5 star, this monster hits way better than Dyna. The build quality is top notch, fit and feel in the hand is amazing. If you are reading this stop what you are doing and buy one now.
Angry Italian-
When I saw the pre-order emails I was tempted, because everything I've bought from Austyn is high quality, functions on point, and I love the simple and elegant aesthetic. However, since I have a number of good butane and battery vapes already, I couldn't immediately justify another.
Then the reviews started to come out as the pre-orders and early adopters received their devices, and the feedback was so overwhelmingly positive that I decided to buy one. It took me two attempts since they sell out fast, but now that I've had my Simrell TED for a few days I'm blown away. Like others have said, this device has relegated my former favorites to the shelf; my Dynas, Tempest, TM2, etc. are all gathering dust.
The vapor quality is stellar, and though I laughed at the idea of "creamy vapor" when I saw the Sneaky Pete live, it really is an apt description. The heat retention is so much better than my Tempest, and the flavor is better as well. The heat up in the Wand is very similar to the Tempest, yet the cooldown is much faster on the Simrell. To me, this device is the most joint-like experience yet and I can get 5 or 6 good size hits on one heat up, with full extraction at the end. The full device feels great in the hand, with perfect weight and nice balance, substantial, but not clunky or heavy. Finally, I just love the elegance of all the Simrell products, Austyn has a great eye for design.
I've already ordered the stand, since they were sold out when I bought the device, and I look forward to getting some gallery sleeves and other bits and bobs as the Simrell TED ecosystem is built upon. Just buy it, you won't be disappointed!
Beautiful walnut grain, sparkling polished titanium, outstanding cooling. I thought this stem would be a great intro to the Simrell Collection. While I was tempted by the inaugural Simrell Vapey Vape, I like the look of a full wood stem, and I could use this on my Mighty+ and Lobo with the POTV adaptors. If I liked it, I could go for an Extraction Engine sometime later.
Later lasted a week and I’ll have to order another stem to use with the other vapes. My Simrell “Woody” is only coming apart for cleaning. Light, perfectly balanced, tasty, I’m thrilled with this purchase.
Very nice to get the extra sleeves is so cool and these are nice when your out in the trail especially the red!
Makes native hits more tolerable for the back of my throat. Feels like a get closer to a WP hit without needing it.
