Yeah my 30Q from Funky isn't a dud, but does not retain a charge as well as, or last as long as, my LG HG2s (a test sample of one to three lol) eh they all work well enough :shrug: I suppose I could try doing the maximize battery life stuff, should probably try shorter cruise sessions, but whatever it hasn't really slowed me down much since I have spares and other great vapes ofcourse... I would like to solve for the low battery error though, but not a huuuge deal for now, maybe when the next software update is ready? I know FJ is a busy man

Would the 5 amp difference be the reason?

Because tubo draws like 17+ amps at a time,battery needs to be able to handle 20A continuos (which gets harder when it is half-way drained) .:) Also there is huge difference when you run things to the very edge of their capabilities and when on 70%.
--------------
I remembered to add something else about my usage pattern. I dont drain batteries under 40% cause ,they arent performing as good as fresh ones,when doing back to back sessions with same battery it gets very hot and gets even hotter,so this raises the overall temp of the tubo which leads to device too hot message at times + i get no atomizer found when below 25% at times, so.... i got around by switching batteries. Even when i am not at home. I switch batteries between session,so the used one can cool while the fresh one is in use :).
I think the battery weights almost as much as the tubo,so i imagine that it plays a huge role in getting the chip hot. Also a note that crappy batteries are running hotter overall than good ones.

Didn't know the Tubo evic needed so many amps to operate, so the Samsung 25R and LG G2'S are the best batteries to run this unit from what I understand.
I'm glad we're having this conversation, learning more and more about the unit, what I'm still having trouble understanding is the "cruise control" option.

No it's the same for the HG2, I told you already that it was clearly on the edge with your 70W setting with all these ~18A cells (that include the VTC6 and the 30Q) You should use real 20A cells to be safe and avoid overheating and/or weak battery messages.

So 25R, HE2/HE4 or VTC5.

But FJ and me disagree on the matter. Your collective reports on the other hand tend to hint that I"m not so wrong... :p

I've been using Lg HG2 batteries since I received my Tubo, they work great for me! I can easily get 3-4 or more cruise sessions out of a battery. I do tend to do back to back sessions though so that probably contributes.

Because tubo draws like 17+ amps at a time

Not trying to nitpick, just relevant I think!

in fact i am pretty sure the mod/firmware limits current to 17.1A, i have not seen values over that with the 30Q set as battery (preset for all units). and when the battery is not able to supply the 17A anymore it displays weak battery and watts go down to ~60W at max.

first some fuel for the discussion with @KeroZen and other interested ones:
pgjPuS8.jpg

these three draws are high draw rate from completly cold(21gedC). the first draw is using a lot of energy during the whole draw, heatup of the tubes/bowl/material, pid overshoots. from the second on and on you can see that the heater is only briefly operating at full power.

up next, an aggressive preheat at 260C, NO draw for 25 seconds, followed by a fast draw at 220C.

The cruise setting is having the heater always on at your temp setting as opposed to standard on demand mode with the trigger. Both are on demand really bc of fast heat up and pure convection only cooking when you inhale, but cruise allows for more heat soaking which could lead to some radiation and conduction depending on your bowl, but still pure convection like a desktop that is always on (ssv and logs). The experiences aren't really that dissimilar with various benefits to each mentioned recently here. Not much more to it? Unless I missed something for you

Hey guys, I just snagged a tubo off the classifieds. It is coming with a longstem and @DDave mod stem and a concentrate stem (unless those are the same thing, I'm not sure). Are there any stems that are must-haves for the tubo? I'm going to probably order a braided whip but I want to try and snag whatever is comsidered to help make an optimized experience! I do have some RBT stems already if that's helpful.

Knew that thing would go fast! Welcome to the club :).

The Ddave stems, the long Tubo stem, and RBT stems are all perfect for the Tubo; you'll have all your bases covered! With those options you don't NEED any other stems but..

Funkyjunky also offers a short stem which I find really handy for attaching the whip to the Tubo. The whip will fit the long stem as well but I just find it easier to manage with the short stem.

