Yeah I've talked to multiple people in the states that will massively undercut that price tag with a custom lip wrapped beaker. Actually sourcing product is quite easy, what do you think these guys pay per pipe? Talk to a glass blower. If you want a brand name Mathematix have beakers for like...

Not sure those prices are quality. I like a basic beaker but clear glass and a baked on label should be much cheaper than 120 or 200 USD. Seems like yet another generic offering in a saturated market that isn't listing anything noteworthy besides their philosophy. If you think that deserves...

Heard a few reports of large or swolen cells now. Possibly just a different supplier getting the spec wrong or different. Hopefully the cells aren't actually swelling - that is not a good sign and with the previous batch being recalled, it's concerning. Definitely take precautions with...

Yeah most 18650 chargers should work, so long as you can adjust the terminals to fit the smaller GH batteries That's pretty bad! Did you let them know? Scratches too, that's rough. Not a good sign that things are still hit and miss with QC. No excuses left after all these years and the same...

I thought that was interesting too. I'll have to brave the terrible audio and have another listen, but he was saying something about how metal heaters typically heat the air in a way where the heat is retained after the herb chamber, ie. There's so much turbulence and heat exchange that the air...

you can always fit a Ti mouthpiece negating any potential material differences. I'm not convinced there's any true or meaningful difference considering all variables, and these things probably still perform a bit between any individual model. I'm going to trade my broken legacy in for an SS io...

There's always the option of a t break, then the normal stuff works quite well. The hopper isn't the pinnacle, but it's a sizeable false peak. In the portable sector, it really is slim pickings for proper potency and ease of use, with actual portability. I like the dynavap and the StemPod, but...

With 4 (working?) legacy hoppers, getting a new io is probably further from necessary than normal. Being that is never truly necessary, it really comes down to how easy it is to part with the money. The benefits are increased airflow, instant readiness and an increase in power efficiency...

Excellent! It is far superior using GHBs for on the go usage, for sure. And with the slot, it's pretty easy to switch over - Really happy how that came to fruition :) That's a fantastic collection you've got going on there, and the Escher print is really nice too It reminded me of this...

I always had a bit of trouble with it, the dial was hard to turn and got a bit stuck a couple of times, and ended up partially popping apart twice. Both times I managed to catch it so it didn't completely disassemble, but needed to be clicked back together. I only used the 18650 sled several...

I don't know if it's normal, but it seems fairly common and is indicative of a power transmission issue. The heat my back-end got to whilst using the 18650 was extreme, literally blistering hot. I don't know exactly why, but it went from normal usage using an 18650 to some time later, being...

That's a pain :( Hope you can get it sorted out. HL finally got back to me today, took a few back and forths to get my io registered, and now they are sending out a replacement back-end. io warranties seem more similar to the good old days, not sure how they will go with the legacies. I...

Hot back-end with the 18650 battery sled is definitely something to be cautious about. I was using mine last night, and I left it engaged for some short-ish time (a little while, less than an hour but who knows). When I went to use it, I got burnt by the back-end. The button was extremely hot...

Yeah that is a great option for cooling , 10mm tapered glass works well as a mouthpiece too. It will make huge hits super smoooth

Fair enough. Good luck with the RMA, hope it's a fast turn around. Pity about the slotted adapter too, mine goes on the io better than my other hoppers, just lucky I guess. I'm sure whenever MaxVapor reappears he can help you out there, but the io also requires another power supply. The one I'm...

That's annoying. How does it interface with the power adapter assembly? Since using that my io back end has become much smoother to use and hasn't had an issue, where as before I got the occasional issue requiring multiple clicks which I can replicate by partially removing the DC jack from the...

I've seen the power on/off symptom a few times - it was happening most often when I was using the MaxPower adapter with a DC jack that didn't properly fit it. It might be caused by poor power connections or increased resistance. It could alternatively be caused by the mechanism, but I would...

That's true and something I pointed out to them when they asked for website proofreading before release. Maybe there's batches of all variations out there. Mine does seem to do something like 180-230, I'm away from home and using the legacy now and T1 130°C is wildly far from what my io does

If the io temp range is 180-230 then it is effectively a legacy unit with temps 3.5-6

Some legacies were indeed unicorns. I also have one on my account since 2016 that I've never heard back about. I agree with the bounds of spectrum describing the legacy units, and I have a small suspicion such a thing exists again with the io. My HT that I was using, just had a beaker of io...
