Same here. I never remember to count after the first toke or two hits.

1 Battery load = a bowl load, once you learn to use it right. The bowl isn't that large.
Messing with my MFLB recently - I realize I need TWO SETS of batteries to finish a MFLB trench, even though you can put more in there. With my MFLB - I usually need to carry a box with the glass stem, battery, extra battery, and MFLB itself.
With a ThermoVape - you get a "cleaner" and tastier bowl. I like to carry my t1 with me now, because there is less smell, and it's one convenient piece.

im 1pair=2bowl, after about 5-6 pulls on the first bowl i find the herb greenish still, i give it a good stir and try to see if i can get more vapor out of it... but nothing. so i am not sure if im doing "it right" but im still able to get the core glowing bright orange after dumping out the herb... so i add in another bowl.
so am im using my t1 to heat up my herb to its full potential? do u get the same greenish tinge to your herb or is ur herb straight brown after?

If I use the Revolution mouthpiece, + coarse grind, I get a SUPER DARK spot in the middle. I can try to take a picture later. However, I can taste it when it gets dark like that - that is my gauge of when it is done. I skip mixing it - since it won't taste that great if one spot was super dark.
There probably is more to be used, if I mixed it around. And, I have not tried using a second bowl on the same set of batteries, because I am usually on-the-go.
I've only been using my TV on-the-go - so I don't bother bringing anything else like extra herb, a brush, batteries etc - since that one bowl is usually all I need!

Im luving my T1 more and more everyday. Last night me n seven cousins(8 in total) were cyphering the T1 for the 3rd and 4th quarters of the Superbowl.They say they prefer the T1 over the LB. The only issue is the obvious "hot cup of coffee" grip that you have to master. lol the only complaint from my fam last night was that more batteries were needed. I cant wait for the power adapter

Great Scott!
I hopefully will have mine today and me and a friend who uses the MFLB and swears by it can give it a go. One session each with our own batteries each time is the plan. Going to see a The Woman in Black...so hopefully it gets me nice and medicated before. You can expect an honest report. Unlike others, if it doesn't work right away, I'm more than willing to put in the time to figure it out. No unrealistic expectations here.

Well, what can i say?
Thermovape guys has not replied to my three last e-mails.
After i tried everything they said and it still wont work, they now dont answer anymore.
A bit disapointed at this moment!

So, how many emails were replied to? Did you exhaust all their suggestions? What was the last step discussed (another test or returning the unit)? They are awfully busy, it took almost a week for me to get a reply from them a week or so back.
Finally, what is the issue? Is your unit defective (I guess a couple of several thousand have been?) or is it a use issue? The huge majority of guys seem to have few if any problems to sort out and rapidly 'fall in love with their T1'. What are the details?

when i first got my t1, i open it and smelt the bowl in side and gave it a couple dry pulls with the core heated, i did smell a hint of plastic when it was fresh out the jar but after a day it was gone, like OF said, had a few problems trying to get the hits i wanted but after you get the hang of it im starting to love my t1 a little more each day. i have not had any problems with it "not working"
.only couple things i wish were on the t1 to make it more ideal for me.
bigger bowl - i dont know if any of you guys are daily users but one bowl does not seem to get me where i usually want to be, 1st bowl= feeling it, 2nd bowl= high, 3rd bowl= stoned.
button press for heater core - i get sweaty palms sometimes especially if im holding a warm to the touch device and i find myself sometimes pulling on my t1 without realizing its not on, overall i dont really like the slide switch, to keep a good amount of pressure upwards on the slide switch while vaping is like making me work to get my treat *vapor*, i would much rather have a button but from a durability stand point i can see why the chose the switch.

What do you mean by 'higher quality'? Have you had defective units fail on you?
AFAIK the specified battery is top of the heap for this use. The TV makers did a lot of research and testing and they're using these guys (750mAh) far outside their specs to get the performance needed. For instance, the same maker's 900mAh units (generally a better choice under the 'bigger is better' banner) are not recommended as they perform worse.
I bet if you can find a rechargable 123 cell with higher energy density and the same or higher peak current abilities TV would be most interested in that information to update their product.

I was wondering, I am planning on buying
x10 Thermovape Batteries- $31.25
http://www.amazon.com/Tenergy-RCR12...S5OA/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1328582032&sr=8-2
I am trying to find a charger that would charge more than 2 batteries at a time (hopefully can charge 6-8).
Anyone know of a charger that would do this?

Ehm, 8 mails total 3 not answered, i sent the first, you do the math
heheYes, tried everything they said. Nothing helped. Last he told me to do was to take off the o-ring and se if i could get it further in, the heater that is
The main issue is that it stopped working suddenly.
exactly 14 bowls and then kaputt.And i had a issue with nasty taste when the unit was very hot. But i am guessing the nasty taste has something to do with why it sudenly stopped working? I dont know.
Last mail i sent them i asked if i should send them the faulty heater.

Thanks for the details, while I'm generally pretty good at math, I can't figure out your puzzle. Subtracting 3 'not answered' leaves five. You led, they followed (2). You came back, they responded (2 more). If you sent number 5 and the total is 8 they either ignored your last four or something else is off. No matter, they were responsive.
As to the failure, I doubt it's a heat core issue. There are two elements in there in parallel, the chances of both 'burning out' at the same instant are mighty slim. Troubleshooting theory would point to other areas where a single point failure could explain the status. Like the o-ring issues (backing the switch out) others have seen. Or a switch failure. I assume you've tried other batteries, they sometimes fail to open which would cause what you see. I assume you don't have access to a meter to make some measurements? While I understand questioning the core, I'd suggest including the switch with the return package.
As to the smell, I'm not sure what to say. There just isn't anything in there to smell bad, really. High temperature metal alloy, ceramics, Nickle plated Aluminum. The only 'plastic' piece I saw anywhere near the action is a tiny PTFE button that makes the insulator in the connector in the Revolution. There's a similar piece in the T1 I'm sure but it should be very effectively 'heat sunk' by the switch contacts. PTFE can take a lot of heat, far more than I think it will ever see in that location. I should think if it somehow did overheat and cause the failure, you'd clearly see it on external inspection?
There have been a few guys that reported funny smells early on, but they all seemed to have decided it was their herb. For sure I (and I think most guys) find the unit remarkably odor free.
So I'd request a RMA for the core and switch (if I didn't want to send the whole unit which I'd be inclined to do if I hadn't already taken a meter to it and learned what the problem was). With medium/high confidence the problem was there. If you can borrow a meter, we should be able to 'talk you through' to the fault. To do so we'll need to measure voltage and resistance.
Be interesting to find out what's going on.
