Yeah they discussed this in another thread of a similar product. The ceramic rod thats used in place of a wick is not as good at absorbing so your oil will "run away" faster than if your using a cart with a wick.
Just some things to note,
You sent them an email on friday, which is the end of their week. So depending on when you sent the email it could have gotten lost with a bunch of other emails they received over the weekend. Ive had issues getting a response from them when i send the email on a...
remove coil altogether for just herbs and black rod. It takes patience and technique and even then its not the best but itll get the job done.
If using with oil and the white rod leave the coil in, load oil, place screen on top of coil and load herbs.
You dont want to store the hercules loaded...
Yeah i wasnt implying they stole anything, i was just thinking maybe they opened it up to inspect and didnt put everything back. Because ive read of that happening before...either way im sure itll get sorted out.
As for the switch, im going through a similar issue. You can try putting a dime or...
Yes the black rod will work with LL, but it takes some effort. You need to remove the coil pack it down with shredded leaf and use the shaking technique vitolo showed in a video. It will work but it takes a lot of effort and patience.
If by rested the cart on top of the rod you mean the coil...
Im not postive, but dont packages get sorted through when going through customs? Could be that someone inspecting it took it out and never put it back. Bummer for sure but TV will sort it out for you
As for the switch, to rule out the Battery or cartridge being the issue take the switch off...
Possibly because they could preorder the okeanos and if anything happens to the kiss cart in it between when they get it and when the replacements are released there might be some downtime...
@THC SCIENTIFIC thanks for the update preordering later today so i dont miss out again... Any update on...
Yeah i usually load about .1-.2 for a buffer and then another .1-.2. When vapor production decreases i load some more. Most of the times my ceramic is still kind of saturated when i need to load more so i dont really go by how the ceramic looks anymore.
And for people having a hard time loading...
Okay i might be reading this wrong but you said you iso, boiled then loaded a fresh bowl and let it dry overnight...
Did you do any 20/20/20 burns before loading the cartridge...
I would say that left over water is most likely the source of the sizzle... What you want to do is iso, boil then...
Yeah ive been going back and forth with zeki so well see what happens... Its just weird because ive been using the same battery since i got them in july with no issue then all of a sudden it doesnt work at all and none of the CGR batteries will fire unless i stretch the spring out which i hate...
Yeah that happened to me too and i checked it immediately... Not the problem but thanks for the advice...
I think its the spring on the switch. None of my flat top batteries work at all unlessi. Use aluminum foil instead of the switch. I tried stretching it out and now the flat tops are kinda...
I would go to home depot or lowes if you can, you can find one there thats more than capable of doing the job for around $20 maybe less and dont have to worry about shipping...
On another note, had a scare last night... Took a couple hits from EO on a freshly charged battery, then did one quick...

Thats crazy, i usually do a 20-30 second preheat for LL, since i got it repaired, and its working flawlessly. I bought my cera and LL from the classifieds and i think my LL was always put of spec because it works amazing since i got it back and never worked this good. Definitely my favorite...
Theres the 3 step technique...i read it when i first got the cera, everyone should really but anyway heres what i do....
Fill it up to the top without packing it down really, then hold the button for about 20 seconds to preheat, keep holding and take a slow long inhale...then exhale quickly to...
I noticed the same thing kinda...not so much leaking leaking, but if i overloaded it or ran it to hard next time i would unscrew it, there would be residue on the baseplate and some noticeable oil on the underside of th cart. Im assuming coming from the gap betwen the center post and the EO...
Its a fan so its gonna make some noise. Its barely noticable when compared to the volcano. I have yet to try any new ones like herbie or the new vapir, but compared to the oter bag models on the market the vivape is either at the Same level of noise or quieter... Thats just my opinion on it...
If the white rods for you than stick with it. Im sure the newer white rods will be even better! Its most likely technique related(i use similar but slightly different techniques with the two rods), not the batteries if your able to get decent hits out of it...ive only tried the AW 2000mah...
@gadabout sounds about right. If i had to guess i would say you spoke with dan. Anytime ive had an issue he always calls asap, explains everything and is super friendly...
@dormouse
Just got an email from him, they just had a press release regarding the mivape i thought i would share it...
