    Discontinued FlowerMate V8.0 by Smiss

    Well I shouldn't have bothered! I should have read up on the Vapir No2 here at FC before my purchase! As you may have guessed my Vapir No2 turned up! In my brief Flowermate v8 vs Vapir no2 test. The Flowermate is in a different class, much quicker to heat, it's a much better quality build and...

    @KeroZen Glad they managed to get you one that works! Also from your description they have made quite a few changes. At the same time as I feel a little gutted, It also makes me feel even luckier, with the now obvious 'pre-production' model I recieved a couple of weeks back. I'm glad I don't...

    In my experience as long as you give it a minute after reaching temperature. It's given me smooth and almost resistance free, tasty vapors. Considering the temperatures your herbs are reaching the vapors are pretty cool. I pressume this is down to the distance it has to travel (approx 6-8 inches...

    As far as I can tell its glass but pretty hard to tell can only see a small part of it. It's shiny and approx 1mm thick, so I pressume it to be glass. It looks black in colour, but that's probably just the angle! I looked hard but see no sign of silicone, and as I can't taste anything other than...

    Discontinued FlowerMate V8.0 by Smiss

    To be fair in my defence. It came in a retail box, with all the accessories and instruction manual. It was also sold as 'new' and not a 'preproduction model' or 'beta model?' Mine did have a QC (quality control) sticker on the back of it near the bottom. Since I have not had this glue...

    Sorry it's not a simple attach the photo process and I really can't be bothered to set up a URL. My apologies! Oh dear! Just watched a review on YouTube that was damning of the v8. Mainly due to this glue taste that's been experienced here! But also inconsistent temperatures. I guess I could...

    From what I can see its a glass inner pipe, but I can't tell what the outer piping is made from it doesn't look shiny. Unfortunately it appears to be unremovable (due to the v8 being a sealed unit with no visible screws etc), so it will be hard to clean. Currently it's not been a problem, but...

    Discontinued FlowerMate V8.0 by Smiss

    I got it off ebay, from a helpful guy in Edinburgh and paid £100 plus postage. I had just ordered the v5, and ended up cancelling that and 'up' buying to the v8.0 (same seller). In answer to a previous question: I believe it's partial conduction (the ceramic bowl gets pretty hot) although when...

    Discontinued FlowerMate V8.0 by Smiss

    Well I have one of these. I have now had it a couple of weeks and I must be lucky as I have had no 'glue' taste or smell from my v8.0. I only heated it for about 10 mins before first use. So it took a few goes before it really started to perform. I don't have a great deal of experience with...
