This is what Kyle from VAPORNATION wrote to me:

"Thanks for your recent order with Vapor Nation.

Please send us a photo copy of the Credit Card with the last four digits fully visible for verification, you can block out the first twelve digits for your own security.

So I did and blocked out (is that the proper fraze?) other significant information and facial pictures.
I wonder what would happen if the shipping address was different than my ID address?

@b0
I cant see Elevape on PIU website.

Does a Polish ID card even have an address on it? As far as I know that's just an American thing.

It sounds like people are starting to customize their esv experience with coil placement as well as coil angles now. While the software can provide more temperature options, it seems like the real magic is in customizing the coil? Alas, mine is gone but before I sent it off I found a jeweler's screwdriver and grabbed the coil off of it, since when I mentioned it would be unprotected in transit Joe said it would be disposed of anyways.

During my troubleshooting session with him, I got to see the coil glow. I can see how the thing comes to vape temps instantaneously. That coil really lights up red, and it really made me want to try my esv out! I can tell that sucker is fragile too, hard to see with these old eyes to work on, and easy to screw up.

Other thoughts from the bitchy guy that hasn't gotten to try his esv out yet lol.

I wonder if the stir lid is worth it, as it takes a bit away from bowl volume(?), and if you just load that same 'bit' less with the regular lid you wouldn't have to stir (room for a shake or two).

I like the magnet feature. I could tell it's a pain in Joe's rear atm, but I hope he just makes them a bit weaker or maybe uses just one instead of two but keeps it. It seems to me that the issue is with the lid, the part that the magnet is attracted to is recessed just enough for the super-strong magnet to catch and be pulled from where it's glued to the body of the esv. This is why the lid can be a bear to remove initially, at least with some esv's. When I finally got mine off the magnets came with it and one of them went flying.

These are kinks to be ironed out, like the initial battery charge of some units. When they are the esv will be a force to be reckoned with, I can already tell and I haven't even used mine yet. I think it's gonna be a hit once a couple of things are ironed out, that it's a real sleeper and I feel fortunate to try one at this price.

Even if there was a snafu or two in my case :cool:

I'm glad your still optimistic grokit, as you already seem to know, the Elevape is well worth any headaches once you have it up and running.

As for packing the bowl with the stir lid, its been a while, and as I said I need to get back to testing with it, but I was able to use a fuller pack fairly well. I posted my results here several pages back if you want to check. I'll post once I try it again.

Full pack is the way for clouds, not necessarily fine grind (too fine will clog up mesh screens quicker, it is convection afterall). And again, it really is all in you draw, the coil is strong, but it is your breath that brings it all together so thats why everyone has it set up differently.

Also re magnets, I only have glue in the lid to hold lid magnets. The magnets in my body are pressed in, no glue (one is actually pressed in a little too much, and comes out the other side, but it doesn't affect anything at all)

Had to send my ID info to VaporNation once too, forget why lol

Very true about the importance of the draw speed and style. I can draw slow with a long prime at 315 and bust my lungs wide open or no prime with a slow draw speeded up at the end at 350 will produce almost the same result but with thicker vapor. I start with higher temps when I medicate in between sessions or I'm on the go, but I use my esv to session too now because it uses a third less material than my other vape. I had to do all random shit with my ID as well.

Did you have to send them a picure of your ID and credit card?
That's what I was asked for, which is a bit suspicious. I never had to do this before.
I had to do this with my bank once to start initiating international wire transfers. And I had been banking at this place (a credit union) for over 5 years at that point! It's routine for this kind of thing.

@Vape Dr. wich kind of screens have you used for the lid and over the coil? I want to order some for when I receive my unit :)
@b0 For the chamber lid use 2 screens cris crossed and for the chamber I use a fine-coarse-fine setup.

Until then you can look at page #39 post #961 for a "bottle cap" screen design you can DIY!


It works best with the finest screen you can find!:tup:

So you use 2 screens in the chamber lid and 3 in the chamber? MAybe I didn't understan the "fine-coarse-fine" part :ugh:

Edit: Any links to buy that kind of screens from ebay sellers would be apreciated ;)

That is correct my friend! A fine-coarse-fine in the chamber.
You can find up to 3/4 fine and super fine stainless steel screens at your local hardware store. I believe the screen I used for the bottlecap is a 5/16th screen.
If you need help or have any questions, please don't hesitate to PM me.

If you didn't order a screen retaining ring removal tool, I have a post of a DIY tire valve stem that works great!

It's on page #38 post #936

The lower the coil the more room for variation in draw speed without fear of combustion. And remember to be careful when dealing with your coil. Also order accessories before you need them. 3 oven screens help extraction a lot. Being neat when packing and stirring and eliminating the mouthpiece screen will open up the draw. Keep the sensor dust free and the chamber screen I like to clean after every bowl if I can.

Looks like i just got the last one from Vapor nation:), I,m glad they had them on sale this cheap. The regular price is over what i'm willing to pay for a portable without removable batteries.




I noticed Vapor nation didn't have coil's and other needed extras. The only place i found any was from the manufacturer, Is this the only place for coil's at this time?



I also forgot the app isn't even for android or anything i have that's pocket portable. I recall seeing a early 2015 date on that a while back, But is there a more solid date for this now? I'm kind of screwed on temp adjustment till then, Also what are the CURRENT 3 preset temps? I have seen various temp claims on the factory preset. The manufacturer site say's 335, 355, 385.

I bought my accessories from the ipuff website and just received them today. I didn't receive an orange Oring with my original. I bought the accessory package, a new chamber lid, and extra coils. Testing tomorrow (accessory package came with 2 orange orings and a black one). If the accessory package usually only comes with 1 orange and 1 black, thanks Joe for throwing in the extra orange. I PMed joe yesterday and told him about my lid situation and didn't have an orange with my original package. I have no idea if what I just said made any sense, long ass day.

So if I receive mine with a black print I should ask for an orange one? What's the difference?

The orange O-ring is made of a softer silicone, that allows the lid to be opened and turned easier. If you have the stir lid attachment, the orange o-ring is necessary.

Looking at my new Elevape, something didn't feel right when ppl said fill it up to the silver in the chamber. I have no silver ring in my unit??? I don't know if it's excluded because of problems but think it would be important (maybe it retains heat for more vapor?). Maybe it's for measuring the amount. I PMed Joe and will let you guys know what he says. Any ideas why it might be left out on purpose or if it was just not included? I will take a pic of my unit and see what you guys think.

as far as i know it is black but gets silver after using. i discussed this earlier in this thread. as far as i can remember its intended so, so you know you have a brand new elevape with time and opening closing the lid it should get silver... as far as i understood...

aren t you getting good clouds?

mine is one its way shipped on the 10th hopefully will arive soon (usps pritity international) to europe...
