So I've had my Indica for a week now, and it has fulfilled my goal of complimenting my Solo as a more portable and conduction option, and ofcourse it is just gorgeous. I may post a more detailed review later, but for now just a couple questions for the Indica vets on here, and some suggestions for
@Indica Vaporizer on their next model:
First, for those who have been talking about how the bowls last forever, how are you packing it (how much and what method)? On average I usually pour some in, almost to the top, and then put in a spacer, and I seem to get maybe 2 or one and half sessions on one color (blue or green) and then maybe a whole session on purple or red. I think I could be more scientific in my testing though, so maybe I do have that experience too, but the way people were talking I was expecting big vapor output for at least 3 sessions at 3 different temps. I did have to poke out some resin with a toothpick a couple times, but it didn't affect this issue so much (just saved a unproductive session, maybe the vapor path tube needs to be a little wider diameter to combat this issus?).
Similarly with battery life, I have yet to reach an hour 20, usually I get a little over an hour (typically cuts out after one last 10min session, unable to complete the initiation of a new one). So looking at the battery indicator at start up, it seems like I get 3 sessions on white, 3 on green, and then only 1 on red. I usually run my bowls on a lower temp for a session and then a higher temp (sometimes more if I still might have vapor, but sometimes it will stop producing vapor during a session, and I'll still see the session through, for battery tests, but not always, and sometimes I change the temp during a session). Does changing the temp during a session hurt battery life more? Bc I had read other battery tests that were getting an hour 20min all on red, and if I often use temps lower than that (often end on purple even), shouldn't I be seeing at least the hour 20, and probably a little more even?
As for suggestions, aside from the user-replaceable batteries and vape pick storage, there should also be color options, but maybe a cool way to do that would be to work with another company to offer custom paint jobs. So instead of just getting a black or blue one, I can get a cool design or pattern like zippos do, making it more stealth and personalized as well (or maybe some kind of carbon fiber wrap could work? And just sell those).
Another suggestion is to offer some kind of steel bong adapter mouthpiece, since its so easily removable, it seems like a good opportunity to have a 14mm option as well.
Also maybe including a container for ground herbs could be a nice way of adding value, I use a film canister myseld but something like the size of
@Vape Dr. 's vials could be cool since theyve got a narrow mouth too.
Finally I think its important to offer us early adopters some kind of trade-in or something so we too can upgrade to the newer model whenever it becomes available. And maybe offer those of us who missed these supposed upcoming FC coupon codes some kind of rebate (or future purchase coupon) as well, so we don't kick ourselves for not waiting to jump on this great little device.
Thanks to the company and all the FCers who helped make this such a wonderful product!
