This forum has a great spirit and is very helpful, it's a pleasure to give a bit in return. Big thanks to all active members here! The other thread is "Aura Hybrid". The "Flowermate" is now a large family, too large for a single thread, i guess.

Here's a quick review of the Aura, after 2 months or so of use. It might be a bit late, but i think this device is worth the wait. I don't have experience with expensive vapes, i can only compare with the original Flowermate, Titan 2 and a Pax clone which was a complete waste (i learned my...

Hi all, FT -> FastTech. I don't have the serial number to verify, but i'm confident that's a legit one. Thanks to OF and KeroZen, you guys are of great help :) After a bit more experimentation, i think my device is OK, it just needs a bit more practice to master. The heater is surely under...

Hi there, I got finally my Aura recently (from FT), after a loooong wait. Coming from the first generation FM and a Titan 2, i appreciate the increased airflow, nice taste and all, a bit hot, overall i'm impressed with the vape quality so far. I didn't use it long enough to comment on the mouth...

Thanks, crossing fingers. Of course, 15$ extra is not much for safety, better customer support, speedy delivery, avoiding import taxes, etc. However, for those not living in USA or Europe, sourcing this kind of stuff might be a very different sport. FastTech is a relatively trusted vendor: they...

Waiting for a dirt cheap FM Aura (35 USD @ FastTech, with an expired rebate code, sorry guys)... It is still attractive there at 43.80$ with shipping. Meanwhile, i'm still happy with my basic 1st generation Flowermate, which starting working really well only after i lost the mesh of the mouth...

Looks like the company is called Josun (check on Ali), they also make the Aida and the VT1.0 (also on FastTech). Too bad there's so little information about all these, because they all look quite OK to me.

Thanks for the review, FrigginRights. So it can't compete with devices 5 times more expensive. But, it would be better compared to other cheap conduction devices like the Titan and Vapormax. They do work for many with some practice, so i don't really understand the "This will not work". Hey i...

Hi all, There's a new vaporizer listed today on a well known retail store: the Aida (https://www.fasttech.com/products/1986600). It's cheap (44.90$), small, variable temperature control, metal housing, decent battery size. It looks like another interesting effort from an unidentified Chinese...

Smiss has also a new design: the G3. Looks like a pen vape with a temp control knob. http://smissecig.en.alibaba.com/product/1905122103-219915484/2014_new_dry_herb_weed_flower_2600mah_adustable_temperature_replaced_a_big_battery_vaporizer_vaporizer_pen_portable_vaporizer.html

Do the new ones still come with the original mouth piece, or only the glass one? Smiss has also a new design: the G3. Looks like a pen vape with a temp control knob...

Thanks for the feedback. So that won't be that simple: viscosity, stickiness, thermal properties of the material, gravity... What if the coil/chimney is mounted horizontally? In RDAs, the holes are usually on the side. The excess concentrate could flow by the sides to the bottom of the wick...

Hi every body, complete newbie here :) Any one tried something that could be called a "hollow coil" or "vaporizing tube"? The idea is to use the coil as a tube, making sure the air flow passes though. That should be easy to build, in principle. Just lay the wicking material on the outside of...
