Discontinued Tvape Vaporizer

More I use mine more it runs hot, too hot, it works like a e-pipe with both short and long tubes and it taste like burn from the first hit to the last one, I don't understand cause it seems to me the 2 first sessions wasn't so hot, but now I can't really enjoy it, it cashs my load too fast, only harsh taste and it's like to smoke!

A bit disappointed but I think my unit is faulty....

Im beginning to think that maybe some resin somehow seeped into the heater and its burning the resin in there every time you turn it on. I dont see what else it could be since it didnt do it the first time but Im thinking it might be resin because of the taste you described. If it were me Id clean it then do a complete dry run and go from there.

Yes that could be a factor, as there was indeed visible residue in the short tube (and maybe why I didn't immediately see the same fumes with the long tube). Still seems odd that the resin produces more clouds than the herb though, but maybe its only a one time thing... Further testing tonight so stay tuned

@PPN it seems like you are having similar troubles as me, though they took longer to manifest. Do we worry this is reaching a temp higher than 420 ?

After pondering on this for a few moments i'm wondering if the tvape starts off at the last temp you raised it too? Maybe there is a way to reset the temp back to the 390 it was ment to start at? Just a thought

It's normal for the device to get too hot to hold, I haven't had it combust yet but it can vape through the herb pretty quickly. In comparison to the original. But it's common for your abv to come out black. Combustion should only occur once you start inhaling, you'll hear nostalgic crackling and die. That's a good sign you've combusted.

Since its conduction your herb can get more vaped than expected as it unlikely to combust when at high temps that super awful combustion flavor isn't combustion. But it could be the mouthpiece.

I've noticed it's not required to constantly hold the button like it's predecessor.

@PPN what's your technique? How quickly does it vape through it?

I've ISOd my short oven, wasn't a pleasure when I did it for my T-Vape 1, wasnt for the 2. Imagine trying to inhale tons of ISO vapor for 16 minutes.

@llamaman001 you can just turn it off and on to reset temp. It's the reason I turned off the T-Vape in its videos.

I'm only 9 bowls in and using the short e-tube with the long battery now.

It does cash a load really quick, 2-3 hits. Giant vapor matching or surpassing anything I've used. Along with that vapor I have a giant buzz.

I don't believe this is a sipping vape but a let it rip big hitter.

Once the load is roasted it will char if I keep going after the first five hits or so but the results are very good.
I am pretty used to the idea that you can only vape a load so long, when it's done I'll dump it.

I haven't used the long e-tube yet... But the short is hot and fast.

That hasn't been my experience my short gets at least 5+, quite sure 10+ since I don't finish the load in one session. I've been using the long battery.

My technique is exactly that it's written in the user guide, I turn it on when the light turn green from red I start to inhale, that's all, I used only one time the higher temps.

Do you enjoy the taste of your flowers?

I did sip ten plus big hit's with the smaller battery now with the larger one it's much hotter, I'll switch back later for my next session to see if it's still mellowed out with the smaller one.

I haven't had time to mess around with different packs or anything, just dumpin' in a lose NO2 scoop, thumpin' the side of the chamber to settle the herbs and stickin' on the nipple.


Edit: @PPN the taste was not good for the first few chambers but it's getting much better. It improved greatly after I took it to really high temps one session(charred Black) and then cleaned.

but I have also found some people just do not like the conduction vape taste.

I agree with some people not liking conduction. Taste is only improving talk to me about taste after a week, it should be better for everyone then. Even with the original, the taste improved from usage.

I enjoy how my flowers taste, I'm still waiting for the nipple to have no flavor.

Alright, I did some cleaning and now can't even get much vapor at all out of my short tube, I will keep at it though to know for sure.

Meanwhile tried out the long tube and got 2 light cloudy hits well before the light turned green, then one and a half on green before I shut it off and took another hit as it cooled. The taste really is borderline unbearable frankly, but I will withhold final judgement until I can break it in more as you said @paytonpenn , you are the T-Vape master.

I think part of the stong cumbusty taste may be how much this thing extracts at once, especially coming from a fully packed longtube. This thing really is like the one hitter vape, in that just one hit can really get you good with its full extraction.

But the thickness of the clouds and terrible taste made me worry it was more than vapor honestly. Once again I will keep at it and see if i can be sure, this is a new vape for me so hopefully I can figure it out and be more confident in it

EDIT: so after doing the whole bowl, i think up to 410 but maybe 20, AVB is mostly like charcoal, I guess its not burnt, but there's probably no point in saving it is there? Seems like crazy extraction is right. Also, I tried it with a combuster who didn't notice the taste as much as me so maybe I am just spoiled by other vapes?

Ran it through my D020-T bubbler as well, mouthpiece plugs right into the 18mm (and should do 14mm as well with the taper) and it was great. Going to try a whole bowl like this as it cuts the harshness and poor flavor and will improve my taste break-in time immensely.

EDIT2: well it looks like my short tube works as well! Got a decently long session with roughly half as much as the longtube, done entirely through the bubbler with a friend save for the first two hits before it turned green. When the hits started to get thin, I held the button to raise temp, and kept holding until it flash green twice (so two 20-30sec raises?) and got more clouds again, very nice to watch and use through the bubbler though it is still a little harsh that my throat is sorer.

