I sent an email, the black oven no longer works I'm guessing the last combustion event killed it. Its doing the blink error of no oven.

With all of the effort they try, don't think I can stand behind this product. It works when does but all of the issues seem much more effort than worth. Repeated efforts to reach out sometimes returns quick action, most times reminiscent of Tiny Might for me.
For those with continued success great, but see too many inherent issues and temporary fixes that don't solve anything.

It sucks so much that you guys still have problems. Mine never lets me down. I had a couple combustions like a month apart, and yes it made me sad and untrusting for a few days. But then it just keeps hitting and never quits. This is especially true once I figured out what causes that. All I can say is get it swapped out if you have a bad one. Maybe some circuit boards are bad IDK I don't work for the company.
I've said this before, and I'll say again, it's an inexpensive vape. For $160 USD, it outperforms the competition. They say with davinci it's 90% pain 10% vaping, and the dotleaf is like .00001% pain the rest of it just the best vape life holding your emerald box of joy.
@dotleaf_Alex don't forget @RobbIt I think they need some attention.
Also dotleaf, give us some carrier options. Furna has this whole slick carrier system, plus a single cover that comes in the package. But the dotleaf oven is literally half the size of the furna oven, thus more portable.
I searched unsuccessfully around for the right silicone bands to make these pocketable, then came up with this. Those throwaway jars with the silicone insert. I just cut the bottom out and it's the perfect size to hold dotleaf ovens together very securely. It even covers the airport on the cap to keep things clean.
But I'd like a stealthy keyring case or something.

It works with issues and $160 isn't bad especially for performance. I won't push back at them but I am sure the silence is due to the volume of issues. It needs some work maybe more than some of the higher priced ones out there.
Maybe its strategic to see what works and version 2.0 will be the one.

4's a gamble in my opinion. Sometimes I'm unsure if I've combusted or the weed's just too toasted. If the alternative wasn't bong smoke, I'd be disgusted by the flavour.
Try cleaning the unit, or at the very least blowing into the chamber. I took mine apart and put it back together plus blew into it a few times to get out the little bits, or at least trap them in the ultem, works well. I think my combustion has mostly disappeared and good vapor returned? Seems like if the bottom gets too clogged it can cause the oven to overheat. DotLeaf's official solution is to buy more chambers - fuck that. I'm running these ovens into the ground.
I just completed going all of February without buying any weed, and even though I had to unexpectedly buy a dotLeaf less than two weeks in I'm very happy after feeling like I was just buying so much in January. Put in an order for 21 more grams, I'm hoping it lasts me until the fall. I was able to cut my consumption down pretty dramatically, and I'm planning on holding out to a soft limit of 2 and a hard limit of 3 bowls a day. At some point I'd love to get it closer to one bowl a day and just session the same bowl twice. I'll be experimenting with this over the next couple of days, anyone have anything to say on the strength as it goes through sessions and temperatures? I'm estimating one session at 2 and then two sessions on 3 or 4 through water.

I popped off chamber cover (just lightly pulled each corner) and there is a second piece I removed. Dumped iso in, shook it up, did 2 burn offs at setting 4 because even though you pour out iso seemed t be residual iso or something in there cause I could hear bubbling. Chamber tastes a little off now but its working.
also I'm talking to alex in emails for past 3 days, he is being very helpful and its much appreciated.
Conduction always eats up material faster in my experience, convection is the best for me when trying to conserve. I def couldnt make 21g last until fall, in the past I was making a quarter of 30 to 35% THC last a month but most months it ends up being about a half o.

Woops, no idea why I said Fall, meant 4/20.

Alex is sending me an updated device with new firmware to fix my issue. So they are actually working on getting issues resolved. The guy seems swamped so just try to be patient. I had a really good talk with alex (almost an hour talk) he asked alot of specific questions about my device, likes / dislikes.
So it seems to me they are trying their best to make dotleaf a serious contender for your dry herb vape dollars. I think they just had unexpected issues with some models come up that didnt exist pre launch.

Completely agree shopdognyc! And contrary to others, I expect ALL new devices (including ones costing $160!) to work correctly without requiring continued instructions from the company about how to band aid design defects.
Having said that, I give major kudos to Alex@Dotmod for his willingness to make things right!
Wonder if you can replace just the board instead of replacing the entire unit? Please keep us updated and Thank You.

The black ovens were a temporary release, they’ve been replaced by the tan ovens. AFAIK there’s no actual difference between them.
Thanks! are these the tan ovens? https://dotleafofficial.com/collections/all

Yep! Those are the ones.
Are you by any chance using a screen inside of your ovens? I think the holes in the ovens are fairly large and on my first oven noticed that debris would get in to the interior of the oven. After that I started using a stainless steel screen. I’ve personally not had combustion events on my newer ovens, and wonder if that might contribute; perhaps debris throws off the resistance reading or something, idk. This is pure speculation, to be clear.
Oh awesome! what size screens would you suggest?,

Oh, I just grabbed some screens I had in my kit and cut them to rough size. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful
maremaresing

The oven is 9-10mm wide, so that's the screen size I'd use!

You want it to get stuck at the bottom of the oven, though (at least I did, less annoying), so I’d go a smidge bigger.

We love questions, pretty sure nobody knows yet. It doesnt use a 510 so it might be safe, its all very up in the air because how the ban is worded.

If a device that is supposed to enable inhalation of a substance into the human body isn’t fully tested and ready, the device manufacturer shouldn’t release it. At a minimum that fact should be fully disclosed to prospective retail purchasers.
I’m not singling out Dotleaf by any means, and they have been responding responsibly. This is a serious problem in a mostly unregulated industry that serves medical cannabis patients as well as Rec consumers.

never wanted to beat that one ;)
Just a shot in the dark, but maybe your batteries aren't juicy enough? Because performance seems to be so weak in spite of every other report.

Hey guys my dotleaf from vapefiend turned up today, I knew about issues people have been having with them but perhaps didn't realise how common they are. I love the look and feel of this thing but feel I might be doing something wrong, getting wispy hits and almost no extraction on highest temp with boost on, tried 3 different batteries in the thing but no luck, running out of things to try, wandering if anyone could help?
Cheers.
