I would like to express my gratitude to the GrabCAD team for the work that went into making the Rock Vapor Challenge a success. We received some incredible entries and I have every expectation that we will be able to produce a winning personal vaporizer design that consumers will be proud to own. I would also like to thank Tommy Mueller, who helped us every step of the way in the execution of this Challenge.
The designers themselves who participated far exceeded my expectations. The designs we received are very professionally done, and in many cases represent a major upgrade and reinvention of the PV as we know it today! Congratulations to the 14 designers who were selected as the finalists of the Rock Vapor Challenge; I can tell you it was a very difficult decision for the panel as there were so many quality designs in the entry pool.
Congratulations to the winners!
Beautiful renderings, presentation and clear design intent. Way to go, Cameron! Its unique PV form and design concept enables the future of vaporizers to a ""never leave home without it"" kind of feeling. Like it's namesake (Tactical), this vaporizer is ready and well equipped for vape action and shops. Two notable features in this design that set it apart from the others are: storing of e-Liquid and safety switch when not in use.

We like the look, digital read-out, and the way it's all put together. A strong second place winner, Kafe's design embodies traditional PV form factors but achieved an elegant and aesthetic approach. Terrific combination of straight lines and curves. The presentation is great with renderings and informative details; nice PV case too! We especially like the lanyard and ""signature series"" features.

Unique design, looks very user friendly Unique and futuristic. Great presentation and a highly innovative design. Apart from the ingenious form factor & inner case, this design works well with color, appealing to a larger audience of users; men & women.

Very well done renderings and branding, complete package - nice design with lots of options. Anouar Barodi had several designs, but this last one was his best; #5. Similar to his other entries, this final design has an easily adaptable form to manufacture, and presented with high quality renders.

Great job Greg; one of our favorite designs! Its clear the form factor alone creates it's own unique identity, and proof of a solid design concept. It feels young, next generation and we like the accessories.

Unique and futuristic. We like the really slick appearance! The triangle is a perfect form for display, carry, and usage. It's great that there is adequate design space for all the components too!

Awesome curves! Looks nostalgic but modernized for today's user and products; highly attractive and could use more branding.

Nice renderings with good detail. Looks not only like the future of personal vaporizers, but the future of ""lightsabers"" too! The ""Tron-esque"" patterned body is definitely cool too.

Straight forward design with an easy to manufacture concept. We think some improvements to the ease of use and storage would make this even better.

Good basic design that we would like to see with more detail and more details on the design thinking.
