The BHOLT vaporizer

Agree with Gvape.

The Bholt is garbage.

Lets start with initial impressions of my review unit:
This is an ecig, a downstem or some glass piece hacked together with some glue and heat shrink tubing. The product lettering is a vinyl sticker, these jokers cant even afford a silkscreening setup. (probably too difficult) Do you like your vape's glass pieces looking like they were cut with the rusty blade of a third world countries farmer? Then assembled haphazardly by his mentally challenged son? Thats what you're getting with the BHOLT. Not a single atomizer was straight on its mount.

Using the BHOLT: Does it work? Yes, it atomizes oils well, like the dozen pens ive used and the others i own. Does it interface to my water pipe? Sure does. Does it drip down? Nope. Even better, it drips up along the glass, which the suggested fix is to use a heat gun to reclaim good oil? What a dumb solution. Trim the fiberglass better on the $8 pens you're importing and you wont have that problem, Aaron.

The ecig and charger sourced are of the lowest quality. Not one of my atomizers made it past a week before they cracked or stopped working. This thing is completely outclassed by a $20 glass globe pen which is basically the same thing but superior if you ignore the fact you cant hook it up to a wp.

In my opinion, this is a group of young individuals or kids just trying to slap something together to justify upcharging for a very inexpensive e-cig. Their lack of understanding about how to put something together well means that this is not a good candidate for the health conscious people here. THERE IS GLUE IN THIS UNIT. There is heat shrink near something that gets really hot.

$70 for a review unit that is sitting, broken, useless. Cant imaging having gotten screwed out of double that for this thing. Stay away.

While I understand you may have had problems, I completely disagree with your statement that this is garbage and you comparing it to the globe product is silly. These are hand made and so I get some people may have problems while others may not. Also, I think you're being a little unfair just because you're having a problem. I have my first atomizer from BHOLT and while it's really icky and I need to clean it... I've been using it for months.

I have a BHOLT and I have the globe product as well. The globe product initially looked pretty cool to me so I figured I'd try it out. I tried them side-by-side and initially I thought the globe was producing a really nice thick vapor but it wasn't, I think it combusts the material. The difference is in the vapor quality and taste. The BHOLT produces an awesome, thick, tasty vapor. The vapor is smooth and doesn't irritate my throat. The crapola globe vapor looks awesome, until you try it. It tastes bad and it's harsh on my throat and lungs. It's obvious the globe is combusting material and it's junk.

I for one am looking forward to future BHOLT products. It's a young product and I'm excited where it will go. The BHOLT is one of my favorites that I use reguarly.

So try out the BHOLT. You look on Amazon.com and you will find the best products have a few bad reviews, no product is perfect everytime. In my experience, it's a great product. :)

Just recieved my new package and was pleasantly surprised.

Will try to upload pictures when I can, tinypic is giving me a hard time...

I got a new atty, that looks better then the old once. A bit bigger(longer), but looks a lot cleaner(no more rough edges).

I also recieved a shorty tube, and it is really short :-p

And also the piece to put in between the battery and the atty has been changed a bit.

again, as soon as I can I will see to upload some pictures.

On another note, I cleaned my last working atty by dumping it into ISO for 24hours, then dried it with the blowdryer, fired it up. Got some faint fumes that rised up from it, let it burn off for a couple of minutes (each time hitting the button for like 5 seconds) untill I could no longer see any fumes. Looks, feels and tastes like new again...

I would to get the new atty, this the only thing upgraded or they change the look too?
Did you get a full kit or just atty and glass tube?

I want to order to Aaron a pack of news attys but I want to be sure that they perform really better than olders because I have already 5 working attys, only one is dead (the first that I received with my review unit) but a bigger atty for bigger dabs could be nice:D!

hmm,

well apart from it being a bit taller it seems the same, let me see if tinypic will cooperate again...the one with the bholt sticker is the older one.

Here you see the new atty on the left, older version on the right:

Here is a pic of the new piece that goes in between the battery and atty, new one is on the right:

What up everyone! This is my first post on this site! And I am a newbie to the vape pens all around. Just talked to Aaron Bholt the manufacturer of the bholt vapes and he is sending me the bholt 2.0 kit and I am going to post a video and review it on here for everyone to know what my opinion is coming from an unbiased source. I have gotten a little impatient and I bought the seego vhit at a local head shop that recommended it. I will at least have a comparison for the bholt vape and I'll keep which ever one I like more! Peace and bless up

I still have yet to hear back from Aaron. Still have a broken device for months now. How long will it take you to get me a working unit or refund? Was really hoping that this vape wasn't a waist of money.

Hey gvape, I reread your posts once more and started wonderin. How much did you load into your bholt? Also was your concentrate winterized? I ask becaus I have found both of these to be important.

Loading a little at a time, and 'burning' off anything left before loading more seems te be the trick...at first I would have dirty glass near the atomizer within one day of use. Then I tried to get the atty clean in between loading. I would hit it till most vapor was clearly vaped and would then keep in pressing and releasing the button till nothing came of anymore and it was basically clean again...only then will I load anew...

