Pen Imag Plus

[StonedPerk]

I live in Europe and nobody carries this vape in online stores here, at least not that I could find, so when I ordered back in October, I had ordered directly from imagvape.com. Its a bit more pricey at $120 than from the retailer mentioned above. Plus I payed 5 for express shipping, which was well worth it, because it was in my mail box within 3 days! On the customs form they declared a worth of only $30, so I didn't even have to pay any taxes on it. So in the end, it was faster and about the same price (if you account for the custom taxes when ordered from the US) to order straight from China, than it would have been to order from a vendor in the States. Just a thought, for those of you living in Europe ¨


ps, I lost my Imag+ mouthpiece the other day. Jup sucks, I was on a ski lift having a vape, all was well until the mouthpiece popped off and fell 10 meters into a snowy tomb...never to be found again. Previously I had dropped the Imag a few times, the mouthpiece on its own a few times also (has no roll guard, wouldn't be a bad idea to add one), and the MP had taken some damage. It had a small crack in it, and so it didn't hold as snug as anymore, that's why it fell off for no apparent reason. But still, its pretty amazing, to think that I can sit on a ski lift in the middle of the Alps at -3°C and have a high quality vape session at the click of a button. Despite (the now lost) low quality MP, the Imag+ really does its job very well. Until losing the MP, I have been using it daily since October and it has always delivered and done what its supposed to do. Most people that try it, want to purchase one and ask me where to get it...then I tell them, wait until February, it will be worth it

Why February what's in February?

Why February what's in February?

They have scheduled a release of an updated version - with new "twist and secure" mouthpiece, around February. Mass production still not started yet, and given the date of Chinese New Year - I would rather say March instead. Phantom V is exactly the same as Imag+, just rebranded for marketing purposes. Note, that it is the older version, main difference is the mouthpiece, the heating element, and enclosure material. Newest carbon fibre version is also slightly smaller, thinner than older ones.

yesterday we test Imag using tobacco and it was quiet strange smell, something like honey.
Didn't smell like tobacco at all....well after a while we all did smell bad, but we vaporize in close room with smoke sensors

I am using it with tobacco, and I have to say I am loving it! I use exclusively pipe tobacco, two mouthpiece for two different flavour (well, one flavoured and one unflavoured). Dry cigarette tobacco is useless, it is nothing but a carrier material of at least a dozen harsh chemicals, rolling tobacco also tasted weird, so for an alternative of smoking you need to familiarize yourself with real tobacco first
The cut size is also important, as I have tried home-grown tobacco semi-humid, rough-cut and dry, fine cut is two different worlds!

You probably smelled honey - because you smelled the real fragrance, and tasted real flavour of tobacco first time - thanks for vaporizing it, not burning!

 

[CumBustion]

yes, it was interesting experience, and i am not a smoker at all, i just vape various herbs from time to time. it was definitely better smell than cigarettes

 

[little maggie]

Yea you are absolutely right. I guess it's more of since I just started vaping coming from combustion I brought my first vape which was a firefly and I stand by its side any day cloud by cloud but I wanted to know what it was like to have a vaporizer that was all glass more less so I can see how the taste and cloud compares to my firefly. Also because firefly isn't really to discrete because of the window but I have VAPED while around cops inside gas stations and they never even real is ed they did look because of its beauty but never said anything, btw I'm in a state where weed is illegal lmfao anyway so yea just wanted something a little more discreet but puffitup sold out they were selling them for 170 so guess I'll look into imag plus since it is newer than the phantom v cloud premium cause of new copper chamber and ceramic filter in mouthpiece for 69 bucks so guess I'll get that but surely isn't gonna taste like a glass I guess but will be discreet

From reading the reviews of the version with a ceramic filter I'm glad I have the earlier version. It's still available but for more than the $59.

 

[StonedPerk]

So older model is better? Hmms. Wells I think they are gonna send me a review test sample kit so if they do I will do a full review on my YouTube page. My yt is Wavy Vaporizers

No, I don't think it is. Ceramic heats up lightning fast, much faster than PI heater version, also "taste" better, and only few ppl feels uncomfortable draw resistance, I use mine with the ceramic filter piece taken out, and extra screen placed between MP and heat chamber, one word - perfect.

