Glorg's facts are right. Your post is still up. I'll take the point to demonstrate that you explicitly lied by claiming that Glorg was "some stoner on the internet" when they literally quoted the post you typed. It isn't even taken out of context--simply quoting something of yours. If calling out blatant lies by moderators gets me points or kicked off the forum, then I will happily pick up and go.

If my calling attention to power abuses counts as "a little nastiness", I would welcome someone to educate me on how best to address objectively-false claims made by those in power, as I don't believe I've included any direct personal attacks and have exclusively worked to call out the particular behavior in question rather than the person. Staff works hard to create a safe environment for us, and I feel they dropped the ball on this issue, and those behaviors require correction for community trust to be rebuilt.

As for this thread: how utterly insane would you have to be to still buy one of these devices? The community surfaced a series of problems related to YLLVape including falsifying certifications and potential material safety issues, and in this very thread you have several folks who are being ghosted while attempting to get (often legally-required) refunds from the company. They haven't addressed their material safety certifications at all and at this point I wouldn't trust any teardown videos posted by YLL since we've seen a blatant willingness to lie about internal safety measures. They never addressed the Conformité Européenne certification that is claimed on their devices and which is alleged to be faked (and seemingly has no real verification). They never addressed some of the unspecified materials, nor did they address several users asking about a recall since it is now known that the device is potentially unsafe for consumer use.

For anyone on the fence and hoping for a teardown video from YLL: all I can say is your health is in your hands. If you feel comfortable potentially inhaling fiberglass fibers and who-knows-what-else that may result from other unknown materials, you are welcome to patronize this company. Many folks still smoke cigarettes (including me again lately), and I would argue that consumerism is similarly addictive to nicotine, so I understand how an addiction can lead people to make ill-informed decisions for their own health. Slainte and I wish you the best.

I did not lie, you (and @Glorg) misinterpreted the facts. Nobody asked me to close the thread, as I've explained several times over. Mike asked me to keep it locked until he could deal with it, but I would have done that anyway. There is a big difference.

The nastiness had nothing to do with me, it was members attacking one another. Read the thread.

Oh and @Glorg really is a stoner on the internet. So are you and so am I.

Point of fact: The "fiberglass" is NOT in the air path, it is wrapped around the air path. That is a significant difference.

My mistake! So sorry--the company sold us products with fiberglass that could easily get into the airpath as demonstrated by several posters in this very thread. Huge, dramatic difference. Like, the difference between intentionally shooting someone in the face and just spraying bullets toward a crowd and being surprised when one hits someone.

why did you remove all reactions on your post?

How many did you see before? I only see one from glorg, and I definitely haven’t had any weed yet today. I assume the others asked to delete their account or removed their react?

For the information of those concerned: moderators cannot remove reactions from a post, even their own. The only one who can remove or change a reaction is the person who made it. Can we please get back on topic?

How is your first impression? I think there where reports of rattling and reduced weight, does it feel different/cheaper?
Click to expand...
The replacement is about 43g (around that, I weighed it but then I got high...) more which is consistent with changing fibre for metal. There is a slight metallic rattle from the centre of the vape when shook side to side (but not up and down). This also seems consistent with the changes. It was not present on previous version.

for those interested, my replacement ae came today, by uni uni carrier. only base unit no complete unit. you need old battery doors and screened cooling unit to cap oven.
did burn-offs, 2x 5in @428f. new ae hits great (maybe even better than og), airflow is full open, less heat on the base at max temp. favorite heat setting is #3 out of 5. not tearing it apart. once shipped, it took 14days china to my house in deep south, usa.

After using the New Replacement Angus Enhanced unit for the last few days, this version, runs hotter than their og models.
i only get about 5 hits max to a .14g of herb, on the og mode,l i got about 8 hits for same amt..
my AE 'goto heat setting' used to be level 3 but now it consumes my herb more quickly.
it seems, the ruby balls appear more red in color than the og models, too.
i'm now going to use level 2 heat and see if i start getting 8 hits or more.
i'm wishing i had a heat reader gun.
i hope i'm not just seeing things. lol
has anyone else have a simular experience?

edit-- the outer case is more cooler to touch than the og too, esp. where the bulb is located under the shell. cooler feel is nicer in the hand on multi-bowls or 2nd session.

@seedy53 do you have the special cable to check the temps on the firmware? Maybe the temps on yours are changed. I remember a guy who told me he received a unit with higher temp and he had to set it on lower temps with the firmware.

i bought the program cable but never used it, yet. i might need to find that P cable and check things out, thanks for the idea.
i wonder if software detects actual live temp setting or does it assume what temps should be?

EDIT2-
The Stock temps on programing heat temp setting Have been reduce 20c on all 5 settings by yll.
1-160c
2-170
3-180c
4-190c
5-200c
wtf is going on?
should be 180c through 220c

@kokolokokolokon I am pretty sure that was @TigoleBitties with the higher than expected temperatures.

@seedy53 The programming cable sets the target temperature for each level. The unit is off (not heating) when these are set so it can't read the actual temperature produced. But... if the stock temperatures have been reduced, then you should be getting more hits before exhaustion, not fewer. It should be a difference in the bits used to detect temperature vs the OG, or you could have gotten a defective unit.

thanks yeah i get that but i'm convinced it runs hotter than og ae but the factory setting says it 20c cooler. something is different and i bet it's those stainless steel tubes.makes this ae run hotter.
do not think it's defective i think the steel tube insulation makes this AE run more efficient with less power and more heat in chamber

@seedy53 But if the vape is working properly then better insulation should just result in it turning off the heater sooner. It cycles on and off to maintain the set temperature. It sounds like one of them is not sensing the temperature correctly. 20c is a lot! Or maybe the new tubes make the thermostat read the temperature incorrectly? You think they would have tested and adjusted for that though.

@seedy53 looks sure that the fact it gets hotter on the outside is because the metal tube is not as good for insulation purposes than the previous material.
Maybe they have calibrated it again to compensate for the lack of heat retention in the tube (caused by the lower insulation)

Now I wonder what would happen if, inside the insulation tube, and around the inner tube, you put some silver collars (on the part of the balls and near the camera) :freak:
