Life Saber (LSV) by Elev8 Vehicles

[Dudeson 1882]

Be very interested to see what you make of them Shadowlink.

I'm very interested in this vape to tide me over until either the Oracle or Cloud make it to the UK but read this thread a couple of times now & cant decide if I should get it or not.

I'm looking for something to compliment the cano as my home unit & provide a stealthy quick hit when I need it at home. I was hoping to take it out & about & use it round other peoples houses or at parties etc. Fed up trying to explain the MFLB or Iolite to people & watching them fail or give up. I've also fancied trying a SSV type vape for a while.

Watching the vid on the 7th floor site it looked perfect. Quick & silent plus sturdy. Can be used with glass I already own & more versatile than standard whip vapes like SSV. But, reading posts here I'm not sure if it sturdy enough for a party situation or with novices.

If its made of glass I'll eventually break it for sure but the glass wand bit looks very fragile & the heating cover bit sounds like it will not last too long. Was hoping the LSV could survive a fall but looks like it cant. Can see me ending up shipping glass bits across the atlantic a lot.

How well does the wand stay in the device as I know for sure that someone will want to wave it around like a light saber?

The problems with the glass & screens seems to have been solved to a degree & now the price of the LSV has come down & the cloud gone up its not that expensive I guess. I like the look of it although I got over star wars a looooong time ago so dont care that it looks like a light saber.

Hmmm help me out someone please

Should I get the LSV?
Should I get a discounted SSV & save 100?
Is there something else that would suit me better?

My preview of the new heater cover and wpa adapter is soon to come, I need a few more sessions to compile my findings.

Dudeson, I would highly suggest the lsv to tide you over until the cloud. I love mine, and as the cloud still looks a bit longer until release, this device with its new changes will be just what you need.

 

[Dudeson 1882]

Thanks Shadowlink. I think I will end up buying it as I cant see anything else that meets my needs like this one.

Also with no definite plans for a UK version Cloud anyway I'm not holding my breath as awesome as it looks.

Well... it's almost been a month since I was promised replacements for the defective HC and WPA, but I still have not seen anything? Hopefully Chris just forgot... but we shall see.

 

[charliedontsurf]

It's also been about a month since I was promised some items from them, and was surprised to find nothing when I came back from vacation. Email time..

Dudeson, wouldn't using an American plug VXC be easy to use anywhere else, as long as you had the proper adapter? I just got done having to juggle a bunch of Euro plugs for my American electronics, no issues to be had.

Dudeson, the wand can get loose.
You don't want people pretending to be jedis with it

It already fell twice from mine without me pretending to be a jedi knight.... (no glass shattered though because it is a minimum sturdy and it fell on the carpet from not more than 1 meter)

The transfer wand is pretty sturdy. I dropped mine about 3 feet by accident onto hardwood floors and it survived.

Also, roundup of the new heater cover and wpa are still coming, sometimes life gets in the way, but will have everything compiled soon. Quick sneak peek, they are much better designed, feel more solid and maybe I just got lucky, but either they have a new glass blower or he/she really stepped up the quality and craftsmanship, they are all perfectly even and symmetrical unlike the originals I got with the unit.

 

[Raf007]

That's some good news ShadowLink12 ! Eventhough I have no pb with my HC and wand.

Thats a very good point. I know absolutely nothing about electronics but I have got other US electrical things to work here so it should work.

You know someone will want to try it.

Good to hear they have sorted out the glass issues but I have decided against the LSV. I've gone for a Supreme & a PA for the MFLB as I think they will complement the Cano better for now.

Also I couldn't find any UK vendors who include the WPA so would have had to have got that shipped over from the US.

Anyone here who currently owns an LSV and usese it using the original bowl/heater cover design. Let me tell you, go straight to 7th floors website and pickup the new short bowl, and the new heater cover, they take this device to the next level. This week I picked up the new Short and Tall bowl, and the new heater cover, i just tried out the short bowl with the new heater cover, and got thick as hell blue vapor hits with the 10 oclock position on the dial.

