Yes, It says "Reported attack site". I use Firefox and this seems to be a common problem with buddah's site. I have been trying to order parts all week.
Anyone have the fix ?

you can always order from http://silversurfervap.com/index.php if your looking for parts that dont have to be DBV specific. and if you need DBV specific parts you could probably email them telling them what you need or order from one of the online retailers that carry the 7th Floor vapes/parts like here http://www.vapeworld.com/vaporizer-parts/da-buddha-vaporizer-parts . supposedly 7th Floor is working to fix the problem with the site.
hope this helps

i find the GonG connection to be a bonus. i have found that after some use with the GonG wand/HC you can almost wear down the connecting surfaces. for example when i first got my DBV it was very easy for the wand to get stuck as the GonG connection was new. i turn the bowl alot when hitting it and i think i have worn down the ground glass surface making it just a bit smoother. this makes turning it while hitting it easier and it also allows for hands free use when needed. i have noticed no loss of friction when the wand is inserted intentionally for hands free use.

Thanks everyone for your wand advice. I've been mostly taking it out between hits, except at the beginning when it's still warming up. I need to find a stand to hold the wand when I need to put it down for a few minutes; at some point I'm sure to spill the herb!
I ordered Da Buddha from Vapeworld on the 31 of August and there site said it would be on back order until the 6th of september. i never received an email telling me thr tracking information so i assumed it still hadnt shipped. i called them and they said that its on back order till the 20th now and there so out of stock at 7th floor, yet i have looked on other websites and they still seem to have it in stock including their own site. whats up with Vapeworld?

something like this isnt a bad idea, but if you tap the herb down slightly you can get it to stay in place pretty well. especially if your herbs are sticky and after you take a couple of hits. i set my whip setup down all the time and havent once spilled. i coil the whip up and this gives the wand and mouthpiece some tubing to rest on.
i know it says not to "pack" the herb in there, but my DBV works great when i do.

not sure. most people seem to think highly of them.
if i were you id look around, or even call, to see if any sites have them in stock and ready to ship. if so, cancel your order with vapeworld and place one with whoever has them. shouldnt be hard to find one somewhere online...
here they have both the silver and black versions

Vapeworld is the best IMO, here is their blog post from yesterday explaining why they still haven't shipped yet.
http://www.vapeworld.com/blog/da-buddha-vaporizers-and-mind-eraser-ssv-out-of-stock-still/
Wait it out, these guys are the best site I have ever dealt with.
yeah i have only heard good things about vapeworld but i actually contacted 7th floor and they told me that they are not out of stock and i could order from them and that they dont even supply vapeworld :/
also does anyone know if the packaging would be discreet through ebay? its kinda a concern

its hard to say for sure, but there is a good chance it would be.
if your buying it from a supplier on ebay then i would say yes almost for sure. if your buying from some random person then your probably fine there also.
i would just make sure to add the fact that youd like it to be discreet and im sure youd be good.
if its that big of a concern just have it delivered to a friends house who wouldnt care.

Great deal, VapeWorld really stepped up for you. Though they function much the same, I think at the end of the day you will be happy that you have their top of the line original product which they produce themselves in the USA, especially since you got it cheaper than the average bloke paid for his Da Buddha.

After almost two weeks with DBV, I'm totally sold. Great vapor! I have a question about the cord: I understand how ten feet could come in handy,; normally, though, I'm using it within a couple of feet of a plug. Is it alright to leave a little of the cord wrapped around the bottom, well away from the heating element? I usually have the vape on for only 1/2 hour or 45 minutes at a time, but want to make sure I'm not harming the cord with even the little bit of heat released by the cover. Thanks.

What are you, HIGH????

In my opinion you should be fine as long as you can comfortably hold your hand on the spot where you're wrapping the cord. I just let my cord lie in a bunch on the floor. That way I can hold Da Buddha for guests when they vape and they don't have to get up. They don't have to go to Da Buddha, Da Buddha comes to them! Wait, wasn't that a mountain and Mohammed? I dunno, I'm vaked.
Hi everyone, this forum/thread was really helpful when I was shopping around for Vapes! I got my Da Buddha a couple weeks ago off of ebay (new), and I was super excited for it since I'm a singer and really needed a less vocally detrimental way to enjoy marijuana.
That being said, I just can't seem to get the hang of my DBV. The first time I used it was with four people total, and it worked like a champ. we had it turned to around 1 o'clock I think, and we all got at least two good hits. But since then, I have not been able to duplicate the results.
I never pack the bowl more than a 1/4, ground and lightly pressed with the glass end of the pokey thing, and what happens is that after letting it heat up at highest temp, I turn it down to noon, and take a long, slow hit. I wont get any vapor, so I'll turn it up a bit, wait a minute, inhale again, and still nothing. The herb is changing colors a little bit, which leads me to believe we're getting tiny hits, but nothing like what has been described by most of you DBV lovers in this forum. I've also been stirring after every couple "hits" to make sure its vaping evenly. To get a good hit, I have to start with a fresh bowl and have the temp at at least 2:30, which is too hot because it darkens the herb right away and gets one good hit and then nothing at all on subsequent inhales. The whole experience lasts less than 10 minutes, and the really confusing thing is that the weed is going darkish brown, but I'm not getting high, and I know it's not the weed because I've smoked it with great results.
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, and I can't find any good demo videos online of what a good vape is supposed to look like, so I've got no comparison. My roommate is getting pissed off because she could just as easily smoke the weed we're using and actually get high, while I have my vocal health to worry about.
Suggestions?

my tips are just fill the bowl at least a little more, i think you get weaker hits if its underfilled.
also, i just keep the knob at 1 known good temp. if 2:30 is def too hot, just keep trying a little lower till you dont overcook it easily, but get good hits. (if it "darkens the herb right away" i say its too hot, i can go thru a whole bowl without getting it particularly dark and get high, could up the temp and get it more dark and a little more out, but i dont think that tastes as good)

Once again I have to recommend an ssv-type HC from 7th floor and a mini whip from vapor bros. I had trouble with the herb getting toasted when I left the hands free wand in too long. The mini whip will work with Da Buddha's original HC but with the ssv-type it ROCKS! A wandful of herb the size of a chick pea is good for at least 10 hits, more if you increase the temp. Plus it's easier to stir between hits which I feel is key. Here are the posts with links:

I know it sucks spending another $50 but it's definitely worth it.

I don't disagree with Cluffy... But before you spend $50 you don't absolutely need to try filling the wand a half or tad more and suck on the whip to pack it. Make sure the DBV is pre heated. Insert the wand and wait a few seconds. Then Sip the whip until you see vapor, slowly then faster. I get super milky hits @ 12 - 2 o'clock with a standard wand that way every day, about 12 rips on .3g.cluffy said:kaelalto said:Hi everyone, this forum/thread was really helpful when I was shopping around for Vapes!

The other thing to watch out for is shitty herb. The best vape in the world can't turn bad weed good and some grass smokes well but vapes poorly. Good luck!
