Well the charge just means he may have a bad battery. The pictures only make me more sure that it is identical to the 05. They have the same boards, same ribbon cable, same heating elements and same chamber.
Some of the posts seem a little sensational, so I would like to look into it myself.
Ya the only difference I am seeing really between the XP/G3/INH005 is that INH005 has a black casing for the heater chamber. Guessing it is also plastic.
With regards to off-gassing I am not sure that it wouldn't also happen with the INH005 since with the XP Pharmacor said not to run with no material as you could damage the chamber. Since the inside of the chamber looks pretty similar I would doubt that has changed.
I also think that smiss manufactures the INH005 and has probably gotten some flack from Pharmacor for the G3. Wouldn't be surprised if someone said that they wanted 50+ units if smiss would sell them to them. Guessing they may have just been told not to sell to individuals to shut down the stream of info online until the INH005 has been out for a little while. Otherwise they might just be trying to limit it to certain countries where the INH005 doesn't have big distribution.
It just seems a lot more plausible that a factory made a different tube/cap than a different company sourcing a bunch of parts to copy a vape that isn't that popular and then trying to market it as a whole new vaporizer. Seems like it would be easier/more profitable to just make pax clones.
Anyways I am not that bummed about not being able to buy a G3 since I was never that stoked on my XP. Maybe if I could try someone's INH005 and saw it was a noticeable improvement I would try to get a G3. Probably going to get a Vapormax V for a cheap vape instead.
