    Hammer vape (dead piezo) + custom glass stems [price reduced]

    for sale are these two custom glass stems for the Hammer vape. I'm also including the Hammer vape itself, which unfortunately does not work anymore thanks to a failed piezo unit. It worked great up until the point that it would no longer spark and ignite. I understand that the piezo element...

    MiniVAP Vaporizer

    This thread baffles me sometimes because I get big vapor on the first draw, even with small loads and I always use the baskets. I've been through a few failed units and my rule of thumb is now "if I think my MV isn't working properly, I'm probably right". It should produce copious vapor and...

    MiniVAP Vaporizer

    I want to share some very good news for MV owners located in the USA. I was having an issue with my TC MV, and I sent it in to our very own @stickstones for service. he did a full heater replacement and firmware update, and shipped my unit back in less than a week! how's that for a...

    MiniVAP Vaporizer

    @subway13029 - if it is taking around a minute to get back up to temp between draws then your unit is definitely malfunctioning. My glass core unit takes 5-10 seconds to recover after a huge draw. Most draws only cause it to blink 2-3 times. Recovery time on my unit is negligible. I would...

    MiniVAP Vaporizer

    EDITED.... nevermind, I misunderstood FWIW, I had a Crafty for about 8 months and recently sold it. It really worked great, but effect, taste, and efficiency were all inferior to the MV. And of course the Crafty/Mighty cooks the load constantly, you can't use the Crafty/Mighty without the...

    Higher Cost Vaporizers Are They Worth It?

    I was an early bird IGG backer on the EVO. It is a fine device but it was retired by my miniVAPs. I also love the vapman. current rotation is miniVAP + vapman. go figure. I see both sides of the coin if your budget isn't big, all you need is vapman + daisy. I'm not sure that combo is...

    Crafty

    I bought it back in December 2014, but it's only got 29 hours logged on it, so it's been pretty lightly used. Still using an old version of the firmware (v2.04), but I have never had any problem with it whatsoever so I never sent it in for an update. I get 3+ sessions out of a charge, and I...

    If you could only have one vaporizer....

    miniVAP glass core hope this isn't too blunt but I have a crafty that only gets used when I'm out and about and an EVO that hardly gets used at all. Several other vapes have been given away or sold The MV delivers superior flavor and effect IMO. It also allows plug in use that doesn't...

    Shred/ grind bud VS scissors cut your load??

    I'm going to try the MV with tiny cut pieces when I get back from this trip. Sounds like it might just bridge the gap between ground and "whole" flower. the whole flower method does make for a more prolonged session. I think that's the trade off.

    Shred/ grind bud VS scissors cut your load??

    @MinnBobber - I hope you don't consider this a thread derailment but I know you have an MV, so I wanted to comment that I have started using unground/uncut nugs in both the tc and gc MV's, exclusively. I get like 3-5 incredibly tasty rips depending on strain, then use a pick to break up the...

    MiniVAP Vaporizer

    Just checking in to report zero problems with the 2015 MV's. The glass unit seems to heat up considerably faster than the teflon one, which is curious. However they both work great as soon as the light goes solid the glass core works especially well with unground material, which is my...

    What is a vape "Signature" and how are they different?

    by "vapor tools" I meant vaporizers. but I'm pretty sure you knew that either way, I think I see the problem here

    What is a vape "Signature" and how are they different?

    I'm curious - why the hostility towards this discussion? you seem really eager to dismiss the experience of many respected FC members and put a lid on this discussion. you're also stating your opinion as fact, which I thought was frowned upon around here. and how does the discussion do a...

    Do Vapes Produce True Vapor

    this is a somewhat bizarre post which demonstrates a disturbing absence of logic. you are saying it's not an effective harm reduction tool because it gave you a headache? you don't even smoke cigarettes? Are you sure you understand the concept of harm reduction? I agree that there is...

    MiniVAP Vaporizer

    @Michel - I agree that there have been some major quality control issues with the miniVAP. I personally have had to return two failed units. I suspect that Hermes sold a whole bunch of units that should have been thrown in the trash. this has done pretty serious damage to their brand. kinda...

    Crafty/Crafty+ by Storz & Bickel

    I don't use the crafty as my main go-to device, but the battery isn't an issue for me. I get a reliable 3 sessions with a couple bars left to spare... I know I can get 4 sessions because I've done it a few times, but I just choose not to exhaust the battery. if it were your main device, I...

    Crafty/Crafty+ by Storz & Bickel

    yeah, I prefer the stock setup as well. If I don't want to deal with the cooling unit I just don't use the Crafty I might try to make one of those adapters that @elmomuzz crafted

    MiniVAP Vaporizer

    interesting idea. I do actually have a few spare lids (don't ask)... I might actually try that? but I think separating the heat from the load is the key here. the basket only goes in the chamber while you are taking a draw and then is removed immediately. whether or not you use the lid is...

    Crafty/Crafty+ by Storz & Bickel

    in my opinion, the miniVAP basket serves no purpose when you just drop it in the bowl and install the cooling unit on top of it. it just acts as a heat sink, absorbing heat that might otherwise be going into the herb. it's not eliminating conductive or radiant heat transfer because the basket...

    MiniVAP Vaporizer

    that's all I mean... if there is significant radiation and conduction, it's no longer "nearly 100% pure convection" use of the lid doesn't detract or take away from convective heat transfer. some people just prefer as little conduction and radiation as possible. @Michel I would definitely...
