    I agree on the headwinds. The delays in the charger and the case suggest (to me — pure conjecture) a cash flow issue. I can’t believe the design or the implementation of the design are that complex.

    Thanks! That’s a great idea that I missed. Guess I’ll be digging through my vape graveyard for screens! Feeling stupid right now.

    Yes, when I said "jacking up" that was actually an all purpose term that included turning up the heat and trying the boost. I only tried the boost from 4-5 (but also took the temp setting up to 8 without boosting), because I was afraid of combusting.

    Oh, it produces good vapor but the ABV is still green when I’m out of vapor. I tried jacking up the heat but that didn’t seem to help.

    Sorry, I don't have the option to edit at this point. My experience has been that every maiden voyage with a vape is like that incredible first kiss...all that excitement and promise! In this regard, the Apollo did not disappoint. It provided a rapid and effortless buzz that hit relatively hard...

    Finally took possession of my Apollo. It arrived quickly but I sent it to a friend's and today was my first chance to grab it. It's a beautiful looking device and looks very well constructed. However, I am absolutely astonished at the size of the thing. I probably didn't pay close enough...

    Help! Visiting California Today -- Where are there walk-ins?

    Hey @buckhakeesah, It's the only place I'm aware of but it is super convenient to LAX. Good staff and an interesting selection. Seemed a little pricey but I thought the same thing in Seattle. Taxes means more expensive... If it were me, I'd go there just to check it out. Once you get north of...

    To Any Scotch or Bourbon drinkers.....

    We’ve been trying the Jameson Caskmates. The IPA is good but the Stout is smoother. We tried the Joseph Magnus because a shop owner told me it was Pappy without the hype. It was still $90 but couldn’t touch Pappy. Why did I believe him? We also tried the Knob Creek Single Barrel Reserve on...

    Any serious beer drinkers in forum?

    Epic has good stuff. If I had to rate, I’d say: Big Bad Baptista is good. Big Bad Baptist is better. Triple Barrel Big Bad Baptist is very good.

    Lucifer's by Latitude is good and the barrel aged version is even better. Their standout for me is the Red Beard's. And if you like coffee, the Founder's Sumatra Brown is quite good.

    Any serious beer drinkers in forum?

    Sounds like you're in an area where you can also get Dark Horse Barrel Aged Plead the Fifth stout. Worth a try. In my opinion it beats KBS (and last year's Goose Island Bourbon County). This actually surprised me, since I like Dark Horse but I've never felt like they had a real standout.

    Discontinued Ghost MV1

    Based on my experience, they will make good as soon as they can. They were very generous with their replacement unit for me and they shipped the unit prior to receiving my "faulty" unit.

    For what it's worth, I fill the crucible loosely and have never stirred. Here is a shot of my typical ABV. There is no green anywhere in the remnants.

    Discontinued Ghost MV1

    I'm not passing judgement on either MV1; I'm merely making an observation that his clouds at 385 seem similar to mine on A1 (338F according to the app) and pales compared to A2 (365F) or A3 (392F). I do kind of wonder what firmware he was on when he did this. Additionally, the entire comparison...

    He ran the MV1 at 385F. With the default temps, A3 is 392, so he was closer to A3 while getting vapor closer to what I get on A1 (don’t have it handy and I don’t recall the default temp for A1 but it was considerably lower than 385). Does that make more sense?

    Discontinued Ghost MV1

    I feel like I get that amount of MV1 vapor he's showing on A1 and at 385F, he's much closer to A3 than A1 (for what it's worth...). Certainly get more than that on A3.

    Nah, I’m probably just uptight...don’t want to have to miss out on the FW5.

    Won’t there be an odor issue with all that exposed material?

    Firewood Vaporizer

    I am considering taking the FW3 and FW4 on a trip with the family (always a risky proposition, in my case). Giving both loaded vapes the sniff test, I realized that the FW4 was fine but the FW3 was definitely going to stink up my backpack. This led to me to dig through the vape graveyard. I...
