Volute of Vapor
Sorry for the back to back post but this is my full review now: WOW!!!
The packaging is nice, it comes with a charger, 3 pipes wipes, 3 toothpicks, 3 screens, a replacement mouthpiece and a quick userguide(unit was already 50% charged).
The size of the Alfa is smaller than I thought, my 05 seems a bit big inside, dimensions are 4.7cm X 8.7cm x 1.9cm (without the mp) and it fit in my palm better than others vapes I own.
I like the design with the selective button, the body is made of plastic and make me worry at first...only!
The bowl is on the bottom of the unit àla Pax, the lid is a bit awkward to close but it can't open in your pocket itself.
About performances now, I packed it after a quick burnoff since I can't detect any bad smell, there is a hole in the bottom of the bowl for the vaporpath so I choosed to put here a little piece of bud (not grinded) to prevent to clog it and added a bit of grounded flower for a total of 0.12g not really tight packed.
I turned it on (mid level) and after a really quick heating time (comparable to the 05) the green light stop blinking to tell me the t° is reached, taste is decent, I feel the flower specificity, clouds are here (not the bigger but enough for a portable) and effect are strong, I finish the session at max level where the vapor is a bit harsh but cloudier).
I tested too the automatic mode heating by puff and it will be one of my favourites way to vape on the go, I'll test the other automatic mode soon.
It becomes very warm in your hand but not too much
Abv comes out fully vaped but not really dark, my 05 or imag plus gave my a darker abv
I can't speak about the battery since I only done 3 sessions of 15mn with it.
pro:
- size
- design
- automatic features
- heating time
- can be used while charging
- efficiency, it kick my ass!
- decent taste for a conduction vape
- vaporize ungrounded flowers very well
cons:
- bowl door seems easily breakable
- load/unload is a bit awkward
- mp don't fit any 18 or 14 mm joint, i use a 14mm straight dome to connect it to my WT
- stem could be clogged if you grind too fine, maybe a screen with a hole in the center for the heating pin could help...
- I think it needs a lot of cleaning, especially the stem between the bowl and the mp
- there is a dead zone on the top of the bowl (fresh air entrance)
It looks like this unit get is place, the alfa is the stealthier unit I have for flowers, it miss only the convenience of use of the capsules of my 05, but it's a great unit for a stealth/tasty/efficient purpose, automatic features are really amazing!
Price is really interesting, I think you need to find a way to test this little bad boy, Pax fans will be amazed and the others too!

but I'm someone who can't enjoy a vape, when I have the feeling that I could poison myself, while using it. The main reasons why I hate on the Titans for example btw. Nobody knows what happens with your lungs when you're inhaling plastic fume over a very long time, without recognizing. Especially the manufacturers don't, since they simply don't do any research.
- compare these two in terms of efficiency, clouds, bang? Much thanks!
