Discontinued Pinnacle Pro

@TheKeeper IMHO @Sativape had the best idea to keep the standard Pong and now PGonG adapters in place by using the thumb of a rubber glove. It was the base inspiration for the BB nipple GonGs I posted. I suspect if we ask him nice enough he would show us pictures or take the time to reference his old posts. I'm too frick'n lazy...

Unfortunately folks, I will not have the time to try to make the PNP better by hacking a replaceable battery. @MileHighLife showed us how and what he did to replace them. I suspect his mod is still flying...

All - The reason for my sudden disappearance from FC is my wife was recently diagnosed with CBD. So my appearances will be a bit far and few between... (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corticobasal_degeneration)

My heart goes out to you BarnBoy so sorry to hear the news about your wife. I will be sending positive vibes your way and wishing you strength for you, your wife and family.

I need one of these
Talk to BarnBoy n see what he says. The charger works great I rather buy it from him than any other store because those aftermarket chargers might overheat your battery and break it time after time and then ur battery life is gonna be shitty now with this charger made by BarnBoy works perfect like the reg ac charger the PNP came with no overheating at all what's so ever that I know of I charged the PNP from dead to full this morning in my car with no heat what's so ever hope that helps

A couple of days ago I turned my fully charged PNP on, only to see it heat for about 30 seconds, then display cascading blue lights before shutting off. It did this several times. Finally, feeling I had nothing to lose, I gave the unit a firm "shake". It started working properly after that. My only guess is that it was a battery issue that corrected itself after being shaken a bit...?

I checked the manual and it does not mention cascading blue lights. I searched this thread and only found mention of cascading red lights (heater error).

Has anyone experienced this before, or at least know what it means?

thanks

Here's a method I use to safely keep my water tool ice cold for hours, without risk of freezing the tube.
( Well at least it's never happend to me. )

Fold a paper towel into quarters so you have one smaller square that is 4 layers thick. Place the folded towell where you would like your "Mini Fridge" to exist for the next few hours.

Set your water tool on it upright and filled.

Turn a ordinary freeze drinking cup ( I got mine at the dollar store. ) that you have frozen, over and upside down on top of your tube, so that you have formed a "Mini fridge" for your tube. The paper towell is for two things. It will seal between the surface and the glass keeping the inside insulated, and it will also collect dripping condensation that will form around the bottom of the cup.

To further the efficiency, and what makes it last all night as I watch tv, take a drink pitcher, and turn it upside down onto the enitre rest of the set up. Your mini fridge is now well insulated and will stay icy cold all night.

I keep this setup on the coffe table next to me for hours. As long as you pull the tube out and use it here and there, there should be no danger of freezing, but it will be nearly ice cold when you want it.

Good luck and I hope others find this as nice as I do.

Hmm. Just received my Gpong from Vapefiend.
Haven't tried it yet but do think they could have fire polished the cut end (and cut it straight for that matter)....
:doh:

@sacredtruths I guess I should have mentioned that I also have another paper towell near by that I use to dry any dampness when I remove the tube from the freeze cup. I just use my finger with the towell wrapped around it to dry the 14mm hole. Pretty easy stuff really.

Condensation is not a problem in anyway if you just use a small amount of common sense and caution.

@WildChild dont know bout you but I don't have a fridge next to my chair in the TV room. For us couch vedgeies that want to chill for a few hours, this works nice.

This is also something you could do outdoors if you were so inclined. Deck, patio, garage, whatever.

Ha! I didn't think about that. :)

Sounds like a pretty creative set-up. Nice work.

I received my Pinnacle Pro DLX about a month ago. It seemed off from the start, but eehh. I thought it was just the learning curve. It DID function though. However at first it didn't seem to be heating properly. Now it seems to be overheating. The button doesn't work at all. Clicking it turns it on, and holding it down cycles through the heat settings indefinitely. There is no way to turn it off, other than to let it shutdown on it's own. It also over heats to the extent of actually burning me and my friend on the third heat setting. Toward the end of our first bullet I took a hit and it felt as if I had been shot in the mouth. It hurt so outrageously bad. I gave it to my friend and convinced him to confirm. When he hit it (water attachment off, still third setting) I heard an audible popping noise as he dropped it and yelped. I contacted customer support 2 days ago, still no reply. I am kind of concerned. Should I expect them to respond to my email and honor the warranty, or am I scammed out of all my money? I bought it from http://thevaporblunt.com/ Anyone.. advice? Help? I would very much like to have a functioning unit..

Send them another e-mail and politely re-explain your dilemma. I'm confident they will respond to you.

Hope that helps.

Going back to Page 212 @Lizard King and @GeekVape both posted step by step instructions on taking the "cover or body" off the PnP. Then @Haunts posted a little photoshop pic of a painted PnP. If you really want to paint or customize the PnP it doesn't look to be that difficult. If you do decide to paint your PnP be sure to post pics!

Hey everyone, i have an EV2 as my daily driver, ive just sent my solo back for a refund as the charger went faulty and its the second one so as much as the solo is awesome, for me its not proven reliable for me to take away for the night if working away etc. The pinnacle pro looks cool, how are they lasting ? I dont mind batteries only lasting 3 sessions on heat level 3 if thats about right, and now they have the new glass pong mouthpiece im more convinced, its between that or the acsent but im seeing reviews for the ascent saying you need to get used to the technique etc, cant be assed with that i wanna be able to pass it to a mate or the mrs and they toke and get a good cloud like my ev and old solo, many thanks guys and gals and happy vaping :-)

Get the PNP .. It's more portable. It's more efficient. You can use it with friends with greater satisfaction because they won't be asking how to do it. It produces great vapor and the new gpong adds to the taste. I use this as my daily and have for months now with zero problems.

Time for some reclaim. This is after approx. 20 bullets:

Im not sure what the "popping" noise was but thats how my PNP hit as well. I could never hit it dry, even on settings 1 and 2 it felt like someone was turning a hair dryer on the max temp and shoving it in my mouth. Every hit I took burned like fire and not even taking a swig of a cold drink would help with the burn. I felt like I was literally damaging my throat and this was confirmed by 5 other smokers/vapers as well. Blunts, joints, and dry pipes are about 100 times less harsh than my pnp was and I HATE combusting.
