Hey folks. Let's liven up the discussion here shall we.
I'll go first.
Hy my name is, well I guess it's over there on the left. and I'm addicted to vapes.
Actually no I'm not I own, one and it's the one that corresponds to this thread.
I've owned some before. Arizer Solo, for some years, great fun that was, whist I was still really excited about weed. but after a while sucking on a device for 12 minutes, waiting for it to heat up was less fun and less convenient to smoking. I then Got a Boundless CF, which was faster than the solo but still a session, and cleaning was work, also not as good taste, device did not feel good. not bashing Boundless, it's a good product just not the one I wanted. sold that. smoked for a while. realized my lungs did not like me smoking, realized I like having my lungs be happy with me because they help me breath. realized breathing is important, so important I do it all the time, even now.
And now I'm here, with a ESV 2.0.
Two things to note about me right now. this is my first on demand device, and my first convection device my first tastes of convection all together.
how's it taste you ask? Meh... not to worry though don't blame the vape blame the bud. which is old and shit. and not even magic convection can make old shit taste not like old shit. I do get to taste though, more than I ever have before, it's just not very good. Not to fear I will make it one of my missions tomorrow to purchase some better material.
Now I had high expectations for this device, couldn't help it. I tried, but nope my explications were high. how has the device lived up to them? It's like right on the cusp of surpassing my expectations.
The good first.
- On demand is the shit. it's amazing it's everything I wanted it it be. it's prefect. the the absolute utter shit. it's so great. it's the best thing ever. it's really really good. Instant on devices are the best devices. it's great. I wish my mom was an instant on convection vaporizer. my brother too. this frog sat on my desk, his favorite thing is instant on convection. it's true he just said so.
- The thing is well built it's a good size and looks inconspicuous if that's important to you. it's a nice size, it feels good in my pocket. I like to hold it. it fits well in my hand. the material is nice. it's very solid apart form a rattle sometimes when I shake it not sure what that it, might be the weed.
- All one self contained unit. magic compared to the sold. I take it where ever I want and it's easy to do so, grab it, place in pocket, go. it's the thing that drove me away form the milliana, a magical unit I'm sure (I still want in the RBT cult, Thinking a Zion for the summer) but 2 piece is not portable, not to me. Speaking of self contacted I enjoy internal battery, especially with mini USB, means a power bank can be used which means power where ever I, camping, skiing, don't matter I've got the battery. speaking of which. the life is good I think I need more time to make a true statement but I can tell you it's not bad.
- vapor not much to say read the other thread they nailed it, cool smooth, n tasty. never cough never once.
- convection, is great I love learning it. learning to feel and taste the vapor. learn what type of draw results in what type of hit. it's rewarding, to learn and once I've got it nailed down this unit will be even better.
This brings us to bad.
It's not dialed in perfect yet. Biggest problem is my coil. Heres the scoop. During shipping my coil got moved around. the outer ring was lower and offset. called Joe and we talked. (again the other thread was right, good guy) about adjusting it. I made my attempt and I'd say not much has changed. Still a hotspot right in the center. That part will get black the the rest is yellow or green the further from the center you get. I'm confident we will fix this, as I know the unit is cable of working in a way where the heart is even through the bowl. that's how it was designed and that's how it works for many people.
If I can get the coil working right, and my bowl heating even then I can really start to perfect my technique, with that this unit will surpass my expectations in the best of way. I'm hopeful this can happen.
Other things to talk about.
So my coil came messed up and I have to fix this. I spoke with my dad telling him this and he said why don't you have them send you another one. this gave me an interesting though. On one hand he's right the product came not as shown and that should be fixed. the thing here is who's doing the fixing. sure I could send it in have Joe do it. but that costs money and time. the thing with the ESV is I can do that myself. the question there is am I happy about that or not. and the answer is I don't know. tinkering with the coil was interesting. I like that I can fix it my self, put time and effort into my device, learn it and grow with it. I like that I don't have to send it in. the flip side is that paid 300 dollars to sit with a head light and tweezers playing with a small bit of mental for 20 or so minuets.
just something I'm thinking about all that, not sure how I feel on it, pros and cons. such is life.
I'm going to link some photos for yall to look at.
