It's already been mentioned here and in the Qorax review that the second batch is going to be Titanium

We will, but we will be moving in another facility soon and the TI version will take us around 2-3 months to finish it.
Looks like electronicstix got their delivery, only a matter of time! The GEM by Mark Bugs – ElectronicStix.Com
Where does it say they received delivery? VapinArt has had a GEM product listing since before they shipped to vendors.

I'm just assuming they did because they have pictures with their normal background.
Hmmm. I'm going to only get one and hold off on the other one till the TI version is released so that it will not make my TI wizard top heavy.
Or I could get two for my WAEII. Yup, still getting two.
I wonder if this has been cloned yet....cloners are getting silly fast....like they are at the design tables, eh.
Only several problems with that. No one has successfully cloned a MB product. The chalice may be cloned but it's only a dripper instead of a bottom feed. They also won't be able to clone a fine piece of jewelry. MB has so many supporters that not a single person in this thread will buy a clone. MB's performance also cannot be cloned.
Did I say that fine jewelry cannot be cloned?
Agreed with all of this...MB does have a unique product. Good hand from the WAE2 and Chalice, appeals to all of the senses indeed.
I think the chances of a 1:1 clone are pretty much non-existent. For example,the hybrid/510 thing doesn't really offer an advantage to non-MB customers and adds a lot of expense. Also, there are some really complicated pieces to manufacture (e.g., the chimney is a work of art), which a clone would probably kludge another way to reduce costs.
In the end, I think it would make more sense for them to implement the ideas in a new RTA rather than just try to clone it. That way they don't have to build to the same level of tolerances as required by MB's design to make it work. So in the end, you might see a new RTA with a 510 base having an integrated AFC ring and build deck that screws into the chamber. It may come from China, but China isn't the only place to copy ideas.
I didn't get the newsletter, I know I signed up for it - could you please paste it in here. Thanks
I posted a snip in the other Gem thread...using Tapatalk right now so cannot repost it here...

Ugh. Anyone else having this problem - I can't connect to the MB website. I tried Explorer, Chrome, Firefox, and Safari. Same message: cannot open because the server cannot be found. I have the site bookmarked since I set up my account ages ago. It also fails when I click on the link on the 1st post in the thread for resellers.
