I'm sure most of you guys know this already, but I just received my first ever glass bubbler, a BlazeGlass unit, from a guy on the forums. It has an 18 outlet, but I managed to get a 14 from Planet Vape. So I went to find an 18 to 14 male to female reducer. With the reducer in, and a short piece of silicone whip on the 05, I just havta wedge the 05 into the 14 adapter and it seals perfectly. Nice and quick, and man is it smooth! It's also helping me to slow down my draw speed - I think I've been fighting with that quite a bit. On the plus side every technique is quick and easy to try with this form factor...

I received my replacement cap today.
If anyone with a loose cap is on the edge about whether it will help, I will attest to
it's tighter fit.
I was skeptical as I pulled it out of it's bag, because it looked the same, but it snapped firmly in place, and INH05 has been in my pocket since.
Thanks @Inhalater

My charging light quit working, so it's back in the shop for a light check and S upgrade. I am *really* enjoying this unit so far! It's in my pocket every time I walk out the door - my wife calls it my 'security blanket' (while rolling her eyes 
. It's amazing how reliant I've become in such a short time. But when it's away I miss it!
So I'm considering another semi-stealth unit to replace the Vapir NO2. It works OK, but the start button is weirdly located (everything is weirdly located on an NO2), so it needs to be watched to ensure it's not accidentally shut off in pockets. Camping with it is great, walking isn't.

Heatup time aside can anyone that's owned an 05 and 05s tell me if they notice any significant differences in performance between the units?
I jumped on the black Friday deal for the 05s but I'm wondering if I should've gotten the standard 05 and saved my money.

@z9 - I'm getting the S upgrade on my 05. I can let you know a bit about heatup differences in a few days, but there is a side by side vid that Inhalater posted a couple of pages ago...
Not that the 05 took a long time between hits, but in the cold weather we have here I'm thinking the S might mean less time to recover temp between draws. If that doesn't work it will sit in a chest pocket on my winter jacket with a whip sticking out, ninja-style
On an unrelated note I'm enjoying the Auto setting. I tend to run one load through that, then bump upwards. I'm starting to wish it had a bigger spread. Something like going upwards from 4 to 6, say? Anyone else have any thoughts?

It's taken me some time to upload my review of the Inhalater 05, i've had the unit a month now, but what an enjoyable month
I bought it after hours of research and trawling of the internet, enough, i think, to bore the missus into encouraging me to " Just buy one will you". She knows that i will research any possible new purchase till either i buy, or more often than not, don't.
My main reason for wanting to start vaping was to kick my 25+ year tobacco habit while i was not being told i had to, and so i could continue to enjoy trees as my stress medication.
It's now been 3 weeks of no tobacco, the first week i had teething problems so had a few bifs, but they only reminded me how nice the INH05 tasted in comparison. Inhalater were bang on with their communication and sorting of my problem and really did leave me happy that i'd eventually chosen their vaporizer.
2 Months is my previous best at tobacco jacking so it's early days yet but i am really impressed with how this unit is delivering in satisfying a smoker, my MFLB came nowhere near.
Stealth wise every 'normal' that's seen it just thinks it's an elaborate e-cig, it's well replaced my dog walking 'fags', firstly 4 or 5 'aromatic' lugs on setting 5 then i turn it off, walk a mile feeling nicely chilled, then last bit of walk on setting 6 rising to 7 for that 'throaty' hit. By the time i'm home i'm battered as, on far less than with baccy and feeling healthier than my fag days, all good. The only thing i could moan about is how high i get, honestly i've looked into hops etc just so i can still get on in life
All this without even having the glass capsule! What is that going to be like, c'mon Inhalater, don't leave us hanging too long.
As a UK customer i was concerned about obtaining spares without having to order from Canada, they have assured me they are in the process of sorting retailers over here.
Hope this helps another future me make the right decision when wanting a stealthy, fast to deliver vaporizer

Getting the new INH05S, and upgrade from my INH04 and XP I've also had, but I'm really looking forward to the glass capsules. I really think that's going to be a real game changer for inhalater as far as taste, cooler vape, and maybe even vapor production, but I've never had any complaints in that department with any of the inhalaters!

