I've been wrapping a stiff braided wire in torn strips of alcohol wipes and pushing it through and twisting. Seems to do the job.
yea the cleaning on this vape reminds me of the pax, its apain to clean, i did the same thing with a qtip and iso but luckily mines didn't get stuck. Wish there was consideration for the cleaning when designing this one
I'm not sure about all your questions but for the mouthpiece as someone suggested hold the vape by the mouthpiece over something soft like a pillow or your mattress. If it holds together you have the new one.
Can answer all of your questions, but I am pretty sure that is not the correct charger or batteries. The AVLP take an 18650 battery and I believe you will need a charger like these if you do not want to charge internally.
new one on the right with a raise bump
Anker makes a nice home wireless charger and ALP well, they actually sell a real nice wireless portable one...on their website. I use that one. Looks nice too.
respectfully, if you scroll back several pages, all this has been discussed in detailI had my first session with the AVLP last night. I was really surprised how quickly it heat up (on-demand) and how good the vapor tasted! Very impressed. I also wasn't sure on temps so ended up doing 420F, something in the middle of what I've seen recommended online. Managed to get 3 very smooth hits and almost sure I can squeeze out a good few more from the same load! The thing that stood out the most was how cool the vapor was, haven't experienced that before!
I can see the complaints about loading and clean-up however. Loading the chamber is a bit icky and I made a mess pinching flower into it (I was able to easily pour stuff into my old vape, MFLB, from the palm of my hand for example). I haven't attempted clean-up yet but it definitely seems like it could get annoying unfortunately. I think I will need to buy some of those S&B brushes that have been recommended in here.
I am now thinking about getting a 15mm screen to help with the clean up to make things a bit easier as it seems difficult and quite expensive getting the dosing capsules in the UK .
I am STILL very confused on how the screens work however as I've never even heard of them before! Am I correct in thinking that these basically go directly over the loading chamber to prevent any flower from falling out and spreading around? I've asked someone else the same question but still left confused. I photoshopped a pic below in the hopes that someone can confirm! I can't help but feel the screen would still slide around like this though.
If anyone has any other tips for a complete beginnner/casual it would be much appreciated! I only ever plan to use this thing in on-demand mode fwiw
Thanks guys
step 1: pour the herbs into the oven from a container or with a makeshift paper guide. keeps mess to a minimum.I had my first session with the AVLP last night.

step 1: pour the herbs into the oven from a container or with a makeshift paper guide.
step 2: don't overfill, don't pack tight. convection biased heater works best with a fluffy load.
step 3: domed screen and slightly diminished load insures even extraction, no stirring required.
cool. it's better using 15mm flat stainless steel screen, may i add, remove the little oval screen near oven and unscrew micro disc to half way. the clouds will be much larger. and to you get a abv puck after vaping, you pat the back of unit, lightly. open in upside down position, -puck city lolstep 1: pour the herbs into the oven from a container or with a makeshift paper guide. keeps mess to a minimum.

uk customs is the reason , probably. at any rate, that's a tough one to swallow, i feel for ya.

I already wondered if this vape would need a leather jacket. What do you think users?
The Pax 2 and 3?.... those are the easiest vapes in the world to clean. I have no experience w/ the OG Pax so maybe that's the one you're referring to...
I've been waiting over a month also, i just emailed them.
