Production nearly finished!
almost 9 years ago – Sat, Jun 24, 2017 at 11:08:19 PM

Hello backers!

"This is the moment we've all been waiting for"!

Production is nearly complete. Product and progress porn below.

All that remains now is the QC inspection but a 3d party which includes expensive material tests (to ensure the steel really is 316) and heat retention. 350 random flasks will be picked by the 3d party and tested.

Then it's transfer of the run to the logistics company which will start shipping the flasks to you all. The shipping will take 2-3 weeks and will start in about 1-2 weeks so please be patient.

You will be getting your flasks very soon now so please just wait for the shipping emails and don't flood us with "when is it when is it are we there yet" emails.

Looks like we're nearly there! Thank you to all of you for your enduring support and faith - it was and is really appreciated!

Production under way, shipping soon

Hello Forever Flask supporters!

Works have been under way and we're half way through production.

To get there we had the final engineering samples, tested those, results were good, including reports from a couple of beta testers who really loved the early access versions!

All moulds have been engraved with our details as agreed after final sign off which has now been done.

Here are some images as promised and please just wait for the next update. I hope you have now come to realise we're not going anywhere, Forever Flasks will be finished and sent out soon. 

We hope to finish production in 2 weeks, then 1-2 weeks for random inspection and QC and start shipping to all of you! Will update specific timelines soon.

Changing address etc

Hello - getting a lot of questions about address changes.

If you need to do so - go to https://forever-flask.backerkit.com/ and type in your email address, it should send you an email to you with the survey link.

If it does not - please email [email protected].

Production started!

Hello backers and followers!

We're really happy and excited to announce that production has started!

We tested all the last engineering samples, quality was good, heat retention was good, we could not find any faults or reasons not to start production - so we started it.

Nothing really to report aside from this.

The timelines are as follows:

• Finish production mid-end of June
• Start shipping end of June
• Backers start getting their rewards mid July

I have seen quite a few people ask about address changes and have been unlocking the surveys ad-hoc but will unlock all of them to make it easier.

Please note that you need to change your address in Backer Kit, NOT in KS/IGG.

That covers all the main things, here's to the final push to the finish line!

Production starting soon!

Hello wonderful backers and supporters!

Great news finally.

We have received the (as we were hoping) final engineering samples last week.

We have been testing them vigorously and we're super excited to report that they passed! Heat retention has been fantastic and we get around 75-80 C after 12 hours consistently. (that's with 95C water being poured in at the start)

There is also very little heat radiating externally as you can see on the attached photos.

So we're going to be... 

...Starting production!! 

(soon after we've tallied up all the colours, options, etc. A week or 2 at most including everybody in China getting ready)

Time-wise we hope to start production within the next 2 weeks and start shipping around beginning of June.

I will send another update soon with some photos of the updated units (not much in it, some small tweaks, the rest is not visible).

Thanks again for your continued support and patience and looks like we're nearly there!

All the best,

Mike Dewhirst
