Well, I've had my Flowermate CAP for a couple of weeks now. So, it's time for a review!
This vape is one of the easiest electronic vaporizers to use on the market right now. 5-clicks on, 5-clicks off.
The only other two controls you need to know is while on, 3-clicks to change the heat setting (low/blue, medium/green, high/red). And finally, hold the power button down for two seconds to put it to sleep and enter standby mode, and hold the button down for two seconds to wake it up out of standby mode. This turns the heater back on after it shut off due to the session timer running out as well, which a lot of reviewers didn't seem to realize.
I have nothing but good things to say about the above simple operation of this vape. It's super simple for first-time vapor users, which will make it the #1 vape that I will recommend to my friends that ere new to dry-herb vaping in the future.
I've been using this vape to get medicated almost exclusively for the last couple of weeks, both at home and on the go. I really wanted to put it through it's motions and use it in almost every situation that every-day use could call for.
I should add that I live in an unfriendly state in the USA, so discreteness is very important for away from home use, otherwise I could completely lose my freedom. For out and about use in recent times, I've been using a Fury 2 for some time now. This vape is so much smaller and easier to conceal than a Fury 2, and it heats up faster. That means a shorter time for me to heat up, take a quick hit or two, or three...and then put it away.
The CAP has a decently wide-open airflow for it's size as well. Though, you still need to control your breathing during a hit, as pulling too fast can lead to less vapor production. But that's perfectly fine with me, as I much prefer a wider open air pathway where I control the airflow speed, rather than a restricted airflow path that restricts the airflow for me. This is especially pertinent when I am not sessioning, but rather taking a couple quick hits on the go and then wanting to cool it down so as to not waste vapor. I can basically heat it up, take the first hit of whispy vapor as the herb in the chamber is heating up to temp. Then the next hit is good, thick vapor. Then I 5-click the button to turn it off, take a third hit that is still good vapor, then take one or two long fast pulls to cool the chamber down before I pocket the vape again.n This method can turn any conduction vaporizer into an on-the-go vape that more resembles a convection vape in that you can take a couple quick hits and put the rest away for later.
One thing I would like to see for this vaporizer is dosing pods, like the ones for the One vaporizer which I use in my Fury 2. Pods like that just make swapping out a fresh bowl on the go so much easier, and they tend to keep the vape's bowl and screens cleaner for longer. I don't care about pods for at home use, but any vape that's focussed on discreetness and on the go use like this one is, should have pods to make on the go use easier.
Battery life is also always another important aspect in these smaller vapes. As there is not much room for much of a battery. Of course, the ideal best is always a user removable battery, so one can keep as many charged batteries on hand as they like, and just instantly swap out a dead battery for a fully charged one and keep on vaping. But I also recognize the difficulty in designing that into such a small vape. That being said, I get a good three bowls out of a charge in this vape, which gives me enough time to charge my vape in my bag in between highs. So, the battery life hasn't really been an issue.
So, we've talked about ease of use/control and battery life. The next thing to mention is vapor quality. And I think that this vape has very good vapor production and taste for an electronic vape of this size...hell, anywhere near this size. It's not as good at preserving flavor as a pure convection vape (pure convection may not even be possible in something this small), but it's quite good for anything in this size and price range. I get some really good taste for the first few hits. I think that this may be due to the short chamber length, and the zirconia air pathway, with the spiral cooling chamber, that does a surprisingly good job of cooling the vapor in such a short air-pathway as this vape has (about 7/16 of an inch). Of course, the flavor quality goes down on the final few pulls to finish off the bowl, but no more than normal with any conduction vape.
It's bowl size appears only slightly larger than a Dynavap tip's bowl. About the same width, but a tiny bit longer. I've found that I can loosely dump in herb and still get decent vapor, but it performs best with a full bowl that tamped down just a bit. The little stirrer/tamper that comes with the vape does this job very well. When I'm out and about, I tend to cary my pre-ground herb in a Jyarz Classic, and I just drop that little scraper/tamper down in the Jyarz on top of the herb. I use it every time I empty the bowl, and every time I lightly tamp down a new bowl.
Finally, this vape is now my preferred on-the-go vape. It's palm-able, pocketable, and easy to empty/refill on the go with it's lovely magnetic removable cap/mouthpiece. It's simple/quick easy on, easy off, with a nice 15-20 seconds heat-up time that really is as fast (if not faster) than the manufacturer claims. It's button-controls are so easy that someone who's never used a vaporizer could easily use this vape on the first try and beyond.
Now, after all that I like about this vape (and there is plenty to like about it), it's time for any criticisms, recommendations for improvement, etc. that I may have after using this device for a couple of weeks:
First, I wish there were pods, for easy and fast swapping of loads on the go.
Second, I wish the mouthpiece had some extra layer built in for keeping the outer plastic cooler to the touch. I've found that I only get satisfying vapor when I use this vape on max temp (red), and the plastic mouthpiece can get quite hot to the touch near the end of the first bowl.
Third, I wish the battery charged a bit faster, as I only use it on the max-temp (red). I've found that I don't get satisfying vapor on either of the two lower temps for my taste, so it would be nice to get back up to a full charge a bit faster in-between.
Those improvements aside, this is a fantastic little vape for the niche it seems intended to fill. Possibly the best for that niche (discrete, fast, and easy to use for on the go). I am very appreciative that
@FLOWERMATE OFFICIAL allowed me to try this little vape, and I look forward to seeing what they come up with next.
That brings me to another plus for this vape, in that Flowermate is a well established company that has been around for a while, making products that many love. This means that they will probably be around for some time, and will be there with their reputable customer service in the future if you do have any issues with your vape.
One last thing that I forgot to mention is price. This vape appears to be geared to sell for half the price of what I would consider it's closest competitor (the Fury 2), and at that price-range, it makes it to be a vape that I recommend for both new users and old users alike. I think that most vaporizer users would benefit from having one of these in their collection.
Happy vaping everyone
**edit**
One final complaint that I somehow forgot to mention is that this vape can get quite smelly when not in use. I like that my Fury 2 has a silicone cover that cuts down on that (though it does not eliminate it). Though, a silicone cover that fits tight enough on this vape may pull the magnetic mouthpiece off when you remove the cover. So, I think it would be a good idea to have an airtight case for this, either case that opens like a book (similar to one of the tiny Pelican-style cases), or a sleeve with a press-0n lid that seals with o-rings. Either would eliminate the smell when not in use and in my pocket or bag.
That is all.
And I would at least like to get high even if my expectations shouldn't be 
. My recommendation is to review user experiences and do even better next time. IMO Ceramic moutpiece or glass would be better.Also for the chamber housing better use glass ,ceramic or metal around the chamber instead of plastic,that way you wont have people complaing about smells. Take a look at the Divine Tribe V2 herb atomizer ,it is mostly ceramic with the plastic parts position as further as possible from the heatsource.
B Back.
