    The Herbalizer

    Herbalizer support just today informed me that their recommendation is to fully unplug the device when not in use, which seems pretty excessive to me. Yes, it's nitpicky, but boot-up, vapor mode button selection, and fan spin up all take at least 15 sec which doubles the advertised heat-up...

    I am with you. The way Winegums' pasted support response is worded its not even clear if they: 1) Have a single hardware design and made one-off modifications to just that unit 2) Have revised hardware designs already, and incorporated (back-ported) those internal changes to Winegums' unit 3)...

    Very interesting. Thanks for following up. Care to share the serial number (just to the thousands) of the unit that failed? I'm guessing under 10,000? I asked them directly about whether there have been hardware revisions since my serial 9xxx unit was manufactured. I guess I just got my answer.

    I'm using my pax3 in the meantime. I guess its not a well loved device these days but IMO a decent choice for low-effort use outside the home. It's predecessor (pax2) was my daily driver before I got Herbie. 10yr warranty on the flagship device (I have it on both my pax2 and pax3 and have gotten...

    Not much more than an "oh no!". I didn't feel like pressing them on it since I was asking for a warranty replacement when I didn't really qualify for it (unauthorized reseller). They, theoretically, could have told me to pound sand. With that said, once my replacement ships (hopefully...

    No, sir, at least not until I get a non-melted Herbie back from HQ! :ko:

    When did you buy (approx is fine) the 9xxx serial unit? Just trying to pin down when mine was actually produced... If that was my goal I would put less material, not more. But if you mean your goal is to cash an entire full bowl into a single bag, I don't think Herbie has the fan power. At...

    The Herbalizer

    matey, I have found that drying the herb out the way you describe is not really necessary (and seems to affect potency negatively). I use 58% boveda packs on my to-be-vaped product (62% on to-be-combusted) and batch grind a small to middling amount at a time. If it gums up the grinder, I put...

    FWIW, the near-constant cooling fan only happens to me when I have the vape set at around 415 or higher. At my usual 300s temps, the fan kicks on only occasionally & briefly to enable a temperature sample. So for me, there didn't seem to be that much difference between LidClosed, ScreenSaver...

    At the end of the day it really is. I've got a custom setup that filters the vapor particulate through water and nothing I've ever tried comes close in terms of keeping my mouth, esophagus, trachea, and lungs happy and healthy. Maintaining my ability to breathe, smell and taste on a high level...

    The Herbalizer

    A legitimate question that I've been wrestling with myself. But like His_Highness I more or less come down to a matter of risk/reward - is there *any* way to get smoke or vapor into lungs without fire risk? Who hasn't had close calls with combustion methods? If I could get a pile of money...

    This occasionally happened to my unit starting about a year ago. I would say I encountered it every 2 months or so (daily driver use). I only run max temp to heat glass prior to cleaning, so this would happen after sessions in the 300s or very low 400s. Refurb units on ebay, direct from...

    The Herbalizer

    Honestly I'm a little scared too but given the abuse Herbie is put through and the number of units out there I will probably continue to use it - assuming I get a warranty replacement - albeit more carefully and perhaps on a smart switch (or just add an appropriate fuse). Edit: I'll definitely...

    Terrifying... I'm glad I stopped mine before it got to flaming! The abv/dust leakage scenario seems pretty possible to me but since you can't open the vape without voiding the warranty, how are you supposed to inspect/clean? I was wrong about the dates. Mine's actually only 1.5 years old...

    I've loved my herbie for a long time (nearly 3 2 years) but today it almost burned my house down :( Album of dead herbie pics and combusted bowl: https://imgur.com/a/G517V8d I made a bag @ 366F but got called away and left the house for about 5 minutes. Upon my return I smelled burning plastic...

    MiniVAP Vaporizer

    PM'd. The glass mouthpiece IS weird!! I couldn't ID it. I tried it on the end of my looong whip and while it's actually pretty comfortable on the lips, it restricts airflow a little too much to be practical. Edit: Received the shipping cost refund that I requested from Hermes. Thanks are...

    Hangin' ;) No longer pissed off. When the universe is clearly dead-set against you, it's wise to activate zen mode.

    MiniVAP Vaporizer

    @stickstones My local PO has been really inconsistent lately - I didn't actually get the package until just this moment. And it looks like it's got "Flexcone+" instead of "Flexcone" ? I am not an expert on minivap as I bought these for my herbalizer but I expected a cone shaped piece of...

    MiniVAP Vaporizer

    My view on the matter is that a) Reshipping as default policy - and ensuing delay - should be stated on minivap site for US orders ahead of time b) Adding a reshipper to save $6-8 per txn does not seem (to me) to be worth the increased wait times, risk, and hassle; plus you've indicated that...