And winterezed extracts def help too with keeping the device clean.

Just my two cents...

Hope you will still be able to make it over to the camp of 'happy customers'...

I sure wish this lil device was further developed to incorporate an actual nail & cup rather than just another cup with a wick & coil winding !

I'm really happy with my Bholt, it taste better than my Dabbler and DrDabber but it produces less clouds(not a really big difference) with more hits(I'm thinking that it runs a little bit colder than others and this preserve the taste) and it can handle lot of sort of oils, I clean my attys with iso bath and this is works nice for me, I got 6 attys at all and 5 are still working hard (1 is dead).

I'm putting a little drop into the cup and Bholt go on!

Well friends the new page is up but having some technical difficulty with it.. it is not what i was planning on launching. a few of the new products are up.. but not all of them are up yet. and none of the videos are up that i have been promising, i am so sorry but i am working on this issue.

Here is a new demo video check it out
more videos coming very soon!

P.S we have a new prototype for a rebuild-able glass on glass atomizer !!!
replacement coils will be very reasonably priced and the overall quality has got even better!

Hey Tepictoton, I would load a small dab in one at a time, never overloading it, I loved the clean taste of it that way. My concentrates are not winterized, although I have had some, I do not normally. Im sure it would help, but that is a lot more costly and time consuming and I dont think that it would be that significant of a difference. If it was easily accessible, maybe be a different story. I just dont see that most the people who have a BHOLT are using wintereized.

I wouldnt load another dab until my vapor started to thin off, usually 2-3 hits off each dab I loaded. If I hit any more then that the taste would be foul and almost produce no vapor. It would leak down the joint because the wick was pressed against it.

Again though I have not used this vape in months and BHOLTS horrible customer service just ignores my emails still. Im not no longer getting any responses from them, its a bit of a joke that they dont care to fix my problem. I wish I could say that the company was good and I would support it, but they sure dont care about a customer, just making money.

---------------

As far as that video, I find it pretty funny how it says No Mess, No WAST (yes WAST, not Waste) yet Im pretty sure I got LOTS OF WASTE. The thing had a ton of oil build up all over the joint and then you have to use a heat gun to melt it out which was now all in contact with wires and glue. I turned the video off after that....

GVAPE.
i have offered before and i will do so again Personally i think that seeing how i did help you out with "broken" and/or "not working" atomizers with 2 replacements that a refund is out of the question. i didn't question you on this. or ask you to return them before i sent new ones... i just sent them.. within 1 week of your FIRST complaint! on top of giving you a deep discount on a demo unit, and the fact that it did actually work great (your words) i really dont think its fair for me that you saying the things that you do.
i have tried to explain to you that the BHOLT is a very low temp atomizer and if you overload it and do not keep it clean like any real vaporizer it will eventually die or quit producing thick vapor like the one in the video... i get 3 months min out of my personal atomizers and about 1 in 20 or so is a DOA or just little weak... but if a customer that has a problem with one or a DOA i usually send them 2 to replace it, Just like i did for you shortly after you said you had a "broken" unit. I gave you my personal cell number and my home office number and told you to call at your convenience so to work this out. i never received a call or a message with a call back number from you.

i am willing to send you another BHOLT atomizer tube and battery cause i know my product is solid. and i know that it works very well.
in the last 11 months i have come a long way with the design and overall quality. thanks to the many folks who helped me by reviewing the BHOLT and helping me find its weaknesses. But if a new BHOLT is not what you want well when i release the rebuildable atomizer soon i will send you 1 with a few replacement coils to put to the test. so its up to you

FC members,
i try my very best to provide my customers who i also consider my friends with the best product i can and the best service possible, sometimes it takes a few to get back to you, as i am trying to run a production line and all the office work mostly by myself... but i dont just ignore anybody.

I saw your website and there is some nice improvements: the shotgun and the solar charger!
And I would like to try the new atty but I needn't a new one (I have 5 of the earlier bholt)...

GVAPE, I think that Aaron make like others manufacturers, if you use the vape, if it works, you can't get a refund (I have many issues with my FV, I don't like it really much but they don't want to speak about a refund, just replacements and customer service, and I understand this...)
Now perhaps it's time to stop to complain....

PPN I will GLADLY Send you one of the New rebuild-a-BHOLT addys to help me test out... i have been using the prototype for 3 weeks now and still have not replaced the coil.. this is going to be a REALLY GOOD product i cant wait !! the replacement coils will be super affordable and even the glass is replaceable if it gets broken. I really think this is the BEST atomizer for both the customer and for me as well.. production will cost me a bit more but the time is about half AND!!

GVAPE there is NO GLUE WHATSOEVER AT ALL.. NOPE not a drop in these new ones... and none in the latest 2.0 model ( none inside the vapor or air flow chamber ) or 1.0 model the only adhesive is external to the atomizer and also none of my atomizers are assembled with any soldering or toxic anything. The short atomizers were the only ones i used very expensive aquarium glass adhesive, completely inert after it is cured.. much like the epoxy the dentist uses inside your mouth for cavities, but i no longer produce them due to the difficulty of keeping them 100% straight every time.

