Your username is your email address. I didn't have a password so I chose the "Forgot Password" link and the system sent me one. I logged in and then was able to put items in my cart and go through the check out process.

Although I did receive an invoice, my card has not been charged yet so I am assuming you are not supposed to be able to get into that part of the site yet....

You would think they would have a larger presence here on ECF, I know I would...

Looks like they are on to you. The just disabled accounts and passwords. I tried the Forgot Password" link and a warning came up that accounts and passwords are disabled.:D

I heard from Ploom regarding my order!

"Thank you for your order. You have the distinction of being our very first web order, the only problem is, we did not turn on our eCommerce function or the ability to sign in for an account. We discovered that that you were able to sign in due to a gap in the backend (forgot password) which we have since resolved."

Maybe next week!?!?

Looks like something designed for hipsters on macs with more money than sense. LOL. It just looks dumb to me. Like it should be in someone's .... at the hospital. LOL!
That'd be an "interesting" trip once the heating element in the Ploom got switched on. "A whole new kind of vaping experience!"

They sure are pushing the "buzz" angle. They keep posting news of hip tasting parties in California. They keep not shipping the product. They announce the web site's having gone on-line (but you could get on there before it "went on-line"; was something different there once it "went on-line"? I didn't notice much that was different.) And they keep not shipping the product.

Did I remember to mention that they keep not shipping the product? Wonder WTH's going on there.

Think I'll stock up on some more e-liquid.

Still have no idea what sort of 'x dollars per day' habit that thing will turn into (IOW, how long each of those 'pods' is likely to last... in the real world).

Maybe they're spending some more time on R&D, figuring out how to make those "pods" so that the clever and enterprising modders of the ECF can't refill 'em. :)

You know, there are regular people in SF, too! There are even... Republicans!
Yeah, sure there are. In the wax museum, maybe. "Ooooh, mommy! What's that?" "That's what Republicans used to look like, sweetheart. I know -- I think he's kind of scary-looking, too." "I'm too scared to go to sleep tonight now!" "Don't you worry, sweetheart. We had our city CouncilPersons Mr. McChe and Mr. McBeria dispose of them. They can't hurt you now..." "Mommy! You're LYING to me! That icky wax man is still breathing!"

I suppose the next thing you're going to tell me is that they have some in Berkeley, too.

<blink> Oh. Right. Ploom. Sorry. :)

Hey Mikea, fellow Sea-Town vaper :D I'm with you. I think these pods and the whole thing looks like its made to be terribly expensive, and a lot of RnD seems to have gone into image on these things. Just not really my style. I'm more of DIY'er ... The pods remind of coffee pod coffeemakers that end up running your wallet empty with not much return.

You're dith-spickable! :mad: :rolleyes:
 
It sounds like a device like this could be made lighter, longer lasting, and more reliable than an electronic ones. no more dead attys, wicking problems, or waiting to recharge batteries! Plus the flame could heat up e-liquid (or maybe e-gel pellet?) to produce much more vapor with a lighter draw.
I think someone should start working on this idea to work with current e-liquid. The Plume device looks like a good idea but it could definitely be improved on..
