Which is what brought me to keep looking for one for out of the house. I will continue to use my DV at home as I do love it. I have to call Tim about how to hook up a T1 to many options to choose from.
I've found this model to be very stealthy. The general public, including a lot of LEO's, are clueless about vaporizers, and no one I've shown the DV to could believe it was a mj delivery device. The build quality throws 'em every time, along with the 2 way radio appearance.vorrange said:The DV works great out of the house ..... It is stealth enough that i can leave it at plain sight
Okay so anyone know how I go about returning/exchanging this thing if I ordered internationally? I'm assuming it can't be shipped back across customs given it's used now as well...
I loved it at first assuming the taste would go away, but after a couple weeks and a lot of use, the thing still smells NOTHING like weed when it's running, maybe a faint hint but mostly a nauseating smell. If I take a deep enough inhale through my nose when I smell the straw hole I literally gag, and the taste is awful as well not to mention how harsh the vapor is.
I've had over 10 friends try this thing, none of em liked it SOLELY because of the taste and smell...
I also don't like the high compared to what even my MFLB gave me, it's too heavy and my thoughts get cloudy as fuck. I feel as though I'm inhaling a little something extra, because smoking the same strain leaves me more clear headed which is unusual. Trying a big dose in the MFLB tonight to compare.
Really hoping I can get my money back or at least exchange it for a new one to try to return at a LHS here.
Don't let anyone tell you that plastic taste should be acceptable or is a compromise b/c it is not acceptable. There are vapes that hit much much cleaner than a DV, check out the arizer solo too.
Anyways, the weird highs were attributed to vaping with that specific strain I'm relieved to say, the MFLB had the same effects as the DV in that regards.
As far as the smell goes, I'm not sure how I feel anymore. I did a HUGE sesh with 4 buddies last night strictly with the DV, and the only negative comment was "It still tastes like cheese."
I've got my hopes up again somewhat for this thing, I'll give it a bit longer to show me what it's got.
Apologies again for the overreaction up there, I would edit/delete it but apparently there's a time limit to do that here :s
It depends on where the plasitic taste is coming from and if it's from the mouthpiece/exterior, it depends on whether it bothers you or not. You can't get the best of all worlds from any one vape, and that's a fact. The Solo, for one, is a portable, but not a pocket portable. It's a flat out compromise between a home vape and a pocket vape, and there have even been taste complaints about that model.subliem said:Don't let anyone tell you that plastic taste should be acceptable or is a compromise b/c it is not acceptable.

good news to report actually, just received my replacement unit from karma, this model is not having any of the bad smell, and compared to the plooms of vapor coming out of my old model. After turning it to max temp could only observe a tiny thin wisp for a few seconds then it was gone. Been sitting at max temp for a few mins now no bad smells. No fumes. Thanks for the free replacement even after having the old unit for after the warranty expired. Never less I alread found my perfect combo of vapes, so this new unit will most likely end up in the classifieds in the next few days.
send a pm to the rep, or just send an email to support. I went through my retailer who spoke to karma and replaced it no questions asked. I told the rep I was throughly isoing everything and then provided me with a prepaid label. Iso the screens and qtip the bowl. Depending on your balls(not being sexist), I went ahead and told the retailer I used it for bud and he said him and his boss did too, and to go ahead and clean and send it. So I don't know what will exactly work for you. But if you must returning all I guess I'm saying is iso is your friend.After reading this I'm kind of inclined to request a replacement unit, because I just cleaned mine and after 5 burn off runs a visible vapor is still coming off at only 385...
For those of you who have gotten replacement units, how did you go about contacting the company? Did you PM the rep on this site or go directly to their customer service department? Did any of you send in a used unit?
Most importantly, when I'm contacting them do I mention the fact that it's been used with illegal substances, or just pray I won't be asked to return it? Because I feel like straight up telling them gives them more reason to tell me no :S but now that I know there are new units that have essentially no problem with smell or vapor I would like to try and get a new one.
I'm really liking this thing but the fact that the mystery vapor isn't a standard "feature" makes me nervous so if I can get one without it I'd be very pleased, the taste/smell I can deal with now but I'd like to be safe rather than sorry when it comes to what I'm inhaling.
Long time lurker, first time poster.
I'll give the folks at DV credit that they are trying hard to please. My first vape was of the 0A1005xxx version, and it produced the "mystery vapor", quite heavily, new out of the box at temps above 390 F. I cycled the battery until completely drained, twice, and then did several more burn-ins off the charger with the visible vapor still appearing. So, I boxed it up and returned it with the requested info and received a replacement unit (apparently somewhat older, as the serial number starts with 0A1003xxx).
The replacement performs visibly better, but still shows comparatively light vapors above 400 F. I don't see any traces of vapor at the default temp of 375 F, and am inclined not to go above that setting anyway, but a third unit is to be delivered tomorrow, and I will thoroughly check it out before returning one of the units.
About all that I can add to this discussion, that hasn't already been addressed, is that the vapors don't appear to be coming from the heating element directly. Rather, and I question DV's wisdom in this choice, it appears to be out-gassing from the rubberized coating applied to the deck around the lower chamber. This becomes visually evident when the unit is run at maximum setting, 430 F. The vapors are drawn toward the hot air rising from the empty lower chamber. Also, once drained (4-5 ten minute sessions) the battery takes almost 12 hours to fully recharge, which seems strange. It's as if the charger itself does not provide sufficient current to the batteries.
I can only pray that the fix (for vapors) is that simple, as I absolutely love everything else about this portable (OK, a removable pin-hinge would be nice, to allow easier access for cleaning).
I suppose it is glued or something like that. Mine can't even be pulled off.
Well that's frustrating...
OF... What's the trick to crack the DV open like this?
There's something I want to try, but I don't want a dysfunctional unit
