    FlowerMate Vapormax V/V5.0/V5.0S/V5 Pro

    The vice trick I came up with remedied my problem with the lid being loose - so much so that at first it was almost too tight. Now with some use it seems to have seated perfectly.

    FlowerMate Vapormax V/V5.0/V5.0S/V5 Pro

    I think you and marime have defective units unfortunately - I have been using the hell out of mine and have none of these problems. Also - I only wait about 5-10 seconds between hits and get nice uniform clouds every draw. The one problem I do share with you and others is (was) the loose lids...

    FlowerMate Vapormax V/V5.0/V5.0S/V5 Pro

    No - I scrapped that piece from the get-go I'm talking about the 5-hole disc just above the screw-off base of the mouthpiece that contains the screen. Take a draw threw the mouthpiece as a whole - then take a draw with the silicon mouthpiece by itself held up tightly against the screw-off base...

    FlowerMate Vapormax V/V5.0/V5.0S/V5 Pro

    Going to try this tomorrow - I noticed that the mouthpiece screen, even with a medium grind/chop, fouls almost immediately slowing the draw. Your screen trick should stop this. I'm also going to drill out that upper 5-hole base disc on the mouthpiece - this really seems to be a bottleneck!

    FlowerMate Vapormax V/V5.0/V5.0S/V5 Pro

    I bought mine for this very reason. I brought it out on the boat with me when we went fishing, hanging out over a fire at night etc and it served me well. Its not the heaviest of clouds but not weak either. Using the Mate is more like sipping on a good tequila as opposed doing a shot as compared...

    FlowerMate Vapormax V/V5.0/V5.0S/V5 Pro

    Well - I leave for my trip tomorrow morning (which is why I got one of these in the first place). I used my "Mate" last night for the first time (with some Tangie). Love this little device - the draw could be eased a bit but I'll work on that when I get back. On a side note - I had heard of...

    FlowerMate Vapormax V/V5.0/V5.0S/V5 Pro

    Yet another good idea bud! ;) Think I'll drill out that first section below the silicon mouthpiece (the disc with 5 holes) - that seems to be the bottleneck.

    FlowerMate Vapormax V/V5.0/V5.0S/V5 Pro

    Thanks... Yeah, I shit-canned that little plug immediately but its still a difficult draw. Any other suggestions? Maybe this is "normal' as I am used to balloons but I didn't expect it to be this much resistance...

    FlowerMate Vapormax V/V5.0/V5.0S/V5 Pro

    OK - got the unit charged, did a number of burn-offs and deodorized the unit. Quick question for all of you FM owners - are these supposed to be a bitch to draw on or is there something wrong with mine? Its like sucking a golf ball thru a garden hose! Is this normal with the 'as-is' set up...

    FlowerMate Vapormax V/V5.0/V5.0S/V5 Pro

    What do women sex toy forums and the FC Vapormax V thread have in common? :shrug: Its appears its the shared desire to remove the smell of silicon from their new purchases! ;) Anyway - after no luck with the ISO/coconut milk soaking overnight (the mouthpiece still had a strong smell) , I...

    FlowerMate Vapormax V/V5.0/V5.0S/V5 Pro

    ^^^ Thank you... Dr. Vapes et al - how much time are you guys finding best to soak the silicon mouthpiece in both the ISO and coconut milk in order to remove the smell? Any input is appreciated - got in on the charger now!

    Got my Mates today - 6 days total to the Midwest. I'll post my first impressions after a couple days with it! Thanks Flower! (and Dr. Vapes for the tip)

    FlowerMate Vapormax V/V5.0/V5.0S/V5 Pro

    Hey bud - To me, it sounds like your mouth piece is fresh - meaning it was recently just molded. On its own, with no help from a solvent, it will express silicon oils like crazy at first and since it was likely sealed up not too long after that, the rest of the unit will have some residual...

    FlowerMate Vapormax V/V5.0/V5.0S/V5 Pro

    The reason Dr. Vape recommended ISO, followed by coconut milk is the ISO helps to express the oils from the silicon (as a solvent). The coconut milk which is high in fats/lipids acts as great natural emulsifier by breaking down and removing those expressed silicon oils (without introducing...

    FlowerMate Vapormax V/V5.0/V5.0S/V5 Pro

    All in for 3 equated to $60 per... and I echo you and Dr Vape (who brought Flower to our attention) - she is lightning fast in both communication and shipping/handling!

    FlowerMate Vapormax V/V5.0/V5.0S/V5 Pro

    Just placed my order via PayPal for 2 Purple and 1 Red thru Dr. Vapes contact - Flower Wen. She's so easy to deal with and communication is immediate and on-point. I grabbed a couple extras to take advantage of the slight combined shipping bump. I have one friend that wants one for sure and...

    FlowerMate Vapormax V/V5.0/V5.0S/V5 Pro

    I contacted both... Dr. Vapes contact quoted me $81.60 total with PayPal and was very thorough from the get-go (no need for any back and forth and really fast to hit you with an invoice. They also have purple (every color except orange). SmokJoy quoted me $80.60 all in but had every color...
