need to show us some videos of this thing in action!

Is it actually going to be available on 4/20 and shipping? I didn’t watch the video but am super confused about the bundle.
Really interested to see what it’s about. The hybrid heating of the electropath/flower kettle hits me unlike anything else I’ve ever experienced. So to get something like that in a portable sense would be pretty impressive.

i hope it’s not a ball vape. there’s already plenty in the market. very interested to see how the copper core is being applied with the tornado

From my understanding yes it will, you will be able to grab a Forge and Tornado for $420 USD / $580 CAD. From the explanation in the interview I believe there will be 100 total bundles available.

I don't think John would bring something like that to such an overcrowded market, he also mentioned in the interview that it will use copper core technology. The sublimator is a legendary vape and if the Tornado can surpass that, I believe we vapourists are all in for a treat.

I wonder if we just put our lips on the hot threads to hit it. Does it even come with any stem or accessory? Either way, I look forward to hearing the feedback from people who get one.

[Texus]

No tornado, no forge, no shit!

Didn't show up until 9 EST on the dot. Tornado listed as an option under one of the forge bundles added then.

Big year for Sublimator comebacks!

Looks like shipping date is May 15th... They added this message to the button after it sold out. I suspected they still needed to be manufactured since we only have renderings.

I look forward to the production release and for all your first impressions!

 

[Comfortably Numb]

I am very curious about this and can wait....cannot believe I said that

 

[someTooL]

Was not lucky enough to grab a tornado bundle, but snagged a forge only. I guess I’m happy lol.

 

[Duba]

Forge/tornado bundle available right now. Ordered.

 

[someTooL]

Thank you @Duba I’ve reached out, fingers crossed

Edit. I’m in

 

[Custom Flower Hardware]

I'm in thanks @Duba

 

[bkkbob]

I was in damn it, it was in my cart, and I was using the wrong phone for my OTP; by the time I kept resending it and figured out it was my other phone, it was checking out, and it told me it was out of stock. Not my weak, so so sad! Happy for you though. Jerry, make some videos. I'm afraid it will be a while before more are out in the wild

It's back up brother!! if you get this in time, if not I'll forward for sure! I know our VAS runs deep!

 

[KindBuddyBud]

After some back-and-forth emails, I got my order in, YES! Happy 420!

 

[Petetbay]

It’s still available in the Forge bundle, but this is too rich for me, getting up to $662CDN with taxes, even $5USD for shipping. Too much for a battery-less ID and a prototype, $552CAD just for the Forge.

 

[Texus]

I told myself I could live with 2 devices for $210 USD ea. BTW, don't forget code FREESHIPPING

 

[Vapetothegrave]

I cracked like an egg, I must rescind my previous statements and render myself a fool. I thought I could hold off but really I could not Tornado inbound... 210 USD seems like a great price for a Forge, and I am excited to see what the Tornado brings.

 

[popitup]

Throwing this statement in here from the site to help explain what the Tornado is.

From John on the Tornado:

For those who've been hanging out with us for a while you know that more often than not we nail it. When we do have room for improvement we have replaced entire production runs free of charge. The Tornado bundle gives folks a chance to be part of the early conversation with a very strong (like company strategic direction strong) VESTRATTO commitment behind it.

My goal with the TORNADO has been to make a vape engine that could be best summed up as a "portable - Sublimator".

Our goal is to make more efficient use of our herb. Larger vapour droplets don't get absorbed. They get caught in the mouth, throat and early few branches in the lungs. That's why I use the analogy of basketballs, baseballs and golf balls. If those balls are bouncing around in the gym you can see most of the basketballs, but the golf balls are going to get into many more deeper tighter nooks and crannies. To take advantage of the same effect larger vapour droplets from the herb chamber bounce against the gasifier wall and are broken down into smaller, more absorbable particles. Think micro-dabs. The TORNADO has two induction zones. One heats the oven while the other heats the gasifier. Think of it as a ThermoCore with a turbocharger.

I decided to sit this round out, but looking forward to the early reports on these new devices!
