Discontinued Inhalater INH05/5S/6

HA HA HA HA HA!
Just checked shipping (for an already expensive part-$15) to me in the UK, and the cheapest option is.......$53.37!?!

Priority is.......$115!?!?!?!

Does Canada post just use a chain gang of folk passing parcels hand to hand over the Rockies?

Maybe the normal cap fits into an 18.8mm joint?
I could just drill a hole for the glass capsule to pass through.

Maybe hold off on the further testing.
I asked this question of Inhalater themselves too, and they replied just now that sticking non Inhalater parts into the INH05 will invalidate warranty!

I'm sure that something too small wouldn't damage anything, but who knows what something fractionally too large would do.

Since I wanted GonG, INH suggests their own water tool, and the glass capsule.
They say this is Gong.
I say- not quite, as there's exposed plastic in the vapour path.
But I suppose it's minimal, and there's already polyimide in the air pass elsewhere amyway.

They also stated that the glass cap's are 10.3mm OD.

Trouble is that shipping of the water tool adapter from Canada to me will likely be ridiculously expensive (yet to check that though)

Thanks for trying this though ShayWhiteGro.
I'm going to keep looking for a better GonG than INH's one.

I'm not going to even ask about custom made though!

Wow!
That's just awesome of you I'm positively coasting on warm fuzzies

I'll Pm you my address, and please let me know how much it costs to ship, and I'll PayPal you.
Thank you

imagine having to pay for that if your unit stops working every six months and you need a replacement and top of that having the company asking you to pay upgrades because they dont produce the previous model anymore.

Just wanted to pop in and say my inh5s is still running great !
Haven't had any issues,with it. The glass capsule makes it a super stealth solo imo.
Time to load some wax up !

i agree mine too and great idea!!

Super Stealth Solo would be an Arizer Air.

Inh05 is a stealthy Inh05.

Mine too. Just used it last night for a concert. Reliable, and continues to push buckets of vapor into my face.

Dito.... I couldn't possibly agree more.... my INH05 "S" is still an absolute Monster vapor factory......

I too believe the glass capsules make all the difference.... I think the glass helps to attenuate some of the conduction properties or at least slows it down.... doing so retains good flavor much longer....... Now I don't know about you all but when it taste good longer... I tend to get more out of a capsule....

Actually I don't know that you can just say the smaller would be OK.... I say that becasue I think the larger concern is how thick the walls of the capsule are and from the pic it looks as though the Gong adapter is quite thick.... this will make it extremely difficult for the heat transfer to take place so your results will be less than desirable.... and then I think the manufacturer would then be very concerned about how the extra heat required to penetrate the thicker glass will very likely damage the flex heater which is the heart of the Inhalator....

I think you'll find that the WTA actually isn't in the vapor path but more around it..... you see it snaps into the top just like the cover does..... and then at the other end it's on the outside of the glass capsule..... now if your going to be using the traditional Polyimide caps with the WTA then I can see the argument that there is some plastic exposed but to that I would remind you that it will be much cooler than the vapor coming out of the mouthpiece and therefore will have vapor condensing on it so there shouldn't be any concern....IMO

I see what you're saying, and in all honesty my concerns re' plastic in the air path are minimal (otherwise I wouldn't have ordered one of these vapes!).

But since any vapour produced by the unit, will then be entering my bubbler, and then free to contact the exposed plastic end of the WTA before being breathed into my lungs, I consider a small part of it (the WTA) to be in the vapour path (as I understand the term).

Of course, material safety seems to be a hotly debated topic here on FC (I think, I'm new here) and I wouldn't presume to suggest that any design aspect of the INH05 is unsafe, I just intended to state that I'd prefer an all glass WTA/capsule design (especially at the cost involved in getting one from Inhalator).
I just like glass as a material better than plastic.

Of course, since ShayWhiteGrow has very kindly sent me his spare WTA without charge (wouldn't even take shipping costs!) I'll be happily using that as it'll be saving me around $60.
I've got glass stems coming too.

e-cig vapers happily vape VG/PG and flavourings directly off nichrome and cotton, along with other materials, so nothing in the INH05 really gives me cause for concern.
That being said, can anyone clarify whether the Polyimide around the heater wire isolates the nichrome from the vapour path?
Or is it just to conduct heat from the wire to the capsule?
I couldn't quite work this out from the INH website.

