I got one new brotha!!

Thanks for looking out! You are awesome.

So I'm looking for suggestions on running this through water??

I've never been a bit smoker so bongs pipes pieces aren't my thing, I know very little about them. Vaped as long as I can remember. What's a good suggestion that wouldn't be too spendy for a water pipe thing lol
A couple of places at DHGate: I've had the best customer service from lumin88
The question is what kind if water device do you want? I have a small hammer and hydrotube that I like because they are very light. A lot of people begin with a DO-20 of some kind. I aso have an FC-UFO that I like.

Degummed hemp fiber works too!
Elfwick sells it
Dynvap i believe does too

I was looking into that degummed hemp fiber as a filter material and I've also looked at the Elfwick site before and then did some more research and learned that you can also buy it in bulk at a very relatively reasonable price .....and it is very likely the same stuff from the provided photos.

If you do a google search for "grade a degummed hemp fiber" the first Amazon listing that pops up has 250g of degummed hemp fiber with a photo that shows a sample that looks very similar to a cotton-like material that looks pretty much the same as the degummed hemp fiber that I've seen advertised for the niche e-cig market. I think that I will purchase some and see what it's like.

That's just SO MUCH fiber, lol. The little pack that elfwick gave me isn't even like 3% used up. It lasts sooo long.
Just my added cents :)

I was finally able to come across some better herb (no seeds!!, although, that was a very rare occasion), so I decided to make another video showing what good (still not great) herb can do. I also dropped a little piece of oil on top to show some of you the process.
First hit is the melter (primer), keep it small so you get as much flavor as possible for the real hit. Pull at the first few signs of vapor.
Hit #2 you go all out. Very difficult to combust because the oil coats the herb and keeps it from charring. YMMV, don't sue me if you combust.
The rest is history.

@TheDudeNextDoor Hey, what are you doing on my shirt? :hmm:

Got an email from Sheila yesterday......my Milaana should be shipping next week.
Edited: for excessive whining :(; although some frustration is warranted :rant: ;) :D

I suppose that the one bonus to having had a longer wait would be that I should be receiving the latest recessed glass joint and stainless steel screen air intake model with a little higher level of fit and finish than the earliest models.......I supposed that is the "stainless steel lining" to this cloud :)
I'm still waiting after being told 6/3 and 6/6, so consider yourself lucky... but it is worth the wait.

I'm not sure how providing me with promised potential delivery dates for your second backup unit ordered May 8th (Pg 139, Post 3452) is supposed to make me feel lucky in that I still haven't received my first unit that was ordered February 23rd? :huh:

I don't see the correlation......I think that I must be missing something in the translation :shrug:

I suppose that I will have to decide if it's worth the wait when it arrives......I am hopefully optimistic - but I also use water almost exclusively, so it might be a little tough to get dialed in to not deal with combustion :science: but it is always fun to learn how to best use a new vape .....so there is that to look forward to at least :)

Wrote Sheila once again. It's a simple point.


Hello Sheila,
Referencing the below email re issue 2 & 3 below.
You said it would ship last week. Ryan said it would ship before 6/3. Has it shipped, it's 6/11. The only reason I did not cancel this order and go to planet Vape is your reply. I'd have a brand new Milaana in my hand if I got accurate info from you. I feel misled.

Next, you said you could not refund my long stem order (3 below) because it shipped. That was not true. It has not shipped or its lost in transit. I have no tracking on it.

Refund so I can buy another, or ship today. I'm tired of this misinformation keeping me in limbo. Please be professional about this. I'm a loyal customer who has spent a lot of money with you, and I tout you on FC all the time. Please do the right thing here, ship or refund TODAY.

I look forward to a prompt response and a Milaana I ordered over a month ago, thank you.

Hello Sheila,
2. I have a second Millaana on order from May 8th and would like to know when I will receive now that I'm without.
Her reply was week of 6/6, Ryan said 6/3. It is 6/11 no shipping.

3. I realize I like short stems, can u refund this order of 2 long stems?
Her reply was it shipped. It did not.

I look forward to your response,
Thanks Again

At least you got a response. I sent an email via the web form at the beginning of the week asking when my Milaana might ship and have yet to hear anything. :-\

I really love my Laana but oh my! Is this the "super" heater underneath??? Just a piece of mesh??? I was expecting something more high tech... I hope this revelation doesn't affect our relationship. It's like getting a new car and suddenly realize it's new high tech engine is just a 20 year old one with new plastics around it... :p

Except Milaana has no plastic that I know of. It was mentioned a long long time ago that this heater is based off of a hair dryer. Anyone paying attention should have picked up that the heater is just an ss mesh. I realize that beta members made it sound like it as an ss surface or plate but when hair dryer and MFLB heater tech are mentioned it should have been kinda obvious at that point IMHO.

Nothing wrong with reusing old tech. Sometimes refined old tech is more advanced then newer tech. It all comes down to how you apply the tech to the build.

instead of "ship or refund today!" why not just ask for a refund? clearly they arent ready to ship units, while it has been documented itt that they will provide refunds to preorders.

your ultimatum of sorts is a little silly imo given the above.

---

RBT has already missed multiple self imposed shipping deadlines, while PV has the updated mi in stock and ready to ship for about the same price. further, you would be dealing with PV going forward for any CS needs. seems like an easy choice.

Hola FC:
That SS mesh you guys see there, is supposed to be wrapping the heater in a nice fashionable way.
IMO that heater was under wrapped due to:
IMO
--- bad QC control
--- hurried up production because our complaints on the waiting too long, they were scared of having to start refunding people and you know the future, sloppiness ;)
--- poor don't give a shit production with the threats of "patented bla bla bla heater tech" and "they will not cover warranty " if you peek at his "infamous hair drier patent technology"
BULLSHIT.
--- looks to me that they never used enough SS screen to wrap like a condom the heater and the mica plate.
--- BTW I doubt they will ever cover your warranty on that Milaana because they are going to assume that you fiddle/mess with the heater in the process of auto repairing it.
Crossing my fingers for you...
Good luck, but I believed you already said FUCK RBT warranty, right??
I'm curious how's the performance affected by that fucked up SS heater screen cover airflow direction must be all messed up,
Are you getting more hotspots I'm guessing???
Stay vaped...


I was finally able to come across some better herb (no seeds!!, although, that was a very rare occasion), so I decided to make another video showing what good (still not great) herb can do. I also dropped a little piece of oil on top to show some of you the process.

Hola FC:
I'm seeing you are getting pretty well the ROTATING STEM TECHNIQUE I praise since I got Milanesa.
I'm happy that youth still reads and follow advice of older FCers :myday:
It's so easy after you get it.
And I'm sure and I put my money on it, that you'll almost never combust.
Nice videos...
Stay vaped...

Your heater appears to be fucked up, did it make a lot of noise or provide a lot of resistance when the fitting came out?
--- looks to me that they never used enough SS screen to wrap like a condom the heater and the mica plate.

Hope they honor the warranty!
