I'll try that. I've been running it around 375 and it's great, but it kicks through loads in a wink of the eye. Starting off at a lower temp seems like a good strategy with it.
Got mine.
Excellent right out of the box. I have it dialed to 350f to begin with and it's hitting like a truck. Impressive.
Filling it took a short learning curve, but easy after the first full. The unit is a lot smaller than I thought it would be. Fairly discrete if you ask me. Looks more...
Holy cow, I may actually get mine this year.
I'm a 12/15 preorder and it looks like they just started shipping units ordered in 10/15. October? Maybe November? If it's less than a year I feel like that's a win.
I'm really looking forward to trying it. I've had so many vapes. Iolite, MFLB, Airzer Air, VapCap, you name it. The best convection system I have is the high temp Lotus with the WPA, but it's not exactly portable and it can't be shared with people who don't know how to operate it.
My decision...
Got my first of two basic VapCap units earlier this week. Still ramping up on technique. It's a neat little unit. Super easy to combust with it, but I can tell that a little experimentation should eliminate that from happening.
When is this thread going to move to the normal portables section?
And all of it just 20 years away! It's always "just" 20 years away. A conveniently long period. Just long enough than practically anything could happen. In other words, one big bet hedge.
Exactly that, actually. Why? Because Hopper Labs didn't really exist until the Kickstarter funded it. The backers are NOT customers. They're speculative investors. Part of being a ground floor investor is taking the risk that you'll loose ALL your investment. Anyone who backed the project should...
I'm waiting for my VapCap, but I have one of these as the next item on my list. I use a ProVari Radius but I'm intrigued by the PyroVap's cigarette-like form factor.
That "20 years away" thing is typically a dodge, because practically anything can happen over that much time. Saying 10 means the claimant has to account for his or her predictions. 20 years is beyond the horizon of predictability.
Totally. The onus is on the consumer to craft his/her own buzz. It's so true that the majority of cannabis users over-dose themselves. The optimal high happens before you get to the plateau.
Welcome!
I concur on all points. Once you get a handle on flame size and distance from the plate (a skill most easily honed with a glass piece of one kind or another) it's the Ferrari of portable vapes. After using one for just a few days I found (if my torch isn't acting up) that it's pretty...
I can't speak for anyone else but I use third party batteries with the full understanding that if something goes wrong (and I'm dumb enough to tell Arizer that it was due to the third party battery) I'll be left high and dry.
If something like that happens? I'll be fine with buying a new one.
Here's the way I see it:
Backers = alpha test userbase
Pre-orders = beta test userbase
I'm a pre-order and I'm not surprised to see the shipping schedule slip. I'm also unsprised about the failing units. In ideal circumstances failures will happen now, in the backer pool and be resolved by...
The high temp cap uses the same heating plate. The advantage is in the high temp ring around the plate, which keeps the wood from charring. This is especially useful if you're using the WPA and a bubbler, where you're going to be applying flame longer than you would through the aluminum stem...
