For Qorax
-------
@qorax you do some great reviews but I'd challenge you to bring these points up to these guys. Seriously. This so the
most expensive atomizer hat I know of. A failure to communicate. A failure to
include spares. Poor glass. He needs to be sorting out his existing customers before poncing about with a 209 product run or whatever. This is absolutely ridiculous. Please point him directly at my post or the one a few pages back. He clearly won't read my emails. Maybe I need to hire a translator. If language is he issue let me know. I will find a way(this isn't snark I mean it. I don't expect everyone to speak English well or even at all)
As a potential request or constructive criticism - and bearing in mind I haven't seen all of your videos first off you're extremely likable. You do a great job hi lighting positives with things but
I don't know that I've seen you criticize ever. And thats fine if you prefer not to but maybe let people know that you're covering what you like about pieces lest they not be aware of the flaws - or that you don't have much time. Or that you try one vg percentage. There's just no way you have run the gamut of juice types in the gem and never seen the wicking issues.
Dear sir,
First off, I am not a reviewer. Not in the traditional sense, like one who gets tons of gear/s and then s/he deliberates on it's pros & cons. I
purchase most of my gears. And that I do after some research. And thankfully - baring a minuscule few - all my purchases have worked out to be like what I thought it would be. And I only upload videos of the
ones I like. The stuff I don't like are not talked by me at all. Neither as a video, nor as a Pictorial on ECF, Vaporwall, Wackedout e-Cig Canada or FB. As such my 'reviews' are more like a showcase of a product
I like and found to work
fine for me. Which is why most of them will talk about the niceties of the product. Remember, the ones I don't like have been already left out. Case in point SQuape-R, Atomo, Nemesis, Hammer etc. I have them, costed a nice chunk, but never talked about them.
Secondly,
I do beta test many products. And am known to write a comprehensive report of my observations / opinions / recommendations. The modders are aware of that - and all of my findings are usually taken care of. Thus, launches of some devices do get delayed. GEM was one of those. However, my opinions will be based on
my type of vaping. And I am not a "know all" guy. So, some lacunae albeit will be found in those findings of mine.
Thirdly, all atties are not alike. All devices do not perform the same under similar conditions (of setup build, style of vaping, patterns of draw, viscosity of liquid etc.). GEM is not a Kayfun, a Kayfun is not an Erlkonigin, an Erlkonigin is not a Calix, a Calix is not a Phenomenon... you get the drift. They are all different - behave differently - and are meant for their own sector of vaping / vapers. And yes, they each have their own market segment as well.
Fourthly, the GEM spares. Yes, I am with you. And this I have voiced all along. In this very forum - as well as in one of my videos of this atty. And btw, MB listened to me and sent me a truckload of spares baggies to be redistributed amongst all the erstwhile purchasers. For which, I ran a list and shipped them all entirely on my cost. And no, it wasn't only for ECF, it was for all the forums I am part of, including FB. And that list was huge.
Fifthly, specific to the GEM's quality control. Kindly note that I can only speak for what I have. And how I vape, prefer &/or like. My GEMs, two in SS and now one in Ti, all are perfect. Per me. I have
no issues of the like what you speak about. Neither in wicking, nor in TC or with the glass or its build quality as a whole. Yes, I also have the first prototype - which had issues - and which were handled before I received the final production sample. The sale units were further tweaked based on our last reports as well. And I do have received one of the sales units. Which does work perfectly too. But, as again, that's per my vaping style.
Nonetheless, pls bear in mind that I do understand that few folks are having issues - and those shouldn't have been there at all. Mainly on QC front. Which I am with you all - a quality product shouldn't be found wanting. But then, Breitlings did have issues once.
Once again, I am first a vaper, exactly like you. Have spent good enough of my time and monies on this hobby. So I am with you. And I hope you understand that brother!
Best wishes,
Stan
