That pic is scary. I stopped using my Alternate at high temps a couple of weeks ago, now I won't use it at all. And still no answers on the possible health concerns.

Ehi, thanks for chiming in. This is actually pretty interesting since I just bought a Dynavap M myself. I was under the impression that the HGL and the Vapcaps had different measures... do you use a particular attachment for either of them to work with your bong? I bought the fat mouthpiece...

Cheers man, I will try that tonight. It's confusing because, coming from smoking (both blunts and cigarettes) I had to learn how to inhale directly into lungs when I got my Alternate, because at the beginning I was doing "mouth to lung" without results. With the M it's the other way around...

I had the same experience (used it for the first time last night for 6 or 7 sessions) but since this is only my second vape, I blamed my incompetence. Basically what I found is that if I leave the carb completely open, the hit is smooth and I have no problem inhaling...which sounds logical. But...

I am no good with poetry, but my name for the dog would definitely be Auntie Mary's canary! Good luck everyone! :D Happy 420 and thanks @underdog for this! :peace:

I ordered from vaposhop.com, just to be safe. Paid 70€ for: the "M", a fat mouthpiece, lighter, first quality "Black Leaf" butane, an extra storage tube and a box of 25 pipe cleaners. Free shipping and they threw in a herb package of some lavender and peppermint. All considered, for the peace...

I think I will go that route too, now that my Dynavap M has arrived. I would have returned it earlier, but I'm in Europe. Honestly I'm waiting for a clear answer from Vivant before contacting PIU, it's been some time now. As @HSIHP, I like the Alternate and I think it has a lot of potential. I...

I'm under the same impression. I have been trying to do burnoffs without the cap and it definitely still smells, even after 20+ more uses. It's my first vape tho, so I'm not really sure if it's supposed to give that type smell or not....it's different from the plastic taste I have when using the...

Hey everyone, here to say that I contacted Nick about a week ago and I'm now in the queue for the HGL. SO thrilled! Any new owners? How long did it take for your log to arrive? What water piece (possibly from Dhgate) would you recommend for it? Sorry this message doesn't really add anything...

yo @Vivant, you've been silent lately... Any news on those mouthpieces? :peace:

@IckiestOfTheSticky yep. Happens to me all the time. edit to elaborate a bit: pressing the button 5 times almost never works when the Alternate has been turned off for some time (talking about minutes). I found out that most of the times I have to press one of the other two buttons to turn it...

So yesterday night I went to a party and shared the Alternate with three friends, all seasoned smokers who never tried a vaporizer before. As soon as they took the first hit from the new bowl (heated at 180C for taste), two of them agreed that it tasted like "the smell of a new car". That...

Good news! Keep us posted :)

Agreed, and I really don't understand why. They must realise they're losing money doing this. I'm fairly active on r/vaporents (as in, I read every new post published) and I can assure you, since these problems arose a lot of people stopped suggesting the Alternate when beginners are asking for...

That's very cool, Emily. I'll wait for the new mouthpieces to come out then. It would be perfect if that happened before 20/4 (yeah, fuck combustion but also fuck your confusing murican way of writing dates! :D) so we can take advantage of the sales! At this point I think it makes sense for me...

Hey Emily @Vivant, thanks for replying. Just to set the record straight, when I said in my previous post "I don't appreciate the rude tone of some messages" I was referring to the ones of other users criticizing you with words like "plasticy crap". Sorry for the confusion, your posts were always...

I'm sorry to say that I checked my mouthpiece just now and the cooling chamber has some clear signs of melting :(

I bought an Alternate a month ago from PIU and it arrived two weeks later (Europe). I haven't had cracking problems (or melting, for what I can see: haven't cleaned it yet) but tbh I haven't used it a lot, less than 15 sessions I'd say. I did notice that the mouthpiece gets really hot above the...

Thanks for the review man, very thorough. Just so you know, there are still some "Alternative" in the Vapor paragraph :) I'm waiting for my Alternate to arrive, unfortunately it's stuck at customs so won't have it 'till Monday I guess. Ever more excited now after your post! Can we expect a...

Hey everyone, I just bought the Alternate, it should be here in about 10 days. I have never even tried a vape once, so it's all completely new for me, and I have to say I'm very excited about it. I would like to publicly thank @sickmanfraud and @Oogendoogan for their help :tup: Also, the...