I'm very much looking forward to the arrival of my INH05, and ShayWhiteGrow's WTA, as I chose this vape based upon the good owner feedback re' use through water, which I like

I'll have to be patient though, as I got the INH from Massdrop, so It'll likely be the end of the month before it gets here

With the glass capsules the path will be all glass like tge solo and the capsule is longer then the WTA so the adapter bascially acting to make sure the unit is snug in the glass bubbler etc. The polymide capsules hold twice as much for a way better high. Taste is still very good the mighty also has an all plastic vapor path and the taste of it rivals the firefly. The plastic/ glass/ metal vapor path flavor debate still thrives! very subjective

Yes I think I can.... the heater wire is actually a flat ribbon like you would see on an older circuit board but of course there is no board just the polyimide film on both sides of this ribbon thereby sealing it from any air....

Can I ask for clarification about the Massdrop sale you mentioned...so it was $101 for a INH05 and not an INH06.... is that correct?

I can answer as I saw the link on Massdrop. It was for the INH005.

Yup, INH05-$95.99
Thanks for clarifying my air path question.
I stumbled across ShayWhiteGrow's youtube videos of the INH05 through his bubbler, and It looks like this vape is exactly what I was looking for

Has anyone here tried concentrates from their INH05?
I'm thinking that if I made a 'puck' by simply rolling up a stainless screen to it into the glass stem, then putting my wax or whatever in, then inserting the stem into the INH to use upside down on my bong.
I know some folk use cotton, but maybe stainless would be cleaner?

>>> Seem like a good idea.. I mostly grind the wax then mix with herb and then get a double cap. session ))
Glass capsules come already with a screen so (you can secure a wax shard by adding a second screen to hold it in place) am I picturing this right?

Yeah, but I'm thinking it might be useful to have something other than the screens to 'soak up' liquified concentrate (rosin shatter in my case) to keep it from simply running down the stem out of the 'heat zone' and into the bong/bubbler.
I've tried sandwiching concentrates in ABV similarly to your method, and that works for me too (despite my vape being a crappy Aida.)

I'm definitely going to give the 'puck' thing a go once the INH gets here at the end of the month, but I wondered if anyone else had already tried anything like that?

I have become MONUMENTALLY lightweight over the years for some reason, so I need to work out a way of doing this with tiny amounts.
(I'm so lightweight that I'm even thinking of getting some Hop flowers to 'dilute' my weed so I can enjoy clouds without passing out! Happy to have this problem BTW)

By the way ShayWhiteGrow, what is the glass piece you're using in your INH05s Youtube vid?, that's pretty cool.

I'm going to chime in as well because after all you did say "from their Inhalater" as in concentrates that condense along the inside walls of the capsules....
The answer is Yes I have reclaimed and use often in my Inhalater..... when you reclaim you will find that it is very sticky with the consistency of play doo but very very sticky..... I take a very tiny piece and roll it into a hot dog..... I then pull in some flower to give the cap a base layer then I lay in my hotdog that has been rolled in flowers to help with the stickiness..... I then pull in flower to fill the remainder of the capsule.... I do try to get the hot dog in the center of the capsule long ways.... it doesn't take much...

Its fantastic and for sure one of the unique features of the Inhalater design..... I highly recommend try this....you will not be sorry you did trust me.....

Thanks guys :-)
The Massdrop has suffered a small (I hope) delay due to the standard capsules being inadequate in some way (don't know how), so I'll have to draw upon my emergemcy patience reserves!
A mate has splashed out on a Pax2, so it'll be fun to compare the two, eventually.

I will be testing my inhalater 6 by end of next week!

They have some new prices up for the inhalater 5 - 169$

Its basically the same as 05. Except they got rid of the plastic around the heater (people were complaining about melted plastic in 05 when it first came out). Essentially its what the 05 should've been.

Not at all my friend.

The inhalater 6 is equipped with pulse extraction!

Pulse extraction? What exactly does that mean and how does it effect extraction? Why is there no mention of it on the website? I used both the 05 and 06 and found no difference.

One other thing they changed is that they covered the lights and now appear less bright.

I asked I had this answer :
Pulse Heating Trigger allow for more control over heating process makes the inhalater more responsive and adapts to your own inhaling rhythm. No more slow burn
Also New and fresh vapor is generated for each individual hoot...
and finally it is the contrast in temperature each time the trigger is activated for a puff that allow for ticker vapor cloud at lower temp. setting
