    MiniVAP Vaporizer

    Could not disagree more. I have zero brand loyalty to any manufacturer. And I'm not simply justifying the purchase - I have paid for other more expensive units that I find to be inferior to the MV in terms of performance. For example, my Crafty was more expensive than the MV. I think I paid...

    MiniVAP Vaporizer

    just got off the phone with Vapornation. My return was approved and I will receive a replacement. I was told that they are still waiting on the new shipment from Hermes, which, they have been promised, will not suffer from the heating issues that unfortunately plagued many units this past...

    Crafty/Crafty+ by Storz & Bickel

    I've only been running the fine screen for a couple days, so maybe mine will get clogged too? I think a cleaning every few weeks is acceptable...

    Crafty/Crafty+ by Storz & Bickel

    really loving the ease of use with the Crafty. it's just so quick and convenient. heats up quickly and cleans up super easy as well. I just invert the heater while it's still hot and brush it out. brush off the bottom of the cooling unit, and I'm done. finding myself using it more and more...

    Speculation about how vapour clouds form

    good point that I hadn't thought of, I agree 100%. the Herbie and MV actually made me change the way I look at ABV, but that is indeed another thread. no, I think you're right, and what you are saying is in line with the info provided by S&B seems there are a few good reasons to heat the bowl

    Speculation about how vapour clouds form

    This is completely false. Pure convection can provide massive clouds. According to S&B, the bowl heats up so the vapor is instantly available. This is where the conduction and radiation come into play. If the load is cold when you start your draw you may have to wait a few seconds for the...

    Crafty/Crafty+ by Storz & Bickel

    yes, I do practice jiu-jitsu and have enjoyed practicing judo in the past. reverse ude-garami / aka the "kimura" is actually a shoulder lock ;) back on topic, here's some crafty convection. I don't usually use it like this but it works great:

    Crafty/Crafty+ by Storz & Bickel

    I can confirm that when I use the crafty in full convection mode using a miniVAP cone and basket module, the ABV comes out lighter than when I use the device as designed. The taste is different as well. I believe there is significant conduction and thermal radiation going on when you use it as...

    The Mighty/Mighty+ by Storz & Bickel

    I agree with you here. it's noticeable if you were expecting near 100% convection

    The Mighty/Mighty+ by Storz & Bickel

    I only got my Crafty a few days ago but I've found that if I take off the cooling unit and use it with a miniVAP cone and basket module, I can definitely get almost 100% convection as the heat source is taken away from the herb at the end of each hit. the herb definitely does not get as dark...

    MiniVAP Vaporizer

    I know and I debated on whether or not to post this because I certainly do not want to be a fear monger. but ultimately this forum is about learning and sharing information, not protecting the reputation of specific products/vendors/manufacturer. this is still my favorite vape to date but I...

    MiniVAP Vaporizer

    my replacement MV has failed after about two months of use, which is about 2x as long as it took the first one to fail. I have strange luck. I've managed to remain stoic about the whole thing because the experience is so good when this thing works that I am resolved to just stay the course...

    MiniVAP Vaporizer

    this seems to be the curse of the miniVAP? "vape signature" like no other? other vapes don't hit the spot anymore? I wonder if the cooling unit on the craft/mighty is catching a substantial amount of actives in the form of condensation

    Found suspected plastic in flowers from legal medical delivery service; etiquette?

    you found two small bits of plastic at the bottom of an ounce... how do you know they didn't fall into the bag/jar/whatever after you took possession of it? how long has it taken you to vape the ounce? how many times do you think you have opened the bag/jar/whatever up? just advocatin'...

    MiniVAP Vaporizer

    I may have spoken too soon. After a great weekend of seeing old friends and using the miniVAP fairly heavily, direct draw style with no water, I am again appreciating the value of water. also, I can confirm that you don't need to use the lid to get good vapor on the first hit. apparently...

    Congress To Undermine Legal Marijuana In Washington DC

    this is very depressing on a number of levels. you have to blame both parties for using riders on the congressional budget to play the modern all-or-nothing version of political hardball that seems to be the norm these days. IMO our system of representative democracy has already failed...

    MiniVAP Vaporizer

    miniVAP maintains good flavor throughout the session better than any other device I have used (many). Much better. This is probably it's most unique quality

    Discontinued VapeXhale Cloud EVO

    Don't fret, they should be able to tell if the broken bamboo was your fault or not. If it's determined to be not your fault you won't be charged while you are under warranty

    MiniVAP Vaporizer

    I have a solution: send me your silver miniVAP. I will use a y-joint to combine it with my black one @Roger D style, and post the vid on FC. problem solved.