So two different times later in the session I held the button to raise temp, so it seemed like I raised it higher and higher since it got more vapor again when I did, but I held it for a total of 4 20-30sec raises. So basically I'm still not exactly sure how the temp raises work, but I'm thinking of it this way for now:
start it up and enjoy as much as you can, then hold the button down to get temp boosts for more vapor, and keep doing those until you get no more.

AVB is a little more brown than black this time too so not as charcoaly so maybe it could have even gone further if I held the button down a fifth time?! I can really see this being an easy combuster-converter, as it essentially can function like a heavy one hitter or a joint (making it useful for the rest of us as well).

Onwards and upwards

IDKW but this morning my T-Vape works normally, no black spots at standard t° with short tube(and better taste!), but it's really a big hitter, it kills my load with 5 or 6 draws, my entire session is something like 4mn.

Maybe when I turned the T° up it don't go back when I stopped it (it explains the very high T° that I got yesterday)

When I filled my tube this morning I carefully didn't pack it too much (cause I think packed zone burn easily) and I let 0.5cm empty in the upper zone of the tube, my abv comes out brown, not black and I can taste a bit my flowers!

I would say it clearly heats up hotter than the original quicker. Since it starts at a hotter temperature I assume there is less heating required to get to the finishing temperature the sessions are much faster which is good for the battery.

Its really nice, I have had a couple experiences where the load was vaped quicker than expected.
Its extraction makes me think of the Versa since it normally comes out black. Unfortunately I really enjoy getting a full extraction now so I normally just vape my loads black.

Today I can't char my buds with the short tube for trying, getting dark chocolate brown and no more.

I think my charred issues was coming from a too much packed tube, when I load it carefully there is no charred bud, I love it more and more!

very nice payton! Convinced me to grab this instead of the vapormax V. How much would you say you loaded there? Looks to be about the size of a solo stem if Im not mistaken. It also looks like you could have left it in there for a few more draws (I like my ABV almost black).

Very impressive overall man, you need to be the official T-vape sponsor!

What type of batts does it take (model #, etc.)? Im curious how much buying a few off ebay would be.

I definitely think you will be happier with this than the FlowerMate, having used both. With T-Vape you get a warranty, replaceable batteries, modularity, and the ability to kick up the temp to really get the most out of your herbs for heavy hits. Now having used it successfully a few times it reminds me even more of Thermovape T1 but in conduction style (though with stronger batteries, weaker taste, no risks of combustion, and a colder outer body)

There were a few more hits left

I'm not sure of exact batteries but from googling the batteries I posted above I am now looking at these.
But I am believing 18350 and 18650 are the sizes you're looking for.

very nice payton! I knew there was still some goodies left in there!

Hows the nipple on this one? Does it fall out just as easily as the 1.0?

I haven't been trying to put it in my pocket but I am sure its the same nipple with a different filter. I would say yes, falls out just as easily, but is slightly more snug of a fitting. It really only comes out because force its not like it just falls out.

When its in my pocket my legs bend around the waist or something like that and the nipple is eventually pushed off. If it was in someones bag or purse the items or tvape itself could be moved around and the nipple could just get knocked off. It would be nice if they had an aluminum or ss nipple that snapped in.

so you would say the t-vape 2.0 is worth the 125?

Yes. I would even say its worth the 180. Far more worth its price than the PAX is worth its.

I think square made a good decision on pricing. Initially the T-Vape 1 started above 200, they then decreased it fairly quickly and gave us a discount. The 2.0 is priced only 20 more than the original and offers fixes to most issues and gives you two battery options and oven options without the extra cost.

Great videos Payton!

I just wish they'd bring the price down and make it so the hotter temp setting didn't require holding the button. It's uncomfortably close to Solo country, price-wise. Besides those two points, I'm practically delighted with my Tvape 1.0, and the 2.0 just improves on it.

One of the coolest assets of the Tvape is the effortless WPA that its mouthpiece makes. 14mm, 19mm, male, female - you can create a seal with all of them, with no additional components.

I don't think they should go lower. With the FC discount its around 153; your extraction will be more full than your Solo and you can take it outside for public usage. The Solo is available under 160 at many retailers unfortunately direct from the manufacturer its 225. I think that is uncomfortable. Eventually the TVape 2 will be found for less from other resellers just like the Solo, but I remember the T-Vape's prices still more reasonable at 50, 110, and 120.

If it means anything its considerably much less button holding with this one.

I would love it if there were an aluminum or wooden mouthpiece option that locked in.

Temp raise wise, have you figured put how to tell what temp your at payt? I usually hit it at 390, then hold the button for 20-45 seconds when I want more vapor then take a couple hits, and keep doing that (or holding it for less) until I can't get anymore (so it seems like each button hold it us getting hitter, but I hold it seemingly more times than 3, but its not getting hotter than 420 pretty sure). So I'm still not quite sure how the temp raising is working exactly, I haven't been inhaling while I hold down the button, just holding it down letting go and then hitting. My own method has certainly been effective, but I'm just curious if we can hone in on it exactly just for the knowledge, and im sure f anyone could do that its you.

Just took a really nice fresh hit before light turned green (so under 390) and a bubbler hit at green. Had to turn it off and lie back for a moment to recover...
