    Homemade Vaporizers

    Yep, that's the one I cited in my first post here. Made by the guy that now makes VapMan (a personal favorite that's powered by a small Butane torch). IMO, VM is worth considering......a very fine vape indeed. It's not really hand powered, you tie it to something solid (like a door knob) and...

    Arizer ArGo

    Me, too.... If I'm not going to use it for a while I usually cap the stem to keep the smell in and insects and such out. If it comes to more serious protection, these standard 1 by 2 inch tube caps do a much better job I think. A 'worst case' (stem first) fall onto the deck even if the cover...

    Multi-brand HEALTHY RIPS FURY

    Howdy! You may have put it off for a while, but a most impressive first post. Perhaps not best first post of the year, but surely a top contender. I think you've summed it up excellently, thanks. I hope you get a chance to visit again soon, I suspect you'll have some more worth listening to...

    Multi-brand HEALTHY RIPS FURY

    In a broad sense, I'd say no, no waste (loss of potency) in real terms. No THC is destroyed at idle, it simply 'recycles', evaporating in one place and condensing again in a slightly cooler place? No vapor escapes (for practical purposes). Taste might suffer a little, but not potency? When...

    Homemade Vaporizers

    Understood, but we're talking an average Joe using his, not a trained athlete under ideal conditions? IIRC guys casually touring on flat ground (not racing) average a small fraction of the 400 Watts you cite? And that's using 'the best' muscles available for an hour or so? Human powered...

    Homemade Vaporizers

    First off, howdy! Welcome to the Forum. Lots of good folks around, as you'll no doubt find. Fun idea, one that's come up a few times. I think you'll come up shy on power. I've tried two of the 'usb chargers', not easy to make it to 500 mA, let alone hold it. A couple Watts? IIRC a healthy...

    Multi-brand HEALTHY RIPS FURY

    If you had one you'd know the ArGo is about as fast. Both are about a minute to solid vapor, although the display on F2 is faster (since it reads heater element, not load, temperature?). Not enough to make an issue of IMO. Having used both, I just don't see a lot of difference. Either will...

    Multi-brand HEALTHY RIPS FURY

    OK, here's my understanding on these guys. First off, they are Lithium based cells, same chemistry and limitations at Li-ions with a few small differences. They just use an almost solid electrolyte rather than the flammable, toxic, liquid one in common Li-ions that works under pressure. So...

    Multi-brand HEALTHY RIPS FURY

    I have both, but hesitate to make such a subjective call for you. Both fit all 3 of those requirements more or less equally IMO. Durable is always a big question with new to the market vapes. Arizer has a history of excellent vapes with Solo/Air so would probably make a good vape? Then...

    Then I'm afraid it time to send it in? Perhaps some part of that 'sealed air path' has shifted? Can you blow air in the input vent on the bottom? OF

    Multi-brand HEALTHY RIPS FURY

    What do you see looking down into the bottom of the bowl, are the holes blocked mechanically? I just checked on mine, which is working well, all the holes are open and you can see a flat surface below them clearly with good light. As I expected, no light makes it through all the stuff on the...

    Flowermate V5Nano by Smiss

    Good observation. The chances of 3 lame units is 'a universe' of consistent good results is pretty small....... Normally technique or strain would be suspect, but I doubt that here. Perhaps the first unit was hotter than normal??? That is expectations might be what's really different...

    Multi-brand HEALTHY RIPS FURY

    It has more or less the same heat to dissipate through a smaller (surface) package. It makes sense it would get hotter to the touch? I would not worry about back to back sessions, I sure don't. I strongly suspect the 4 minutes is intended to give more sessions with the very limited total...

    Multi-brand HEALTHY RIPS FURY

    Since they sold all the first batch to existing customers, they have none to send to dealers? As yet nobody but them has ever had them, and they are out. Another (hopefully bigger) batch is due later this month. No need to check there daily, the news is sure to make it to this forum 'at the...

    Multi-brand HEALTHY RIPS FURY

    Yup, that would be my guess as well. Perhaps from a very fine grind and packing it in enough to force some down the holes? I like the 'compressed air' idea (good place to test that airpath isolation claim.....). One thing sure, if it's been slowly degrading it's likely jammed in 'good and...

    It can really only jam up in two places, the MP or the oven. An easy test will tell you which: Does the MP draw well when not on the unit? OF

    Arizer Solo II

    And do it inverted and very carefully. Any solvent that makes it down the vents it gone forever, but any contamination that might be with it will now stick deep inside where it to 'is forever' as the ISO evaporates over time. IMO 'burnt on' deposits are not going to yield to ISO. I once...

    Arizer Solo II

    Don't let them scare you off, follow you're instincts on this one. Persistence, Lad, persistence wins the day....... "A man with a Solo II is happier than a man without one". I think it was Confucius that said that? Or maybe @ataxian........ OF

    Er, you might want to consult the rules (bottom right corner on the page): "Public discussions of staff decisions are not permitted on the site. If you have any concerns or queries relating to a staff decision please take it up in private with a staff member." Not that I'm trying to be some...

    Discontinued ThermoVape

    Not directly, but the thermocore itself has a standard 510 base and would fit most mods. You need VW I think, at least 20 Watts. A proper mod with solid VW mode will 'take care of the battery voltage issues. LV or HV units both work this way. But you also need a bowl cover and MP which you'd...
