+1 My imag plus from 2014 had the same. I am pretty sure flowermate,x-max and divine tribe have similar heating elements. I wonder what material is the insulation of the leads. It is not that bad of tech though,although the shit companies put around it makes me sick.. I remember early flowermates had toilet paper and capton tape all around it,lol

Yeah, the DT Gen2 had the same style heating element, I had one of those a few years ago. I liked the mostly ceramic build, though custom software like this device uses would definitely lead to a better and easier user experience, IMO it was the 10 second timeout on box mods that made the Gen2 finnicky to use.
I have seen this tech plenty of times before, but this is the first device that I have seen where it's not cheaply made, and has a focus on quality, safety, and customer service.
Even after early personal experiences resulted in some amount of product failure, and other members experiencing the same?
To me, it seems a bit premature to declare the quality and safety - while also currently waiting on a replacement oven to be mailed to you.
My very first vape was one of those cheap Alibaba/AliExpress/Fasttech type devices, and it melted within a week. Having used both, I can safely confirm that the DotLeaf is not even remotely in the same category...even if the tech might be similar. Also, keep in mind that an ecig company is making this, and not charging top tier pricing like some other companies. The issues of cracks and combustion are very real, but as all communication with DotLeaf has indicated, they seem to be listening to what people have to say about it, making the improvements, and are maintaining quality customer service .
Well I was specifically talking about the generic heating element, not complete vaporizers available from Alibaba, which I doubt any member on this forum would suggest, much less one who has been on this website as long as myself.
Also if a product happens to have a design flaw, it's generally in the best interest of a companies reputation to remedy it, particularly so in this competitive world of internet driven product reviews and consumer feedback we live in. Good reviews helps sell units, which makes money. Parts breaking doesn't make for good reviews. Economics and such.
True it may be the same alumina heater, but there are many more parts than just the heat maker (scientific word
) to a vape, no? Otherwise a hebe titan = mighty
Sometimes there are many more parts, but in a conduction design where the heater and the bowl are the same part, you're kind of locked into those vaporization dynamics. That's really why conduction stuff like this needs good software control, which DotMod is already pretty well regarded for.