I have enjoyed using my unit more, now that the cap fits.
Sadly, I tried to stick the cap on the dial one time in the supermarket.
When I pulled to get it off the dial to replace it on the top, the dial popped off still attached to the cap.
I took me 3 hours to replace it.!
I kept getting a small piece of gold colored metal stuck in the dial, and showing from the outside of unit (and it is sharp as well).
I finally got the dial back on with the gold piece not sticking out.
The unit works now, except it has a dead spot somewhere around 6.5. When the dial hits that spot the unit powers off without a click... and I must jiggle the dial some toward 7 to get the unit come back on.
The dial now is able to be coaxed off with a very light pull, so the unit must now be babied during use.... relegating my INH05 once again back to it's station in a drawer, as I return to using the XP for my daily travel needs.

OUCH!!! the gold piece of metal is the folded ribbon cable that attaches/joins the 2 circuit boards together..... it is folded to make it much easier to remove the USB port that protrudes from the bottom circuit board...... the whole assembly has to be rocked or angled slightly when removing to gain access to replace the battery.... the ribbon cable {gold metal thing} is folded right there at the base as to allow the assembly to be lifted out on an angle.....{less critical w/INH05 but still a good practice}
* When putting the cap/cover/lid back on we must insure that the fold is tucked inside the caps edge... as to remain on the inside when we click or pop it back on.....
I started with an OUCH!!! because you were pinching that ribbon cable each time you tried to click the cap back on..... not so great but it will likely survive as proof buy it still working afterwards.... but your cap being loose now is just likely because it has been expanded a tiny bit having that folded ribbon lodged in between it a few times....as it's warmed and cooled during use it may return back to it's original shape and size..... as for your dead spot....that may be from the switch wiper arm being disturbed during the 3 hour struggle you mentioned......again likely to work itself out but for sure I would simply wipe the arm several times {turn dial back and forth over that area say 3 to 8} and I do mean several btw....
Oh and again we need to be sure that the folded ribbon cable is tucked in before we try to snap that cap/lid/cover back on.....

@Vitolo : Replacing the knob is quite simple with prior tutorial http://www.inhalater.com/operation/#HT2
If you send us your unit we will fix it for you and baby it with the newer knob and cap to avoid this in the future.

I've been using my Vapir NO2 as a portable again. The charging light quit working on my INH05. I was considering getting the S upgrade, as well as the new WT adapter, but now I think I'll use the cash on another portable for a spare. I'm getting used to the mobility that the INH05 allows, but it's only really good when it works. As it stands now it's spent more time in the shop than it's spent at my house being used.
On the plus side Inhalater has been pretty good about the repair work. Which is to be expected. I was kinda hoping for a price break on the 05 upgrade, since it had to be sent back for another repair anyways, but it's still pretty much full price, so why upgrade something that keeps failing? With confidence getting lower I'm going to spend the money that was going on an upgrade to instead pick up a backup stealth unit from another vendor. Which is really a shame, as I really like this unit when it works!
Update - I've just sent a note to Inhalater asking for them to keep the unit and process a refund for me instead. Given that I've successfully used this device for 4 days, out of 3 weeks of ownership, I'm not liking my odds of this particular unit lasting any length of time. And if I need another portable as a stand-by unit that means a bunch of accessories that may or may not work with the portable. So I guess this means I'm back to the search. Hopefully everyone with a unit enjoys it as much as I enjoyed mine, just with less issues than I had...

