my mother in law is an old deadhead. been toking over 50 years, smoked cigs for most of that, and her lungs were weak to begin with. I've been trying to convert her to vaping for about 8 years, but she's limited by her lung capacity and she doesn't like to fiddle around with devices. I've...

these have been aromatherapy devices / personal heaters all along. Of course the FDA won’t allow you to sell what could be construed as medical devices to deliver a federally controlled substance without approval. This is an old game. Like the supplements industry things could change but I...

I’m not sure if this is still useful feedback, but the boro balls I use in the Elev8r can fall out if I tip the thing over. Hasn’t been an issue for me and I consider it a cost of doing business. I am selfishly hoping for a device that does not compromise performance for anything. Including...

Good thing we all use aromatherapy devices and personal heaters instead of vaporizers

@The Chemist Thanks for the heads up. I haven’t had an incident yet, but I’m paranoid, and I also like to remove the ball after each hit (carb corked), so I usually hold the bong with my left and hold the small ball with my right. I should have mentioned that, but it’s second nature to me so I...

I just pick up the Vapbong and tip it toward me to hit it, like I used to do back in the day with straight tubes. The ball stays put. I still want a bandit too though haha

I have found that if i tamp down the load pretty good, hot spotting is not an issue. And thanks to the wide open airflow, the added restriction from tamping is negligible. Really love this vape. I usually only use it at the end of the day and it never fails to cut through any tolerance I have...

Coil setup is so civilized. You can dial it in exactly how you want it and just leave it on all day/night so it’s ready on demand. I did this with the FP for years and never had a coil or pid fail (knock wood) just do a little planning to set up a dedicated place to leave it so you don’t...

Confession: I have never used a torch on the elev8r :shrug: I would imagine that you’d need a little more time to heat up the balls

VGEZ got balls for sale: https://vgoodiez.com/collections/recently-added/products/3mm-glass-beads-10g-bag-by-vgoodiez

Mine is almost exactly 11” tall

I have a quartz heater filled about halfway with 3mm boro balls, and I just counted and it's 45 balls. this is still below the 3rd spike, and it works really well. I didn't like the flavor with the heater filled all the way so I took a bunch out. 3mm vs 4mm is probably going to make a big...

Long story short, you haven’t tried it with balls :cool: this setup made me realize that glass heaters put out the best quality vapor, which is my highest priority. I’d definitely like to try the herbo. Looks great. but there is something else I’m holding out for :ninja:

try filling it up around 1/3-1/2 full and see how you like that. I like it better. nothing wrong with saying that

When I added balls, I left it at the same temp that I had been running ball-less, and immediately scorched the shit out of my load. It was pretty dramatic. I had to lower the temp by 100*F to get it to behave. I also started by filling it all the way up with balls, which I do not recommend...

yes!! in addition to degrading flavor, hot metal just feels harsh. all glass everything is the way :bowdown:

This vape doesn’t deserve to be lurking on page 3. I was expecting to need to use a slower draw with the coil setup. Turns out that’s old news. Half filled with 3mm boro beads, this thing can absolutely keep up with a brisk draw. In fact it works even better that way because the hot air...

having missed out on the GS, I am in pursuit of the heavy hitting desktop with the purest flavor. I believe this will take the cake. right now this is the only thing stopping me from dropping $$$ on an Herbo Ti :ko:

That is cool! I wish I could reprogram mine to stay on for 5 more minutes haha I also had a miniVAP repaired/upgraded under warranty and the communication was very good and everything went smoothly :clap:

haha ok so I had it right the first time. the reason I recommend the elev8r is that you could turn it on and leave it on and just have it ready whenever you want for an instant micro-hit, killing the load in one draw. so warmup time is largely irrelevant. but it is a potential hazard I...
