JB Weld is nontoxic when fully cured. Plus, the amount of epoxy used would be so small that any supposed danger from continual inhalation would be insignificant. It's relatively more dangerous just breathing the indoor pollutants in your house during the winter with all the windows closed. In...

Someone elsewhere reported successfully fixing the straw using an epoxy called JB Weld. Read here.

I posted an article in the Cannabis News and Activism section that involves your favourite vaporizer: Canada: Student using medicinal marijuana vaporizer inside Calgary high school

Student using medicinal marijuana vaporizer inside Calgary high school By Jeremy Nolais Metro January 5, 2014 link This is Noah Kirkman's marijuana vaporizer, which he uses inside his Calgary high school. Smoking marijuana on school property would land most high schoolers in the...

Haven't had a problem with the mouthpiece so far. I also pulled the bristles off in the same manner pretty early on, but that's mostly my fault although I guess one can also legitimately complain about how it's stored. Never experienced any offgassing, either--it was explained by the DV rep in...

I posted a bit about my experience using the oil cans with herbs here. I've never thought about leaving the top silicone piece off, but I suppose one could experiment with that. However, I use the oil cans to keep things tidy inside the vapourizer and removing the silicone piece would seem to...

About using the buds in the vapourizer for more than one session, another advantage of using the oil cans with buds (besides keeping the heating chamber fastidiously clean for neat freaks like me) is that you can pop it out of the chamber when you're done, thus the buds will cool down relatively...

I always assumed that the vapour from cannabis was colourless and invisible, so I was slightly antsy about the visible white "smoke", but I'm glad it's nothing to worry about. Anyway, I suspect this has been discussed to death many times before in these forums, so thanks for the reply.

Thanks for the answers, guys. I do occasionally see a whiff of visible white "smoke" coming out of the mouth piece. Excuse the naïveté, but what exactly is that?

I guess the people (including me) who use the oil cans with buds don't read this thread that often anymore; otherwise, someone would have answered you sooner. Anyway, I use the oil cans with buds for the same reason as you mentioned. I also place a spare screen inside the can to help prevent...

^ I haven't actually timed my new unit, but just going by a very rough estimate based on the number of times my unit auto-powered off after ten minutes on one charge, I would guess that it's lasting for somewhat less than an hour, and that's usually starting at 190 C (374 F) and raising the temp...

According to this post, the reason for the lower max temp is to improve efficiency, whatever that means.

According to this webpage (look near the bottom), these are the new features for the upgraded model: "Improved hinge for better chamber access and easier cleaning. Magnetic closure for tighter seal, recessed flexistraw threads for improved safety, and improved battery life (up to an hour and...

True, but like you said, you've been using it a lot, about 8 or more times a day. That's at least 720 sessions. If it were me, using it once per day, it would have lasted almost 2 years and I would have said to myself, "Oh well, it did last a while." I don't presume to know what the average...
