Discontinued Zion vaporizer

[darkrom]

I'm taking mine trick or treating if I get it in time.

I LOVE this enthusiasm!

But, just to be a , remember, when did you order?

And then, think about just how long pre-orders have gone on in some other threads here on FC.

Now we know without a shadow of a doubt that this one IS definitely a lot different. But just remember that there is a certain man, who is out there remaining very quiet while he keeps his eyes on the prize & his nose to the grindstone. Pouring blood, sweat & no doubt tears into this creation.

And I'd also like to mention that this is not some faceless company, nor someone hiding away from the (cult) following that they have created . . . . it is in fact fellow FC brethren who are feverishly working away, to ensure that things are perfectly right for each & every one of us.

Now I'm not trying to teach anyone to suck eggs here, I do know we know this . . . . I just like saying it cuz we're so lucky & it's so damn coooool

And I also know that this is all very easy for me to say - happily clasping Zion in hand - but you know, I was there too not so long ago - and I can certainly attest, that imo at least, patience is indeed a virtue that pays off in a big, big way where the Zion is concerned. Just look at me & Johnny

But tbh, it's fucking great to see y'all chomping at the bit!

Guys after my own heart!




Peace2theEntireZionation!

MuchLove y'all.

I did it. I bought a Zion. I wanted to try using paypal, but now I feel like I am regretting it. I've never used paypal before, so I don't really trust it. I created an account just for this purchase and may delete it later.
To make matters worse, the way the whole RBT website is set up is very confusing. For the regular Zion, I had to specify special instructions for shipping outside the US despite being in the US: I submitted "Will not let me purchase without filling this out. I am in the US." I wanted to buy a longer stem in my original purchase, but it wouldn't let me and wanted me to specify a non-us country to ship it to. It wouldn't let me add it to my original cart so I haven't added it yet. Also, after my purchase was reported to have gone through, my shopping cart still isn't empty.

I'm actually pretty frustrated over this whole thing between the rigmarole of dealing with paypal and the purchasing process on the RBT site.

Can't defend PayPal I guess, but you will get one long stem and one short stem with the Zion already, so you should be all set.

Also don't know about the comment issues but I'm sure its fine if it went through in the end. Just hang on tight for the ride...

Halloween is cool and all, but if I get this before the holiday season really kicks off, I will be happy. I want to go to the rich neighborhoods and check out their christmas decorations. and Thanksgiving? Oh man.

Thanks for the reply, Shit Snacks. I'm excited to get this one and I hope it will be my new permanent vape for a while.

Having used my beta religiously (and going through many portables myself) I'd actually be rather surprised if it didn't

Just remember you just ordered, so I'd presume you won't see it til November, but I'd expect well before Thanksgiving at very least...

mmm winter with Zion, warming up with the log

 

[hweezi]

So will the international orders be shipped way later then ? I assume they're probably at the back of the pack.

Totally understand the jitters. I've done the same thing so many times -- pull the trigger and then start second guessing myself. Sometimes those second guesses proved accurate, but I am telling you bro, this ain't going to be one of them. Not sure how fast it will be since you're coming in on the tail-end of the pre-orders, but when you do get it, you are going to be so glad you worked through the jitters. It's the real deal, and so is its inventor and engineer.

Website issues...can't add anything there, but @thekarmawhore (the aforementioned engineer) said it all. @RastaBuddhaTao will make sure your experience is a good one.

Now for PayPal...I've used it for a long time and love it. Just don't mention anything about vaping when using PayPal, and you shouldn't have a problem.

@Edric al-Fali

I have had my paypal account for over 10 years with my same bank account attached to it. 0 problems.

If that helps.

 

[pakalolo]

Only @RastaBuddhaTao can answer shipping inquiries, and everyone will be better off if he's not flooded with questions. Please exercise good judgment.

If people keep talking about shipping here, I will be forced to split off a thread. I'm only asking one more time: please don't discuss shipping or your expected delivery date in this thread. Anyone who finds this restrictive can start a shipping thread in the Lounge and I'll make sure it winds up in the right place.

Thanks for your cooperation.

