Discontinued Vaporfection viVape

I like the silver surfer tubing better because it attracts less dirt and particles to the outside of the tubing and they work with the vivape wand
Those are the measurements I gave(SSV tubing)... and in the video above where I used the DBV wand, I used SSV hose- I agree it is superior!

Whoops sorry i didnt watch the video yet so i did not see. Surprised you didnt like it more though, i was a little off-put about the constant fan, but after a couple weeks i got used to it and havent looked back since.

Also, i sold my gg ssv so i dont have the wand anymore but i will say changing screens and cleaning was much easier. Would you say the difference in performance is worth the price of buying a new wand?

In my opinion it was worth the extra expense.
I did love the ViVape.
I realize I can pull the wand to stop the vaporization process.
I have a friend here who wants to sell his ViVape for 200... and I am sorely tempted to buy it.
Goodness knows I have enough vaporizers around the house!
I may post a couple vapes from my collection for sale, then give the ViVape some consideration!

Awesome, Vito. I love mine. Had it since Feb. I'll stick my neck out and say you won't be disappointed if you purchase the vV.

Cheers!!

I agree with vapinghole. Having amazing taste all the way through a session really takes your mind off of the fan running the entire time. And for 200, if its working, is a steal.

So, I've turned another buddy on to the viVape. He's chuffed, for sure! It's really a special vape and delivers very pure taste. Compared to other forced-air vaporizers, the viVape wins hands down, in my view. And I've recently obtained a viVape 2. There are some small noticeable outside enhancements when compared to the first vV, but they're minor and my guess is the real enhancements are internal. It could be my mind playing tricks, but it seems to me the viVape 2 is quieter. I'll need to do a side-by-side sometime soon with my buddy (maybe this weekend).

I love using the different vaporizers I own as they deliver different results, but the viVape stands out to me...not only because it was my first "high end" vaporizer, but because it's so damn consistent and the vapor is so pure.

Bravo, Vaporfection! The vV is going strong!

Hey guys I just got a new viVape and its pretty amazing. At first i was kinda iffy on it but everytime i use it i like it more and more. It makes everything taste so much clearer, and the bowls last for a long time. I really enjoy it

Awesome, Legamre! I love my viVape as well. Very tasty vapor indeed. We'd all love to hear more about your experiences, so don't be bashful!

Cheers!

I'm 340 almost exclusively. If I'm feeling cheeky, I'll finish the wand load at 360-ish, maybe even 375! :)

:tup: Lovin' my viVape!!

Edit: I'm a low-temp hempist--that's just the way I roll.

I'm with you Vapinghole. I'm also discovering the pleasures of low temp vaping sessions! Much tastier and satisfying. I only go to higher temp to finish a bowl and most of the time there's not much left. Taste is now my priority...

I tried the viVape with a friend (legamre actually, I brought him to FC) and thoroughly enjoyed the use. The vaporizer itself is a great device that produces good tasting hits that last a while. The only thing I did not like about the viVape is the accessories that it came with. The stir rod was plastic, the valve mechanism for the balloon relied on zipties, glass wand and mouthpiece were thin, tube just seemed low quality... Other than the glass, I felt that I could go to a local supply store and find the same parts. We both agreed that the parts should be replaced. He ordered a Da Buddha wand and tube, and with this upgrade, it made the vaping experience much better.

TL;DR:
Vivape is a great vape, but you should replace the accessories with 7th floor ones.
:peace::2c:

You are right about the stiring stick. It's just a piece of junk. It even got "cooked" and got brownish and melted while stiring! I only use it to place/remove the screen. And don't order the ones Vaporfecton shows on their website! They look different on the picture but it's the same piece of junk.

I now use an Arizer EQ glass stiring tool wich is PERFECT and even enhance the stiring stage of a vaping session! I think Vaporfection should revise this accessory. And the tube? I don't have experience with any other whip tubes. The one provided by Vaporfection get dirty quick and needs frequent cleaning. I just ordered tubing from Planet Vape but i have not tried it yet.

So if I pick up my Vivape and move/shake it around a little bit (not forcefully just kinda wobble it around with one hand), it sounds like there is a spring or something that is shaking around inside the unit...has anyone else experienced this...this is already my second replacement unit I have recieved

Yeah it still works, just annoying everytime i pick up my unit i have a rattling sound

Just sent a message through support on their website so well see what happens...

UPDATE: Just wanna say once again how awesome Vaporfections customer service is. Filled out vaporfections support message thing on their website, a couple hours later recieved a call from Dan, which I missed but he left a voicemail explaining that the rattle is coming from the glass that holds the heating element in place. Theres dimples on the inside of the glass and the noise is coming from the heating element hitting the dimples when i move it around.

Thanks again Dan for getting back to me so quickly hopefully there will be no more issues with my unit because even woth the 24hr replacement id hate to be without the vivape for even a day!

It is with A LOT of sadness that i have to declare my viVape dead...

It just stop heating up all of a sudden. I had it for a little more than 9 weeks. I used it everyday from 10min to 40min total and took great care of my beloved viVape. I just hope she would last longer!

As i understand it,the first version had a problematic heating element and that's why they released the viVape 2 just a couple of months after the release of the original. Correct? I bought mine 1 week before Vaporfection annonced the release of the viVape 2. I wish i knew at the time i bought mine... I would have wait!

I sent an email to support at Vaporfection and i have no doubt about the quality of their customer service as i can read in this thread. I'm sure they will take care of my situation. I love my viVape and the thought of not having it for weeks/months makes me crazy!!! My beloved viVape! I really wish i got the viVape 2 instead.

Now that the issue is public... on a forum that is comprised of the world's Vape Professionals and community.. I think they will get things done.
This is the beauty of our community!

Thanks for the encouragement Vitolo! I hope to hear from them soon...

Sorry ugobo. That sure stinks, as I know how much you love your viVape. If I was close to you, I'd have you over or lend you mine. :tup:

Vitolo is right, and I can speak from personal experience that Vaporfection will make it right. Dan is genuine, and they're a small company just like other vaporizer companies this forum supports. I'm confident I can speak for Dan when I say Vaporfection values the FC community and all its customers. I'm not a fan-boy (a blind one, at least), I've just been consistently impressed with my viVape and Vaporfection. They'll continue getting my business.

Edit: And Vitolo, given how inspirational you've been for me as a new vaporist, I'm proud to see the viVape in your signature lineup.
