Hi guys.
On this latest batch there should have been none but one was found to have a few beads in it. So for this latest run, we cut open all 200 of them and found one pipe had 3 beads in it.
So at least now we can officially confirm that they now have zero. We are also using a new ceramic coating. Titanium Ceramic. And it does not require beads to make it. This new ceramic is Titanium based rather than Chrome based. The Titanium ceramic coating has more of a metallic matt finish, better thermal insulating abilities and has a higher temperature limit. It also costs a bit more than the Chrome ceramic but we will keep the same sale price during this introductory period.
All of the ART pipes are now at the ceramic coaters facility being recoated with the Titanium . And no ceramic beads are used in this process!!!
Once they come out of the ceramic coaters we will ship them out immediately.
We are also starting another production run right away. The 200 we have here are pretty much sold out as soon as they are finished.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
Tony
PS - any one who currently has the Chromex ceramic ART pipes and would like to upgrade it to the Titanium ceramic send me a PM.
