Congrats team! We have hit the minimum number of folks needed to make the 2ZM a reality :) The winners of the 100 contest have been notified. To say thanks, I gave away a 3TM, a newly released 8RD and an Olive wood Vapman from the boys in Italy. I appreciate all of your efforts in making this a reality.
In order to centralize communications I will be transitioning content to the web page and away from any forums or social media. Moving forward I will check-in when I hit milestones such as, Ordering parts, Assembling the Beta units, beta team selection and team evaluation, order point for the production material and final verification before shipment. This process will take 9 - 12 months to compete so please be patient along the way.
In the mean time, I have the 3TM, 19DX and the 8RD listed on the site which is the source of the revenue that I need to continue to operate as the 2ZM is being completed. So far, sale of these products is slow so 2 additional designs are being completed along with the 2ZM in order to try and create cash flow to get Herbaltherm off the ground in 2024.
Toss in the mix the hopes to put the desktop in a box by year end and moving from Cali back to NY in order to have the facilities to build the 2ZM and this will be the most challenging year of my life.
This week I will get a hold of our friends at Futo to give them a heads up that we are officially kicking off the project and make the payment for the non-reoccurring engineering, tooling and fixturing, etc that is needed to get the beta samples in motion. I will also look into the best way to get the samples made for the glass hold-down plate and back door. The process to get beta parts in to start the beta build should be 3 - 4 as I need to source the parts first, then send them to FUTO to fit-up the beta wood as it is made as well as extended shipping between the US and Canada.
I am really excited to do this cross-over product taking all the best from the learning of Zion, Milaana (1,2,3), Splinter, and the Zion M to create the first anchor product for HerbalTherm.

Full speed ahead. Damn the torpedoes. The older I get the more I dislike winter and cold weather in general….just sayin’
Very happy to see everything consolidated Here. Excited for the updates as they release. Hoping everyone feels comfortable adding their $0.02. All hail the 2zm! Already have an idea for village feel when the beta is done…
Can’t wait for the future and how this baby evolves!
Hell yeah man! Excited to be a part of this and see the journey unfold. Time to buckle up!
