The Trippy Stix

now that i just sit and think about it, im wondering how this thing works, just has a heating element that gets insanely hot, vaporizes for a few seconds then turns into an e-pipe. Id love to be proven wrong tho, and hope this thing works out great. cause we all know its a little more difficult than just hot air + metal screen mouthpiece with wax on it.

BTW anyone notice all the siszyurp/purple drank? in the video :)

Lol yes the bottles on the table, I would have loved to seen them load the herb on the table not that "girl scout cookie" whatever. The vapor looks almost identical to that of smoking a marlboro IMO. Looks a lot like the AR. The website doesn't go into great detail about build materials, air path, or heating element. Personally I don't know why the mouth piece has to be a "trippy tip" but I do agree with the other member on the naming and marketing is aimed toward the youth and kinda makes me stry away.

It's sooooo good that they were smoking a blunt at the same time in the video :lol:

If something sounds too good to be true.... We know where the leading edge portable vaporiser market is right now, and it's not there with this size/capacity technology yet and probably won't be for at least another couple of years IMO.

It was good for a laugh. Not sure why local rappers are getting into the vape scene though.

Probably Juicy J fans at that, lol.

*EDIT- Didn't notice the blunt first time around. Who thought that would be a good idea? And I'm pretty sure their "lean" is OTC cough syrup. Which makes me giggle.

@VaporBoxed, your avatar should say vape researcher/explorer or something over it!

Lol ill consider it.

I think this vape is just like a hot nail. You vape what you want in it but i think it would just burn herbs. Who knows though? We will see soon enough.

Sessnet, Did you recieve a shipping confirmation yet?

I got the shipping confirm. What's weird is the only shipping option is an express service for $10...not complaining, as long as I get it - express.

I already set myself up for 0 expectations from this - considering what I saw from the AR. Like WatTyler said - I don't expect this type of technology to be here for a couple of years.

Other than that - I can always blindly hope that it turns out decent! Willing to be the sacrificial lamb or guinea pig - call me crazy!

I would shave my nuts for a chunk of that girl scout cookie however....

Go forth ye pioneers of THee Trippy Stix, bring forth news of it's powers!!! :D Seriously, I would like to know what's up as well, but I have bought 2 vapes and 1 new piece of glass this month, so I gotta be a little mo conservative... :uhoh:

In the San Francisco Bay Area, that's not even a little unusual. Trust me on this. If you really want some of that 'cook' (GSC) you're gonna have to offer something better......

Perhaps offering your grooming services?

For myself, I'll pay cash if it's OK with you?

"The world's first no cartridge vaporizer"

This may be decent. It may be great. But the statement above is ridiculous unless you're just talking about e-cig type vapes.

They don't supply much info on it, other than 'you can vape what you choose'. "insert what you are vaporizing" doesn't even restrict it to liquids. :/

Great Scott!
Just asked for confirmation that it is concentrates only. I really hope it does herbs. but it seems nothing that works THIS well and is a similar designed portable does herb lol.

They definitely need to get some more specific info. I just emailed to see if you can vape herbs or just concentrates.

I lol'd pretty hard at the "first no cartridge" but it is obvious to me that they mean e-cig style...but still they should say it. I just had a funny vision of loading carts into DBV and wondering why it doesn't taste good.

You just ruined at least a week because now I'm going to be walking around singing "you trippy mang" laughing my ass off. :D

I have to admit this kind of shit isn't what I'd like to see to promote a vape, but to be fair it is brilliant marketing and in the end not related to the quality of the vape at all. I would do some more research on this and be very interested in it if it works with finely powdered herbs. Maybe one of you early adopters feel brave and will test for us :)

It's obvious the makers of "The Trippy Stix" have discovered their target market smoking blunts and listening to rap music in their promotional video. They spent more time explaining their slang than the product itself.

Who's the lucky guinea pig for this product? :lol:

Ok so I guess I bought a "trippy stix" and didnt know it. Just picked it up at a dispensary in Santa Rosa, Ca. Mines not marked as a trippy stix, I guess it wasn't rebranded cause it's just a joye ego-t. Mine came with a nitro extracted hash. There was a half gram loaded in it which I was told was about 200 hits. It's for concentrates only I would think because it uses an atomizer and they are not supposed to dry burn. The dispensary I went had preloaded tips and said that the tips that came with it are not refillable and had to be bought from them, obviously this isn't the though. There was another tip you could get which was like a load as you go but it wasn't as efficient from what the guy said but provided larger hits. I only picked it up about two days ago so far it works well. The taste is a bit metally because of the atomizing chamber, but the guy said that after about a gram the concentrate seals it out and it tastes really good. About 3 hits gets you feeling pretty medicated. It's super stealth, doesn't smell much from what I have seen so far. i hit next to a buddy in my truck with the windows up and he didnt even notice. The tip I used was pure hash no VG or PG. Still gettin used to it but so far I really like it. Just bein able to sit there and medicate in bumper to bumper traffic and not have any worries was worth the investment.

Where did you get it at? Organicann? I live in 'Rosa, may have to go take a look just for fun

I got it at Sonoma medicinal herbs. They are down the street from organicann, they (Sonoma herbs) actually had the double pen omicron set there for 50$ :o but the ego (trippy stix what ever lol) was 150$ double pen set, one tip and a case. I asked why the Omicron's were so cheap when they retail for 120 he said they were returned from patients. After grilling the dude about the ego for like an hr cause I had never seen one on FC I picked it up. Largely for the stealh factor. But at the price he had for the omicron I may pick it up too haha. On another note I checked out the you tube video and mine has the "trippy tip" or what joye just calls a tank filled with the hash. As inspiration from the video I threw a lil chunk of super melt in their popped the hash tip on and was blowin huge clouds out.

