Hey VaporBlunt!
I went to the local headshop today and was pleasantly surprised to see your VB2 in the vaporizer display case! They've got a shitton of vapes, especially the more recent ones like the Palm 2.0 and you VB. It was just the vaporizer though, not with the hydrotube. The headshop (Outer Limits in Oceanside, California) has a LOT of vaporizers which is impressive. I think the owner hangs out on this forum becaus I saw around 10 SSV's, 3 DVB's, a Plenty, silver and black Solos and Extreme's. The Pax and Launch Box (and sadly, the ripoff Da Kube :l ) Both Volcanos, three different legit Vapor Brothers, the ThermoVape Revolution standard volt (windowed Rev) and a white T1. They've got the G-Pen, Cloud pen, Sticky Wax Burner, Vapir No. 2, Iolites and Wisprs. They've still got your Vapor Blunt for sale as well BOTH of your Palms!
But get this... they're not marking them up. At all. The VB is $169.99. The Palms are both priced accordingly. Price checked and matched for the Vapor Blunt 2. Mine for $249.99. They're not making profit I don't think, unless you sell them for less? I'm not sure, I didn't ask the owner because he wasn't there. In any case, that's some very competitive pricing for it being a local headshop. I asked to see it just to give it a quick touch.
First off, wow. It's small. Pocket friendly as long as you don't wear tight pants. Unfortunately for me since I'm skinny I like to wear slimmer pants. Regular cut is very baggy on me. I can definitely see myself putting it in my back left pocket when I go out though. It felt good in my hand, more natural than I had thought based on the pictures and videos. You know, it's one thing to see, and another to feel... The button click was nice. It just felt good.
Two, as I was being rung up I mentioned to the girl that I was surprised that they had the VB2 for sale already. She looked at me confused for a few seconds, and then said "Oh! The one that does concentrates too?" I said yes and she said she liked it, and that it was awesome that it could do concentrates as well as "... you know, your blend."
So there you go. I like it. If I had enough money, I'd like to get one to play around with and just to have. I'll skip on the Palms but I think you did good with the VB2. Some stupid health shit came up though so it might not be a while, but just in case Just wanted to let you guys know you've got a good presence over here around my part. Outer Limits is a real big headshop, two rooms. Some good glass names and, like I said, a very impressive vaporizer selection, carrying almost all of your products.
Now I have something I want to ask you. Are there any plans to make a mini hydrotube? Something like the size of the VB2 unit itself. Only reason I ask is because lately I've taken a serious liking to small minimal clean pieces. I just bought an oil rig (so direct inject/male joint) 5 slit gridded inline with a little can and bent mouthpiece. I love it for my Launch Box, I get it milky as hell and it clears nicely with no water going up into my mouth. It's the perfect size IMO, just what I had been looking for, for a while now. And at $59.99, it was stupid NOT to get one. Anyways, it also fits in a cupholder which can be a plus sometimes (but never when I drive!!) so I'm definitely digging the portability aspect of it. Seeing the comments of the vapor thinning out rather quickly with the hydrotube, I was thinking maybe a smaller volume piece would milk better? Although I'm not sure if that's just for looks or if it actually improves any aspect of it.
In any case, it would totally rock if by the time I had money, there was a small basic (showerhead should be easy) hydrotube.
I'm also wondering if it would be possible to connect the Vapor Blunt to my little can. It's got a male 14.4mm joint size. I'm assuming all I would need is a female to female adapter so that I could sit it on top of the male piece and have a traditional female slide, the same as on a downstem. Would I be correct in saying I shouldn't expect any problems using it upside down?
Oh, and by the way, please do forgive me for the huge rant. I was prescribed a couple norcos every four hours for pain, took a few dabs, and trench after trench through the little oiler sci tube. I bet it would be a great pair with a VBV2.
Thanks for reading this, by the way. I'm now a believer in your product. The $250 pricepoint is competitive, and if it's just a female-female adapter that I need to use my current favorite piece with the VB2, I'm "sold."
As soon as I get some spending money, which I'm afraid might not be for a while. Who knows, maybe I'll have my wish come true? Maybe you'll make something better than my idea. I'm curious to see where you guys can take this.