Visual Impresions of the new design

-Heater Cover
-More Narrow Intake hole, (i think this helps make more concentrated hot air.
-It appears once the air enters, the air path to the bud has gotten wider
-The glass connection to the bowl is much more improved with a loger portion of ground glass. When it fits into the bowl it locks right in, you can tell its now 100% sealed.

-Short/Tall Bowl
-Improved "ice" notches make installing and managing the screen a lot easier and more stable then the previous design. To add a screen mearly pop it through the pinches, and its locked in and ready for you.

-The Short bowl in my opinion is the only way to go if your trying to achieve thick vapor at a lower temperature, and it holds a perfect .2-.35 pack. Again, the instantaneous thick vapor was the first thing i noticed with this bowl. The tall bowl in my opinion would not work as well at lower temperatures, but would be more suited for higher temperature hits, one could claim that its a "party bowl" but in my opinion the LSV works much better with .2-.35 packs once you go beyond that you start to clog up the airpath to the point it effects drag, and how evenly the bud is coked.

Note: The new heater cover came with metal shims, but somehow i never budge those shims when taking on and off my heater cover, I know that this luck is not common with all the posts ive seen with the shims coming off. I gently and firmly twist my heater cover till it comes off, and my shims dont move.

Great improvement 7th floor!

Excellent review! I need to try out the LSV upgrades myself.

 

[davidwu]

Hey guys.

Good news to report. Just got the mail and a package from 7th Floor arrived. Thanks Chris for making this right. Chris sent me a new style WPA and new style HC.

So... while I haven't had a chance to use it yet, here are my initial thoughts.

WPA: NICE. That is the word I can use.... the ice pinches hold the screen and it doesn't look like it will go anywhere! A+ on the design change. Chris sent me the regular sized one and if it works as good as I hope it will, I will probably have to order up a shorty.

HC: Also nice. The outer edge is now ground glass. Before it was smooth. I see that it will make a much tighter connection now. The screen, while there are no ice pinches, holds much tighter than the original one I had. The original you can flip the screen easily (but not a big deal like the WPA or the wand). I like the tighter fit much better, but don't think functionality wise it makes a big difference... just for peace of mind. The hold is much larger, hopefully this will lead to more even vaping in the WPA. The shims that came with the HC hold it much tighter, but before it wasn't loose enough for me to care. The bottom of the HC is blown crooked, so the HC sits crooked in the tube. This isn't a big deal, as there is no functionality loss, but it looks weird. My original sat crooked as well.

So.... I think 7th Floor just went through a big learning process. They seemly sent a beta unit to us early adopters, but now seem to have most of the bugs worked out. It seems to be mostly a tolerances issue. Some WPAs had issue, some apparently didn't.... I can see this in my shorty transfer wand. The original holds the screen fine, the shorty is as bad as the WPA I originally got. The ice pinches should be a standard across the board in these products.

So A+ Chris.... if you can get my shorty wand exchanged, I'll owe you one more beer than I do now!

Hey can anyone say if lsv heater cover would fit dbv ?

 

[mob]

put a LSV w/ lifetime warranty + lifetime 7th floor websites 15% discount,
tamer, and short wand in my shopping chart.
this is direct so i believe it should be the completely updated system w/ wpa.
total = $419.02

that includes the 15% discount for buying the $150 lifetime warranty.
are there and if so would any other promo codes work with the above transaction?

also now with this total i am pretty much in a whole different price range then when i had first started eyeing the LSV and its $259obo ebay price tag. should i still pull the trigger on this or should i look at something else.

wants- clean fat vapor clouds, portable is nice but not major, balloons and single or group style not important.

currently have- volcano, mflb, herb iron.

Trust me when I tell you the LSV is not a purchase worthy of its price tag. Just avoid this vape at all costs. The company, 7th Floor, is a joke, with no idea of what true customer service is.

Truly, you'd be better of with a higher quality, reputable vaporizer like the Vapor Brothers. You'll thank me!

 

[vapoRevolution]

Hello there,

Perhaps your personal experience, but it's exagerated to say that 7th Floor company is a joke as their vaporizers have a great finition and the clouds are awesome. Also a lot of guys here had very good contact with them and we see clearly that they do everything to satisfy the client expectation. After they are looking to make some money like everyone so they're not always perfect.

