    The Tempest by Mad Heaters & Phatpiggie

    My Tempest arrived yesterday and I have a few questions: - The instructions show "open, bypass, and closed" without much explanation. I think open is obvious - the holes line up. Closed is also obvious, I think, but "Bypass" took me a minute; this is the indented side of the stem facing the...

    The Tempest by Mad Heaters & Phatpiggie

    I picked up the Wand for use with my dynavap from Vgoodiez back in August, it included the "Dynavap Adapter Kit", a glass cup surrounded by silicone fins. It looks like that has been replaced with a 3d printed looking thing. My question is, will that Dynavap Adapter work with the Tempest, or do...

    The Tempest by Mad Heaters & Phatpiggie

    They have blue ones in stock, just grabbed one. Funny since I have spent the past week or two churning through this thread, and occasionally, wistfully perusing the MH site, trying to will them into offering a Wait/Notify List function. I was wondering if I should set a calendar reminder for...

    Discontinued Zion vaporizer

    Should be my last post here - just wanted to wrap up: I've said it a million times, but What A Long, Strange Trip it has been. Getting on 3 years! I still don't have a Zion - never will, and that is ok. I actually told RBT I no longer wanted one because even if repaired, I will not trust the...

    Discontinued Zion vaporizer

    Ryan did reach out to me, so thanks for any facilitation there. He's making good on everything. There is still room for me to become an advocate :).

    Discontinued Zion vaporizer

    I've used the warrantee form, I've used the address on the site, and also replied directly to past emails from him. Also I certainly hope I am not "trolling for a lifetime". I pre-ordered this thing quite early on after glowing reports - through a comedy of errors (which I feel I was pretty...

    Discontinued Zion vaporizer

    I still haven't heard a peep, despite sending more mail asking what's up. Super-bummed since this is actually souring me on crowdfunding in general - not just the Zion/RBT. I'm very happy that so many of you "z-crew" have had so much fun with this thing, but I have had nothing but disappointment...

    Discontinued Zion vaporizer

    Never got a reply to email nor the warrantee form, so I sent my defective unit in with a letter. The newsletter that just came out expressing the business trouble is... troubling. I wish Ryan well, but no matter how you slice it, I am out a couple hundred bucks and a couple years of waiting. I...

    Best cartridges for distillate

    In terms of usage, my pens last so long because I don't use them often. I'm usually vaping at home, so I use more dedicated device and/or flowers. I hit the pen sometimes if I need a touch right before bed, and maybe once or twice a week I take it while walking the dog (or like tonight - to...

    Best cartridges for distillate

    The Drizzle looks like it COULD be what I am looking for, but would anyone be able to verify: 1) It can essentially take what is intended for pen-based cart refills, such as "C02 oil Tankers" and "100% raw unrefined cannabis flower oil" which my legal-state retail shops sell 2) The high rates...

    Discontinued Zion vaporizer

    aaaand no response from RBT. I've been going through this for literally years. Luckily I have plenty of alternatives already but it sure feels shitty to have paid for this thing so long ago and to still not have it functioning properly. In short: - Funded it in Aug '15 - Waited over 2 years...

    Humboldt Vape Tech Sai Atomizer with Titanium Cup

    Have one of these on order and can't wait. Also wondering why it is not more common around here.

    Discontinued Zion vaporizer

    Yep, it was already sent in for this issue. The good news is that I now never travel with batteries in place as a result, which I know is a good practice for any unit but how many of us actually abide by that? I just did on a 3 hour drive before this happened and am quite glad I took the...

    Discontinued Zion vaporizer

    My Zion has the "won't turn off" bug again. Let it sit for about 15 minutes and picked it up, ouch!

    Discontinued Zion vaporizer

    The top panel (above the batteries) suddenly (while sitting untouched on my desk!) fell off my zion. I'm not remotely considering sending it back in for a repair, that takes forever and will be sent to the wrong address... so I screwed it into place using some slot-head brass screws. I have to...
