It has been somewhat unfortunate, but not remotely unforeseeable. The timeline is something like this: -pitched 2013, -pre-orders opened 2014, -2015-2016 backer units started arriving in the field with 30% initial failure rate, -2016-2017 pre-orders delivered as known-bad devices but with...

I don't have the New Vape grinder, but in my opinion the BCG Fine plate is fine enough. I have tried a finer, as consistent grind with the MFLB finishing grinder. It might suit some conduction vapes better to go that small and fine/dusty, but it's hardly ever worth the effort of using that tiny...

There's definitely some discussion on the differences between them in the thread. From memory, the NewVape goes finer, but is a hassle as it's 2-piece. 3-pieces makes it nice and easy to go from full bud to vaping. I think the BCG fine plate is a nice amount of fineness, I do have the MFLB...

This is a great pic showing the grinds (credit to @Jill NYC) The fine grind lives up to the name, note the consistency too.

Well the ship was well off course. Remember these devices began with a 30+% failure rate. Ships are slow to turn. Welp, a few days of a break and I'm back on the hopper train. It's just too convenient. Staring down at 4 new LG HG2 18650's for my StemPod but I've already filled my lungs a few...

Yep, by crazy cool shit I mean they set up shop to laser sinter metal, pick and place SMDs, laser weld, laser engrave, automate procedures, and it all adds up to (allegedly) delivering this crazy cool pen. To me that qualifies. Lasers are really cool, I have micro etched CBD and THC molecules on...

It's all well deserved flack. Expected and fair. Hopefully they get their shit together eventually... We've all been waiting in hope, at this point we might as well continue. Hard to know what to think. The devices might return after service working really well, but for how long? I've clocked...

Instagram has an insane amount to offer when it comes to glass. I'll shout out @trap_glass, he has hooked me up with a bunch of awesome pieces. And I might recommend checking out @sol_glassworks @fluid.glass @joda_glass (active on FC) @shwayzeglass. There is an endless stream of artists and...

What kind of budget are you thinking? I've been really happy with this piece, cheap as chips and the best piece I've got off DHgate for vaping: https://www.dhgate.com/product/real-image-hitman-mini-glass-bongs-oil-rigs/417385375.html If you want something to match the swagger of the anodised...

I hear you, but you should do the same self service with a decent flashlight. Optimise the current path and obtain better performance. Usually does the trick. However it's not going to be too surprising if it is heater degredation given the time frame. I guess @elykpeace has tried the other...

I'd try a Q-tip scrub on the postive battery terminal, 1000 grit sandpaper on the negative terminal, blu tack and/or deoxit on the back-end (and body) threads and compressed air through the chamber and intake holes. I've had a bit of varied experience with my repaired units but that usually...

I don't think it's that crazy to want to avoid understudied exposure. Chromium isn't a joke. It pays to be aware of what we are exposed to. Laser printers generate nasty chemicals, and so do plenty of vaporizers. One can be ventilated, the other causes a direct injection to the blood stream. I...

hope you can get it running again soon

did you normally leave it plugged in to power? surge protected? 3-4 years is a decent amount of time, not a super long innings though. Might be worth checking the cable before replacing the whole unit

Now I'm home, I can verify my Sub PSU has its green LED glowing solid. This occurs whenever it is plugged in to mains, even with the Monkey Controller disconnected. How old is the PSU? It's not uncommon for something like that to eventually die.

CCG are doing custom frosted bangers for $15 USD I thought it was a pretty good deal, decent enough quality for the price for sure. sorted via instagram

Can you take a pic of the solder joints? This is a common failure with the monkey controller. I ended up shorting the board by not fixing it. If you're getting variable power I'd suggest a dry joint might have formed and at this stage the PCB should be fully recoverable. I blew up a chip and...

What does the SMD DC barrel power jack look like? Is it still soldered or hast it formed a dry joint or disconnected?

good to know. It seems like it'd do the trick should I ever lose the ability to sub, and the FP is even a bit more versatile with low temps and glass bowls on offer. fun stuff. It's not from every hit, but it accumulates very quickly. I recently cleaned my gear, and last night I simmered the...

When you get those quite dense hydro nugs that just bust up into a juicy fluff Airy hits with the StemPod, hopper to chase. I really appreciate this grinder
