Discontinued Elevape SV

[Mr Mellish]

Last week my ESV was like a desktop loads of vapor this week not so good i'm sure it has a mind of its own.

Interesting. Mine has "tamed its flame" as well. Pretty sure it isn't a dirty sensor and I haven't touched the coil.

Looks like the new Indica O2 could be an upgrade of the Elevape. Looking forward to see what they have come up with.

 

[PPN]

It's a cooperation, Indica & Ipuff collaborates to make the O²!

Can't wait to get it in my hands!

 

[namasteIII]

I think these two working together could make a dank vaporizer, excited to see how it turns out. I could use some instant on convection in my life, I'm hopping this could be an answer, either this or the small zion that's ment to come out later.

Will definitely be keeping an eye on this. A more refined elevape would be sweet.

Indica 02 looks amazing. Can't find much info on it other than its coming out in 2016. This may be something else to look at and add to the list if it offers customizable heat settings.

I hope they make the 8-second cutoff adjustable in the O2. As someone who likes longer tokes, the cutoff is a hassle. I know you can stop drawing and start up again for another 8 seconds, but it's just not the same as an uninterrupted draw.

This may have been mentioned already, but to anyone with a mouthpiece that does not have a snug fit I recommend taking out the o ring and putting in a layer of floss. After doing this it is a tight fit and the airflow improves greatly. You just might have to deal with a cosmic string sticking out of your vape though. My o ring sealed at a certain point, but if pushed back or moved forward the seal will be lost.

Before I can feel my airflow would taper off and now that it's air tight I'm getting some very nice hits. You can really feel the difference and I can draw slower now. It's also easier to keep a consistent draw.

I'm also using a screen that is the same size as the bolt screen. It just fit on and its grabbing the sides. I don't have any screens big enough to cover the sides too, so the last "bottle cap" I had covered 2/3 or a half of the airpath and that would get clogged. I like the airpath sides being more open, but will probably get dirty quicker.



I could see blinking three different colored lights for battery life, and blue tooth to be able to connect it to a phone for the o2. Maybe something about the coil for a more consistent heating element. It works nicely and delivers great hits, but once I change the coil it's ground zero again.

Crafty's mouthpiece o rings are perfect too.

Well that's balls. Vapor nation has a coupon with 1 day left. Can get this vape for $279 which is epic. One down side is I live in Canada and the shipping they want is $46.

No Canadian retailers sell this vaporizer with a decent shipping price?

hi guys hope youve all had good holidays.

can i just ask if anyone has ever run their esv down to dead so you have the flashing red light, then put it on to charge and it wont charge???

ive used the small wall charger i normally use and also plugged it in to my pc. nothing

the app and the update program arnt picking it up. its like bricked? no yellow light showing charging either.

anyone had this before, did you bring it back to life or was it raise with joe scenario

any help would be great thanks

Yes, it's been discussed several times. Leave it plugged in. I has to 'trickle' enough charge into the battery to wake up the processor so it can light the light (or respond to the app).

Depending on how far you've gone over the line that can be a few minutes or several hours.

Have faith, ignore the lights for now.

I wanted this esv so bad, I payed $72usd shipping cost from vapor nation for a esv, stir attachment, rebuild kit about 1 month ago.
And I've just payed $32usd shipping cost for a spare cap and some coils from rede vapes to Australia. I must be crazy

Dude really? God damn!!! Yeah man. I ain't down to pay $483.00 CDN for a vape. Plus shipping. And who how's the duty. I can get a Crafty for under that with free shipping from Toronto.

 

[various127]

Damn if anyone is looking for an elevape I saw it on vape-smart for $215usd with the code iamback.

 

[Hoey420]

@ginolicious, lucky that I did not pay any duty for thed esv + extra(touch wood). Yeah, it's cyber sale or something with 30% off so I payed $480aud shipped.

Today I payed $73aud for a spare cap and some coils that Joe threw in for free, shipped so $553aud all up for an esv+rebuild kit+stir attachment+spare top cap (to do vape dr's topcap mod), I think it's not too bad.

I would not have an esv without that 30% off from vapornation

Wow! I have to check that out.

From here more like a learned man who knows what he wants and how to get it. Certainly not like any of the crazies in my group sessions........

Enjoy your ESV! Thanks for the smile.

Me again.... So last night left the esv on charge for a few hours and still no yellow charge light. So took it off charge and went to sleep. Just woke up and tried it again and boom we have a yellow charge light. So im guessing we are back in business. Im not gonna run it that low again i was scared i bricked it. Soon as we can get battery status lights and or the app will make managing this a lot easier. Anyone thinking of getting an esv i would say do it but be prepared for a learning curve and some tinkering. But its totally worth it. Good luck

Great news, thanks for passing the good word. Charge it well, New Year's is coming........

I had something odd occur last night; After charging my unit, and hitting a bowl or two, I reloaded with fresh bud. Alas, when next I toked, the red light went out after about one second. Now, mind you, I was spending the night at my sister's (I knew I wouldn't want to drive after partying), so this is the only Vape in the house. If it's not working, it's a near-disaster. After several tries, getting the same non-result, I gave up and (gasp!) shared a joint!

This morning, I pulled out the ol' ESV, and gave it another try. Surprise, it's working again! After 2-3 hits, I charged it up fully, and it's continuing to work. However, I'm a little concerned that it'll fail at an inopportune time. Does anybody know what might be the cause?

EDIT: I should mention that the board was replaced recently in this unit, due to a nasty accident.

From here it sounds like you ran it flat and it recovered a bit later, just enough for a couple of hits? I assume the app showed it fully discharged and it took the full time to charge? 2 or 3 hits is a very small percentage of the total. It's not uncommon for batteries to recover a bit after hard runs with time and temperature change.

I suspect it's fine. If you have a benchmark test to compare to it might be easy to determine. I strongly suspect you didn't do a baseline test (there can't be many of us around.....). I log this in actual charging current (not time). I have two units, the older one (probably not like yours) takes 977mAh to get under .1 Amp. It charges initially at .5 Amps, so will take a bit over 2 hours to read close to full on the app. My later unit (over 1000 S/N) charges faster, 1.05 Amps, to start. From '10 flashes' (dead) it gets to .1 Amp charging current (still charging slowly but basically 'full' on the app) after 1098mAh, a little over an hour.

I'd expect yours to take a bit over an hour to recharge?

What you're saying sounds logical. Still, it's odd that it would have been fully discharged after only a bowl or two, as I usually run 4-5 before recharging. It'll be interesting to see what happens now. I've run two bowls thus far.

Yes, I think it takes a little over an hour to recharge. Hard to keep track of such details, ya know what I mean?

EDIT: Trying to finish my third bowl, and it's dead again. That's a significant decline in performance. Unless someone knows of a fix, I'll contact Joe for his help.

 

[vapen00b]

Strange... When was the last time you cleaned your unit? Maybe it's sensor is all dirty and your lid screen clogged up, which results in bad performance where it's almost impossible to get or keep the lights on?
