    MiniVAP Vaporizer

    I know how you feel with Ed's WonG. I use it all the time with the j-hook from @stickstones. I'm so careful with it knowing what happened to one of my lids, and what just happened to another one of yours. I've made sure this time around that I never twist it on (it's rarely off just so as not to...

    MiniVAP Vaporizer

    When I do choose glass with the MV it's with an AEON Glass bubbler with the 18mm Dewar joint. Not a high volume bubbler. Perfect for the MV.

    MiniVAP Vaporizer

    I like to almost exclusively hit it dry and used an over sized glass straw until I made the leap and got the WonG adapter and J-hook from @stickstones. I have an extra lid dedicated to the WonG because one bit the dust, lid that is, from my taking the WonG adater on and off constantly and ended...

    @FlyingLow I've only ever owned a TcMV. The glass cores came out after I bought it. The unit I have now is my daily driver for 10 months now. I've thought about getting a back-up, but have never pulled the trigger. Not sure if it would be a glass core or the Teflon again. I lean towards the...

    It is true that the most recent cores, Teflon or glass, are reliable and not prone to failure. It was the older (pre 2015) Teflon cores, which were the two that failed on me, that had known issues. Bottom line is if it's not heating consistently, it should be checked out.

    This is the sign that the core is failed/failing. I had two units that did the same thing.....intermittent heating. It makes you think it's an error on your end when in fact it's not. It needs servicing.

    MiniVAP Vaporizer

    Honestly, after thinking about it I came up with nothing. Probably why just about all of us still have it in new condition and unused in our MV carry case.....at least I do. Yeah. Lid replacement cost is ridiculous. None of the adapters interest you? Or already try them?

    MiniVAP Vaporizer

    Perfect timing for the question, because I just returned from Camp (Western Adirondacks) and usually always bring the MV along with my Crafty, but forgot the MV this time much to my chagrin and had to solely rely on my Crafty the whole weekend. While I love the hell out of the Crafty, when I got...

    Mine will start blinking immediately when I attach the battery to the core unit, say right after charging, but if it's already attached then it's as I described two posts above. Am I on older firmware and that's why??

    MiniVAP Vaporizer

    I timed my teflon core to green from a nearly full battery attached. It took 3 min. 20 sec. before the green light started blinking, and at just under the 5 min. mark total for the green light to go solid. Half your time. That seems odd.

    MiniVAP Vaporizer

    I haven't dealt with warranty issues with Hermes directly, but just like every time I have ordered parts/accessories, including just recently (Sticks didn't have stock at the time of what I needed), they have shipped it to me over the pond to the USA so fast I couldn't believe it could actually...

    I personally hate minivan's. Always have and always will...:D The type of herb and method of packing the basket plays a big part in cloud production from my experience. The less I pack a basket the quicker I can pull big clouds. I just lightly fill a large basket now and by the second draw I'm...

    @FlyingLow I take it sinus surgery went well, well, as good as surgery goes I guess. Speedy recovery to you......and hopefully an MV will be in your hands sooner rather than later.

    I'm big on dry hitting the MV, and to be honest, I thought the J-Hook would be awkward, it's not. And it cools the vapor much better than my glass straw. The WonG sits firmly and tight on the lid.

    MiniVAP Vaporizer

    My J-Hook and Ed's WonG from @stickstones arrived early. Never thought I'd find something that I was as happy with as my glass straw for dry hitting the MV, but now I have it. The fit of the WonG on the MV lid is perfect.

    Discontinued Zion vaporizer

    Your endorsement and the fact that you reach for the Zion over your MV, which I love and is my go to at home vape, and a vape I know you appreciate.....well, short and simple, order placed with optional long stem.

    Air flow is very dependent on how firm you pack the basket. I lightly pack a large basket and air flow is never an issue and I have to pull less than I do with my Crafty by a bit.

    I know many have access to all sorts of strains, but living in a non friendly state I don't, but have had the privilege to enjoy DNAGenetics 24K Gold strain for the first time ever. My oh my what a flavor train with the MV........I mean damn, that was a treat. :tup:

    Age of the FC Community plus a lot of nostalgia

    Born in 1960. So happy I got to spend my teen years in the 70s......to me one of the finest decades to grow up. So much simpler back then. Thinking about it brings back fond memories of high school and my 69 VW beetle and the things that happened inside it. ;)
