Discontinued Inhalater INH05/5S/6

PPN said:

I never tried the solo but the taste of the 05 is nice for the first draws but quickly degrades, clouds production is big at 6+ but before 6 there is nothing except if you wait a lot between hits, I prefer the Xp which heat the load more gradually and gave me more consistent low temp hits.
Where the 05 shines is the convenience of use on the go and the high quality components! but it got a lot of of good competitors now....

re Taste - I was of a similar opinion at first. Over the past few weeks I've been converted to low temps. I start on 3 and can do a whole session between 3 and 4, and it's like licking weed/velvet/butter. Then 2nd sesh on Auto, and maybe crank to 7 for the last minute or two. I could honestly stay below 5 just for the amazing flavour. Each click of the dial in the low range is another fresh blast!
And maybe a 3rd sesh above 6 if I haven't had a chance to reload; I know it'll be effective, but I know I won't like it

As for convenience and stealth - I watched a movie at an Octoplex with this thing in my hand. I did put a wrap of electrical tape over the LED - you can read a book by it at night. I was also using it sitting in the lobby waiting for SO to return from the heads...

Hi, about taste, I made a test: a fresh loaded capsule in the 05 for a whole session at 6, got clouds but nothing crazy(I know there is not lot of clouds before 7...), abv was brown (not really dark but definitly brown not yellow) and still sticky !

I put it in my Nano and got 4 big hits but not tasty at all so there is still goodies in but all the terps are out...

I made the same test with my Alfa for a great whole session (longer than the 05) at medium and high, abv was out yellow and got one whispy hit with the Nano....

So I'm convinced now there is a problem with the Inhalater's heaters, that's why it don't taste good after the first hits, that's why you can't get both clouds and taste (I can with my Alfa or FW and even with some chinese new portables) and that's why it need a long time to recover heat between hits. I don't want to bash this product but it need a lot of improvements in taste department

After removing the knob from my INH004 (to replace the battery), I was unable to lift the electronics, despite using every ounce of my strength. I then used the edge of a kitchen knife to prise it off, but it wouldn't budge. Please. advise. Thank you.

I'm beginning to think we should either open with what unit we are going to comment on or we should have started another thread.... and I say this because this particular modification is a very unique in nature because it just so happens to double the power of the unit..... and an even more unique effect on this hybrid approach to vaporizing....because YES it doubled the power but because of this manufacturers hybrid design the majority of that extra power was given over to the convection properties.....so.....
as we might all imagine this could and should react and behave different enough that we should call out which we are talking about.....

I know when we are logged in and our signature line is updated those of us who are members can see what unit is being talked about..... I have 3 different versions of this design XP, 05, and now 05"S" and IMHO I feel the XP and 05 were more set apart by build quality whereas this "S" mod is separated by performance, capabilities including taste......

"it's like licking weed/velvet/butter" couldn't agree more...... I do also appreciate that 3rd run though and don't wish to let it go in the ABV bucket......
You might like trying this with the "S" mod...... say about 2 minutes into your 3rd run set it up on 8-9 and do this during your inhalation....instead of a stead draw like normal.... draw to fill just your mouth then let that in your lungs.. again fill just your mouth etc..... this will do a bit of a roast and sweep followed again by another short roast and sweep until your lungs are full..... if you use glass the taste remains fairly good still.... its cookin no doubt but still tasty..... I'm able to get several good inhalations before there is nothing left to roast....

I do believe that the lower temps with the "S" mod are superior simply because the heating engine is much quicker to respond and able to maintain a bit longer...... that and the fact that the vaporization ratio has been tipped more towards the convectional side.....helping to create that velvet weed butter.

NICE.....

@Old School - I kinda flubbed up, but in a good way. I changed my sigfile in a fit of 'it'll be there when I get home', but instead got an email from Greg saying 'oops, we delayed your shipping'. I'm hoping the S gets here today as I have another trip out of town next week, and it will be a great time to have some intimate encounters with Miss S. Short story is my sig says S, but I'm holding hands with her little sister.

So now I'm *really* excited about her arrival. I think today, but I'm also starting to go all 'shroedigers mailbox' in my head, if ya catch my drift?

I'm OK with an ABV bucket. Everything gets a home one way or the other. I've been using a mix of ABV and fresh herb in budder for tea. It's a great cool evening dog walking tipple! But before I fill the bucket any further I'll give your idea a shot. I think we can call that draw style 'The Goldfish', for lack of a better term?

