Long time lurker first post...about to pick up a portable unit been debating between the imag plus and the flowermate...aside from the mp on the imag plus I don't see any reason not to pick the imag over the flowermate. So not sure when the updated version w the new mp is going to be available and I'm impatient as well so I think I'm gonna grab one soon..those who are making mods to the mp just a couple pin hole pokes will improve airflow? And does the firewood glass stem fit snugly into the imag plus? Thanks
Don't know about glass, but five pin holes in a honey comb shape will work to keep it cleaner. You can use it as it comes for a little while at first though, before the holes get clogged. That's when I made my mod.
Taste is much better than the FlowerMate, and it has lower and higher temps than it, USB charging, and more discrete (if you want to disguise as an ecig). FlowerMate crushes on battery life though (at least the original fixed temp does), and it works fine if you get one with good build quality that doesnt taste off persistently (can be tough to get it replaced if that happens). I gave one of the early models as a gift in may and its still going strong, but another early model (no glass mouthpiece) bought more recently definitely has some sort of defect, and no hope for replacement. Maybe the newer 3temp ones are better, but their temps are poorly chosen (imo)
So Imag battery life isnt great, but its enough for a few separate sessions (like a few 3 min sessions, and a few longer sessions), and especially since im not reliant on it as my only vape I haven't really paid too much attention to that. Would've been great if they kepy the replaceable batteries if the original. I also primarily use blue, only bump up to green to finish it off, or if with group or in need to be quick about it. Helps preserve taste and less harsh vapor, and i likeow temp effects. Still wish green was the highest and there was a temp in between. Actually ideal 3 temps for herb would be 360/380/400F in my opinion... Other than that, still going strong (all 3 of them)
Can't wait to see what
@Ed's TnT comes up with for a mouthpiece/Wong, that can solve all the mouthpiece problems and keep the original going strong even longer