"The taste is a bit metally because of the atomizing chamber, but the guy said that after about a gram the concentrate seals it out and it tastes really good. "

please be careful. if this is an ego standard atomizer (http://joyetech.com/product/details.php?gno=11), it will have a little "upside down U" of metal that heats up under the plastic cap. It is made to vaporize liquid and work with high viscosity liquids like propylene glycol or vegetable glycerin...If there is a metallic taste it is basically burning dry and may NOT be that good for your overall health. They are made to work with thin liquids, not gummier things that would clog its wicking material. These atomizers usually need to be replaced about every 20-45 days, and I think a light bulb analogy best describes their function and lifespan...but THEY WILL BURN UP if not wet enough.

I am concerned about the metallic taste for your health, as it is a common sign of metal fatigue or overheating of the atomizer coils fiberglass wicking. It's a scorched, metallic burnt flavor that is very common when new ecig users get started. Gotta coach the proper balance of ENOUGH liquid, heat, and AIRFLOW to keep these things from tasting scorched. But hitting it and "working through" a scorched taste sounds kinda dangerous...I would welcome some pics of your devices inner chamber workings so the forum can all peruse and get to the bottom of what makes this any different from a standard joyetech ego-t atomizer...

I'm really hoping this device can offer a design improvement to an existing e-cig attachment ..how cool would it be if they invented a great atomizer chamber that would stealthily fit on all of those existing 6 hour ego batteries...my fear for safety is it is just popping herbs or concentrates onto an existing ego-t atomizer coil. Attys cost about 8-14 bucks each or so to replace depending on size, but they aren't designed to work dry or clogged... that could lead to some abbreviated lifespan and scorched resin and coil issues..yowch!
more pics of the insides please!

I ll see if I can post a pic today ir something but my computer is down. It just has a spike that protrudes into the the tank. I assume the spike is the atomizer.

the "spiked" version of the ego atomizer is known as the "eGo-T Atomizer"...it is the same as above but has a thin metal plate with two air slits on either side. A spike protrudes from the center of this plate, and its hollow core opens directly onto the little metal coil of metal and fiberglass wicking...

The "T" in ego-T stands for TANK....this atomizer is designed to hold a thick plastic tank full of Propylene Glycol (PG) or Vegetable Glycerin(VG)...PG and VG are the base of all e-cig style juices. It is usually about like a karo syrup in consistency and is colorless with a slightly sweet or vanilla scent.

Anything thicker or gummier probably wont flow from the tank properly, or will gum up or close up the air slits so it gets tough to get airflow....lack of liquid or airflow leads to overheating, dryness or "DRATTY!" in your atomizer. It's an altogether unpleasant burnt or metallic flavor.

If you have the plastic tanks with a "hole" in the bottom (and not just a sleeve that is open ended) you have everything needed to enjoy your new vapor cigar. Order some pg/vg juice with or without some nicotine, fill up the tank properly, and snap it onto that spike. Each breath should draw a drop of liquid down onto that atomizer coil and 'steam" it off of the coil when you hit the button. Welcome to the really tasty and satisfying world of E-cig users!...Lots of great flavors like blueberry, tobacco, and tons of random flavors like fruit stripe gum or cinnamon redhots await...If the atty is scorched, or dead or questionable, just get a new replacement ego-t atty and a replacement tanks for less than 20 bucks...juice is around a dollar a ml at most, and 1ml of juice should fill a tank and provide about 4 hours of puffing.

FYI, the device is a knockoff or clone of the Joyetech eGo-T. Nothing works as well as a real Joyetech in my opinion. Hopefully the atomizer is of a unique design that just externally mimics the design of an ego-T atty. I will hold final judgement of course until more info and PICTURES are released as well as useage videos from the manufacturer. (ahem) Just thought it important to clear up WHAT an eGo-T atomizer for e-cigarettes was...

hate sounding pessimistic...I only voice caution with ALL new devices...Some may hate for trying to bring a little SCIENCE and examination into the process, but hopefully we can all add to the information pool before too many people (retailers, wholesalers, AND customers.) invest heavily into unproven tech...I'm really an optimist for these devices, and hope everyone can contribute with their own videos and info in the quest for the perfect device for each individuals style.

I just happen to deal with e-cigs all day and recognize a standard atty for one when I see one...more videos please! I aint doing no more on here!

Ok so today I popped out the tank and noticed none of the hash was really at the bottom of the tank. So I warmed the pen up against my truck vent. Melted all the concentrate down into the tank and now the metal taste is gone and it's hitting much quicker. Buddy also remarked that he could smell what it was this time but that was right next to me in the truck with the windows rolled up. I dont know if the trippy stix is a knock off ego-t or rebranded but i am pretty sure mines a real ego-t and not a fake. Anyway thanks for the input vapor spot it's working much better now that I know it was dry hitting.

You should post some pictures of the inside of the chamber/atomizer, inquiring minds want to know.

can you describe the consistency of the liquid in the tank? was it full of active liquid when you bought the kit? And was the liquid from the dispensary or included INSIDE the kit?
