is this thing on?
Maybe go down a bit in Voltage, I find it's quite gentle vapor.
That won't be a problem for sure and you probably keep it.

Are you changing the packing to Canada to make things more uniform?Daniel deals with all of this. He always keeps us up to date. We have often been close to tears and just kept fighting. We believe in our product and in healing and pain relief. You will all get your vapos. We also have to change our packaging to USA and Canada from now on. I don't want to name any other changes here right now. We already have a solution for everything and are in the process of implementing it. Then no bank should have a problem with us anymore. So you don't need to worry. We will manage it and want to see all your beautiful photos when you have your Vapos.
The Vape mail ban by UPS, FedEx and USPS is not in effect in Canada. Perfectly legal to ship vapourware through the mail here.

I believe in you guys! Very excited to get my VB in April, but I can absolutely wait longer, if necessary. It'll be worth it.

We will send out a newsletter soon to inform our clients about the delivery time of the pending orders, when we will re-stock and what we are going to do to avoid problems regarding the vape mail ban. So i recommend to subscribe on our homepage.
Another thing that i wanted to let you know : We have the first Collylight seeds available
Sascha, a friend and professional grower has made a new strain called "Collylight". It was created in cooperation with Dr. Colly, he selected the phenotype and Sascha created a strain from it. The process is documented on youtube, check this video and the following ones : (germany only, sorry no subtitles yet)
There is no proper online-shop for the seeds yet, we still have to clarify some details to not harm any law. At the moment they are available for enthusiasts only. That means you have to do a donation to Dr. Colly´s paypal account, he is living in Gran Canaria in Spain and does not harm any law like this. If you are interested please write an email to Donalddenzler420@gmail.com and ask for the details.

So it looks like "Collyland" is gonna be the new Art of Vapor branding! Best of luck to you and the team, Daniel - this is a rough, unfair time, but we believe in you and will always support.

second hand unboxing can be quite unpleasant: apparently my used vapbong was home to a heavy smoker. even the box smelled hardcore like an old ashtray. so i had to scrub the whole thing, he combusted in there too apparently, because the bowl and the chillum was full of black particles.
now im heatsoaking it for the first time after cleaning with iso and hot water. after 10 minutes a 10.5 volt pull lead to no vapor at all, just some terps.
ill give it another ten.
i already almost let the bowl fall once while cleaning and putting it aside. its very fragile i fear.

Sorry about your situation with the used device. That can be super frustrating and I can already feel your pain.

thats sweet of you man. but im sure itll grow on me.
after 20 minutes more, still the vapor is very wispy, very little visible vapor and vaporpressurefeeling on the lungs, the abv light brown/green. can draw as much as i have air.
that was 12.4 volts. am i doing something wrong?

Hmm if you have it properly heat soaked at 12.4V and not getting clouds, somethings prly going on. My AVB would be black at 12.4V, if not combusted. It's been mentioned here before, but ambient temp plays a role (I've had to reduce the voltage since deep winter, from about 11.8V to 11V) and proper 'nut sealing' is crucial (sometimes it can be a hair off if you're not careful, not making a good seal. Make sure you don't see any of the unglazed part of the oven nut when it's on the VB). Obviously, herb quality/quantity are going to matter also but you should be able to get clouds at that temp even with a small load.
Proper nut sealing seems like it could be the issue in this case - def try to play around with that. If all else fails, could be a power supply issue?

The power supply is pretty cheap to replace. Only $19.99 on the Art of Vapor site.

Indeed. My first VB power supply was faulty (it would just shut off randomly). You can also find the same exact model on Amazon for cheaper and prly quicker shipping. The power supply might not be the issue in this case though!

I also suggest taking a look to see where the coil is positioned. I had to give it a tug with tweezers. I was barely getting any vapor at 11.5. After repositioning it, it's working fine now. I probably moved it while cleaning.

Man, pretty screwed up for a guy not to clean his vape before sending it to you. You are giving him some good money after all...
In my experience mine really needs close to an hour at a given voltage to balance out... at least on the initial warm up. Definitely a 30 minute minimum before I would consider hitting it from cold.
Also draw speed & amount of herb really effects vapor production. Although at 12.4 no matter what you should at least be pulling big clouds - if not completely combusting. Mine would be combusting at 12.4, no doubt about that.

Sucks to hear about the experience. If it's the power supply it's a quick / easy way to confirm it by ordering a replacement and testing it (can return to amazon if not). If it's the actual Kanthal / heater, you would need to send it back to AOV I believe for a repair.

well, the heating part is getting very hot, so its probably not an adapter problem.
my heating pipe doesnt seem to be properly centered though. i took a picture. but i dont know how to post it.
just how far down is the end of the heater inside the heating element in your vb? mine is about 1.5 cm away

I dont think there's really any part of the VB that can be 'replaced easily by the end user' (at least not the average user). The only part other than the ceramic is the kanthal wire.
Yep. Have there been any cases reported of repairs needing to be done (other than power supply or broken ceramic)? I wonder if the heater has actually failed for anyone?

Hmm I never bothered with mine, I mean when I first got them I tried and it didn't seem to want to move, it seems to fall wherever the gravity would take it, never felt like an issue to me... Since it is the entire heating sphere that matters most? Lately I also have been doing some whole nugs...

thanks Guys, that really helped. OK, so th heater position/disposition is normal. the Bowl itself, how hot should it get? what other vapor reducing factors could it be?

If the ceramic around the heater is getting hot to the touch, it's working fine most likely (the heater). I think a misaligned heater would give you vapor and a hot spot.
That points towards the nut not being set properly as my first guess. When you seat the nut, mine can rock back and forth just a little bit, but being off just a little can really change the experience. There were photos earlier in the thread pointing at this and what to look for. Some days I can drop in in and it falls into place on its own, others, I have to play for a second to seat it.
The other thing that caught me by surprise at the beginning, is how large of a draw it took to get things moving. It's a time vs strength of draw balance, the longer the draw, the less force it needs to produce vapor, and vice versa.

check out this post, the first couple of pics show what I would consider an exaggerated situation for the sake of explanation.

Based on everything you're saying, it really sounds like the ball bowl is not sealing up properly, either that or how you are hitting it (take a deep inhale for 5 seconds, big fast rip, ball bowl will not really get hot), unlikely you are loading it poorly enough for it not to work at all, pretty simple device! G'luck
