No comment. I'll cry.

My Zephyr Ion, the same one that I've loved for so long, has passed away. It filled one last bag -- with SMOKE -- and hasn't warmed since. If they were a decent company I'd buy another. What is out there that is similar? I'm not too into the whip thing.

I have the extreme q, the valve and bag setup from your zephyr will work with it. You slip the zephyr valve setup onto the nipple the extreme q's hose uses; be careful not to push it too far onto the nipple because it's a bit hard to get back off if you do. It' not a tight fit but doesn't leak until the bag gets real tight.

You couldn't buy another one period, unless you found a reseller that has old stock. Seems like you're not aware that US Customs raided the company and shut them down.
Dear Customers and Zephyr Fans,
We write to inform you of an important matter regarding Zephyr Vaporizers. Recently, questions have been raised by government authorities about the appropriate uses of our product as well as similarly designed products from other manufacturers. Aromatherapy enthusiasts are well aware of the benefits of herbal remedies and the value of extracting the essential oils of herbs through vaporization as compared to ingestion. The Zephyr's patented vaporization system, effective in releasing the flavors and active ingredients in a wide variety of spices and herbs, also lends itself to a variety of culinary applications. And given the myriad toxic substances found in tobacco smoke as a by-product of combustion, the Zephyr Vaporizer provides a beneficial smoke-free approach for tobacco users, one that may also aid in smoking cessation. We take pride in the quality of our product and are committed to ensuring that its manufacture and distribution be in conformity with all applicable federal, state, and local regulations. We are working hard to address the concerns and questions raised by the government about our product. In the interim, and until we are assured that we can continue marketing the Zephyr in full compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, we have voluntarily elected to suspend temporarily operations at Zephyr. We are hopeful that Zephyr will be in a position to resume operations shortly and we thank you for your continued patience and support.
Sincerely,
Zephyr Vaporizers
The herbalAire is, without doubt, the best buy in a dual mode vape. You can get one for about $170 on eBay without worrying about the authorized dealer situation. 3 yr. warranty and outstanding customer service. In my experience the direct draw/whip function is its weak point, but if bag use is your preferred method, you can't beat it IMO.
Dear zephyr, kindly honor your warranty and tell me where to send my vaporizer, which stopped working the second time I used it, for repair. Otherwise the poster you quoted is correct and you are not a decent company. If you want to portray yourself as one act like one and tell us how to get repairs for your faulty product or give our money back.
Shutting down your phones and leaving customers hanging is wrong.
Hundreds of dollars and mine worked once.
Respectfully, an unhappy customer.

Yes I'm aware of that, and I know max didn't write the text from zephyr he copied and pasted it.
My comments are driven by that small glimmer of hope which whispers in the back of my mind "perhaps someone still associated with them will read it and do the right thing."

Yes it is a bummer, if it had worked for some period of time before it died it would be easier to take. Trying to call a number which never got answered and sending emails which probably just disappeared into cyberspace was a drag too.
I bought the extreme q when it became evident something was wrong and it works like a champ. I think the zephyr was just a tad better vapor though and wish I could get it going again to find out
Fixed my post so it doesn't look like I was ragging on max; my apologies max

It is indeed. Looks like the factory Zephyr was using in China is still pumping them out. You can find plenty of them on Alibaba. You just have to take the risk of getting them through customs in the U.S.
Just because the U.S. operations were shut down, I often wonder if they are still operating elsewhere. Zephyr is listed as one of the exhibitors at the Treating Yourself Expo in Toronto at the beginning of June. This may have been booked before they were shut down at the beginning of the year but Zephyr was never removed from the list.

Good to know, but considering that they're under the customs microscope, even if I could send them a unit for warranty repair, I think it be kind of iffy in trying to get the unit back. It would be interesting to see someone try though and report back as long as they don't put themselves in danger of getting busted.
Or contact china for warranty repair --- who knows, maybe they might acknowledge the serial number and cover it under the 1 year time limit.

The warranty paperwork on mine said "2 Year Limited Lifetime" not one year. Seven months of it has been used up with it working only once and that on the first day of purchase. I hope they do get going again so it can get repaired and still have a year left..
The transfer of items from a consumer to a manufacturer for repair sometimes fall under a different set of rules than the original purchase or shipment to the indvidual. For instance... purchase of a firearm requires it go through a dealer who is a Federal Firearms Licensee or FFL Holder and is stricly controlled as to how it ships; sending a firearm for repair from an individual owner to a manufacturer and back to the individual requires no FFL Holder interaction whatsoever and can occur via UPS from and to the owners front door.
Perhaps the same is applicable from individual to vaporizer company for a repair, it would only make sense it would be so as it isn't a purchase..... but who knows; not me.
In any case, I hope the resumption of sales occurs prior to my warranty expiring so I won't be out $$$.
Best of luck to us all, tireless

What's Your Function?
Great news vtac! Mine is still going strong and got quite the workout this past weekend 
i was just referencing the warranty i saw on the china website for the manufacturer (search on www.alibaba.com: Supplier: Changzhou Runhe Tools Co., Ltd.) -- it sure looks like the same machine, although the warranty was not listed when i just checked it now.