Hate quoting myself.... but a week later and not even a reply nor acknowledgement ? come on now..... help an early product adapter out eh ?

Have you at least looked into using a Ti winding &/or perhaps lowering the wick/coil deeper down into the glass ? (sorry if I missed mention but I didnt see anything in regards to this in the 2.0 version development.

Cut the guy some slack! lol. He's making continual enhancements to his new and popular product while attempting to establish a better web presence and make videos...I'm sure he's up to his eyeballs. Your comment wasn't phrased as a question, so it would be easy to miss as far as something requiring a response. ;)

No offense intended at all...just feeling bad for @bholt. This forum must be an intimidating place for a small manufacturer (and not always easy to keep up with!)

What up vapers I just got my bholt in the mail about a few days ago and I'm really diggin it in comparison to my VHit, and the way it goes into the bong works pretty good too. Overall I would give the bholt an 8 out of 10 and I haven't had a 10/10 yet IMO. But I really like the vapor quality and it looks really cool when you hit it, also the glass on glass works like a shotgun to the lungs or like when you clear the bong and pull the bowl out same thing. I have a couple videos of some bong rips but I am too much of a stoner to try to figure out how to post them ATM lol. I now have three types of vape pens that I've compared to the Bholt and so far the bholt has the smoothest tastier hit vs the others which are the seego Vhit and a knockoff version of the power pen mini. The only reason the bholt isn't the only one I have is because of the stealth factor, besides that it's really fucking cool for the most part. I couldn't necessarily see this replacing the torch and Ti nail tho, only if there had to be a compromise for dabbing this would suffice.

Bholt,

This is all I have been asking for a working device. I know you have offered me a working device and I accepted that and waited and waited and waited for it. Im still waiting, and thats why I took this to the forums since you didnt answer my emails about when you were sending it or what was going on. I ONLY asked for a refund due to never getting a replacement unit, and again this was you offering me this after I asked why mine broke. I never asked for a new unit, this was you offering me it, I just wanted it to work.

You never told me any of these things until I took my problems to the forums, I did call and leave a message, not sure how many times I have to do this to get a call back. The unit DID in fact work great at first and I will still stand behind that word, I just wanted to know why mine broke so quickly and how to fix it. Still the only answer I guess is that I loaded too much in to it, which doesnt make sense since I was loading small dabs.

Anyways, Im not here to argue with you if you are willing to send me the working unit then I would be happy to use it and give another review of it. I think that the replacement coil seems to be the best bet for me. If I had two break so quickly I would hope that me being able to rebuild it would fix everything. Just let me know what you want me to do and I will patiently wait for the rebuildable. I have no problem sending my unit that isnt working back so you can try and figure out what is happening.


I saw your website and there is some nice improvements: the shotgun and the solar charger!
And I would like to try the new atty but I needn't a new one (I have 5 of the earlier bholt)...

GVAPE, I think that Aaron make like others manufacturers, if you use the vape, if it works, you can't get a refund (I have many issues with my FV, I don't like it really much but they don't want to speak about a refund, just replacements and customer service, and I understand this...)
Now perhaps it's time to stop to complain....


Again, I only wanted a refund due to trying to contact him months for a replacement or to tell me how to get mine to work or even why mine broke so quickly after using it. NOT ONE BIT OF HELP WITH THIS. I know most wouldnt give me a refund on a product due to me simply not liking it, but the matter of the fact is I did like it when it worked, BUT IT BROKE SO QUICKLY and Aaron told me he would send me a replacement. So I waited and waited and waited, patience grew thin and I asked for a refund since it seemed I wasnt ever gonna get a working unit. The thing is there was a lack of customer service and thats why I have been so frustrated.

So yes, I figured since he wouldnt answer my emails I would come to the forum to share with everyone my problems. I still would be happy to get a working unit... I paid $70 for a paper weight thats been sitting in the corner. I was told I would get a replacement months ago and I would happily ship my broken/not working correct device back.

I see many others with working units and happy, I just want to be one of those customers. I dont care how much money I paid for a product, it didnt work as advertised and quickly broke, I got no explanation to why it broke or how to fix it so I feel Im in a fair place to ask for what I did.

PPN I will GLADLY Send you one of the New rebuild-a-BHOLT addys to help me test out... i have been using the prototype for 3 weeks now and still have not replaced the coil.. this is going to be a REALLY GOOD product i cant wait !! the replacement coils will be super affordable and even the glass is replaceable if it gets broken.

Im glad that you no longer use glue, that was a big turn off for me. It seems you have went a long way from the first model you sent me. Im very interested to see the changes.

Hi GVape , I think there is lot of misunderstanding between you and Aaron, try to be quiet both and you could find a solution before to share a big dab!
I'm agree that the Bholt is not the higher building quality vape pen but for the price it makes a good job and it taste so nice!
