I used Ratchett's Pax 2 Adapter for this video. Prally coulda gotten some denser clouds, but I tried putting a drop of oil on top of my weed that coulda been a little dryer
. Still nice results!

Greetings,
Wanted to give everyone a quick update on our progress. First, let me thank you all so much for your valuable feedback; we've taken all your thoughts and suggestions into consideration and have made some changes based off of them.
SOFTWARE:
We've been testing several new versions of the software and have been getting exceptionally better results. One of the main tests we conducted was loosely packing a cup with herbs, inserting it into the miVape, powering the unit on and leaving it at 350F for 6 minutes without doing anything. After the 6 minutes we took the cup out to determine if any part of the herbs were browned from conduction. We're happy to say that the herbs were still nice and green, but very ready to be vaped (what we call the "green point"). One pull right after it was picked up was a nice, large cloud that was very tasty. The session went on for about 6 more minutes before the flavor diminished. This test was repeated several times and the results were the same and the abv was very even and had no signs of charring or burning.
Note: As many have mentioned, packing the herbs loosely but filling the cup full is the way to go. This allows for more air to enter the cup as you inhale and vaporizes the herbs evenly.
Other software changes include having "miVape" show up longer on the screen when powered on and the battery levels and charging readings have been corrected to reflect the proper charge and we also adjusted the indicator (thermometer icon - tells you the set temperature is reached) timing so it's more accurate.
BODY:
We've made the following changes:
We're finalizing our new production schedule and will let everyone know when to expect units to be available as well as when replacement units will be sent to our current miVape users.
As always, if anyone has any questions please reach out to me directly at dan@vaporfection.com
Thanks for your time and support.

BODY:
We've made the following changes:
- Modified battery door to close flush when battery is inserted
- Strengthened hinge on battery door
- Opened battery pathway for better ease of installing/removing battery
- Strengthened eject spring for battery
- Added more resistance to the flip-top lid so it feels less flimsy
- Modified mouthpiece latch to fully retract to allow for easier removal of mouthpiece
- Added clarification on how to pack the herbs loosely
- Added clarification on how to line up arrows when inserting the mouthpiece
- Updated charging times (3 hours before first use; recharge after 50-60 minutes)
- Added clarification on the Waxy Oil cloths (use 2-3 layers each time)
- Added more information and made it easier to adjust the temperature, temperature unit (F/C) as well as how to adjust the auto-shut off and how to stop the unit from shutting down after the time is reached and shut down begins.
- Added a suggested temperature guide
We're finalizing our new production schedule and will let everyone know when to expect units to be available as well as when replacement units will be sent to our current miVape users.

Thanks you Dan!
Just wanted to share theses with yous:
I switched the stock screen to the INH screen (Very strong screen, Usem in my hammer and Air PVHE Vortex stem) Way more air flow and no char even with the beast at 430. Straight convective yummy goodness! New bubbler vid coming with this screen. We'll see for comparisons sake. I'm really liking this vape!

Yesterday I decided to give the vape a try anyway, and my experience was very much like the one @Mynameismud described. I kept the unit on for about 9-10 minutes, 320°F-325°F. That should correspond to about 185°C-190°C/370°F-375°F, according to the conversion chart. The load was about 0,12g.
There was very little visible vapor/clouds. The vapor that was there, was very hot and harsh on my throat. The unit became very hot, too hot to touch. After the first two hits, the taste became very bad, and it didn't taste like cannabis. There were some effects, but they were minor and the feeling was not a very comfortable one (perhaps partly due to the taste.)
The abv was almost all black:

Later I read Vaporfection's post. Glad to see that the issues are being taken care of.
(For some reason I haven't been able to post photos successfully for a while. Could someone help me out?)

@dormouse, you posted the url for imgur's page that displays the image, but not the image url itself. In this case, the only difference is the "i." before "http://imgur.com/ApymS27". So the correct direct image url should be "http://i.imgur.com/ApymS27.jpg". You can always get the direct link url by right mouse clicking on the image and select "copy image url". Alternatively you can just copy the "direct link" url from your imgur page.
Feel free to PM me if that made no sense!

Any word when the updated units will be sent out to the current miVapes users?
Yeah mines been sitting in my drawer for at least a week...

mine too. It seems now that even at 260f it spikes to superhot anyway.

I am still using my MiVape even though I am only using it on 255f, I really enjoy this using vape and the taste is hard to beat. Really looking forward to the replacement units and it sounds like Vaporfection has nailed down the software and they're getting great results.

I've been using it at 270 for herb and 300 for wax and been getting pretty decent taste. I too myself looking forward to the replacement.

I read every page. I had to do something while I was hitting my evo. So yeah, lurker here with VAS problems. Almost considered the Crafty but now I don't know. Thanks for all the reading material and shared knowledge. Stay lifted!

How does the mivape compare to the pax2 or Davinci Ascent?

I don't own one, but since Pax2 and Ascent are predominantly conduction devices that constantly cook, and mivape is supposedly all convection (or at least a more favorable mix) it should hit harder and taste better than both, with more onboard power. It's like a Mighty

The pax2 cools down after 30 seconds of inactivity, so as not to cook the bud. Then the motion sensor kicks in when you pick it up to raise the temp back to the desired setting.

Yeah but its still not the same, its still conduction based, and is cooking then you're inhaling, vs you're inhaling doing the cooking

Im confused on this because in the Warranty agreement it states
"Your RMA number must appear clearly on the shipping label on the outside of the return shipment. A letter or copy of your email stating your name, order number, item model, and serial number (if applicable), and nature of the problem must be placed inside the return shipment, which shall be shipped to us at your cost. Upon approval, you will receive instructions on how to proceed with returning the unit to us. We must receive the damaged or malfunctioning unit prior to sending any replacement. Your authorized return may be processed, repaired, and shipped within 5-7 business days after receipt by us."

I don't know if Vaporfection's general return policy has changed since that was written, or if it's changed with respect to units that are DOA, but in this particular case, customers have been told to expect an e-mail with a return service label.
What I do hope is that "any UPS store" includes any European post office.
I got my return label (ups) and sent my units back yesterday. It's nice we get to keep the accessories to use when the new updated units ship

Hi all. Is the update just to the software or hardware. There is a store that has them in stock and I'm tempted (stupid VAS).
Thanks for any info.
**edit** ok, just re read the update email answers some of my questions.
Mine should arrive SOON!

Can someone post a video review of the updated unit? I'd like to see an updated review before I make plans to purchase.

I got the return email with the postage and I am waiting a little bit to send my unit back, until I hear when the new units are arriving because I am still using my old miVape but I plan to send it back this week and hope the new ones will be arriving shortly....Has anyone heard anything on when they might ship out to the current miVape users?
