Discontinued Indica Vaporizer

Ok folks,
The Chinese Country has more holidays than all Judeo Christian philosophies combined. Assuming they return to work, we begin pumping out production of the new improved Indica. I know, what does that mean? For all essential purposes, heater problem fixed, faster heat up time, increased battery life and cleaner vapor taste. Until, I actually test, stateside, and approve the sample of the production unit, the ship date is questionable, but if the manufacturing operation meets it's responsibilities, we'll all see these new units here in about 2 weeks. I'll keep you informed with the results of the test when production unit arrives in the next 7 to 10 days.

Beta Testers for the next Indica, start your cerebral engines. Testing will begin this month.

So I finally joined this forum, firstly, as I have read about these Indicas from the very first posts made back when I was deciding what portable vape to purchase last August and it was the most thorough and informative, and secondly, since I now have a bit of a mess on my hands involving 3 failed Indicas.

I will continue by saying I really enjoyed my original silver and then the two black models that came as a replacement. The quality of the experience - however short lived - was excellent and I don't feel like I want to use any other system at the moment.

I'm the type of person that tries to make a solid purchase based on good research and tries to not buy extra gadgets for the sake of having variety and also that I don't have much extra income currently to just go out and purchase more.

After the first failed model in November I had excellent customer service as I didn't even have to send my original silver one in they went ahead and replaced it with 2 black versions that both eventually died as well. 3 weeks ago I put in another request and after it was requested that I send them in, I finally went out and spent the money to ship all 3 to their center in Missouri all the while being told repeatedly - I've made a few follow up calls on my end for the past couple weeks - that I'd be getting a call back just like I had the first time to arrange a unit to be shipped this way.

I understand the dilemma at this point in time because there's a new version coming that hopefully is reliable, but at the very least I would hope that Indica could either be honest the first time about what's happening and say "we are working on a new version, stay tuned for your replacement" or simply fulfill their promise of shipping out an Indica in the short term that is likely to fail (based on my experience) until the new product is released and shipped.

Can someone at Indica read this and stop ignoring me and/or not make promises that they can't keep? I would appreciate the follow up promised.

I hope it's all up from here, you've got a good thing Indica!

@ma125 & @dozzijdp, I'll admit that the timing of the replacement heater did not go as planned. There not much more I could have done until the correct solution was found and replacements sent out. As of today, I understand that samples are on there way for my approval with the replacement heater. Let me be clear, this is not the heater that will be used on the the miniature Indica but a better heater for the original unit that will last the warranty period and longer.

I know I had hoped for an earlier date, but made sure to express that all was up to the will of the Chinese manufacturers. Now , by going through what I feel we have jumped through multiple tasks and hopes, we will know by friday if we took the correct track. Either way, I'll Let you know. No shading of facts.

@ma125, I will PM you later today as I need a little rest but promise to stay behind the promise of indica providing you and your fellow patrons with the best quality product and customer service in the vaporization industry asi of this day looking forward.

All m y best,
Michael

If it's the real size of the zippo or close to the zippo, this would be the ultimate discrete vaporizer and a must own. And this an ignorant statement from a man who never used the regular indica. But from what I gathered from this thread, it seems that this a great conduction vape that had some heater problems which are to be fixed.

i have the OG silver and Noir with no heater problems to date. I gifted the OG silver one to a youngbuck who uses it exclusively with no issues.

Hi Guys,
Just got the samples last night. Here's my report based on a quick run through of production components assembled by office workers, not the assembly line folks. All past off gassing is eradicated, in other words, pretty close to convection. Vapor Density on higher temps seem to dense (Bong like) but it's not from combustion. All ABV is a dark roasted Coffee but no black or crispness. Our temp needs to be adjusted from 418 to 412. All vapor densities have increased at each setting.

I still have battery and cycle testing to report but so far, very pleased. Returning to China on Saturday Morning and turning on the spigot once we have adequate production and QC adjustments completed. Thank you all for waiting.
