Getting close to my 86. FWIW after discovering I've only had the thing for 77 days, it seems like I've had it way longer than I was waiting on USPS, even though that was a serious drag, I am getting much more serious drags now and it's great. I hope for your own sake you don't beat my record...

If the io is running cool, try some different inhale speeds and techniques. A heat exchanger such as the one in the hopper will perform best with a very slow inhale speed to begin with, then ramping up the inhale speed and immediately slowing it down before then going at full rate will give...

It's a monster. Temps from 180-230 this time around, so every notch is good for cannabis I figure temp 3.4 is the equivilant to the old temp 5, but legacy units temps weren't exactly consistent

Great to hear @PPN Are you powering up the io or legacy? My cheapy eBay power supply came in, and it sort of powers the io (supply is rated at 12V10A, but sometimes the io won't engage. The MW PS I have is flawless with the io, obviously delivering the necessary power on demand without a...

It probably has to do with the battery sled not having the appropriate contact on the positive end. They might have assembled a bunch and now need to replace that component, which is a fiddly process. I actually like having to bridge the connection as I can simply store batteries in the sled...

Seems like the SS PFE takes longer to heat up which makes it better for direct usage

Does the io work when it is stuck on? Or is it not heating up too? Sounds like the clicker could be busted. There was some talk about the legacy back-end getting stuck off because of a loose pin (?) And I think the recommendation was to smack it down against a piece of wood so it would reseat...

Brilliant :tup: That would be amazing to use. Simultaneous vaping is very much next level

I chose Ti because of the better binned heaters, thought it could lead to a longer lifespan. I am leaning towards trading my busted Ti legacy in to swap for the SS io. I don't even know why, but it seems like a nice idea. My original plan was to have moved it on, but it broke while still...

Can confirm the Mean Well LSR-150-12 powers the io. It's probably better to get a more mainstream PSU, laptop charger style. The LSR series are project/industrial supplies and have exposed mains power, so something to consider. There are some really neat 3D printed models out there with...

Nice review @YetAnotherUsername I think the biggest downside to the io is how easy and satisfying it is to use. Especially with a power adapter, it is just too easy. I held no restraint and have built up a solid tolerance in the time I've had mine, which was no problem because it was easy to...

I didn't realise til now but that first one you linked is the same one that muunch tried with his io, it didn't work Get a higher amperage model from the brand that was working for you at 12V5A rating, that would be the best bet I guess (though it might actually be identical apart from the...

It's not the most noticeable sound, high pitch. Plugged into 240V AC, so that also might make a difference Music easily blocks it out, so it's not terrible but I couldn't live with it. It's so nice using the mains adapter though, got some massive legacy clouds tonight. Can't wait to use it with...

it has terminals rather than cables or plugs, it will replace everything up to the DC jack in the existing mains powered set up - I'll still use the blue adapter the hopper cable plugs into, once I've added wires to the PSU it will just plug together. One will be a permanent desktop supply and...

yeah at 12V5A and with lossage through the step down transformer, you will be pushing that brick beyond it's rating in order to power the io. Nice that it at least works, but a pity it doesn't give full power, or seem to. A bit like with the 18650 sled, you do get more power with a fresh...

Great so somehow you get a different model brick instead of the noisy pos I got. I didn't want or need one that can't power the io or that requires replacement cables, just a waste. I'm waiting on a couple of 150W mean well supplies which has about doubled the price of the kit

Did you ramp up the voltage?

did you ever complete the purchase and choose the part options? It was a 40/55 purchase depending on the material choice of the power adapter enclosure. I'm really liking the blue SLA and look forward to getting it working with the io eventually

I bought a similar looking cheapy off eBay last night, might get it later this week. On the fence as to if it was a waste and now I'm expecting it will be. Interesting to note the model number on the supplied image of yours though - ALT-1210. It seems normally that 1210 models refer to 12V1A...

hmm, maybe there are more widespread back-end issues than I thought. Who has a good dial? How good is it? I have a bunch of dials to go back and forth between and the io I have is seemingly fused in place by comparison, it's dodgy. I haven't seen much issue with the switch function, there...
