  1. Surf Monkey

    Discontinued The Grasshopper

    I waited over a year for mine. I've owned it for months now and have used it about 10 times. It strikes me more as a proof of concept than a fully mature device. There are too many areas that need improvement (in MY use cases) for me to make it a daily driver, and between my Mighty and DaVinci...

    The Lotus Vaporizer

    Grind your Lotus loads and always keep the flame moving. Don't wait for a red spot. You'll combust that way. The Lotus is the ultimate manual transmission vape. It takes a while to get a hang of it.

    Same unit. Same serial.

    The DAVINCI IQ

    Huh. If it's an RMA-able issue I'm inclined to send it back and get a good one. Right? Three other guys in my band. I've taken the Mighty to practice a dozen times and with the exception of the very first time, they just don't want to hit it. Then I bring the IQ and every one of them is all...

    The DAVINCI IQ

    Got my Mighty back form an RMA so here's some thoughts on the IQ from a solid two weeks of use: I am in LOVE with this thing. At first I struggled a bit with the tight draw, but it wasn't too big of a curve for me. The IQ is dead simple to use. The only major variable is pack density. You have...

    The Mighty/Mighty+ by Storz & Bickel

    Got my Mighty back yesterday. Very fast service. Total turn time was five business days from the day I mailed it. The unit was separating at the top by the bowl. Mine was bought in September of last year, so it has the latest hardware already. They fixed the housing, did a deep clean on it...

    My Mighty will be back on Wednesday. It'll be interesting to see if they replace it with the newer version. Fingers crossed too.

    The DAVINCI IQ

    Still waiting on my Mighty RMA. Meanwhile... Got the OEM 10mm -> 14mm glass adapter. Excellent accessory and highly recomended. It's a very straight forward connection, but one nice feature is that they include a small section of clear glass between the two frosted sections so that you can see...

    Those are what I use too.

    The DAVINCI IQ

    I'm beginning to feel this way too. It took me a bit to realize that the IQ needs to start at a higher temp than the Mighty, but on reflection that makes sense given the IQ is a conduction vape. Also pertinent is the fact that the IQ works best if you let it idle for a minute or so after it hits...

    The DAVINCI IQ

    No spacers in use here, but they're on my "buy and try" list. The chamber is large.

    The DAVINCI IQ

    There's a curve for sure. I'm on my second day with it and there's no doubt that load sizing is critical. It can be under or over loaded pretty easily. After loading and unloading it about a dozen times now I feel like I'm zeroing in on it. Too packed = extra tight draw. Not packed enough =...

    The DAVINCI IQ

    Got mine today. I'm on the second load, so here are some impressions: I got the copper/bronze/champagne... whatever color that is. It's subtle. I like it. Practically every other vape I have is black so this is a nice change. The unit itself is smaller and heavier than I expected it to be...

    Excellent info! If it works well at that low of a temp then my GF should be able to get some use out of this baby too...

    That grinder looks swell.

    The DAVINCI IQ

    This is very interesting to me. Low temp vaping on a Mighty is one of my favorite ways to consume. The Mighty can produce decent clouds as low as 340. I'm curious how low the IQ can go and still produce acceptable vapor. My typical session: (Note: if my GF is joining me she only hits it at...

    The DAVINCI IQ

    My Mighty has to go in for an RMA and I decided to get one of these as a backup during the repair process. I've dabbled with conduction vapes quite a bit. Had an original Iolite, a Magic Flight, an original PAX, an Arizer Air... none of them have been as satisfying as my convection vapes. The...

    The Mighty/Mighty+ by Storz & Bickel

    1) holy cow I love my Mighty. This is my primary daily driver. I have nothing bad to say about it at all, except... 2) it's heading back for an RMA. The body started to separate at the top by the bowl. Looks like the adhesive failed? I don't recall dropping it and I'm gentle when twisting the...

    The Mighty/Mighty+ by Storz & Bickel

    Can confirm. Run it at 330? Awesome flavor! Run it at 375? Awesome clouds! This is exactly what I was hoping my original Iolite would be. Loving it.
