Did imgur not give you url, sorry I'm really interested in what exactly wasn't working for you.

 

[cawshook]

nope, i tried everything. the only way for me to take a picture and post it is to plug my phone in the computer, download the image into photo bucket. then copy & paste the URL.
Too bad,I have so many great pics on my phone I want to share but that's too much work for me.
FC should have an app like grasscity. Its much more phone user friendly. and pictures are easy as can be to post.
sorry guys.

Try postimg.org
I do it all the time.

Ok, let's not derail this thread any longer with image upload talk. For the record, I could never get my imgur app to work with my imgur account and I just gave up.

Vape Dr. you can email the image to me for now and I'll post it. PM me if you want to do that.

Feel free to start a new thread about image upload issues if someone would like to continue this discussion.

If anyone is interested in acquiring spare mouthpieces my vendor is selling them @ $2.20 each. In my opinion this is the only part of this vaporizer that is likely to need replacing.

Ceramic In.


Ceramic Out.

@Adobewan Who did you order from and when?

@paytonpenn Followed @Abysmal Vapor and used this one:
Zoe <zoey@smokjoy.com>She does 50 + 25 dhl
Jasmine Cao (sales43@smisscigarette.com)
$140 for two shipped. Ordered early Monday am(late Sunday night)and received today. Haven't tried them yet, but within the hour!
Have been charging for four hrs so far while my mouthpiece soaks in ISO.
Regarding silicone smells, if ISO doesn't do it, try coconut oil. Works like a charm at removing smells!

Regarding the mouthpieces, Looks like you guys are tugging your silicone loose from the metal carriage. Wasn't sure that was cool, but glad to know!

<Edit> Sorry guys, just pulled the silicone mouthpiece off and sure enough there was the dreaded ceramic screen.

congrats guys, you've managed to triple the price within a single week!
i've also send smiss an inquiry a few days ago and now they tell me, if i don't order now, they will raise the price, too, since it got so popular the last few weeks :/

Let them.. I think i know few other sellers with a stock that big.. that it would hold that price for at least an year more... LOL.. China is a big country

 

[mrweed]

well, i thought the original manufacturer is smiss...
however, all sellers on aliexpress and co have nearly tripled the prices, now
so i think sooner or later they all will raise the prices, just because they can

classic economy: Demand determines the price.

i'm just not sure if it's really worth 125$. i could easily buy a firewood 2.1 for that

There are many better way to spent 125 $ for sure.. than buying this vape for sure ...
Having in mind its airpath... and lack of warranty

Still only $71.43 shipped to US from Yacyamike on DHgate, but when I bought on Monday they only had crappy colors left, no black, silver or blue, so make sure you inquire first if color is important to you, I ended up with 4th choice, Green:

I spent 99$ on mine and as long as it isnt dead in 6 months and based on perfmormance as long as it isnt dead in 6 months this was one of the best smoking tool purchases i have made.

Couldnt be happier with the performance end and at the proce point i purchased at it was woth the gamble on product life.

Did i mention how easy this thing looks like it will be to keep clean. After about 12-13 chamber loads i havent had to do anything other than dump it out

 

[mrweed]

like i said, if you pay 100$ or more for it, you should definitely think about the firewood instead!
definitely the saver solution, imho. even if i haven't tested the flowermate yet

 

[caliwisp]

Hi Folks!

Intriguing little gizmo. Has anyone who has one tried packing a glass one-hitter or similar small glass roasting tube (presumably with a screen) and inserting it into the heater opening and using it that way, kind of like a eNano or HI? Does the thing heat up without the supplied mouthpiece screwed in (and does it heat up with the oven door closed by any chance)?

If it did work that way you could forget about the mouthpiece and use the backside slot for herb storage and use it like a newfangled modern-day dugout.

Thanks for the input those of you who are on the discovery team!

 

[lovinlivinlife]

Does the thing heat up without the supplied mouthpiece screwed in (and does it heat up with the oven door closed by any chance)?

Yes it does heat without mouthpiece screwed in. I am sure it heats with oven door closed also, as there are no switches/sensors attached to oven door, but I would not try it because i do not think the plastic the oven door is made out of was designed with that heat in mind. (Not exactly sure why you would want to heat the oven with the door closed though )

You definitatly gave me a few ideas with the glass mouthpiece comments that I will have to try out soon and get back to you on though.

Thanks.

Haven't tried the Vapormax yet (arrives today) but second the recommendation on the Firewood (currently having a Memorial Day discount of like 20%...see the forum thread for Firewood). Made of wood with a glass vapor path, in USA and ships fast. There is a learning curve...how steep depends on your experience.

[Adobewan]

I'm still seeing it at the discount price, and after a session last night, it sure seems like a winner.

Nice size, good weight, very easy/fun to use and provides excellent extraction. Be sure to soak the mouthpiece in ISO and rub it down with coconut oil.
I've wanted a reliable "draw -> on" vape since trying the e-cig type devices that employ that operation, and this is it.
I am tempted to pick up two or three more to gift out, just wondered what the consensus, of smarter people than myself, is on how healthy the internals are.

At this point, I'm glad I got two, love the unit and saved a couple of bucks on shipping.
Unless there is a bad report on the internals, I highly recommend this economical little unit.

 

[mrweed]

"According to our clients advice, we will raise retail price end of this month," email by smiss

but yes, i was wrong on dhgate they are still cheap, while it's 120+ on aliexpress only

 

[Adobewan]

congrats guys, you've managed to triple the price within a single week!:/

Yeah, that was malicious of us to buy and test the vape.
Our plan to raise the price is working! MWU-Ha, ha, ha, ha!
@mrweed Email Zoe <zoey@smokjoy.com>She does 50 + 25 dhl.
Good luck bro!

 

[mrweed]

sarcasm...bro!
i just wanted to spread the news, that the price will rise
it's actually very rediculous to believe...
oh wait, i hate you all for buying a vape i don't have

 

[caliwisp]

@lovinlivinlife Hooray, mad science strikes again! Good luck with your experiments and we look forward to hearing your results. I was thinking if the oven door were plastic it wouldn't be a good idea; if it were metal then of course the heating time and process would be more efficient with the oven door closed, like when you are roasting a big juicy turkey .

 

[Egzoset]

Salutations CaliWisp,

...if the oven door were plastic it wouldn't be a good idea...

Maybe overheating never was an option when the manufacturer designed it in the 1st place.

 

[VaporsVaporizer]

Just took my first few hits and wow!!! I just found my perfect travel vape Works perfectly and cheap enough to just leave it and not worry about customs or TSA I'm getting a few more for Europe

 

[Kaptan]

I couldn't decide between this one and the new Elevape. After reading the last couple of negative reviews on the Elevape, I place the order for the FM. I'm looking forward to testing this one out.

 

[Mr. Gweilo 420]

Elevate is around $300 right? My Vapormax was delivered for only $6o. Not sure if they are in the same class to be honest Kaptan. But I think you will be satisfied. I used the Vapormax eveyday this past week for a lunchtime car session. It really did the job but it is certainly not a heavy hitting portable IMO. Hope you enjoy it man