My favourite stem to hit of all the ones I have is the bent stem. Has a good length to it to help cool the vapour/catch particles but doesn't feel as awkward to me as the long stem. It's also good for attaching the whip! If you take advantage of the bend you can use the whip to help keep the stem pulled into the Tubo. Makes it easy to walk around the house with the whip or to hand it off to people


Edit: Funky also sells a WPA if you'll be planning on using the Tubo through water

Right on! If none of those cool the vapor enough for you, go straight for the whip. It's my favorite setup.

Ddave's concentration chamber is 2 pieces- one a 14mm stem that goes into a larger 18mm adapter. Works great. Ddave's stems are different and fit into a whip. His 4 pack preloaded stems are what I use with the tubo and whip. There's a screen in the stem and another screen with a rim that goes on top. So simple to fill.

I love my whips and and am going to buy more accessories when the store opens. But if you live in the US and are only going to buy a whip, given the shipping cost to the US, it would be less expensive to get one from Alan. If you let him know it's for an 18mm it will work well.

Your timing was spot on (as the Brits say).

I was using a vapor cooler like the one pictured, and I realized that even with a top temp of 210 C I still scorched my cannabis because I could inhale a great big rip and not even taste the scorched taste until the exhale.

Do you lower temp when using a water tool? Pack higher in the vapor cooler?? Limit length of inhale? Would using a microdose (only 1 rip) solve the issue?

PS I enjoy my @DDave mods and use them all the time.

Hey @sickmanfraud
What I've found works best is an encapsulated herb oven within the cooler itself.
I use a rimless basket screen, installed internally to the cooler, pushed back till the bottom of that basket reaches the end of the ground glass within the cooler. (Leave that little space in the back open)
Load herbs loosely no more than 1/2 the volume of the internal herb chamber.
Then cap that cooler off with a rimmed basket screen.

This allows the hot air to be better distributed throughout the herb. Also removing the cooler, with this setup, and giving it a small shake is all the "stir" you need...
This allowed me to use the tubo at 210C (even a bit higher), without scorching.

(If you're packing a basket screen which is installed at the tip of the cooler, definitely drop temps to avoid scorching).

PS I enjoy my @DDave mods and use them all the time.

Thanks! Glad to hear this!! :rockon:

When you say your favorite is the bent stem - do you mean the bent short or bent long? thx for clarifying

Edit: There is no short bent so you meant your favorite is the long bent and you find the short useful for whip. These are the 2 I ordered. :-) Ignore me.

2 weeks of heavy daily tubo usage...(well I can't lie a lil omnivap here and there...discreet:shrug:)

..to put it plainly for me this thing is pretty much exactly what I need/want when medicating. I haven't done anything other than just turn it on and use it as is, mainly with the whip...as others have said whips pretty ideal. It's amazing how easy it is to draw big clouds and not worry about charring. Sometime after several big hits I dump the abv and I swear the color has barely darkened. All my other vapes while I can get big tasty hits I must respect the combustion demons peering around the corner but with tubo I feel like I can rip it without regard...pretty nice feeling. Kinda like my old bong rippin days..:clap:

I know not about technology....that is not my field, but it def seems like the dry herb MJ vaping world will benefit greatly from people like @funkyjunky using these mod box things to create awesome MJ comsuming machines! (Before I had a tubo I had no idea what a mod was...besides the FC mods..:wave:) but it seems like this is the future...:science:

Only thing is it's not the most discreet vape in the world...kinda looks like I'm sucking on a tiny robot..but peeps are prob more confused than anything else..:cool:
And truly all that matters is how I feel after :razz:

Continuing to love this tubo!!

I am sorry to keep asking for help, but I have no recollection of exactly which button or combination of buttons to push to get to the temperature settings.

I have been going around in circles. I guess I could always reinstall the firmware and start from scratch.

I went back through the last 10 days posts and I could not find an answer.

first: very glad the tubo is delievering!


@sickmanfraud
i am not sure in which mode you are. you should see "TCR" on the top left corner of the screen. if that is the case the minus and plus button should change set temperature.

if you have something else in the top left corner, like "power" for example. you are in a different mode.
tripple click fire to get into edit mode, the top left text should start to flash. click '+' until you are at TCR again. accept with a fire click.

hope this helps, otherwise show us pics, please.


on tubo.lamart.ch the point "activate power mode" contains this piece of information as well.
