Gotcha... thanks for the explanation @stickstones and @barnardbarnard. What's strange is, when I took out the screen once before, I didn't see a second ring, but this was when my unit still had glass. Haven't looked since the glass was replaced with teflon.

Okay... now I'm totally confused lol. Forgive my ignorance, but what is this "lower sleeve"/second ring? Is it underneath the screen at the bottom of the chamber? Indeed. I think I got the idea from you, among others.

Like I already said, it's normal. At least, mine's the same way. The herb chamber is a little shallower on the new models. My glass sleeve sat flush with the chamber opening, but the new teflon sleeve sticks up a mm or so. I think this may be why the large basket was redesigned slightly...

That's normal. What do you mean by the smaller teflon ring? Is that from the decarb kit or something? Have you tried it on pink? I find that's roughly equivalent to how hot green used to be. No bad smells on pink. The blinking thing is normal. It seems to be how the unit knows to reset the...

Really curious to see how the Plenty coil works out! I'll bet you need an adapter though. Just eyeballing pics online, it looks pretty wide/thick. You might even be able to slide a short length of flexicone tube into the coil.

Email Hermes at sales@minivap.com. I'll bet you can get a teflon-core model in Europe, too. My experience was the opposite. Here's how I rank them from strongest to weakest flavor: 1. Teflon-core with old heater 2. Teflon-core with new heater 3. Glass-core with new heater I can get full...

Another improvement on using the small basket as a cap on the herb chamber: I realized it works just as well if I use the small basket connected to the Flexicone connected to the top. The basket/flexicone fits like a cork. Plus I don't have to handle the hot screen -- it just comes off with the...

Ladies and gentlemen... the VAP is back! My MiniVAP returned from Hermes with the glass core swapped out for teflon and further updated firmware installed. I eagerly fired it up and followed my usual practice of filling the basket and attaching it to the flexicone plus, which I run through the...

Precisely my experience, too.

The music from my batch of Granddaddy Purple was so sweet I had to play a second encore before bedtime lol!

I'm working on a long (and positive!) review of my updated replacement unit. In the meantime, I wanted to share a quick insight I had about the Herbie whip. Personally, I find the length a little cumbersome. So I decided to coil the whip up like a French horn and tie it with a velcro cord tie. A...

@Michel, I can't disagree with most of your specific criticisms of the MiniVAP or Hermes... but I have to say... it's a little ironic to see someone who owns a Crafty or Mighty complaining about design and build quality issues. I mean, I'm super happy with my Crafty, but reading some of the...

This was my experience, too. I've tried it this way, too (small basket connected to flexicone+, without the cooling unit). I get big hits, but actually prefer the taste with the stock setup (plus a cut screen to tamp down the material).

Yikes... that's unacceptable. It sounds to me like something has gone very wrong. You should have received an email with tracking information the day it shipped. And no way it should have taken this long for your MiniVAP to reach you. I don't think you would be out of line to demand they either...

Woo hoo! My MiniVAP is on its way back from Spain with a teflon core and new firmware installed! I have to take my hat off to Hermes here. Alfredo and Jorge went beyond the call of duty for me. I can say from experience now, be polite and patient, and they will take care of you. As an aside...

IIRC, you have one of the newer models, so yours should heat up more quickly. With the new heater technology, once the light stops blinking, you're good to go.

@Michel, as others have noted, it sounds like your MiniVAP is faulty. But one thing you didn't mention in your post was how long you let the MiniVAP heat up before you use it. I assume you've tried allowing it to heat up 15 minutes or more before using it?

Well, that's frustrating. Many people, myself included, have had the same problem and received replacements without any runaround (though not necessarily from Vapefiend). Did VF confirm what @I.b.vaping said about not restocking? Also, did you already send in the device to VF? If not, I would...

For people using the Herbie whips, is this the correct one? https://www.vapornation.com/herbalizer-whip-system.html Also, for people using the Arizer Elbow screens, are these "dome screens" the correct kind? http://www.vapornation.com/arizer-screen-pack.html

If you read through the last few months of posts, you'll see it's a known issue that a number of people have experienced. You should be able to exchange it for another one no problem.
