    TUBO evic/dual

    I had this same issue when I got mine almost a year ago. For me, I liked the vapor quality better out of the rimmed basket screen rather than in between the basket and the inner screen. I almost immediately started packing the rimmed basket screen only after I wasn't really liking the whispy...

    TUBO evic/dual

    Just got mine today, I got a short stem and some capsules. Really liking it so far! I found that my stem wasn't fitting tightly (to be expected that wood will feel different than glass) unless I made sure that the capsule was seated really well, then it was able to grab better. I can't wait...

    TUBO evic/dual

    I've been using my Tubo Evic for a few weeks now, and I'm incredibly impressed with this little device. To me, it's almost more than a portable, like a bridge between portable and desktop. If you're on the fence about this device, jump! It's solid. Here are my favorite parts - Both Cruise...

    TUBO evic/dual

    Once I get mine, I'll be taking it up to the mountains (I'm in Colorado) so will be able to test at high altitudes, but it won't be until snowboarding season until I can do so. Too bad I don't have it now, it's getting down into freezing temps on Tuesday. EDIT - Also, forgot to post, here's my...

    TUBO evic/dual

    Just got in on an order for a Tubo, super excited to hear back from @funkyjunky when it's ready. I've read every page of this thread, and feel like I've learned along with all of you, especially because I read the thread chronologically. Hope that I can help give back to this community with my...

    Mine is a bit iffy on the rhythm part. Trust me, I've got quite a bit of rhythm, and even when I do the 5 clicks quickly or more slowly, I have about a 50% success rate on getting it the first 5. Usually it's the second 5. No idea why this is, but I promise I'm hitting them with an evenly...

    My replacement (new version) top cap is cracked now as well. Looking closely, I can see 5 cracks in the top, in my pic the middle arrow highlights the worst one, where I can see an air gap, and runs through one of the two connecting tabs. I'll be reaching back out to Vivant and PIU to see if...

    Got my replacement CU today from PIU as well, thanks Jake!! Definitely is a much sturdier piece, but still gets similarly hot in the same places, so we'll see how it holds up over time. I might just be expecting too much out of this unit taste wise coming from my Arizer Air, but it still has a...

    Hey Vitolo, if you still cannot find a cable, and Vivant doesn't end up sending you one, send me a PM and l will send you a cable, I've got a metric buttload of them around the house.

    Something I'm noticing with mine, and hadn't asked others yet - I find most of the time when I'm turning the Alternate on, when it's completely off, I normally have to hit the button more than 5x to turn it on. Sometimes it's a second set of 5, sometimes it comes on by the 7th or so, it's not...

    Hello

    Welcome back!! I hope that you are able to rekindle the feeling of fun. We aren't here on this pale blue dot long enough to pour time into things that don't fulfill or enrich our lives in some way. Some people are always going to be critics, but know that you have a family here that cares...

    Pretty sure he meant the MSDS for PES itself, not the Alternate. PES has pretty good numbers from a heat resistant standpoint, right up there with PEEK and Polyimide (what used to be used in the Inhalater vaporizer capsules), is food grade, easily machinable, and I think a great choice by...

    Mine is doing this as well, the circle of the rim isn't perfectly round anymore I'm noticing where the rim is most affected, I've sent a PM to Vivant to see if they can help me with a replacement. FWIW, my mouthpiece has never been over 400 degrees in its 168 minutes of usage as of writing...

    I think the efficiency is actually really good. My AVB has a nice, even color, so I don't feel the need to stir or mess with it, and my preference is on a 3 minute session timer, and to me 6 minutes is actually a pretty good sweet spot to remain functional, as I'm more of a functional kind of...

    Let's all please try to avoid statements that say someone is more experienced than someone else just because they have a low post count. I've been on this board for almost 9 years, and have participated in this community since that time. I had to create a new account a couple years ago because...

    Mine is not getting overly hot to the touch to the point where it feels like it is burning me, but I'm noticing that where many are reporting cracks (on the cooling unit) is where mine gets the hottest. So far, I've documented each session and haven't missed one yet. I'm up to 75 minutes of...

    Just as a heads up, I've been continuing to test my new Alternate, and have been logging my data in a spreadsheet in case it's needed down the road. I've had two 6 min sessions that definitely had a plastic taste in there (I'm definitely spoiled coming from the Arizer Air's glass path) and have...

    I just got my alternate today, and I must say that I've been a bit on the fence for a while reading through the thread, have been following since about page 14 or so. I decided throughout Emily and Scott's participation here and their commitment to fixing issues and qualms people have, that I...
