Good day folks. I am not certain how many folks are familiar with Massdrop. A neat site for sure. Basically polls are created by users, when an item reaches 200 votes then Massdrop contacts the makers to organize a special pricing. There have been many items from Toaks that show up. Here’s a link to a poll I created:

Alcohol Stoves – Massdrop

The only thing I would like out of it would be a slightly lower cost for a few of use stovies. I need 198 more folks to vote for the Toaks stove in order for it to be considered for a “drop”. A “drop” is their phrase for a sale. While I don’t NEED another alcohol stove,a double walled titanium stove would be a nice addiction to my stove addiction. Thanks folks. Please share with your friends.

EDIT: Link fixed.

I've found Massdrop an excellent service, with the added benefit of very cheap (and prompt) international shipping.
P.S. Your link doesn't work on my iPhone.

Anyone use this?

I'm finding it hard to justify the high price tag besides being able to say it's a double waller titanium stove. What's the performance like?

With so many good stoves under $15 why pay double?

I just voted for the Siphon; looks nice!

I also added the Ti-Tri…

I don't like the Toaks mugs, the handles get hot from the stove and I don't like being in panic mode when water is about to boil over and I can't get a pot gripper or glove on fast enough. Besides, I already have 120 stoves, even some alcohol ones. :)

Thanks for the feedback all. I simply started the poll with two titanium alcohol stoves. Thank you for adding the additional stoves. I was told that if the poll catches a few more votes then it will be featured in the daily email.

I encourage you all to pick some of your favorite gear and suggest it in a poll. It will help everyone out.

Thanks again.

Good day all. The poll has just over half the required votes. I believe this poll may come into fruition. Thanks folks.

Can't stand "membership buying" sites. Monitoring of deals, sign-ups, e-mail spam, etc. Too much hassle to be perfectly honest. I would rather pay a bit more and buy just the item I want at the time i need it. And it better ship out same day.

EDIT: not sure if this is off-topic, read the post incorrectly first – thought it was about poll on massdrop itself (like/dislike).

The item may be good and all and can be great way to get items that are unavailable, but as mentioned – not a fan of the mechanism.

Thank you for the input. I agree somewhat but I am hoping that the cliche "good things come to those who wait" will hold true. Thanks again.

Good day all. I am not sure who all have viewed this poll but it's getting close to the required 200 votes. For those interested the current count is 146 votes. Thanks.

For those following the pole, it is at 163 votes. It's in the home stretch.

Thanks.

The poll has met the required 200 votes. I do not have an ETA for when the drop will become active. Thanks all. Matt