Yep, this is very similar to what happened to me a few weeks ago. Dropped the 05 a couple inches off the floor, bottom cap flew off, battery hanging out by that ribbon. I was able to figure out in a few minutes how it went together, and quickly realized that ribbon has be to tucked just so or else the cap won't snap back on.
I got lucky...I was able to reassemble everything and it works fine. I'm sure I won't be so lucky next time!
I recently had my Inhalater 5 updated to the 5 S. First, I have the following portable vaporizers: Inhalater (second generation) Inhalater 4 (4th generation), Solo, Davinci, Ascent, Pinnacle Pro, Iolite, magic flight launch box and iTorch.
With the upgrade, I purchased the new water tool adapter, the new aero capsules and a glass capsule.
Prior to the upgrade I was very happy with the Inhalater 5. I sent my unit in to have the charging updated, as the charging was taking too long. I was not going without a vaporizer as I have a few. That was done at no cost (excluding shipping back to the manufacturer). I decided after talking to the manufacturer to pay the additional $100 for the S update. I will not address my feelings on the cost of the $100 and the difference of of $50 when buying new as I did have a conversation with the manufacturer and understand his dilemma. As I said to him I understand but that does not mean I am happy about it. Saying that, I have the latest in the Inhalater 5 technology and a 2 year warranty.
Before the Inhalater 5 my go to device for vaporizing was usually the Solo for home and either the Ascent or Inhalater if I needed to be portable. After using the Inhalater 5 and now the 5 S this is my preferred choice for both home and portable. I find it to be very stealth and in my opinion the best portable vaporizer on the market today for portability (and yes the USB charging does factor in as well). The improvements in the Inhalater 5 and 5 S to the chamber, the heating times and the battery replacement over previous versions are excellent. My number one reason though is the USB charging which with the upgrade and the 5S model seem to be very stable. The 5S charges from completely empty to full in about 6 hours. I know this as I drained the battery until the unit would not turn on and than charged it. The charging light completed its cycle just after 6 hours.
I really like the new Inhalater. The water adapter tool is most definitely worth the money and I think should be included because it makes the unit that much better. I also really like the new aero capsules that allow you to choose how much airflow you want with the vapor and the adjustment has a lot of variance so you can choose no airflow, a little or a lot depending on how you feel and change it during the session. I was told by the rep at Inhalater that I was the first with these new Aero capsules. I would like to tell you about the glass capsule but I am using the Aero capsules exclusively with and without the water adapter and they are awesome. So is the water tool.
The heat up time on the 5S is now 18 (no capsule) to 25 seconds (capsule and product). I am into a session in 25 seconds. I have a great deal of control over how much vapor I produce. The higher the number the better the cloud but at the lower numbers the taste is so nice, it has caught me off-guard. I have let a couple of others try and they comment on the taste right away.
As vaporizer’s go, this is on the top end for price with other units of similar quality but well worth it IMO as it is the most discreet portable vaporizer on the market today again IMO and I can not rate it towards the Pax or Firelfy as I don’t own either of them. I am going to sell my Pinnacle Pro as I really have no use for it anymore. I gave my iTorch and MFLB to a compassion club. I will still use the Solo but most likely allot less now that I have the Inhalater 5S. I like my Ascent but I see using it on the occasion that the Inhalater is charging. Yes I would purchase another Inhalater if I had too and would recommend either the Inhalater 5 (base or S) as I feel that the portability of USB charging and its discreetness is the best on the market.
My sessions start at 4 or 4 ½ and go up to 6 ½.. The latter gives me excellent vapor and the former excellent taste. I can pre-fill the capsules before I leave and have enough for any excursion and with the Aero capsules I can control the airflow. The main difference between 5 and 5s is the start up time of 18-25 seconds. I understand the charge time is still 6 hours. The start up time is about 1/2 of the regular 5.

Very Nice review....thank you for taking the time....very nice.... I too am waiting for my INH05S to arrive and your write up has me wishing it was already here......
I too agree with your opinion about how well this design works for both it's size and stealthiness and hay your going to so enjoy its minimal maintenance and cleaning as well..... I also exclusively use this as well. It has somehow managed to halt my 40 years of smoking.... something others have failed to accomplish...
So a shorter heat up time is of course very nice to hear about....not to mention the improved control but what I'm a tiny bit concerned about...... how many runs or sessions did you get before the battery was completely exhausted..? I typically get 6 sometimes get into my 7th run but I run mine a bit warmer than you 5 to 8 and I will dial up to 9 if needed to extract that extra tiny bit of my 3rd run on a loaded cap....
I'm also happy to hear you liked those Aero caps they like them a lot back at corporate HQ..... ha ha ha...
Myself I think their nice but before long I'm right back to my glass caps.... the taste is just to good... I find myself craving it now..... Yum Yum....
I think you'll be back...! mild pun intended...ha ha

Are you really sure thats what you want to do....... They are now standing behind their product with a 2 year warranty... The USB has been rock solid with the introduction of the 05 model and from the sounds of this most recent review that hiccup with the charging IC has been nailed down as well..... I don't know.
I think you'll be back...! mild pun intended...ha ha

Thanks for tutorial video.
I redid it and the unit seems solid and good.
The dial still has a dead spot that shows up around 6.5, that I must push a bit past to keep it heating, but I can live with that.
I prefer not to send my unit in, as I would miss it too much in it's absence, and postage is a "bear" besides.
If the function begins to show deterioration at 6.5 on the dial, I will surely be in touch.
Thanks again for posting the tutorial link, and for willingness to get the unit 'shored up' to clients satisfaction.