Yeah I would have to agree. I'm one of the persons feeling the draw resistance and I wouldn't say it's worse than the draw resistance on the original Imag +. The new mouthpiece alleviates the past resistance that was sourced in the MP (using an extra screen like Gibarian mentioned, which I also did with the original). But in my opinion (I might be the only one thats experiencing this) the actual unit feels more resistant due to going from 4 air holes in the original imag + to 2 in this model. That's not to say I'm not getting vapor clouds. When I have it on green, and inhale deeply I can get properly medicated after two ovens. I'm pretty much used to it after having the vape for a while. The problem is when I'm introducing it to friends they have a tough time getting vapor. It's a device that I like and know works, but when trying to show it off the audience is usually disappointed with the output. My friends don't use vapes too much, so it could be attributed to that, IDK. It's interesting seeing the stark differences in experiences with this device. Some are saying it's awful, some are saying it's steal for it's value. I'm pretty much in the middle as of now but I still think the new model is an improvement over the original. Albeit, not a giant improvement, but maybe my expectations were way too high.

So weird. I get vapor on blue and large clouds on green. Maybe a video is in order. I wont be able to vape for a week or so but will throw up a video. My friends all love it

 

[Meach]

I also have friends that can't get decent pulls from the unit, and they look at me in amazament when I exhale of course a joke about my sucking skills follows..lol I was wondering if placing a basket screen in the bottom of the chamber would help with the airflow that has worked wonders for my Boss vape..I'll see if I have a moment to tinker with it tonight

nice. I swear I want one. Just wish they left it where u can switch out the battery

I asked to Imag about my review unit since I don't get it yet, they told me they already send 18 units but they are making some improvements before to send the last ones:
"...Better insulated air path;
Improved electronics and circuit to ensure battery performance;
USB ports are better fixed..."

I don't expect to get it before the next week but maybe....

nice. I thought I was dreaming when they said they would send me a review test kit because I never had any company send me anything before I asked 5 different company's and they all said no politely lol. So I went off and just brought my own firefly and did a review. Just finished buying a seego vhit2 and a evod 1300 mah battery so I will be doing a review soon on that and finally viola blessed me with a email from the imag company to inform me about getting a review kit so I feel blessed and excited but I'm guessing I won't be getting mine the same as yours thanks for your update because it helped out my update considering the fact that I haven't even asked them when it will come yet I just been letting it be. Idk but I think I might buy a crafty to review but not sure yet don't know if it's truely worth it's price being same price as a volcano.

 

[Vapenic]

I am getting the same updated one, hopefully very soon. The improvements made making my heart beating faster, lol.

"...Better insulated air path;

Isn't it sound like a song eh? Can you hear it? "Better, oh yeah, better insulated air path, whoa, improved electronics and circuit to ensure battery performance- whoa-hoo"

Can't wait to review mine whenever it decides to get to me

 

[CHIDOY]

So I find that I've been switching from my solo and imag every day. One day with the solo. The next day with the imag. REALLY like alternating between them. I'm not sure how much more improved this new batch will be but it HAS to be better right?

 

[mmenzie]

i am still waiting on mine to arrive. i was told it was to be sent but still have not received a tracking number. i am going to be patient and send an email next week for an update

Is yours supposed to be shipped soon like Gibarian? If so will likely be there before you send an email. Took like 4-5 days to get to me. DHL is very fast

 

[mmenzie]

isn't it always my luck..... i open my mouth on how it has not shipped and i wake up this morning with a tracking number email from Raymond. so it is on its way i dont suspect it will be in my hands till late next week at the earliest, most likely early the following week. thanks Raymond!!

 

[Shit Snacks]

Yeah I got the email today as well, mines on its way. No mention of any updates, but if airpath and usb is improved that's a big win? I guess we'll see, my expectations are rock bottom as lately my pure convection portables have been spoiling me for conduction...

Which "pure convection portable" is your favorite if I may ask?

 

[Shit Snacks]

Which "pure convection portable" is your favorite if I may ask?

I mean its basically between Elevape and Firefly at this point, and hands down Elevape, made the right choice in buying way before the FF.

My friends Daisy is pretty incredible too, so as a more portable version I expect great things from the Lily, which I may be buying sometime soon.

T1 is also great, but batteries very limiting, so its much better as a home plug in unit with the PA, and also WPA which is how I use it at home. I guess might as well round off with underdog as old reliable, also great through water and great home unit overall

More than likely you guys will get the one I'm getting with the updated copper chamber with that ceramic filter inside the mouth piece. BTW I just got my email for the grasshopper to order either the 135 version or the titanium one for 185 which is the superior one idk if imma order it cause they are expected to start shipping in may and damn I'll rather just wait for others to receive them then post reviews before I actually invest that 185 but by then it'll probably be mass production at 260 a pop, that's just my thought though

Copper chamber?! Can you post a pic for us please? PLEASE?

 

[olivianewtonjohn]

Mine is on the way as well. Improved vapor path and reinforced usb. They are sending me this because of my other one (usb pushed in). Very nice of them to send it.
