Bummer indeed. I suspect you're in a bit deeper than you expect. If your unit is old enough the pan is captive in the body. That is to say the legs are installed 'in situ'. That is one at a time from below with it in place. It's trapped and won't come out (or more importantly new one go in)...

No. Most do, but not all. The F2 MP is too short to latch, but dosing caps and F2 stems that insert into the oven will work with EDGE. And you get a MP with EDGE that works instead. The stuff that comes with EDGE of course works fine (and has more capacity than the stems from F2 that are...

I'm glad you're enjoying your VM, it's a great vape for sure. Not only effective but deceptive in it's simple appearance and charming at the same time. Rene (the maker) is a rare combination of Scientist/Engineer and craftsman. Appropriate he comes from the land of fine watches. He...

It depends on how you define it I think. The EDGE uses SS for the 'element' (the part that gets hot from the current and heats everything else) not the Nichrome (a guess) in F2. Lots of folks object to this material (although happily use it to toast bread or run their hair dryer), but from a...

Not that I can 'see' for sure. Nor could I detect any difference with 'A/B testing' (similarly configured vapes, one in each hand, hitting alternately). This was both with dosing capsules (with 2:1 loads of herb and bubble hash......a personal favorite) and 'barefoot' (loading the bowl with...

My money's on technique. Nothing has changed with VM, sorry to say it must be you? The stuff you did might 'clean up muddy taste' but isn't going to block normal operation unless they are really severe. No, I don't think a new center section would make it work better today than it would have...

I'm not sure I follow you. But if you put a load in and 'forget it' (don't hit it, but let it time out), the herb taste will be different but it'll still be potent afterwards. The THC doesn't get destroyed, or escape, for the most part. Back in the Purple Days experience, many of us...

Thanks. Good information. The key is, I think, "That hasn't changed". That is you still get the same capacity, the 'battery' (really a cell....) is up to spec. basically. Charging goes in several steps. First you get full current, or rather what the controller thinks is maximum, say a bit...

How you cook your meal is secondary to cooking it? Keeping the junk out of your one and only body is a smart move for sure. The very idea behind vaping over blazing. Well OK, it saves money and smells better and all but the big thing is better health and longer life? You are absolutely...

I just use a tester personally. I actually have two chargers with this function (fast or normal test) built in. Some Nitecore chargers have this function, some don't. Another way is to charge it up and do a controlled 'run down'. I use maximum temperature with no load (stem or hitting)...

I could be I guess, but that seems too early. Less than 200 cycles? Should be closer to 300, then again it's till working..... So you use it every day for a few minutes and charge every night? Meaning it's constantly fully charged or almost fully charged? Kinda tough on the battery. The...

Yup, all around. I think you broke the code....... How many 'hits per session' is pretty subjective. Most hit until satisfied? Some of us restart such vapes when the 5 minutes (4 with F2) expire if we're not done. From cold it takes maybe 2 minutes to reach full production then 2 or 3 hit a...

Yep, 'everyone' is? Only natural, it's what they've been told (and want to believe since they 'know' convection is superior somehow). From a Thermodynamics POV vapor is made by heat conducted into the load, not by superheated air. For convection to be a factor the air has to be heated above...

Efficiency, definitely. As you said 'nicely brown through'. Hard to ask for more than that? As you suggest, it's definitely a session vape by design. Being conduction heat can only enter to load (to make vapor) so fast. Sipping gives the thickest hits (least cold air diluting the vapor) and...

I dispose of them when their (tested) capacity drops 10 or 15%. They decline from there fairly quickly. I completely discharge them then put them in the battery recycling pickup. In general they don't lose efficiency. MaH in is what you can get out. Electron for electron....it's chemical...

Thanks for the update/good word. See what clean living will get you? OF

For sure they can be defective/fail on their own. Here, that same charger didn't kill a second one? For sure don't use misshapen cells, even if they still fit. Dangerous ground. I think it's probably random, not related to being 'first issue'. The cell at the heart of it is no doubt a...

I agree completely in the general case. Which is while I appreciate the efforts I keep a salt shaker handy in case I need more than a grain of salt....... It's completely normal for personal opinions to creep in to such 'reviews'. They filter the information through that, probably not...

A true bummer indeed. Cruel as it is to say, lucky you're in Amsterdam...... In most of the allegedly civilized world you'd be SOL. Once again, 'saved by the backup' as well. Pity so many of the new guys ignore this detail, some fraction of them are bound for serious grief down the road by...

The 'target voltage' used can definitely effect lifespan. Generally, if you stop 10% shorter, you DOUBLE the useful life (measured in 'cycles'). But you have 10% less 'minutes per charge'. The urge, quite naturally, is for makers to push it as far as they can. Big numbers (in terms of run...
