Updated impressions the next day:
- Not everything's positive - my Type C charger doesn't work, I don't have a C port on anything so have only tried it with Wall Charger, it won't flash red. If I use the data cable I can charge it from computer or an android block plug. I will send @Haze_Vaporizers a pm
- You do need to dial this in with correct grind and personal temp sweet spot. I'm finding my best results are with a finer grind than my usual and higher temps - ymmv
- This thing definitely medicates well, no regrets there, nice signature so far
- I have gotten whispy vapor a couple times and also combusted once, so it's not foolproof. Combustion risk seems mostly at the end of a bowl when it's driest and with high temp setting and a hard pull.
- It's fun to experiment with the temperatures and LED colors
- Another negative, I have triggered the overheat shutoff (I think) while taking a long draw, it cuts off power and the unit feels hotter than it should. Doesn't always happen. Is it possible my seal is slightly off so doesn't always cause the seal issue?
- The loading/reassembly tool is very handy IMO
- I am impressed with the design of this unit, it seems very well thought out with nice touches such as the MP design with a slight tab-ridge to be able to pull it out of storage. The cooling airpath in the lid design is quite fascinating, I have not dissassembled yet but look forward to that.
- Overall still happy, I've had a lot of bad luck with portables, but so far this one is finding it's way.
Ok, may be able to shed a little light on a few of these.....
You got the charger right I think, it's defective or at least partially. I will say I was very impressed with the charging times. I was very excited to hear they went the C way rather than traditional USB-A. I haven't used mine for a while, but saw it sitting there last night, checked the battery and it was red, so I threw it on and it was charged up in about 20 minutes. I wasn't watching it or waiting, but I was impressed. That was using their power block and cord.
I had been using the same grind I always try to use, a shred more than anything, it helps with cleaning a lot of my vapes. The only thing I have noticed is that the moisture does affect it. All my stuff is stored with 62% Boveda packs both during cure and after, and it can take a hit or two to dry it out. Not unusual, but something to watch.
I agree with a lot of your other comments......
As for the overheat/shut off, I think it has a 10 second timer. I can take a slow steady drag at a low temp and it still shuts off then. As mentioned by a number of people, you can take your finger off mid pull without stopping the hit and push it again to complete. It's already at temperature so there's no delay and a 15-20 hit is very possible. I think there may be a reason for this, possibly just overheating, but maybe
@Haze Vaporizers can chime in on the dangers of this practice. Once I had everything seated properly, the only time I was looking for a longer hit was thru water when I was really going after it. Then again, maybe I don't have all of the facts of your situation, I would think there is some sort of temperature protection.
For those of you saying you didn't get all of your accessories (not including those who ordered thru second tier distribution, don't know what was included with your purchase) but they mentioned that the accessories were held up and would be shipped later.
I also saw a comment by a member here that they were disappointed in the leather sleeve and that they wanted to return the "plastic". As far as I know, they have only offered a silicone sleeve. I have one on order and I believe it's shipped so I'll soon know if I like it. Silicone anything can be hit or miss for me. Sometimes I love it, sometimes there's far too much play and it's a hindrance. Maybe I'm not remembering correctly........
I'm glad to start hearing more and more positive results for people. This could be the convection superstar that so many think the Dual was!
