    Multi-brand Xmax V2 Vaporizer (also Atmos Astra)

    Giberian, your mouth piece insert, is it ceramic? Not a safety issue, but mine is metal. Be interested trying the ceramic. 100 and 1 % comparison for performance. Which runs cooler, ie more pleasurable, not safer. I think that I am clear enough so should be ok to post i think. Also, the piece...

    FlowerMate Vapormax V/V5.0/V5.0S/V5 Pro

    Give 20 people the same equipment, it will surprise me if they all did and used the same techniques. Personal choice is subjective. Quoted advice is sound if you cant try before you buy. I have the V5.0s and pro and use both randomly as i fancy. They just have different charachtors. How long is...

    Discontinued Flowermate VT1.0

    Dissapointing vape all round. Poor cook, only half way, great for lower temps and stuff like lemon balm but............ Good build n feel, but very "gassy". So now go look at xmax 2 thread, changable batteries to avoid frustration at running out at that critical moment! Suckus interuptus...

    Multi-brand Xmax V2 Vaporizer (also Atmos Astra)

    Indeed. Thanks for the explanation :) Not lazy just dealing with unusual circumstances so damn busy :) Could be a flux thing, sounds like what i have seen, good question. Solder is lead and gives off flux fumes, this was dangerous, and now "safe" solder is supposedly what we should expect. What...

    Totally agree, apart from alveo WHAT! No offence but what is that? I have worked in electronics for many years inmany aspects, Circuit boards, soldering, wiring, insulation, transformers even military aircraft had bits from my hands :) Not at all being elitist but, have seen many different...

    Bugger, just watched above gassing vid. Remember folks. Burn offs are the safe way! I suppose the makers wont actually say it because it implies it is possibly unsafe. But is worth it for peace of mind.

    Multi-brand Xmax V2 Vaporizer (also Atmos Astra)

    Mine came today from HGHonline on ebay in UK £39.99 shipped. FAST and really nice people in my experience so far. I know I should burn off but my time was limited and my excitement great so figure it out and load it from the box. Small load to try. My comparison is to a flowermate V5 s. No burn...

    FlowerMate Vapormax V/V5.0/V5.0S/V5 Pro

    The V5.0s to my mind jury still out on the mini. Good tool, and good starting point with vapes that do just that.

    FlowerMate Vapormax V/V5.0/V5.0S/V5 Pro

    I cant speak for the 5 but the s and pro have different bottoms in the oven, not the screen, the bottom ceramic plug. As it is the only difference in the air path i can see, this seems to be why the pro has a more restricted flow than the s.

    FlowerMate Vapormax V/V5.0/V5.0S/V5 Pro

    True, but compared to the abuse my body has taken, much much better than combustion.

    FlowerMate Vapormax V/V5.0/V5.0S/V5 Pro

    On the mini front, I just ordered a Smiss (flowermate) VT1.0 pre release model off ebay. Seems similarly specced but is round, micro usb charger and has more heat settings. 10 settings from 330f to 420f (165c to 215c)

    FlowerMate Vapormax V/V5.0/V5.0S/V5 Pro

    Through a whip or bubbler that's fine, but be careful. Particulates inhaled,whilst not being toxic, can lodge in the lungs or airways causing infection. I gave up tobacco and smoking last year after I had an infection that hospitalised me. On the plus side I was so ill it made nicotine...

    FlowerMate Vapormax V/V5.0/V5.0S/V5 Pro

    I like them both equally really now. They are different in character is the thing. My good lady took possession of my first "s" and loves it. Todays revelation for me has been putting a 10mm gauze screen on top of my load, not packed down just resting at the top of the ceramic. The draw and...
