Feel like I’m winnin’ when I’m losin’ again
@Gary-Airvape Is there some sort of a hold up on the Labor Day orders, and might they make it out today? I ordered last Saturday.

I have two emails, one confirming the order, the second thanking me for the order. No other Airvape or Apollo emails exist for me. Does it come from an email unassociated with the company?

Trust me, I know all about that! Aaaaaaggggghhhhhhhh. Fun times. It's been my only gripe about this device - well that and the mouthpiece wobbling off
It's not so different from the firefly, but those silicon surrounds make it about 100 x messier.
Still love the thing though, and despite the mess I prefer it to the firefly.

they should notify you when shipped. contact giselle@airvapeusa.com
After fighting with dosing capsules v1 and then not liking v2 caps, I have finally given up on them and found after a lot of experimentation that I can still enjoy the thing even if it’s a mess to empty every time.
My current favorite thing is hooking it up to my desktop bong but then it sits idle for too long. Is there any way to turn off the timer? It drives me nuts. I’ve tried pressing everything, even found the beast mode but nothing for the timer.

I hardly ever touch my ground flower either. I use a scoop. And a debowler and duff jar can be used easily hands free with most high end vapes. Although my favorite vapes let me just blow through them to eject the duff.

beast mode? not in avlp that i know of unless you mean wax mode.
you press power button, 3 times to turn it off or on, anytime you want.
you can change session mode timer from 3 min, 5 min, 10 min. those are the only time settings you can select.
it will turn itself off if it has not been moved or used in 3 min period for safety. you can't change that default action. ooooh well

I think Beast Mode is the SE easter egg mode which unlocks screen color changes I think?

not it's a draw/hit game-- timed events at 3 different heat setting with limited time for each setting. have to take so many draws for a timed period per each 3 timed events

I sent them a note as suggested and immediately got a shipping notice. I have plenty of devices so I was only worried that I had missed something, all good now!
No it’s a weird temp step thing it’s got built in. I think it’a press and hold all three buttons once the device is already on.
Rambling:
The idle timer bugs me even more when I think about a three minute session timer running too, like having it be on for another two minutes, max, is such a waste? Argh that’d drive me nuts. If I had my way, it’d be no idle timer for a three minute session, and a two or three minute one for a ten minute session, with an option for turning it off completely for the desktop bong scenario. Ohhh or have it only idle if there is no movement and no draw detected…

it's a safety issue, they are protecting their ass. i think set at 464f, combustion after 3 minutes, could be a reality though

Got mine in the mail yesterday woo hoo! Started filling caps and playing w/it right off. Feels good in the hand and the pocket, styling cloth helps with cool touch when it gets hot after a couple caps in a row.
Tried beast mode after reading about it here, it runs hot for my tastes, but I got more thoroughly medicated than I ever did on the V3.
Hype over greater flavor was a meh for me, any flavor enhancement comes from having a wider flatter bowl that allows more herb to receive more hot air at once.
The caps hold about double what my v3 caps hold and I can toast one in the ALVPSE (I call her Steamy) almost as quickly, so I'm getting higher per sesh than usual. I think my tolerance is going up a notch and I don't even own a desktop.
Wish list; the tiny led screen is hard to read for my old eyes, not a big deal. I thought about getting an extra battery door to experiment on, I would love to put 3 loaded caps in the battery door (instead of the pick that I don't use) to have extra doses onboard. the caps won't fit over the glass tube un less the casing was a bit thicker.
oh well, 3 happy caps in a glass dab cup works for now.
so far I'm really happy with it and not just because I haven't been this stoned for awhile, it does look and feel elegant, and hits as heavy as I ever need!!

you say."flavor is meh".Got mine in the mail yesterday woo hoo! Started filling caps and playing w/it right off. Feels good in the hand and the pocket, styling cloth helps with cool touch when it gets hot after a couple caps in a row.

holy crap, you are doing something wrong. you are the only one i seen who says this. it is strongest feature. what temp? or the weed is super dry or inferior.
anyway if i felt this way about the unit, i would request a refund.

what I meant was the hyped up Increase in flavor over my v3, wasn't enough to get hyped about, the unit gives great flavor! so does the v3. So far I've only run a few caps of 2 strains at coarse grind, will play with finer grinds and lighter loads as time and my tolerance permits, I did compare with the same herb in both vapes, Steamy is a beast by comparison to v3, but the giant leap in flavor was a small step.

