Aromed 4.0
- Thread starter High n Dry
- Start date
This is my second post. I also own the Aeromed 4.0, not because I'm German but I like the idea of the halogen light and the water bowl for extra filtration and extra whip.
Here are the pros: from what I have read on many forums my belief is this is the smoothest vaporizer. The idea that a light is heating the herb seems very efficient.
Extremely smooth, no burn and you can monitor your visible vapor to regulate how much you are taking in. Extremely well regulated heating control.
Cons: rather bulky, glass bowl stem is hard to take out for cleaning after several uses. It seems to stick together with the main water bowl.
Overall I give this my highest recommendation and by nothing else for home baking (vaping).
The magic lunchbox will only be used for quickness and stealth requirements. I'm going to buy a whip for the magic lunchbox to help with the little bit of harshness.
Hope this helps

There's about as many "chicks" posting here as on a NFL forum for Christs sake. This here is mancave territory bub. To a man, his pot, porn and private chill time are sacred. For a chick to come in here and start tearing apart vapes...well..that's just out of bounds.

And we all know; the women will win! 
This vape looks good, and can handle small amounts
I'm leaving hints
all around the house for my christmas gift.
Hey guys,
I'm for the women eventhough I've been in
the cave (garage) for a while. Any ladies want
to vape there they are most definitely welcomed and
appreciated.

Here is a screenshot that shows the internal electronics, its "Guts". I think this units electronics can be made smaller, just like most any electronics can be. A PID controller does a heck of a lot more than this and it is a fraction of the size.
I figured it is safe to post in this thread again
I was going to post this picture this weekend, but the thread became extremely chaotic. I can't help but feel partially responsible since I was the one who initiated the in-depth questioning of this unit. So sorry if I offended anyone. 
P.S. I am not a woman as some have speculated. I guess my Avatar suggested to some that I might be, though I don't know how since the only place I imagine this Avatar for a woman would be a lesbian oriented forum.

I would go so far to say that it is encouraged to have lesbians posting erotic vaporizing videos, in the name of Science of course.lwien said:What? Do you think lesbians are not allowed here?
Stink, no need to apologize. The only person you offended is not here anymore.
I only chose the avatar so I would have something to look at when I proof read my posts. What is better than 2 blond girls in dirndl's kissing? Maybe 3? You know what is another funny claim by the Aromed? The whole claim of the heater being above the bowl.
I can't think of too many desktop whip vaporizers that have bowls that can't be removed during intermissions. Many whip based vaporizers with whips that insert parallel might even be better at keeping heat away from herbs since they don't have a 400 degree radiating light bulb beaming down on them, think 'food heat lamps'. Compare the radiating light bulb of the Aromed to something like the DBV or SSV, these have you could leave the whip in and you would surely have less heat getting to the herbs during breaks.
My theory is the only reason it is so beneficial on the Aromed is because it is such a relative hassle to attach and remove the bowl compared to most vapes, if you have watched the videos, you can see this in action.
Stink jw, what is the link to that video that you got the screenshot from?
Anyway, I'm back, and have been testing this thing more and more. Suggestions:
"My theory is the only reason it is so beneficial [placing the heat source above] on the Aromed is because it is such a relative hassle to attach and remove the bowl compared to most vapes, if you have watched the videos, you can see this in action." - stink
Not that you'll understand stink, but its physics really, gravity. Why have the heat source on the side or bottom? So we can suck more herb into the tube via heat rising, or pull drags through wires and circuits? Come on, lets use common sense before posting more funny claims, lol.
One thing I have done is placed the water filter in a glass with a little rubber suction cup on it. No more fussing with the rubber strap every time I pack a bowl I Highly recommend doing that for existing users.
I also found a plastic clasp that I use to clasp the rubber tubing to the metal gooseneck. This way when I'm vaping with friends, it acts as a safety mechanism should anyone accidentally pull on the tubing and knock the glass pieces around. Other than that, it keeps the tubing from getting any kinks over time.
Another thing I have noticed about the AroMed, which could be considered good or bad, is that I can get hot spots where a little herb will burn more on one side than the other. I don't mind this, because then I can concentrate on a really small amount of herb instead of filling a whole bowl.. like when I'm vaping alone.
I noticed one person said they had a hard time cleaning theirs? Hmm, I found it to be extremely easy to clean with some rubbing alcohol and kosher salt. I don't clean the downstem often, but I do keep the herb chamber clean, and I also use a tiny blusher brush to unclog the screen holes. I'm not a fan of replacing screens.. I enjoy the goo stuck to them.. helps hold the herbs in place.
Another user mentioned adding a percolator. In my opinion, its not really necessary. The amount of drag I get per hit is just right the way it is. Any more resistance might actually be too exhausting on the lungs, since the user is to take longer, slower drags on the AroMed. I'm not sure a percolator would benefit in any way, other than aesthetics.
Overall, I'm still very content with this piece, and I can't think of any vape I'd prefer more at this time.
PS- My soothing tea recipe:
I let the water chamber sit 3 days or roughly 10-15 small bowls.
Desired amount of (Soy) Milk
1 tablespoon Chamomile
1 tablepoon Echinacea
1-3 tablespoons Honey
Vapor water
Dash of Cinnamon
I like to refrigerate the vapor water, and add it last to avoid wasting during the steeping process.
This is my usual tea mix, and man its good in the morning with that subtle added buzz.

