    Discontinued Hopper io

    Don't forget about the IO "feature" that reduces the wattage of the heater when it detects a weak battery or cold ambient temperature, and results in the LEDs flashing white. All while HL claims that the IO has more efficient battery usage than the OG. This "feature" has made most of my Hopper...

    Multi-brand Xmax V3Pro vaporizer, convection, on-demand&session.

    I wouldn't say that it hits harder. As others have stated we are not supposed to compare vapes in the vape specific threads. I will say this: I'm not much of a flavor chaser, so I won't weigh in on that aspect of the V3Pro. And to me, "vapor production" and "Clouds" are pretty much...

    Multi-brand Xmax V3Pro vaporizer, convection, on-demand&session.

    At one time I swore by occluding the air holes to get bigger clouds from the V3Pro. I can now achieve very satisfying results by just priming the load with 3-4 cigar puffs and then drawing pretty hard. Either way works well, but I am not occluding the air holes anymore. I use max temp and...

    Discontinued Hopper io

    Yes I am probably touching the body and back end at the same time, with a ring on my finger. This is only happening with my SS iO at the moment. I regularly handle two iO and two OG Hoppers and only the SS iO exhibits this behavior. For the hot back end I suspect weakining batteries. I recently...

    Discontinued Hopper io

    Adding to my battery woes, I am once again experiencing a scorching hot back end with at least one of my OG Hoppers, and my SS iO Hopper is now flashing lights when I touch it (without being clicked on). I have been enjoying the XMax V3Pro. It takes more effort to get it to hit as hard as the...

    Discontinued Hopper io

    In the past few weeks/months I have tossed no fewer than 8 Hopper batteries. They became useless. They will not power the IO for more than one draw, and exhibit similar (poor) performance issues in my OG Hoppers. I think that anyone considering a Hopper purchase should be aware of the potential...

    Multi-brand Xmax V3Pro vaporizer, convection, on-demand&session.

    I ordered 3 different cases from Amazon for my V3Pro. So far I have received two, and here are the results: iDream365(TM) Small Size EVA Carrying Case/Bag/Pouch/Holder for Executive Fountain Pen,Ballpoint Pen,Stylus Touch Pen-Black The V3Pro fits snuggly inside the iDream365 case. It is very...

    XVAPE FOG Pro

    To be honest I didn't find this demonstration very impressive. Not faulting the reviewer, but I didn't see much in the way of cloud production :huh: Is it just my imagination, or does the Fog Pro only have a session mode? If so that changes my impression of this vape, and it definitely means...

    Multi-brand Xmax V3Pro vaporizer, convection, on-demand&session.

    I also purchased a black V3Pro to compliment my Silver Gradient model. I purchased both from VPM, and was very pleased with their service. While I prefer the looks of the Silver Gradient model (especially the blue highlights) the two units seem to perform identically. I can't detect any...

    Multi-brand Xmax V3Pro vaporizer, convection, on-demand&session.

    Yes, priming with "cigar puffs" works with this vape too. I just tried it, without blocking the air holes, and I got tons of vapor and dark brown/black ABV. I generally prefer not to use "cigar puffs" so I'll probably still play around with blocking the air holes. But I think it's a great sign...

    Multi-brand Xmax V3Pro vaporizer, convection, on-demand&session.

    I'm 100% on-demand and 100% max temp. I have the ability to control my draw speed. I've used the V3Pro with and without blocking the air intake holes. I am not dissatisfied with the performance when I don't block the air holes. The vapor is plentiful and the ABV comes out dark brown. When I do...

    Discontinued Hopper io

    I am in a similar place. I've been using and buying Hoppers since 2016. I've purchased a lot of Hoppers, batteries, and accessories. I have some IO Hoppers that I still haven't used. The only difference for me is that I have not had countless RMAs, only a couple. But that's probably because I...

    Multi-brand Xmax V3Pro vaporizer, convection, on-demand&session.

    My biggest complaint about the V3Pro is the timer in on-demand mode. The 30 second timer should start when the device reaches the set temperature, not when you first press the button. It sometimes takes my unit 12 seconds or more to reach 428 on the first draw. That only leaves 18 seconds for...

    Multi-brand Xmax V3Pro vaporizer, convection, on-demand&session.

    I ordered a second V3Pro from VPM. This one will be a black unit. I really like the look of the Silver Gradient model, but I wanted a black one for my second so I have one of each. Looking forward to comparing both. I will report back when I have results to share. I can also recommend VPM...

    Multi-brand Xmax V3Pro vaporizer, convection, on-demand&session.

    Agree that it is tight. I removed and replaced my battery a couple of times today and there is some technique needed to prevent catching the wrapper. Although it may seem counterintuitive, putting pressure directly on the negative contact (button), which has a spring, is not the best way to...

    TinyMight / TM 2

    I received a shipping label to return my first TM on 4/6. I don't recall the exact date that I shipped it, but I got a shipping notice for my replacement unit from TinyMight on 4/22. I consider that a pretty quick turnaround considering I am in USA/California and TinyMight is in Finland.

    Multi-brand Xmax V3Pro vaporizer, convection, on-demand&session.

    In the end I did not have any issues removing the battery without damaging the wrapper. It is tight, but it comes out fine if you're careful. My daily driver has been Grasshoppers for the last few years. I also own/use the VLeaf Go and the TinyMight. I've run two bowls through the V3 Pro -...

    Multi-brand Xmax V3Pro vaporizer, convection, on-demand&session.

    I just received my Silver Gradient model from VPM. Ordered 10/27 and delivered to USA/CA on 11/1. Battery was ~80% charged (4 out of 5 bars). I have it charging now. First thing that I noticed about the battery is that it looks like I can't remove it without tearing the wrapper, so I didn't try...

    Vleaf Go: on-demand convection herb vaporizer!

    I just purchased a second VLeaf Go as a backup. My first one is still working fine. My daily driver has been Grasshoppers for the last few years. I was drawn to the Go by the price and generally favorable comments in this thread. I'm sure it's been discussed before, but for me the performance...

    Multi-brand Xmax V3Pro vaporizer, convection, on-demand&session.

    Wow, this is an impressive demonstration. It clearly took far less than 15 seconds (about 6 seconds by my count) to get to 380, and only a few seconds more (about 8 seconds total) to get to 428. This really put my doubts to rest about heat up time in on-demand mode. That is assuming that the...
