So It was a long wait (not a few months Ghost anxiety this was like over a year!) but she arrived and damn she is sexy.
Big brother to the Milaana the Zion is the regulated twin 18650 model, and yes this thing fucking rocks!
Real convection powerhouse here, and also a very limited production so you won't see them all over the place which is both a shame and also kinda cool. Love it already but I will post more when I get some time with it.
I paid $300 for mine as it was a pre-order from last year.
The problem with the Zion is/was the amount of work and machining that goes into each one (as it's cut from a solid piece of wood) so it has sort of been discontinued to concentrate on the Milaana and the Splinter.
You might be able to find one in the classifieds, sign up for the 420edc newsletter and hope they have a spare, but they will get snapped up quickly. This isn't to say the Zion is completely finished but it has been sort of shelved for now.
The Splinter seems to be the commercially viable alternative to Zion and should start making an appearance in the next few months.
He was working on the last batch now, no idea how many that was but they were pre sold I think ( I would say most probably ). These were in the works for a couple of years and it's a shame more people didn't hold out for one, makes them all the more special though.
Production might be done unless he makes some at a future date due to demand, no telling with Ryan as he operates on the dharma principle, anything is possible.
So I recently found out that the Zion is officially over and no more will get made :( .
Really am blessed to have snagged one of these before the final cut though and it will be a vape I will keep for my vapelife.
In the end these vapes were too costly to produce and even though they are gone the technology is continuing with the Splinter which is launching soon.
I spoke to Ryan tonight and he has a few left. Wants these last ones to go to special people.
There are a few more going out beyond VC's and a few he sent out already. Ryan is spreading some holiday spirit especially to those who have helped him along the way.
He also sent some Splinter out recently so things are moving along.....