It's so rare we get to make quantum theory jokes here at FC....

@killick wow are you in for a treat.... and please do come back on and share your thoughts... keep a look out for that "missing ingredient" :-)
also remember it is alot stronger if you do decide to travel up into those high temps..... any type of long deep draw is going to get extremely warm on your throat....

Its been a long time since I've even seen a video of the INH0004 so all I can offer you is.... to focus your attention to lifting up on the side opposite the USB port and if it is still being stubborn don't forget to push in the LED so that it will clear the body's edge.... as I do believe the LED helped to secure the circuit board as well as the USB port itself.....

I'm curious if you always only do a single run because I have found that the 2nd session run is by far the best in having nice yummy clouds draw after draw....for pretty much the entire 10 minutes.....and now since I've been enjoying my "S" mod my 3rd run is much shorter now...when alone but if sharing in a crowd we together with the "S" mod can completely extract all there is to be had in just 2 short 10 minute sessions.... Nice...
Also wanted to comment about the ABV still being sticky..... that is one of my ways of knowing if it is truly spent.... does it tap out of my glass tube...if it doesn't fall out then it isn't quite finished yet....

My mailbox is full, until I get there... I'm kinda terrified. Like snipping the red wire without knowing if it's the right one or not...

PS - been on the virgin hot buddered tea all morning, and just back from Heat Island. Time to go for a walk and shake the box! or to follow

Edit - it's a followed by another trip to Heat Island to console myself. I was using the 05 on the way there and back tho - 3.5 out, auto on way back. Trippy

I did as you suggested, and managed only to take off a chunk of the plastic surround. So I'll have to toss it, and look for something else. Thanks for the advice anyway.

I'm so sorry.....I have always wanted to run into someone who still had a working INH004 for comparison reasons.....
I do believe I remembered something that is likely holding you up.... I don't believe those 004 had a ribbon cable that folded to allow for length extension when accessing the battery...therefore you would also need to push in the top LED again in far enough to clear the body..... then the chamber can be slid down enough to allow the bottom circuit board to slide down and out of the way....

Should your looking for something else lead you to buying a new 05.... I would love to hear your thoughts... jumping from an 004 to the 05.... is a 2 or 3 year evolutionary leap and although the mass majority of elements have gone unchanged... the heat element has undergone several change/improvements along the way and if I remember correctly the 004 was the last of the round wire elements....
Can you tell me....did you ever feel your vapor was too warm / bitter on the back of your throat..?

I was just vaping with my inhalater 005 at 8 temperature and i heard a sound like a click and it turned off...now it doesnt turn on or charge...

No worries... don't get too worried {which I did at 1st}.... it is the thermal protection has been tripped.... once it cools down a little it will turn back on.....

Now that is important to make NOTE of.....when this happens the entire unit shuts down...heating and charging..... can be very stressful if you don't know its coming.... anyway be SURE to turn the dial to the off position so that when the TP does cool down it will resume heating..... so turn it OFF

Also to avoid tripping the TP... I try to take short sips or mouthfuls.....when set up on 8 or 9..... this issue has been identified a few pages back in the thread and I do believe it has been resolved in future builds and if it is unsatisfactory or happens much too often then they will warranty fix it for you....

Ya mine trips after 10 puffs on 6 and has charging issues.It dont take much to thrip the thermal i can even finish a capsul sux sucking on a already cooled load.

Also i watch vids and thees pple ar haulling and the light flashes fas the hole time mine not mater how slow i suck the dam light starts blinking slow. Like its trying to heat up

One question is their only one eployee are they made in a basment. Just curiouse. The body of the xp i got to say looks alot nice from the pics ive seen the leds even have light caps.

Also i notice the top hole close to the light gets more airflow and also sux air threw the electronic any one else check it out. I know pple where up in arms about the davinci vapor path vs electronics

I'm a little surprised.... weren't you one of the 1st to report this and I thought you post almost 2 weeks ago that your replacement was on its way..... are these above comments about the original 05 you received or your new warranty replacement.....?

As for your question about the electronics....not only is the chamber sealed off from the top circuit board... there happens to be next to nothing electronic on the top board {tiny fuse, thermal protector and ribbon cable connections.....all of the heavy electronic components are kept down on the lower circuit board.....

