Haha! My guess is that he doesn't get called a liar often, especially in person. * googling keck clips now.....
*Edit- Ah, that's what those are called!

K so I made a follow up video after using it a few days. It's cool. Sometimes it's great & sometimes...not so great. A little inconsistent with the hits sometimes.
What's tough is that the G Pen shines brightest when used with the SMALLEST amount of wax. But once your eyes get too big it can hurt your pocket. A lot of times the dab loses it's contact with the heating element and you're forced to 're-adjust' if you will. That kind of blows (for me) the enjoyment somewhat. Plus can hurt your wallet mucking around with expensive wax going everywhere.
You do get splatter and dripping on the G dome. Not often does it drip but let's be honest sometimes just one time alone is too much. (last hit)
Ok here's the video

Did you order the $50 "glass tank" or the $20 "G-tank" ?
Does anyone have the new glass tank with titanium nail? still waiting for a reveiw of that one.

They said
They said the glass/titanium cart would ship on the 14th...then, they changed it to the 17th and sent me a message appolagizing for the delay and saying I would get a tracking number in 48 business hours. Coming up on 48 hours tonight, I will let you know. What i'm getting at is these tanks were waiting to see are delayed and I believe delayed more than Grenco is admitting to.

I ordered the $50 glass tank. I assuming that is what they will send me, although on my very first order with Grenco some time back I bought a complete gpen and they shipped me just the tank. It was about 3 weeks till they made good and sent me the battery but i had to hound them and ended up buying a complete pen somewhere else in the mean time.
I received an email from them this morning with a survey to take about the quality of my new glass tank. Hopefully when i get the tank i have lots of good stuff to say.

Dollars to doughnuts that was caused by a bit of oil that leaked from the cart into the connector and 'glued' the contact pin on (it's pressed into the charger after the wire is soldered to it, it can easily be pulled out again breaking the wire if you're not careful).
In the future, get used to checking for any leakage and cleaning that first with ISO and you won't kill chargers.

I would just like to thank the FC community for this thread and for the standards of discussion which have allowed it to host the only objective source of information on the internet regarding the G-Pen, or at least the only one I have found thus far.
I was first exposed to this product when "Grenco Science" had a booth at a glass expo that prides itself on 100% American made exhibitors. Erroneously I assumed this meant they vetted all of their vendors regardless of product construction, but I was sorely mistaken. "Ass, U, Me, etc"
My second and more dangerous assumption was that there is safety in numbers or that the adoption rate was indicative of critical acceptance. I have witnessed a large percentage of the attendees at more than one trade show using these devices, or to be accurate more contemporary iterations of them with red instead of blue lights, etc.
Based on everything I have read from critical user reports, I was one of the "lucky" ones and didn't have problems with my battery, cart or the charger other than the latter dis-assembling itself and needing to be re-soldered at some point.
Suffice it to say once I realized the elements of construction and how their off-gassing would be prime culprits for the "Grenco Headache" everyone seems to experience, my mind literally recoiled in horror. What had I been consuming? I had no idea, all I knew was I couldn't throw it out fast enough
I am not only completely offended by this rebranded chinese garbage in pursuit of profit, but the more disturbing factor is the ignorant acceptance and propagation of this product which is completely counter to the spirit of independent accounting and decision making which leads us all to pursue this lifestyle in the first place.
If people cared as little about the construction of their smoking apparatuses as they do the construction of this "pen", counter-culture retail stores would have never existed in the first place because everyone would be perfectly happy smoking off a crushed up pop-can or those shitty record store metal bowls from decades back. This is another reason it offends me to see retail environments pitching this product off by the caseload, but again I suppose it is yet another dangerous assumption to imagine they maintain anything other than profit as motivation.
The announcement of the glass tank absolved me of any lingering thread of support I could have possibly maintained in the back of my mind based on all the "good times" with the toxic pen. The behavior of their employees on this forum and elsewhere online is indicative of how little they have invested in technology and how much they have invested in re-branded marketing and bullshit hype. Avoid at all costs.

First off, I'm sure many of us share your views and concerns, please don't feel like 'the odd man out'?
But also, let's not run the risk of 'throwing the baby out with the bath water'? There are good folks out there that for no fault of their own have followed lame advice and now find themselves owners of this gear. I think we want them all to find a simple, safe and hopefully low cost effective solution....we sure don't want them sliding back into blazing, right? It's them I worry about as much as the folks who might 'get sucked in' next.
The 'garbage' batteries involved can still drive other vapes effectively. And safely. I think we need to build on that as we try to encourage folks to consider Omicron and Revolution/DART. Let's give credit where it's due, this kluge will work well and often enough to benefit some. It's just that it could be so much better?
Thanks very much for your (hard won) opinions. Being experience based makes them all the more powerful and valuable. But only if known. I hope folks find them and take heed before they take the 'wrong' plunge. If not, they are still our brothers and need our support all the more.
FWIW one of my favorite rigs is a very similar 'cheap e-cig battery', a thread adapter and a 2.4 Ohm Omicron cart. I've got several, one here on the desk next to the keyboard......still a bit warm.

Bro, I love the idea of the dart BUT...you have to buy a thermovape in order to get the dart. So in my circumstance, I can't just slap it onto my current battery. I could if I could buy one lol! The omicron carts...I think I just need to buy one and mess with it. Because I hear there is a learning curve on how to use the omicron. If used improperly, it could leak and clog and it just seems like too much work. I like to carry my wax and slap it onto that nail, easy, effective, huge vapor clouds...I will be buying another portable vape soon regardless because I need more options and I must beta test this stuff for my people lol!
I am hoping the titanium nail and glass cart destroys the older modified ecig cart with the wicks. I have fail the technology will just get better and fast. I mean things are moving very quickly in this industry as someone just mentioned.

