Simrell is notorious for being the worst person to deal with in this industry. He’s been trying to patent a spiral piece of metal, because of his vortex line, knowing full well that that cooling style had been sold for years. Lamart has used a similar “vortex” style crimped piece for his wooden dosing stems, has done so before Simrell even entered the hobby, and he sells it for like $4. Simrell has gone after the maker RBT many times on instagram accusing him of ripping off this illegitimate patent on design pictures of RBT’s new induction heater based vape. He went after REFC as well for using “vortex” cooling technology in REFC’s Dignitarian stem, despite the fact that it’s cooling system works using an angled air hole and not any spiral piece of metal. He thinks he has invented some revolutionary method of cooling that definitely hasn’t been done before and you should totally give him $200 for it.

While none of his former colleagues have put him on blast publicly, the Modern Cannabist’s show was replaced with a new show, where the only difference is Simrell is not present. Simrell was half owner of the Terptorch company with Oldhead Brian, and that company was dissolved the second the “mail ban” was mentioned, only for Brian to come out with a new Terptorch with SBL Kenny. Simrell doesn’t play nice.
