The heater is really powerful - I haven’t tried on demand mode yet but in session mode you could easily knock out the bowl in 3-4 big pulls if that’s what you’re after. I like to sit and toke on it for the full 5 minutes if possible so temp stepping is helpful there but I’ll need to play around with the airflow control to dial it in to where I really want to be.
At the minute I’ve had the airflow fully open because it’s so wide open compared to my other stuff that there’s a novelty factor there for now.
So far I don’t regret my purchase at all. I can’t speak to the cleaning yet because I haven't had it long enough for it to need cleaning, but there is a small brush included in the box that’s more than adequate for getting any left over crumbs of abv out of the oven or mesh on the cooling unit. I can’t imagine it being any more of a ballache than any other vape with this style of cooling unit though.
Battery life seems good and the battery is removable for external charging/swapping out on the go. Threads on the battery cover are smooth and it is easy to access.
It feels chunky but the texture on it is nice and grippy and even though it’s plastic it does feel premium. You will notice it in your pocket though. I normally keep my vape in a smell proof bag in a backpack anyway so not an issue for me. You’d be compromising on the heater and or the battery to make it any smaller I think and the trade off is worth it imo. I was worried it would feel light in the hand but it has a nice weight to it.
I’ll be having a half loaded bowl next so I’ll report back with my thoughts
So, who of the early receivers is willing to share (our make) some microdosing, low temp experiences, while EU folks are still awaiting their invoices?
When you say low temp what are you wanting? It was lovely at 180 if that’s where you’re at? Was actually surprised at the thickness of the vapour I was getting from it at 180 and the flavour was solid! There’s a lot of variables though, like I’ve commented above you could take 3-4 huge pulls and it would be spent at 180 and need turning up, or you can sip on it and get a full 5 mins on it.
It also does that thing S&B vapes do where it’s chugging so well that vapour keeps whisping out of the mouthpiece even when you aren’t inhaling cause it’s desperate to throw it at you
