You have me beat. Got mine 16 months ago in late August 2020, but it was down 3 weeks WO a replacement back end. I'm guessing I've vaporized roughly 6 ounces during that time. That's continuous usage for 15.25 months, getting at least 11 hits per load, usually around 16-17 hits/day.
Merry Christmas! Black coffee and several pulls on the io is an excellent way to start the morning IMO. Have noticed that my consumption rate is way up lately to 1/2 g/day ( 35+ hits) of my current hybrid-sativa blend. Could this be a reflection of my mental state? 🤨☕
Follow up: I have a new appreciation for hybrids. Mixed lemon smacker (50/50) with a small amount of super silver haze (sativa). The resulting terpene flavor is sweet but heavy. In fact the level 1 (230°f) terp hit in the io kinda irritates the throat. I don't think it's a heat issue at...
Replying to my own thread is pathetic, I know, but noticed something odd. The Level 1 terp hit provided by the above mixture kinda irritates the throat. I don't think it's a heat issue at 230°f, more like a super heavy warm terp hit issue. Supposedly trichomes are terpenes, and the main source...
This thread is two years old today.
It's very nice to see someone solve a frustrating problem and return an io to service.
Several folks have complained that their io seemed to be getting cooler over time. This might be a common problem nobody knew about.
Also, I wonder if the root problem...
i don't know if this would affect the warranty. If you can see daylight looking thru the intake holes and can draw air freely there shouldn't be anything wrong in there. How does the top of the screen look when you shine a flashlight down in there? Should be clean.
If feeling lucky, you can...
Just pulled some lemon smacker out of the freezer. Got it in Pueblo at Three Rivers Dispensary (I think). Supposedly 50/50 hybrid with 25% THC. It has a strong (sweet) terpene flavor at 230° in the io. Will mix it with some leftover super silver haze sativa.
As happens when I lose track, my battery ran down and I got the blinking lights yesterday. My fully charged spare battery was within reach, put the ring charger on it instead and wait a few minutes. I'm just lazy that way. It only runs down around once a month, but this scenario applies even...
The level 1 terp hits are my favorite. I hold'em longer and let'em out in stages, to savor the psychoactive flavor for several minutes. Premium weed terps have a different effect IMO, excellent body stone. Outta be illegal....
Bought 2 oz of super silver haze (supposedly) for $100/oz several...
Can you see light thru the intake ports when you hold it up and turn it? Does it draw as freely as it should?
I hate to hear HL is not replacing inexpensive SS parts, especially after promising to do so. I'm probably living on borrowed time with my io.
I'm doing the same, then get 2-3 hits on level 5 to finish the load. I've been lucky, the io's been amazing for almost 16 months. Might have to change someday but this piglet has a firm lip lock on HL's teet.
Concerning battery performance, starting on level 1 with a fully charged battery I...
Sorry to hear that. Have you diagnosed the problem? Sounds like it could be anything from a charging problem to clogged air path. Very odd that it works occasionally.
Not having any problems keeping my battery charged. Pulled out my backup battery and tested it for the first time in several months, works great.
Since 2016, always used the magnetic ring charger that came with it, except when the unit was down for repairs.
Although the ring charger works...
Glad to see that your io works like my (15-month old) SS io. Replaced the first battery at 10-11 months but it worked fine last time I checked it. I use it natively with the ring charger. Haven't spent much. Registered my first grasshopper 5 years ago this week. It's been my primary device...
Agreed, in theory.
However, I'm guessing actual flower vaping efficiency varies significantly from device to device, and from user to user.
It could come down to the cost per hit. I'm currently getting around 15-20 heavy vape hits per day for around $0.07/hit.
For some reason I thought the "heat shield" inside the mouthpiece is copper. Do you still have those photos from when you disassembled your mp? I can see the end of it inside the tip.
I don't soak the mp overnight, probably have some build-up in the hidden air gap.
Can air flow around the...
