I got one of these from 420science.com and the protective zipper cover fell apart in 2 months. Kept it in my pocket mostly so I was shocked how flimsy it was, maybe I just got a lemon.

Just ordered one. Looks to be exactly what I needed.
I just need to have it separate from my e-cig, otherwise I'd be searching pockets all day.

Many vapes & accessories. Always happy to help
Ouch.... thanks for sharing your report. Hm. I like them a lot. Got 3 of each size for different vapes (Crafty, FF2, IQ...) No issues yet or signs of wear and tear.. Can you elaborate further what exactly happened? the zipper got loose? got detached..? I can't image - curious
Good move. I think it's really worth a shot. I found I don't need that detachable stash pocket. Can fit all my accessories in there plus an extra battery and charging cable... very nice.
Don't carry it around a lot so it does not see much 'moving' use - time will tell how good it holds up.
Be sure to let us know!
Btw, what color did ya choose?

So that fake leather/plastic lining that covers the zipper started cracking and splitting and then pieces started falling off. I don't live an adventurous life and the case gets put into my jacket pocket as soon as I'm done so I was pretty disappointed with how quickly it fell apart. The rest of the case is fine, just the lining that covers the zipper and holds the scent in.Ouch.... thanks for sharing your report. Hm. I like them a lot.

I went with the black one. The other ones are too light for me in color.
I need it for the IQ, battery, and stirrer. I always have my stash in another container.

Awesome case , i had one shipped to me around 2 years ago for free when i had ordered a grinder from them. The case is great , i travel all over with it , 0 smell , it is holding up really well and has nice spots inside to stash things. I like it more than the grinder i paid for and was really happy to have got it bc its something i most likely would have never ordered on my own but now that i have one , if i lost it , i would 100% buy it again.

Hi! I have a question for all IQ users. Going to buy one myself (upgrade from Summit) but there might be some issues.. I don’t believe there’s any CS for it in my country, but I really want this device. So, could you guys please give me some check-list? I mean, what should I do with the unit, to be sure that everything is fine? I’ve read about the lid of battery compartment and the bottom lid problems, but is there anything else?
I actually did design a taller version of the slim case to hold the vape with it's 10mm mouthpiece installed, unfortunately I couldn't find a way to add colors and case type options to my store so far, but I'll need to add that to my priority list.
I'm going to try and figure out how to fix my store to offer the taller case option. However in the meantime for anyone interested in the taller slim case can PM me for order instructions while I get things sorted out (been a bit crazy around the studio recently!)

Hey everyone, do you guys use 99.9 isopropyl alcohol.
i have been looking for 70 percent isopropyl alcohol but they dont sell it around here.
i am worried 99.9 might be too corrosive for the gasket, and maybe if it comes into contact with the paint and might mess up with the color of the device.
The device comes with 70 ipa wipes , so i wonder if higher content ipa is usable or not?
What do you guys say?
And lets see what @Davinci_vaporizer says?

Hi @Davinci, I got an iq 6 days ago and was really enjoying it until 2 days ago I noticed an odd rubbery smell like a hot water bottle, now I'm a bit worried. I've given it thorough clean out by swabbing deep inside the unit with iso as in your cleaning guide. I found what looks like a tiny fleck of silicon stuck to the gasket and the unit keeps letting off a vapor even after a full batteries worth of burn offs and the fleck removed. When I look down at the gasket the hole in the middle looks jagged. I will try again with cleaning but, where do I go from there if I have no luck this time?

Do you think 99 percent ipa will do any harm to the device ?
i am worried about the silicone parts,
i would still like to get an official response from @Davinci_vaporizer .
DaVinci has a YouTube video on how to deep clean the Iq.

I couldn’t tell you mate sorry. Makes sense that the higher % would be harder on the silicone parts though. I use to be really obsessive about cleaning mine, and now I go a while longer in between deep cleanings. The taste isn’t vastly improved with a spotless unit. I think the more I clean it the harder on the device it will be. I’m sure the less I fuck with it the longer it will last. Sometimes I can love my stuff to death

A couple of minutes of exposure to alcohol of any strength won't affect the silicone enough to matter. If you're really concerned, dilute the alcohol. 70% ISO is just 99% ISO with more water, but consider that more water makes it slower to evaporate, so unless you wipe them dry 99% ISO results in the least exposure.
You can purchase 70% isopropyl alcohol at your local pharmacy and/or grocery store. You'll want to start with the 70% because of the safer flammability level. It's just as effective as the 91%. Personally I use 70% and it does the job! I also use the brush which helps me too. How often do you clean your oven? I make it a habit to do so after each session.

When you say "clean your oven", do you mean you recommend cleaning with isopropyl after ever session?

i empty the oven before letting it cool, while its still hot, i use a toothpick to clean out the oven( i find it better than the included keychain tool, and the toothpick is disposable
And after the oven is empty i use the brush to take out the remaining bits.
i load the oven again and have another session, after 4-5 sessions i do a deep clean, i clean the oven with iso.
So far i have been using an alcohol that i bought from pharmacy, no one could tell for sure the percentage of alcohol.
Now i bought an isopropyl rated at 99.6 or sth and i was worried it could melt the rubber gasket behind the oven. it would be a disaster
