Disclaimer: I never used other plug-in desktop vaporizers, only torch powered desktop and portable ones. I do have experience with the Dobby, Punch Mini, Glow 14/18 and Roasty. I test one of the first beta models of the Peacemaker. The ones that are sold now have aesthetic and functional differences. They also come with other bowls and accessories that I haven’t used.
The Peacemaker is Dreamwood’s first plug-in desktop vaporizer. It is basically an injector vaporizer with the Dreamwood woodwork around the ‘injector’. The injector is held in place with O-rings.
What I really like about Dreamwood is the versatility and that characteristic is also visible in the Peacemaker. Not only can you use it with the provided wooden bowl. It also has a wooden connector so that you can use it with a cooling mp and a domed screen like the ones from Arizer.
The wooden connector can also be used with a 18mm male glass part in which you can put a domed screen. That is why it is both easy to microdose and to use bigger amounts (with the wooden bowl).
Taste wise I definitely prefer it over the Glow. I don’t know what it exactly is, but somehow the taste seems to be purer. I also have a torch powered Elev8r, but haven’t used it once when I started testing. This means that the taste/user friendliness balance is great.
The Peacemaker extracts my herbs nicely. It can be used with or without balls. Without balls you need to stir it after one or a few hits for even extraction. I never felt the urge to add balls, but another tester said that the herbs vape a bit more evenly then. Stirring is so easy with those injector style vapes that I never had the urge to add the balls. Only if FC-members want me to try it then I’ll do that.
Any negatives or points of attention?
The injector stays sometimes in the beta wooden connector, but I heard that is a beta thing. The wood warms up, so waxing the wood might be a good idea. The heater is glass with kanthal wired around it. If it kisses the floor then it could break. Last point of attention: the injector has a domed screen on it to keep the heater away from herbs, debris and other things that you don’t want to get in contact with it. I think that it would be nice if the injector would be made fully from glass.
Is is important to note that the Peacemaker doesn’t come with a voltage supply. According tot be maker you can buy one for around 15 euros from E-Bay that works great. I use that one too and I have no complains so far. The voltage can drop a bit in the beginning, but once it has warmed up it stays nicely around the same voltage level.
To conclude: I really like my early beta version of the Peacemaker. I love the taste, ease of use, the versatility and the relatively quick heat-up time (few minutes).
I’m very curious what people that have more experience with other desktop vapes think of it.