My preferred battery for the LV DART is the Joyetech eGo-C Twist - a cheap Chinese battery. I own a pair of LVs, both were bought without any Thermovape supplies (my SV was). Unfortunately, for the time being, purchasing a DART is "difficult" (you'd need to by the pieces separately) as TV is about to release a new line of products. So, for about $55US and nothing more, you'd get a LV DART which works (how well is a guess) on your existing battery (and works very well on a $20-30 Twist).

DW123, listen to Nick. He knows of what he speaks as they say. A DART will indeed screw into your battery, and while I don't have the same model as you I too use mine on a 'cheap Chinese battery' of similar style from time to time just as he does. The system you have is not a total loss, that's what I'm trying to say.
Something else you should know about DART, it's made to last. Not only will it 'eat almost any concentrate' but when it gets really fouled and runs slow because of it, you can soak it in ISO or even boil the whole DART in water. Just like real medical gear. Makes it darn near 'good as new'.
TV's supplies are very nice. Simple in design, extremely well built, top top quality and made in USA like the rest of their gear. But you don't need to own one to run the DART (or Omicron with a five dollar adapter).
If you can find the bucks, I think this is an upgrade well worth considering.
Your call, of course. But NDA is giving you the straight poop here. I know it hard to believe he's not just another pretty face, but facts are facts......

It's OK to enjoy your medicine.
I have 2 TV supplies but lately have been using a Smoketech Telescope V2, a purely mechanical solution. I got it on sale for $25. The one I have is the new vented v2 black chrome. Fits 17mm and 18mm batteries, any length. With a 18350 IMR and a Holocron Labs ShortStop in it, it's a tiny but powerful alternate package for driving darts. Or Drop in a 18650 for marathons.
Whatever you decide, keep that DART! It's truly a great tool in a sea of cheap screwdrivers.

Hey bro, I don't need any more convincing on the dart....I just need a place to buy it, lol. When I tried, the website said, sorry, sold out of the dart. If you want the dart, order the thermovape with the window and say in the comments replace with dart. Sooooooo.....I want to just upgrade, $55 is not a lot of cash, but I can't find a place that has only the dart.

Hey, it's not you (alone), I can't make that page work for me half the time, either. But the fall back (order the Revolution in the voltage of your choice then ask them to substitute the DART configuration) works fine. Even when they're out of stock, they usually can make you up one fairly quickly. At one point they were using a body tube marked AVA (their e-cig line) since they had no more 'correctly marked' bodies, but I think that's probably fixed by now. Same price for the other version.
One other option, you can also buy the DART loader top for the Revolution (and therefore get both loading methods). Useful if you sometimes get bubble, kief or solid hash (which is easier to stir through the window):
http://thermovape.com/collections/all/products/theremovape-revolution-dart-loader
Anyway, contact them, I'm sure they'll be happy to take your money.
In the mean time, stash some tasty oil and keep repeating 'load small and often'......
Good luck and enjoy it.

So my G pen conked out. Well not sure if it's the battery or charger. Not getting a charge i don't think. Just using the Atmos Raw battery for now.
You guys are right about all the discussions here. Keep the quality of these things high is very important. I will still use a device if it's made with plastic and what not but I surely would rather have a medical grade unit with glass n metal.
I'm gonna keep pushing forward trying to find the best units on the market. Hell, off market too.
Will the Dart fit on my ego-t battery? Not loving the wick styles. Check my latest video I show my Joyetech ego-t with carts. I just took a trip to the 'Vapor Spot' here n LA to look for Cartridges for my units. Nothing really to see for oils. He's huge on the Joyetech. Lots of the newest popular vapes.
Has anybody heard anything about the WizVape? That looks NICE
Still waiting on the G pen Nail Glass edition. Waiting waiting
Also, Today my buddy notice my GLASS wick style g pen tank cracking a bit around the bottom where it attaches to the metal. Perfect. Quality control on these things can't be great sheesh. I'll Probably do a video on that pretty soon.
Talk soon guys peace

Sure will, no adapter needed. In fact IIRC this is NDA's preferred rig? As I recall he's a big fan of the twist (VV version), it runs it up until the power limit is hit (something over four volts?). I like to run mine on the 18650 powered version for extra long battery life. I think the 'upgrade' versions (can be run with the regulator defeated so you get more power.....) are worth the extra dollar they cost.
Go for it, it's a great combination IMO.

You're welcome.
Yes, it's no doubt there somewhere. Once again, I can't find it..... I'd suggest you order the LV Revolution and ask them to substitute the DART top (same price).
http://thermovape.com/collections/all/products/thermovape-revolution-lv
I think you'll like the rig. It's small, easy enough to use, doesn't leak and can be quite powerful. From new (or boiled clean) I suggest loading .2 grams. Vape until it slows down, then add another .05 to .1, never more. Too much concentrate makes is slow and can 'cook' the oil doing so. I load 1/20 gram (.05) and get six to 10 thick hits before it tapers off and wants more.

i got a email from ThermoVape
Sure that's fine. we will send you a DART in place of the Revolution. Just to let you know, it will be built with an AVA body, so it will say "AVA" on the outside instead of "Revolution."
So i hope it works.
