From the specs listed the key differences appear to be the bigger battery and the titanium mesh heater. I'd expect this to go at least as hard as the TM2 and to also be mostly convection. Kinda surprised there's no mention of balls.
Aerolite Vaporizer by YLLVape

When you're trying to build a (mainly) on demand vaporizer, balls don't really make much sense. You want quick heat-up of the convection heater, you don't want to spend time and battery power on heating a big thermal mass. Once the heater is hot, you've taken your hit and released the button, you want no more heat radiating to your bowl.

exactly the way i feel about it, there should be no need for balls -on demand mode, but their session mode might be a good thing. but i'm betting there won't be balls in this unit.
Oh, I agree. My surprise is really related to trend chasing.

I am VAStly Interested In the Aerolite,
ON board here at home Are an Enhanced Version and 3- OG Angus . My Enhanced version has quit heating up.Lamp/bulb problem suspected. Still love the OGs with 50watts .
Instead of getting the UPDATED Enhanced version which protects the sensor wires if i recall correctly I Want the AEROLITE ASAP Along with FCers interested in the Updated Larger Battery AEROLITE . wah.

I love my OG as well.
@4-Aces King-High I'm with @seedy53 Yllvape replaced my OG when I had a heating issue that was MY fault! I received the replacement almost immediately.
I'm not dissuading you from your Aerolite VAS, that's one of the few vapes on my near future acquisition list as well(I'll be in touch Scott @VGOODIEZ ) but reach out about your Enhanced unit, they're good peeps!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Will the AEROLITE really compete with the TM2 for $149?
What do we think?

I have no way of knowing at this point in time, having used neither of them. But not knowing something never stopped anyone on the internet from posting confidently. So.... YES! LOL (Translation, I hope so. Because I'm gonna want to get one.)

There is no reason that it shouldn't be able too. They aren't using wood or any other unique or exotic material, the tech is pretty tried and true. Nic vapers have been using Ti mesh for decades...literally. It maybe new for yll but not for the industry.
At $150 I think they should be able to compete, that's roffu territory. Beyond the roffu I can't think of many "good" on demand vapes that arnt approaching $300+ ie. TM2(350), fw9 (265 for 1 method, 300 for both) bolee 2(425), bakx(375++), solo3(275+375) I'm sure there are others, but Im mainly talking about ones that can be gotten today.
There is definitely space in the market for a sub $200 on demand vape that rips.
I think there are a couple things to go with that. Loading method is huge in my eyes. When I'm using an on demand device it's usually because I just want to get 3-4 great rips quickly, discreetly, and tasty. I don't wanna have to mess around with packing a bowl of something that is finicky, messy, sticky, and hot. I like to touch my herb as little as possible and use a spoon when at home, so when I'm out and about I want something that is either self contained or dead easy like the straw method used by the TM2. I don't know what the Aerolite method will be but I hope it's a good one. They seem to most other boxes for on demand devices go.
I Have a 100 watt Angus, An Angus enhanced, and the yll 2.0 IH so it's safe to say ill be getting the Aerolite when it comes out.

@Retr0grad3 the same loading method than the angus enhanced since they use the same chamber and mouthpiece (and glass capsules).

Ehh not super stoked on the enhanced loading strategy for an on demand. If I have my little spoon then it's a breeze, but if I don't have some sort of implement it's not the easiest/cleanest loading method on the block. I do like all the options for stems then and the compatibility with already owned enhanced glass assesories. I should have realized that considering they are advertising their newer bubbler as cross compatible with AE.

IMO Aerolite will be good value and able to compete at and above its price class for on demand vapes. The YLL team has been developing this vape for the better part of two years or more and have made many improvement as well as learned valuable lessons from their other models during that period.
Recognizing the power hungry needs of an on demand vape, YLL chose not to cut corners and instead upgraded the unit to accommodate a larger power source. Replacing the removable 18650 in the original model to a removable 7100 battery in the current model is a substantial improvement and a big plus for users!
If all goes as planned, the Aerolite could be one of the preferred portable vape buys of early releases in 2025.

Funny that in the comments there are some people saying (just based on this super short video), "This was supposed to be the TM2 killer, and it clearly isn't.". LOL
Some people want it to be that. I don't think anyone involved in it's production has said that is what it is supposed to be. Plus, how can anyone tell from one quick video if it is or not. The crazy things people's minds do.....
Definitely not a review video, but for my tastes, it looks pretty cool to me!

It would be nice to have only convection in on-demand mode and some conduction in session mode. Otherwise it's the same as the TM, just with a timer.
Maybe one for outdoor, I'll wait for the reports. The TM is out of reach for many, so the Aerolite is a good start.
One question is whether the steam will be cool enough, the TM is also struggling and a lot of work has been done on stems by others.

While I thought I finally had VAS under control, I must say I am interested. Given how happy I am with the Angus Enhanced and the TM2, this looks really yummy. To my old eyes, it looks like the bowl has gone way wider and flatter than the AE. For ideal convection, that is what you want. A lot of area, not so much stacking.

It's possible that the bowl may look different because of the smaller and less wide body, compared to the AE. I'm under the impression that it can use the exact same glass from the AE, so I would think that means the bowl is the same size. Though I suppose it's possible that the bowl is different, but the part that the glass attaches to was left the same. But wider, I would think, would use wider glass.
Hopefully we will all find out soon.
