I've missed out getting one everytime they hit the site and I'm to the point of giving up. It's really disheartening to see the beta team get them and either want trade them or sell them to someone else. There's even been one that I seen on the classifieds here.

I would love to get one but guess I'll just have to wait a few months.

Yes Ma'am I am with you on this. While these tips look really nice and I would happily shell out cash for one or two the trying to get one and the F5 mania is getting old. Beta testing is fine and good feedback is essential for a proper product launch but I have watched this thread since the start of May. I am truely happy to see the Beta testers enjoying the products and they are really a work of art but I like you will bag out and when stock is more readily available I will place an order. I like many have seen way to many products pitched early on in the product cycle (JCModtronics, EQ, Vari, Empire etc etc etc) for this hobby we have come to enjoy and being part of the "microwave" generation I am willing to wait a few weeks but endlessly checking web sites and standing by for the ability to order is getting tiresome. Bert I am not trying to hijack the thread nor do I wish you anything but great success with the tips. I was just hopeful that they would be brought to market and available much sooner than we are seeing and sharing some insight from a frustrated consumer. Best of luck with the trippy tips and hopefully they will be available soon to us "regular" consumers

I've been on the beta list since back then and I'm still waiting on my custom tip to come up! Non beta people can at least buy tips now, if i place an order, being a beta, I'll lose my custom tip because I'll be removed from the list. Frustration is across the board. Knowing when my tip is being put on site would be nice, but yes, patience in this hobby has become standard.

liv2ski, i somewhat agree and somewhat dont, i agree i would like to see the tips more available, and it seems the beta testing tips are going, so doesnt seem like that will last very much longer. it does seem pretty crazy how fast the ones to the public go, but these are one of a kind, im guessing 2 or three people making them? each one is like a work of art that someone painted, so they are hard to come by. the become more aailable, and its going to be like everything else, every one has a cherry vape tip, or a delrin tip, but very few have a trippy tip, so if people truly think of them as a piece of artwork, it might come easier.

one thing i would reccomend is maybe a bidding war style for tips, it would be fun and make them more available. also if you get one maybe a limit liek you cant get another one for a couple weeks so others have a chance, or something like that... anyways, just my opinion.

Exactly Krisb. The gestataion period of an elephant is shorter at times than waiting for new vape gear.

It looks like things are starting to move along a bit more lately though and the beta tips are finally moving which makes room for the public ones. I realize that it is frustrating to see all of those tips sitting there when alot of people would even pay double just to have one but I believe that with the extra help, Bert will have plenty of them up some time soon. I was lucky enough to get one of the first ones that were released to the public and it was not easy but I also have no life...

I don't think Bert is the kind of person that would let down the entire Beta team over one or two people who sold there Trippy Tips. I for one would wait for as long as it would take to get the one I asked for, especially from an Artist like Bert, these things are one of a kinds, you dont just go order a famous painting like Vincent Van Gogh or Rembrandt, you have to wait your time until your moment comes then you get your work of Art.

Seeing them offered up for sale in here and the classifieds seems pretty lame though.

Like I said, one or two bad eggs don't ruin the whole Dozen, also maybe they just weren't for those people. I just dont see Bert changing his entire program for some people wanting in before the entire Beta team project is completed, he has stuck to his program hard core from the day he put it in place, he doesn't seem like the kind of guy to me who would change something he said he was and is going to do. This is just my personal opinion.

Exactly almost like the Wii and PS3 and Xbox....................next thing we will see is trippy tips on ebay for $100! I agree they are a work of art and I would be willing to place an order and wait for a few months to get delivery. Let me order a 1st, 2nd and 3rd choice and agree on a delivery date not to exceed a certain timeframe and let the F5 key RIP. Again best of luck with the tips and I am hopeful that all that want one will be able to get one someday.

This is not going to make Bert want to produce more of his tips for us. Ignore what you don't like and comment on what you do like. Lets not turn this thread into something negative.

You are good people, mwa!

Like I said, I'll just have to wait a few months more for one. Taking care of 2 elderly parents and a toddler grandson leaves me very exhausted at the end of the day. I've had to cancel doctors appts because I couldn't break away and go. Staying up late or being at the computer at a certain time can't happen for me.

No Neg here HzG8,,,, I love these dam Tips and there about all I use on a daily basis ! I'm also STOKED to someday get the one I'm waiting on and also hope others can enjoy them as much as I do someday. It's a normal thing to have to wait for works of art and these being hand made one at a time is just how its always probably going to be as there are way more people that vape then people that make Trippt Tips ;-)
