Hey y'all
Over the weekend my Epic came. I wasn't a beta tester, just a very early purchaser. Had some hiccups with PayPal delaying the processing of the order, but I've had that when paying new vendors before. Andy was great getting it all straightened out.
First impressions - first off, I have to say (as is obvious from my vape list) I am not a whip-vape user. I have owned/still own quite a few older whip units, like an E-Z digital, Natural Goods Digital, and a Vapor Tower. But these days almost all my vaping is through glass. It was quite easy to cobble together a water pipe adapter for the Epic - just an 18 male to 18 male. Used the small cup-screens as a sort of bowl, as the adapter I have won't hold a screen inside it. I just fill the cup-screen and use the flat ones to cap them.
After 2 days, I LOVE this thing. It gives big, beautiful, yes, even Epic vap-bong hits. Better taste than many vapes that create comparable clouds, and more efficient than the ones (like the VHW) that make wonderfully tasty vapor. And for me one of the best things- I was able to take ABV that has been run through other vapes, and on Boost get additional big, tasty pulls from it. And I love how quick it can heat up. I haven't been able to use it at five minutes, but after 10 minutes on Boost it's ready to crank. And another impressive thing - it's one of the only vapes (along with the Arizer Solo) that all of my combusting friends like. They all like how it looks, how fast it gets going, and the taste and ease of pulls. A few are thinking about ordering one.
Only thing I don't like so far is how small I need to pack, because of the way my jury-rigged adapter works. Working on one with a larger bowl. It also works great without a water pipe or whip, just using the glass stems from my LSV.
Anyone know where to find an 18 male to 18 male that will take a screen in it, so I can pack it like the whip is packed for this?
Will post more later after a week or so using the Epic as my daily driver.
