I'm anxiously awaiting it, too.
@TRVB - Could you tell us a little about the dual draw design? Specifically how vaporization differs between one end and the other.
I think the Swiss Army Knife is the best thought out designs of all time and really kept it in mind during the design of this. Ultimately my goal was to offer as many completely differant expierences as I could with one device. Used traditionally, I wanted to fix the faults of vb1.
The absolute most important thing was designing a easy to clean airpath as a clean vape is essential to maintaining taste. I also think the extra heat settings were necessary to make every customer happy, including the people who really want to smoke a vaporizer. By smoke a vape I mean the 70% of people who think their unit is broken when it produces the fine mist that we all know to define a great toke. Vapor enthusiast like yourself are a surprising low percentage of the total customer pool, so even the traditional use needed to offer two expierences, a fine mist exhale and a harsher large cloud.
With the water tool end, I was approached by a glass blower friend of mine that owned a vb1 and blew his own water tool and adapter and tricked out his vb1. As soon as I used it I was amazed at what a differant expierence that it transformed vb1 into and my mind raced at how to design it into vb2 and the Swiss Army concept really began to take shape. I asked myself "isn't every portable a home unit as well?" and came to the conclusion the answer was a yes and that even if your water toll stays at home it is still awesome and another option that people can chose the way I seen it.
Lastly the oil attachment was origanaly designed for vb1 and Messed it up so bad I completely scrapped it. I was able to learn for the first attempt and design another really cool option in the oil adapter cap. Then we focused on the adapter cap and the extended screen design to enable the unit to plug directly into any 18mm water pipe. That is 6 completely differant Vaping expierences from 1 unit. My own personal Swiss Army Vape.
