I think it's OK. You can shut it down and save the rest for later. Some pull the stem, but that leaves you with a stem too hot to touch and doesn't really save anything extra. Vapor isn't lost or destroyed, it simply condenses somewhere else in the load and awaits liberation. Many of us have...

I agree, handling it by the glass part until the metal is cool enough works for me. With the Mini, I just drop the hot stem in the well (metal 'down') since it's silicone rubber on the bottom. Not so the full size ones. I get the 'not bright enough for daylight' thing, then again it's...

I have both and you couldn't prove it by me one is significantly hotter than the other. IMO both get hot enough to merit due caution. Why they decided to stop labeling the danger I don't know. Maybe they don't have Lawyers where then come from? It's on thing to not label stuff folks should...

Depending on how fouled it was, no doubt. This is a conduction vape a layer of built up hydrocarbon junk on the bowl surface will change that a lot from bare metal. Part of the little guy's 'hidden charms'? OF

Too bad you didn't get the full size V5.OS. It comes with a label on the top, "Caution Hot". And the side of the metal end of the stem is engraved "Caution Get Hot" (sic). So, if you want to know were the "S" at the end of the model name came from, now you know.......it slipped off the stem...

If you ordered it from Randy at PIU standby for an amazingly short wait. My guess is you'll have it Saturday, if not tomorrow? Good luck surviving it. OF

I think it's normal. You can't go waving it around but it's not going to fall off if you're careful I think. I have no problem holding it by the bottom at least. I trust you're not talking about standing the lot upright on the table? I'm not sure it's realistic to expect the shoulder to...

Not in my book. Clever perhaps, but not all that intelligent. No temperature control, for instance. No electrical magic (no, I don't count the striker....). It is fast, of course, but then you have a hot stem to deal with for a bit? So I think it's slower overall in 'back in your pocket'...

I agree. I can't think of any 'advanced' vape (one with intelligent electronics aboard) that is any tougher? Vapes like VG and Cera might survive rough treatment better but they have much less as risk. It's certainly no slouch. Can anyone suggest a more rugged vape in this class? I'm a...

Yes, I have both and find a suitable fit with the smallest step on the male part of the adapter from PIU. Very solid seal, quite stable. I guess I don't understand what your problem is? Is the shoulder for the next step up keeping the adapter from entering the PMWT completely? OF

As others have said, most/cheap cabinets don't perfectly seal.....there's generally no reason to do so since external controls (like sweeping it up off the shop floor) cover it well enough. There are definitely exceptions, like when you're bead blasting (glass spheres) to clean often toxic...

Yes, I have one and like it. My only complaint is it rattles even more than the stock (it's a bit shorter). Ed said that (being shorter) was based on a request from a full size version owner concerned about the door jamming. I said I didn't see why it couldn't be at least factory length. He...

Yep, that's my take on it. I understand it varies with construction (lower capacity, higher current cells having less effect). Not much, from a few percent to maybe 8 or 10? And it doesn't always show up until the end of life. Still, as you say, not to be casually discarded when a few hours...

But they don't actually cut completely off you see. They still keep a small current going (or try to) to do two functions, 'find' a battery to charge and to 'unlock' protected batteries. The first time up, the battery (really a 'cell' technically since there's only one unit) the cell 'forms'...

For maximum battery life 'over charge' the first time is recommended. At least four hours past 'full'. Overnight is a good plan IMO. Before any discharging. After the first cycle it's a moot point. Only the first 'counts'. After that you should get at least 4, perhaps five bowls per...

They don't say. There are at least 3 different 4mm plug 'standards' (cell phones you know....), some work, some don't. I have 1.7s that work, some that don't make reliable contact. I have some 1.6s that fit and work, some that don't (apparently too small). If you want to be sure, PM Pipes. OF

I suggest you contact Pipes, he can set you up with the right adapter. Not all 1.7X4 plugs are long enough to work. There are also some cables recommended from Ebay (Play Station?) that work, but you'll need to be handy with a soldering iron to use them since the other end is USB. I'd...

I agree. High temperature seems the logical culprit. Or rather temperature build up). However, I disagree that 'unit not designed to .....' is not an excuse for a hard failure (one that trashes the unit). A solid design doesn't allow such things to happen. Granted, the unit seems designed...

Thanks. Is subjective for sure, but I find the different angle more to my liking. I think it matches very well the angle of the Lugar pistol (considered by many to be the best ever 'instinctively'). The flame points very much like my index finger would. I think that's what makes good...

That's unfortunate indeed. I have to wonder if it's a seller issue? My 'main' on is four years old, and has seen a LOT of service. On average many times a day? Strange as it sounds to Western ears, perhaps they are copies (of an already cheap lighter....) or perhaps 'gray market'...