Hello vaporists! This is my review of the AroMed 4.0 vaporizer, I have no connection to AroMed.
I've been a vaporist for over a year and used several different products, some very good. Despite going from smoke to vapor, and feeling much better for it, I still had some chest irritation using vaporizers. As much as I enjoy using cannabis, I use it medicinally as well, and even though I do medicate using edibles I really enjoy vaporizing. So recently I went searching for the heathiest vaporizer. My priorities were reliability, efficiency, being digital and accurate, and producing healthy vapor. After several weeks searching and reading reviews I purchased the AroMed 4.0.
Asthetics may be an problem to some people specially if stealth is an issue. AroMed do sell a glass diffuser so it can have a second use. Not the most attractive, but if the units housing is on the floor behind furniture, the glowing diffuser could look quite cool imo, and there's no way anyone would ever think it was a vaporizer, as the glass, whip, and strap can be completely removed and hidden away. Personally, the asthetics was never a problem. I certainly wouldn't want the asthetics altered if it had a negative effect on the function of the unit!
As this was designed as a medical apparatus to be used in hospitals im guessing there were other priorities. The glass parts and whip are completely seperate so can be easily sterilized. The heating element is an energy saving ultraviolet-free halogen light bulb which are easily obtainable and straight forward to fit, and the electronics are so far from the heat source they last forever. All these features are advantages for personal users as well.
When the AroMed arrived I was impressed with the quality. It was obvious this was a high grade product that was built to last. The first difference I noticed to many 'mainstream' vaporizers was the heavy gauge silicon whip and glass mouthpiece, very nice.
I found the AroMed easy to set up, and I didn't have any problems getting decent vapor from its first use. It does have a learning curve though, and will take a little experimenting to get the best from it. Within a few days I'd mastered connecting the bowl to the element, sussed the finer details of the unit, and realised the astounding efficiency!
During the first few days I was getting through more herb than I had previously with my PD. Once I got to grips with the AroMed though I realised it was very efficient and decided to run a test... I got 29 satisfying hits from a piece of resin approximately 0.1g in size, and 24 satisfying hits from a piece of herb approximately the same size, both at 195C / 383F. It turns out this is the most efficient vaporizer i've ever used!
The vapor itself is the cleanest and tastiest i've experienced. I cant think of a better way to enjoy connoisseur herbs, you can really taste the different flavours. I was shocked how nice the vapor was considering i've used many 'high quality' vaporizers before. I think the combination of the heating element used, it being above the herb, the chamber temps being maintained precisely (by processor), the water filtration, and the short vapor path all add to the amazing taste!
Another nice feature with the AroMed is being able to watch the vaporization process happen. Im a visual person, and being able to watch the chamber is awesome. It helps with gauging dosage as well.
The only negatives i've found with the AroMed are minor. The ground joint that connects the water filter to the bowl can sometimes stick. The power button only puts the unit to standby, so a power switch would be nice instead of having to disconnect from the mains.
Anyone looking for a high quality, reliable, efficient, healthy vaporiser, this is definately worth considering. Since using the AroMed the chest irritation has gone and im feeling better than I have in years. Personally, I wouldn't swap the AroMed for any other vaporizer on the market. I rarely give positive reviews but recommend this product 100%. Awesome IMO!

Yeh i've noticed the middle of the chamber can brown off before the edges sometimes, doesn't burn though mate. The ABV from the AroMed is the most uniform i've experienced, and you never get any scorching.
I like cleaning mine every couple of days, only takes a few minutes with some 99.9% ISO. Not a problem cleaning the stem if you use the correct stuff. Im not sure how long that will last though!
That tea sounds nice, might try that.

I have a makeshift solution to the glass on glass fitting "sticking". If you apply bee's wax to the male portion of the ground fitting, below the bowl, it will prevent this from sticking together in the future. I suppose that you could use chapstick, vasoline, etc. I reapply the wax as needed. I have not had any issues with "sticking" since. I hope this helps.
I have had the pleasure of enjoying aromed for over 3 years. No more hacking and coughing and no more black Phlem. I have tried over 10 vapors and this is the best IMO> Recently had a cold and my lungs had no hacking gagging etc that I use to experience before vapping. Recovered in 5 days vs 10-20 before.
It is medicinal in design and looks but who cares when it works so well. I have never charcoaled my herb with the aromed. THe temp control is very good and I am still on the original bulb. The water filter is a plus since it keeps you from inhaling fine grains which could agiatate your lungs.
I have been able to make butter from my remains and get 2 bangs for my $$. I have found that this vape is easy to clean with 99 alcohol and pipe cleaner. You can even get a little oil from the process if you want.
Taste is incredible and with each different variety you get uniquel flavor. I have only had to replace screen due to it shrinking and flipping over when I use a glass ended stirrer I received with a hot box.
I have found if you start with your bud partially crushed and continue to stir after 5 hits and even remove and crush in hand that you get sweet flavor and smoke with each draw. I can get 20 draws from one nice size bud.
You will see with use how you can tweak temp gauge based on dryness of herb. Wetter higher dryer lower.
I have got great taste hits from 350-420 and if you want a good cough the just turn it up.
Also found that you can put small amount or large in bowl and it works great. It is probably better for 1-3 people then for a whole party but I found if you fill bowl up and leave it on folks can just hit it as neccessary without having to load a bowl each time.
I have never had burned herb or popcorn flavor using this device. I have put ice chips in bottle to see how that works and was impressed with cooler vape. Again being able to use the remains for butter and get 2 for price of one is worth vapping all the time.
I use the launch box as my portable vap.
This is the Mercedes Benz of Vapes IMO and worth the money. Only drawback is the glass so be careful not to drop. I wrap stem bowl in a washcloth after use to help protect. in 3 years I broke a stem and a bowl.
My friends who bought volcanoes prefer my aromed over theirs mainly due to the water bottle and more of a bong type feel then a bag. I understand for folks with bad lungs that might not be right for them but I also feel it helps keep lungs working to be able to draw in your hit.
I rate aromed 10 stars and have not found anything worth replacing it with at this time.