I have a SSV and LSV and love them, aroma and effect, nothing to say... (and I've tried a lot of vaporizers before like Volcano, Arizer, Herbalaire...)

So in conclusion for me - 7th Floor products rocks

 

[IAmKrazy2]

Kudos to 7th Floor customer service. They did good.

SkyFlower, apparently your not reading the posts in this or any other 7th Floor forum. We are all trying to have constructive discussion around here, and you are just hurling mexi with your post. If you think a VB is a better vape, there is probably a place here for you. If you read this and the SSV forum, you will see that while they may have had issues in the past, they have really been knocking it out of the park with customer service lately. I saw many people complain, and probably for good reason. But 7th Floor reads these posts, and apparently corrected the situation.

I am new to FC but have used it as a great resource for a first purchase, thanks to all who had something constuctive to say. You really helped out.

Hi mob I was in the same boat as you & was sitting there with a big bundle in the checkout ready to pull the trigger. My bundle was LSV, spare HC, shorty wand, party bowl & spare long wand. All that plus expensive shipping to the UK (they wanted $45) put this in a category beyond its worth IMO.

I think the base price is reasonable though. Why dont you get one for $259 & see if you like it before spending over $400 on it? I wouldn't bother with the warranty as $150 is a crazy price for a limited one for what is essentially a pretty simple piece of kit.

I still follow this thread as there is a part of me that wants this vape even though I dont need it & if it came down to SSV price level I'd probably buy one that day. I dont know why UK vendors dont include they WPA though. I thought it must be old stock but they all claim it is the latest version with new HC etc. Hmmmm.

Also noticed they reduced the price of the original vapor tamer (such a lame name ) as they have redesigned it. Its $30 if anyones interested.

 

[charliedontsurf]

That's a big price cut from the old price on the vapor tamer, actually makes it a little tempting.. but the literature doesn't make it sounds great: "We are no longer making this size of the vapor tamer and would like to get rid of what we have left. They have a smaller diameter inside tubing than the large which restricts the air flow more than we like. It still works, but since we have the new Fatty Vapor Tamer, we will be unloading these smaller vapor tamers at cost."

 

[Dudeson 1882]

I know what you mean I was tempted & I dont even own one.

Also have to agree with you about their text. At least they are being honest about it I suppose.

CDS your vape collection is incredible. I like your posts & found them v useful as you've tried so many. What is your favourite DD & what one is your overall favourite?

Also I've meant to ask you for a while why some have stars next to them?

Thanks for the kind words, man. I try to be helpful, although sometimes I just run my mouth and think aloud and type waay too much.

I'm actually trying to thin out that incredible collection quite a bit. The stars actually indicate vapes that are for sale/trade, check the for sale section. I think alot of us are culling the herd in preparation for the next wave of groundbreaking, more expensive vapes, like the VXC and perhaps to a lesser extent the Arizer Solo. You can only use one vape at a time, afterall.

My favorite DD is the Magickwand right now. It hits really nicely with my pieces, provides low temp clouds, is about a 7.8 on the efficiency scale and can be cranked for concentrates, although my new wand does not seem as hot as my old wand. It vies with the Vapocane right now as my favorite. Vapocane can be hot as sin, requires no heat up times, has a nice wide-enough bowl which also provides nice clouds. It's also cheap, and deserves greater popularity on this board and elsewhere.

I'll have an opinion on the new HC for the LSV hopefully within a week. Thanks to Chris at 7th floor for being so awesome, I apparently am also being treated to the same burst of excellent customer service others are reporting.

Everything is nailed there...+2!!
And yes CDS=quality posts, ahah.
We are receiving a bunch of new LSV's with all the stuff, and will report soon about the new glass!

 

[IAmKrazy2]

I have my updated HC and replacment 18mm bowl coming soon. I once or twice a while back questioned 7th Floors customer service, so far with the LSV they have been damn good. Thanks 7th Floor for standing behind your product