If I paint a little art on my zion, will that screw up the warrenty?

No. As long as you don't affect the functional or structural integrity. I think RBT actually encourages personalization, provided you share pictures. Just be careful what kind of paint or stain you use. You don't want something that will make it taste or smell funny.

 

[hackslasher]

Thanks you. Only real info found about it doing a quick check on google said basically be safe to do, and only painting outside not inside cap part. Assuming I won't be inhaling any paint. Anyway one comment said would void warrenty for that company, so wanted to check before I do anything.

I would also keep any paint away from the air inlet hole as well. Just to insure absolutely no pollution of Zion's lovely flavors.

Edit: I'm sure warranty will ultimately be handled by RBT not the retailer selling it. Especially for FC members.

 

[Likes2vape]

I wonder how much the production Zion's have changed from the beta units? I hope it performs flawlessly and production goes smoothly!!!

 

[Bongologist]

Any word on the contest restarting? My wife needs her own Zion.

I have access to laser die cutters and hot stampers. Though they are not made for it, I have shown customers that they can engrave certain personal items. They usually try it on their wallets.
We also have a lot of scrap wood so I can get the power settings right before I try it on mine.
If RBT has no problems, I would like to try engraving it.

I actually think it's a good idea to have a shipping thread

 

[Shit Snacks]

Changes we know is they are tuned like DieHard's, but cleaner starting precisely at 0% with fill doal useable for temp stepping, with an additional 15% over drive. Additionally there's the stir stick multi tool and stash spot, though HD's unit had those too. The battery door is also smaller since wood covers the electronic components for production units, along with indents for fingers to open easier. Plus overall smoother fit and polish, and more uniformity unit to unit. Those are the basics, I'm sure there are a few other tidbits I missed...

@hackslasher & @Edric al-Fali body customization will be fine warranty wise, as long as its purely superficial. There will be more full manual and warranty info posted to the site soon (should be in time for your units to arrive, hopefully before), but basically glass and superficial body damage isn't covered anyhow, and batteries are only 6 months vs lifetime (or 3 years for official retail) for the heater and all the technical components.

This, ordered a single bat but will take whatever is first off the line and has international shipping.

 

[Poostuff]

The name Zion burnt into the side of the wood branding iron style would be kinda cool.

 

[phattpiggie]

RBT did say somewhere he was okay with the idea of people customizing their Zion's. The only thing I can remember at the moment was he had concerns that nobody compromised the heater by removing to much wood. If in doubt, or maybe as a footnote in the manual, there could be some info. on how much would be okay to remove. I would also be cautious on the paint/finish chemical make up.
For me personally I don't want to see a shipping thread. If one does appear I will not be looking at it.
The other 'shipping thread' and unfortunately the thread itself don't make for pleasant reading.
It would be a real shame if the 'Zion good vibe' was slowly eroded away.
Please everyone be patient you will get your Zions and RBT will make sure you are all happy. It will take time and I know everyone who's placed an order will be more excited than ever now its October but please just let the production team do their bit.

 

[vapen00b]

Yeah, let's keep it calm and peaceful here - this is our RBT spirit.
We all are drooling for the Zion and patience is truly a virtue and will pay off big time - as @VegNVape said. And with his nice pics to stare at during waiting time it's really nice to share this time with you guys.

To help cure my Zion fever, I'm already preparing things for a nice honeymoon setup

Look at this nice sucker:

Big thanks to Mike@Oregonglassblower - super fast int. delivery, great work, even greater guy! Fits the pleasant Zion cult spirit.

EDIT: $#!t... what am I doin wrong? Posted pics before... hum?!

EDIT EDIT: thanks, pak!

 

[Vapenvy]

Mine will be travelling a long way, so I don't care if they take until Christmas to get the Zion to the quality that they want. No rush. With them going in batches, Later orders may benefit from early feedback/reviews too.

 

[Bravesst]

Let us all leave the talented Zionites alone as they make their magic! Time to think of cool names in anticipation of the coming HOLIDAYS!!!
Ziggy?
Gus? (my favorite name of all time, name of my best friend Boston Terrier who passed last year)
Ben?
Brion?
