I've been interested in one of these for some time now!
Unfortunately it seems that the maker only takes direct bank transfers and ships via the DHL slowboat which I know is quite backed up right now (I've had other shit waiting in Germany for a plane for 1 mo+ at this point).
Does anyone...
I pulled out the bottom two screws. I can't get them back in and now there is a white piece of plastic that's loose somewhere in the assembly. No idea what that is.
E: there may also be some damage from the drop itself. My unit was buzzing which I don't remember from before. The glass bowl is...
I understand that this has been mentioned in a different context. I'm mentioning it in the context of current events... This is a discussion board- I've seen many posts that discuss the exact same topic. As long as what I'm saying is on-topic then I honestly don't see what the issue is.
I'm...
Weird that you're so emotional over me pointing out a simple pattern... are you the sole arbiter of discussion? I've never mentioned this before on FC, so you can calm down, buddy! I'll discuss what I want. Thanks anyways though.
Lovely. I just ordered one too.
Good thing this maker has never ghosted dozens of customers RMAs or entirely abandoned projects before! Good thing he doesn't hide his identity in order to pull the same thing twice!
And I put my money on one... do I have brain damage? Probably...
Has anyone ever disassembled a minivap?
I dropped mine and thought I would take it apart to look for damage but as soon as I removed the bottom two screws stuff started going wrong. I've emailed Patricia. Hopefully I can get it working again - I really love this device :(((
Some sort of high temp lead free solder? Hopefully - it doesn't seem to degrade from disassembly pics I've seen anyways!
I'm interested! Can you make new units with the SS foil disc mod?

Nebula/donut style MP, FP+, Mystery Silicone tube (12mm/8mm)

Pretty simple - the MP is secure even upside down.
It adds a lot of cooling for whatever reason IME - probably because of the bifurcation...
I just tried a nebula-style (is that what elev8 calls them too? Do they blow them for VXH?) mouthpiece with a very short silicone adapter. It cooled the vapor a shocking amount for just a mouthpiece. Very cool idea @MonkeyTime. Perhaps my new favorite way to use the MV dry! I had been pressing...
I would guess that the Ti heater would improve the experience. They even sell non-digital Ti versions normally. Youd need a new bowl too though I think.
I wish I was paying attention to FC when this was still available!
That would be amazing. I would even pay for a "some assembly required" package.
There was some talk on the oldFC about finding the glass supplier but nobody could seem to do that.
Usually I have my unit on for an hour or two before I hit it; there's no shutoff and I'm generally at my desk anyways!
The power has definitely dropped - I haven't heard of anyone else needing to run their units at 12.5. My unit was nearly combusting at 12v at one point. It's not a huge deal as...
Congrats on your unit making it through the mail @Lazylathe !!!
My unit was initially hitting well at 11.6-12. Now it hits well at 12.3-12.5.
I'm a little concerned - is my unit losing power? Or perhaps something else is happening?
The change occurred after 1-2 weeks of ownership and...
