    do you guys still smoke joints?

    I'm new to the whole vape scene, stopped smoking around February this year. I can attest to the diffusion of blunts in Europe: that's the only thing I ever smoked up until now. Roll joints with pure weed was just not doable: the weed is too strong here, and it's expensive so you need to mix it...

    If this would be your only vape, I'd say go for something else in the same price range (Odin, CF, Starry). If you have a backup - the MFLB, in this case - and you don't mind possibly having to use it for a couple more months, while enduring the frustration of not having news by the company, go...

    My 2nd generation top cap arrived this morning. I was excited to finally be able to use my Alternate after two months, but with all these reports of cracking CUs I don't really know what to think... I'll probably end up doing the Crafty mod anyway. Disappointing though.

    We discovered it a few pages back: the number below the CU unit means nothing, what you have to check is the presence of the metal ring that goes above the heater. Metal ring (as the one posted by @Vambo1980) = 2nd new generation Plastic ring = 1st faulty generation

    Might be too early to jump to conclusions, but it seems that what someone said when the first cooling units were cracking was spot on... the problem wouldn't be the material, but rather the shape of the CU and the stressing lines insisting on the same part when you open and close it. So, if...

    Awful news guys. Sorry to hear about your CUs. @purplegreen was yours "2nd generation" as well?

    Check the bottom of the cap (the part that sits above the oven). If there's a metal ring, it's the new one. You can take a look at pics posted in this very thread or on Reddit; also @ohmygodimsohigh did a comparison on YT which clearly shows the differences.

    Welcome @Drummeryjam :) Personally, I can't wait to have the CU replacement in my hands. I love my M and I get super high with it, but there's something about a session vape like the Alternate (which is my only other vaporizer, until the HGL I odered is ready :D)... I like the fact that it...

    Yo, thanks for chiming in. Taking the opportunity to say that I love your YT reviews! The sizzling sound is coming from the carb: it's the air that is forced through a narrower passage (because the carb is half blocked by the silicon ring) and as such it makes a whistle of some sort. The sound...

    Well I am a newb, and this helped me out big time :) Nope! The problem for me is the one many others described: with the carb fully closed with my finger, it's really hard to pull (like sucking an ice cream through a straw or other equally descriptive metaphors) and the whole experience is...

    Ehi man, I had the same problem. Mouth to lungs (basically "sucking" air in your mouth and then send it down to the lungs with some more fresh air...just as you do when smoking a joint) can work, but I found that direct lung pulls work better for me. Look at this video. It's not super easy to...

    Well I guess they didn't know when they would receive the units from Vivant. Now that they have them I can't imagine your shipment is too far away!

    Just as an update, my replacement CU was shipped from PIU yesterday. Blessed be Jake, as always. :peace:

    Dynavap VapCap

    It happened to me yesterday as well. I was in a coffee shop in Rotterdam, talking with my buddy, and I just didn't realise I was heating it for too long... Combusted, black AVB with white spots and a really foul smell/taste. All in all, it did give me a good reason to clean the M thoroughly...

    Any Downsides to the Vapcap? Anything you would change?

    Really? I usually heat it as soon as I hear the cool click, and it's ready to go in 5/6 seconds. I think - still new to this but it seems this way - that the sessions that give me the most clouds are the ones where I reheat the cap for the second or third time in a row. Where did you read this?

    Multi-brand Vivant Alternate

    I'm pretty sure, for what I've read here and on Reddit about people who were in contact with Vivant, that the new CUs are not ready yet. This means that both your cooling units were "old" ones, while the real new CUs (that I believe @ohmygodimsohigh tested) don't seem to have that problem...

    @DarkSm0ke again, if you're telling me to chill because you think I'm agitated, rest assured there's no need. I'm your typical stoner, no one's more chill than me :) If your definition of "chill out" is "being silent" tho, I respectfully disagree. Not when there are health concerns. Now this...

    Multi-brand Vivant Alternate

    No, I don't think so. There's one simple reason why I say that, and it's health risks. I get that, if someone has 10 vapes to choose from, consumes herbs recreationally and has 120$ to throw down the toilet, they might not care about this all. You just wait for the company to make it right...

    Dude, the time that the cap takes to cool down is A LOT longer in your video than the one of my M: yours takes like 1 full minute, and you actually need to put in on the magnet to make it pop... Mine after around 30s of normal draws pops by itself. Do you think it's because of the model (I have...

    +1 I still need to do some more testing, but I don't seem to be able to do those "mouth to lung" draws as suggested a couple of pages ago by @stardustsailor...which is weird since that's exactly how I used to smoke, both cigs and blunts, up until a couple of months ago when I got my first vape...