I suggest trying a bowl at a low temp. I used to vape around 370-390F with the AVLP (coarse grind) but then I tried session mode at around 330F and it was much tastier. Prolonged the session and still fully extracted, but increased the number of tasty draws. Most portables don't report accurate temps and I found that as the bowl got warmer from the conduction effects, you could still achieve dark AVB.
Another interesting experiment is trying little nuggets of hand-torn flower but in this case keep the temps higher at around 370-390F. Very nice as well.

yeah, I just did that this morning, I usually burn at 369*f and bump to 396*f to finish off a capsule, on the porch in the sun w/my mug o coffee I started both the alp steamy and a V3 at the same time set to 333*, 3 hit on steamy 2 on v3 due to volume difference, step to 342* 3 on steamy 2 on v3 etc... 369* 396* and 420, steamy wins hands down for flavor at higher temps but v3 holds it's own below 370*. Test done with Ice cearm cake knife cut ( to preserve the terps) medium course, for 1/3 the price the v3 does good out the gate but will never catch steamy for anything except ease and infrequency of cleaning.
p.s. the dose tool works a treat but with the bigger caps my fingers are just as fast.

The capsules are truly a great idea if you are out and about. There is no time but, to just drop a capsule in...when I am home, the herb goes in DIRECTLY into the oven. No capsule. The mess is very minimal for me...I clean after each bowl and keep it clean after each use. It is not a problem for me...sometimes I see some other people's oven and its a HUGE mess and I wonder how the hell did it get like that because I never have those extreme problems. The herb is not ALL OVER THE PLACE...there is mess but, with a brush it goes away in seconds. I also want to say that depending on the temp...my results are different. The lower the temp the flavor is more prevalent. When I bake at 380 I get the most perfect high and flavor. When I bake higher...its mega euphoric...sometimes too much for me. I have to use the cracked pepper to tone it down...I did not realize how the temps come to play...but, now after constant use and adjustments I figured out the best settings for myself. I have found the perfect relationship with the ALP...its familiar to me and easy. I am disabled so, my vape has to be easy to operate. My two cents...

Ok. I don't temp step at all though. I tried coarse grind at 330F session mode and just kept it there. I discovered that the bowl just seems to get hotter and hotter, but in a nice way. Seems to preserve taste for longer. Maybe the convective effects on the bowl itself are cumulative after a while. I don't know but it tastes good.

REVIEW : V2 Dose Caps ad Cleaning/Loading Tool
for 1 day of use, i've been playing with the v2 dose caps under bright light and my magnifier headset and latex gloves.
after studying how to remove and install the lid for 5 mins, it took 5 mins to do the first one cap, next for 3 mins, and the other 4, about 2 min each.
i used the loading tool .
i used the load tool to just load oven in less than 30sec..
btw- i soon discovered you need both thumb nails (using both hands) to remove lids from bottom, the fastest way, without gloves.
one nail in the side of cap of the lid and other on gaped/notched side on bottom cap section. pull apart.
the loading tool is good but needs to be a larger diameter so it's easier to hold. i feel a hack thought coming on. lol i have bad hands, crippled.
just insert in to the ground weed by pushing to load and put in cap/oven then push the silver knob down to release.
those dose caps after vaporizing are very hot hot, do not handle, just turn avlp and it falls-out.
the cleaning bush is very effective in nooks and corners of the avlp using 91% iso with paper or cloth towels for the drippings. the tip screw handle on the brush needs to be thicker too. hard to hold when wet.
rating dose caps- 8.5 out of 10.
rating load/clean tool- 8.9 out of 10.
if your a micro dose vaporist, these 2 items are a must have tools.
if your not a micro dose user, the dose/clean tool is a great helper
both items help keep you unit cleaner and are a good welcomed addtion to the avlp.

You can use the short side of the stir tool to replace your thumbnail and let leverage be your friend ;-{》===

What's the current thinking for:
1) the best cooling stem/mouthpiece alternative to the standard mouthpiece? I'd like to try something with terp-balls if that's even an option
2) the best tool to carry the caps in? the cardboard packages they come in don't cut it
Thanks!!

Feel like I’m winnin’ when I’m losin’ again
Mine arrived today! Handsome little unit, especially the SE. If they had just put a discount out and not the bundle, I don’t think I would have gotten the loading tool. I’m glad they put it in the bundle, it’s a very functional unit. It makes a nice little puck, I’ve been running half sessions @365°, open and flip the puck over, then finish. Has been working great so far. Will try the caps on a day trip sometime.
