Yeah, but my point is that heat up, it is pretty irrelevant... a separate distinction... The definition for on demand style vaping, is user control of the heat extraction process...
The first part of your statement I don't necessarily agree with. I think the heat up time of an on-demand device is very relevant as it needs to be fast in order to support the second part of your statement, which is user control of the heat extraction. Without a quick heat up, it won't be able to go at a moment's notice or
on demand, at least when we're discussing portables. I see your point though, it
is ultimately user control that defines the process. I'm realizing that part of the problem for me here is that I basically treat all of my devices like one-hitters regardless of type so I kind of conflate one-hitting with on demand vaping as they share a lot of the same characteristics.
I think you can make a case for devices like the TA or Anvil not really strictly fitting into either category, but that's another discussion altogether.
What is bizarre to me is this follows speculation about a very specific kind of session device that would, in your opinion, effectively redefine the category
I don't quite follow what you mean. In several posts I've stated that a "New developed heating technology" is mentioned by S&B in the teaser videos. I've put forth both the possibility that this could potentially mean, but is obviously not limited to: improved software development capability as mentioned by Jurgen Bickel as one of the benefits S&B has realized from being acquired by Canopy Growth. This could potentially lead to more efficient energy use, better temperature stabilization and more efficient heating cycles. It could also potentially mean a new design that could be using a different material for the heating matrix which is what I initially assumed, or it could be neither. At the end of the day, my speculation is based on the stated fact that there definitely has been something that has changed with what is basically a staple of the entire product line and at the very least we can assume that in some way, the heater will be different from the ones found in every other S&B device that came before it.
In responding to
@Shit Snacks, I was trying to illustrate that in addition to the "heater technology" change all we really know about the device is the name, how it looks and that it won't have removable batteries. The example I gave was flawed given my perspective on on demand vaping, but my point about the negativity in the two threads towards the device being based on very little concrete information still applies, IMO. This'll all be moot an a couple of hours anyway and people will actually be able to formulate an opinion based on something other than their feelings about S&B and their previous products.