There is another possibility... one of the chamber upgrade/improvements was to relocate the solder connections to the actual heating element...to outside the air path and in doing so there was an extra bridge piece {plug basically} that may have fallen out or not completely sealed...... it might explain your light behavior... acting as if your heat was exhausted much too quickly {as in chamber not completely sealed} the 2nd thing you mentioned about hearing more air sound in front by the light might also suggest this could be the deal....however the plug for the chamber is directly above the hole opposite the LED light {in back}. Either way if this is your original 05 it needs a little factory TLC..

Yup still waiting nothing yet kind of gave up Must be big air leek lol Can feil the air enter the botom

Old School, No, the vapor was never too warm nor too bitter, although I seldom used it on a heat setting higher than 7. Re a new 05, I hesitate to buy one, because Inhalater have no agents here in Australia, they charge far more for postage than any other overseas firm I've ever dealt with, and I don't want to risk the same problem, throwing good money after bad. I've got my eye on the new Arizer Air, successor to the highly regarded Arizer Solo, when I can afford one. Arizer have an agent in Australia (www.australianvaporizers.com.au) that gives excellent service and competitive prices. Thank you for your concern, much appreciated.

im hooping the replacement comes soon Canada post has a habbit of leaving stuff on my front steps instead of sending it to the pick up place kind of bad too

their a shop on Clifton hill in Niagara falls ont that wanted to see a unit and maybe and maybe place an order but not sure if that going to happen now they have a shop in Hamilton too

Hello Inhalation Nation.... PPN's post about taste and ABV had been on my mind as I too was noticing the ABV was much lighter and I too was able to transfer over to my XP and was easily able to extract almost 3 good rips and then the ABV was dark brown like I was used to seeing......

Now although I love the added extra convection of this "S" mod as I have posted... it is almost too much at the higher temps so I began to think how great it would be if we could turn off the convection heater at those higher temps especially during the tail end of my inhalation.....

Well friends I then remembered a email back Q3 2013 when the manufacture suggested a method that might more closely emulate that of the Q2 {my 1st love} behavior but manually.....so here it is...

I have found it is perfect for squeezing out that last little bit and feels great on the throat as it puts us more in control over the heat during the tail end of our inhalation...

After enjoying a run on 5-6 and then a 2nd on 6-7 instead of dialing it up to 8-9 for a 3rd and try to handle all of that heat... here is what I've tried and it was so amazing it needs to be shared....
So dial it up all the way to 9 after flashing stops wait 5 secs {my S has 2nd flash seq during my 5 count} then I begin my inhalation...and a 4 count {4-6 secs} at which time I dial it back down to 6-7 for the rest of the inhalation draw.....

This creates a very smooth vapor and the kicker is the bitter bite it used to have on the back of my throat is NOT there using this technique....

I have also found it works well at the lower temps but to be honest.... I'm possibly a bit too lazy for all that all the time..... but I figured there are others out there who like me prefer to squeeze out every last drop possible..... and with this high powered unit it is best achieved with this method......

Oh please Canada Post get here with my S this week so I can test it. Before I fly out on Saturday for a month!

Just read through all 71 pages. Took me awhile. Hello all, I'm a longtime reader of FC but never actually made a account for some reason. Until now! Anyways, I've gone through 4 inh xp units. My fourth lasting sonething like 8 months and just crapped out. I emailed Greg and he hooked me up with a great deal on a inh05. Now after reading through Im worried I should have went with the "s" version. My xp ripped (when it worked) Im just hoping this new unit isn't as temperamental. After reading still sounds like a lot of problems still.

@Christoffff - not to worry as you have a great unit. Loads of horsepower on its own. Bugs don't seem to be an issue after a few in a short period, and Inhalater is quick with replacements if required.

I'm upgrading simply due to the winter cold as this should have a faster recovery time in the minus temps of the Great White North of Canada, when I spend a lot of time out wandering the bush with the pooch. Enjoy it and don't worry about the wee difference in horsepower.

I'm from Canada too!

Cool beans - just moved away from Calgary last summer. Time for less traffic

I'm from tiny town of 800 people called sedgewick. Doubt you've heard of it. It's 2 hours east of edmonton

I've been through it. I grew up on the sask side of the border, plus I spent a few years at the Wainwright training base in the 80s.
