Alfa Vaporizer by goboof

Looking for a bag myself. There's also this (video shows an ascent inside) which looks prit-eee nice http://www.ryot.com/index.php/ryot-smellsafe-packratz-m-cr.html but I'd also like to find something that also would hold my SCS grinder.

No i have not heard that before. I have heard of a few people complaining that the wheel was a bit loose though for a few and when they put it in there pocket it would sometimes turn on accidentally. The fix was to wrap a few strings of fishing line between the wheel to stiffen it up.

The wheel just pushes onto a spindle which allows it to turn to any of the on positions or off. It acts as a gear or cog but does not effect the operation of the unit…..

Take care…..Frodo

I'm considering getting a portable to use when I'm outside. Is the alfa good for use with three or four people? Also, I'm wondering how much material can fit in the oven. I saw somebody mention .15 grams. Is that the maximum?

 

[snorcan]

It may work for 3-4 people with low to moderate tolerance levels. And the chamber could probably had up to 0.3 grams easy, but I haven't packed it to the max yet. Great for out and about though!

^Exactly! Plus the iolite/wispr2 packing tool fits perfectly in the bowl area around the pin and really lets you get some weed packed down in there!

Just got mine and plugged it in, showing solid red. However when i turn it on (still plugged in), there are no green lights. Do i have to wait or should these lights come on immediately when plugged in.

 

[Custom Flower Hardware]

Mine takes a while to turn green when charging but the sessions seem faster because of the inside out cooking. It can surely keep up. never tried it plugged in yet.

Thanks for the info! I'm stuck between purchasing this or a mighty. I'm leaning toward the alfa because of the smaller size though.

Hi, I think Im going to send my alfa back to Goboof in Ireland as I feel I will get better service and parts. I got mine back in October and the heater has never been strong enough.

For anyone that has shipped theirs back, did Goboof pay for the return label?

If not, what is the cheapest way to send from the USA to them? So far fedex is the cheapest at $56 but thats way too much for me.

Thanks!

Looks like Goboof updated their website and apparently they updated their highest temperature setting (according to the user manual you can download) to 428f or 220c

I didn't think it needed to go any higher but hmm maybe they have some plans to come out with some concentrate trays . I think usually higher temp is good for that .

They actually lowered it from 230c/246f to 220c/428f

Oh nice guess that was not the plan. I like high though for finishing off .

Could you send me a link where I can buy one of these? I've been looking for something like this. Do you mean the iolite hand tool?

Any chance I could get a picture of yours? One of the whole packing tool, and one of the inside/packing part. And if you can, a pic of it in the alfa chamber. Thanks, and its fine you can't send pictures. I just wanted a better idea of what I will buy before I spend money on it.

 

[Custom Flower Hardware]

Sure. Post later today. The dragon vatra case is perfect for the alfa too! Ill post a pic of that too

How smell proof would you say it is? Because the website doesn't say anything about the Dragon being smell proof.

its smellproof. I dont think they market it that way though almost seems like it would float if dropped in a pool.

Thanks so much! So the fatter end of that packing tool doesnt fit into the chamber around the pin? Only that small end? Also that case looks perfect. I'm gonna get one myself.

 

[Custom Flower Hardware]

Yes. But the fatter end is the best vape tamping tool for a lot of others. The case makes it James bond like to me! The tool is metal also, Very durable.

Would the Alfa fit into one of these bags? https://stinksack.com/shop/10-black-quarter-bags/ or maybe even https://stinksack.com/shop/10-black-eighth-bags/

Ha! I just received my Alfa in the mail and it just so happens that the merchant I bought it from actually threw in both those smell proof bags (what a coincidence). The Alfa fits the quarter sized bags but not the eighth sized bags (unfortunately)

 

[7EON]

Hi @2 Paces ,

I am having the same exact heating issue and was wondering if they fixed the issue or sent you a new one. I actually bought mine back in November (first batch I think) and its always been an issue but didnt realize how bad it was until I tried someone elses brand new alfa.

Do you think I should send to gotvape or just deal directly with Goboof. Any other advice would be helpful.

I dont mind if it takes 2-3 weeks as long as I get the latest and greatest version.

Thanks,
Jose

What exactly kind of heater issue did you have?

 

[funkyjunky]

hey,

i always keep my alfa in this container

smell proof and a good fit,there is limited space for other things like pregrounds,picking tool,...

its $5 with plenty other containers from ikea:
http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/60149673/, its one of the three down right on the product page.

I use a Case Logic Digital Camera bag. It is perfect fit and can also hold your material , charger and packing tools . It looks like a mini backpack , i also use it for my other vapes as well - http://www.amazon.com/Case-Logic-DC...1432916844&sr=8-8&keywords=digital+camera+bag , if i am trying to be super discreet about it i use my Bose earbud's case that my headphones came with and i wrap my headphones around the vape and put the aux end of the headphones into the mouthpiece , looks like this and you can see the case in picture 2 - http://www.amazon.com/Bose-Mobile-I...&qid=1432916979&sr=8-15&keywords=bose+earbuds
