Well, I don't need it, but I caved and placed an order. It just looks too good to pass up. Thanks to @vapen00b for the discount code and to @khelek41girl for the real-world video review.
Had similar concerns. A simple search for ‘tungsten toxicity’ will uncover numerous amounts of info on the potential health hazards. Tungsten has the second highest melting temperature of all metals and why it was/is used in incandescent light bulbs way before neon and LED lighting were introduced. Tungsten is a good choice for repeated heat up and cool down cycles.The description of the chamber on dotleafofficial says "Chamber is made out of ultem casing and a ceramic inner chamber with a tungsten metal heating element."
I couldn't find much information about tungsten as a heating element for vapes. There are conflicting opinions re the safety profile, some say it's toxic, some say it's basically inert and is safer than SS with no chromium or nickel which makes it a better choice for those with nickel allergies.
Hopefully I'm not breaking the safety discussion rule, but I'm curious about what others think since I've never heard of tungsten being used as a heating element in a dry herb vape before.
The silicone case you mentioned is made by JoJo. Great company. I’ve bought many of their mod cases over the past few years.
Yeah I think I have the updated parts but I’m not a 100%Interesting lid o-ring! Mine is white. Mine must be an early version then, serial number in the 1XX.
@Easywider could you make a pic of the oven place without the oven in, pointing your camera at the o-Ring under the mouthpiece gasket?
Looks like the DotLeaf discount is over! I was toying around with picking one up and noticed that the code no longer works.
The native mouthpiece seems to be a bit longer.Oooh grats on your new dotleaf. Did it come with a different mouthpiece than earlier versions, too? I'm curious about the differences.
Great . Can you compare dotLeaf vs Tinymight?Just got this guy in the mail. Came really nicely packaged with the pelican style case. It's smaller than I had imagined really stealthy.
So far I've done a session(3min ) on lvl2 another 1/2 session on lvl3 and another 1/2 on lvl4. The taste was great, I much prefer it to some of my other ultraportables.
Here are some photos of abv and size comparison with some friends.

Edit: I filled the chamber fully then tamped it down to 50% and filled it full again, weighed it at 0.15g
@Easywider Very nice. The whole kit looks to be first class. Question: Did you stir to get that even roasted results on the AVB?

VaporDNA has 4 left in stock at 9:33pm with a 20% discount code NEWYEAR20 to make it $128.
First thing I did was to order a pipe style 510 mp I think should work well ha. Would metal mouth pieces help reduce the heat or just heat up themselves super quick and then make it worse?Looks like both the mouthpiece and the case are longer. Mouthpiece should make for a slightly cooler puff, though of course it's 510 so we can all pick the mouthpiece we like best (unlike most vapes).
With a fully charged 18650, I went through 2.5 full (lightly packed) bowls until the battery died.The past couple days I wanted to "stress test" the battery and maybe chamber by heating up for a few puffs each time. Basically heating it up to Level 2, and taking one or two before shutting it off again, and doing cool down pulls each time. This started with a fresh oven and charged battery.
Even with all that, the LED turned blue right about when the oven was about done. I went to Level 3 and got a handful of clouds before the load had no more. Not sure how much is realistically left in a battery with a blue LED level. Maybe another session or two?
While I'm sure you could conserve battery by doing back to back sessions and not letting it cool down, the last time I tried that I greened out. Otherwise, even doing full sessions of back to back clouds, it's been almost exactly "One complete oven to just past Blue" which is consistent and handy.
Use the DotLeaf however whenever and 1 Load=1 Batt, and you get seemingly endless clouds from both.
@marduk Good catch on that discount!
@Easywider Thanks for laying it all out there. Looks like both the mouthpiece and the case are longer. Mouthpiece should make for a slightly cooler puff, though of course it's 510 so we can all pick the mouthpiece we like best (unlike most vapes).
Let's me use this little guy again (though I have other tips on the way)
I find the heat from level 4 native to be comparable to max temp on a grasshopper, it's hot and harsh but you only need to take a 2-second draw for a satisfying exhale so it's really not too bad especially if you like to hit MTL.

Its next to impossible to combust with the Dotleaf. You can even use it on temp 4 in boost mode, 15° additional, and it won't combust. I live on temp 4 lol. That said, I did combust once, but that was my own fault. I stopped it mid thermal cycle while in heat up, and it screwed things up until I popped out the battery. At that point, it reset and has been fine since.I've been afraid of combustion on 4, but now I'm totally trying this.
Also, don't forget that there are mouthpieces with airflow control in them that could help cool down the vapor if youre worried about that. I've got one and it works great!
You know, the one that I have came from a very old Arctic Fox tank from 2014, but I know there are still some on fasttech.com.Are there any airflow tips you’d particularly recommend?
