Hello guys, hope you are all doing well. I recently became interested in this vaporizer (ty all MV users here especially Roger D!) so I purchased it last week. I was on vacation for a few days and when I returned on Wednesday I was surprised to see two packages waiting for me, one of which was the MiniVap! I did order it last week, however, I had just received a shipping notification on Tuesday so I was elated to have it in my hands only one day after I thought it had shipped!
At first I was slightly puzzled by the MiniVap. I enjoyed the flavor and the hits but it seemed like the herb was not done. I was using the silicone whip because I hadn't thought of a way to mate the MV with my glass. So while I enjoyed the experience, I was slightly disappointed and felt not satisfied with the unit. I was, however, very pleased with how free the airflow was and the nice and flavorful hits you can get.
After testing with the MV for a while, I figured out a way to connect the MV to my glass (much thanks to all who showed their connections as I did get the idea from this help). Unfortunately, the connection is not perfect (yet) but I have some new silicone I have ordered that I hope will allow the silicone cone to connect with a perfect seal to my adapter, as now it is a bit loose.
After finding how to connect to glass, I did a lot of testing with the MV. I tried different temperature settings, different ways to connect the basket and cone together with my adapter, different bowl sizes and packs, etc. My findings are similar to what many of you have said already (though I am quite inexperienced as it's only my 3rd day with the MV). I find the unit performs best after being heated for a while (much like the Cloud). After 30-45 minutes I notice my MV will be quite warm and this is when I get the best extraction. I like to put it Green once it has been fully heated. Perhaps a bit different from some MV users here, I find the best results with a very full packed basket. My herb is very fluffy so I can't put too much in. But I did a nice ~.18 load last night and had the best session I have had yet. I got so many hits from this load with my bubbler it was amazing. I am really loving this device!
Today, I woke up and let the MV heat for a bit (15-20 mins). I decided to try the Pink temperature, which I had tried before but not yet with a water piece and with the new adapter setup. I used around my normal load ~.1 give or take and on the first hit I got one of the best tasting vapor hits I have ever had in my life. I don't know what it was but it was so beautiful. The unit was not quite to the point where it was warm so the Pink temperature provided the perfect tasting and low temperature hit... not to mention it was quite potent too! I will continue to play around with the temperatures, but being a high temp user with all vapes I will probably stick with green on a fully heated unit - or take 1 hit on Pink and then move to Green. The flavor on Green really is exceptional as well and even on Red I can get a decent taste (if the MV isn't fully heated).
These are my first thoughts so far after having it for just a few days. I don't want to do any Cloud vs MV comparisons just yet but let me just say the MV is very impressive. I haven't used my Cloud in a couple days because of my intense testing of the MiniVap. I really love it so far because of how modular it is and how much room for expansion there is depending on the imagination of the user. I hope some day there will be more OEM accessories specifically a glass adapter professionally made for the MV with water pieces but for now I am very satisfied.
I will leave you with a quick video of the MV with the Mobius Ion Matrix. I apologize for the dirty glass and cellphone video. It was a very quick take and I put the MV on Red to try to show more vapor, but as you know you can get very large hits with Green or even Pink. This was the first hit but I had 3 more after this (2 medium hits and 1 wispy hit). Well, that's enough rambling for now... I gotta heat my MV back up and get back to some more testing.

Otherwise, seeing your case might be considered urgent, try calling them: 
Hehe, need to take a little break - have been going through so much herb just testing with the MiniVap. Can't say it hasn't been fun though 
..... and soon there is some good surprises from Hermes Medical
