Yes, but if your adventurous like me your on a same boat with me.
I'm expecting the 06 S, end of this September

Well if your more of a sipper and find your more patient.... the biggest thing most will notice when comparing the 05 and the 05"S" mod is the "S" mod will heat up much faster as well as provider more heat energy during your inhalation....
I don't think the manufacturer actually ever officially announced this to be the case..... {his shilling character did accuse us of being silly for ever listening to him in the 1st place} but he never came out and said we have to stop swapping batteries.... I think he claimed the consumer was to rough with the ribbon cable.... myself personally I try not to hold it or bend it back too far..... I very much want to be able to swap batteries and I'm so hoping they will do something to resolve this issue in such a way that we get to retain this feature.....
Now as for the INH06 & or 6S this is were the manufacture did say you can no longer gain access to swap the batteries....as I understand it the added "pointless" button has connections to the lower PCB so it has been removed from the feature's list..... everything else is the very same.....
"S" modification --> Kick ass --> worth it
Turbo mod --> cool operational effect --> debatable.....
I get the same operational effect using the dial manually and I get more control and variety when doing so......In all fairness though I haven't tried the 6S as of yet....therefore I'm able to manually "Pulse Extract" using my 25w 5 "S"..... so naturally putting I much weaker 12.5w contender in my hands with a cool convenient PE {Turbo} button.... not likely to WOW me all that much..... but it is fun to use... you can do interesting things to your inhalations.....size, taste, dampness / density....

I'm sorry but today I think I'm forced to post somewhat of a retraction with regard to all of my tremendous praise surrounding the "S" modification..... I have recently learned that the manufacturer has decided to alter the modification ever so slightly.....
Funny thing is how similar this story is to that of the NF over 2 years ago back when the manufacturer again had made what they felt was an ever so slight design change per his {NF's} suggestion, which was to flatten the wire that was wrapped around the chamber.....in hopes of reducing Hot spots.. well turned out to help with the "Hot spots" but at a cost to the vapor production....according to the consumer NF @natural farmer.....
Now this story is similar in that I {OS} had been pushing to get the manufacturer to look at installing a heat resonator of sorts to make up for the loss in convection do to the flattening of the chamber wire... well this prompted the engineer to install an entire 2nd flex heater..... and as I have posted here in this thread it was nothing short of amazing....quite the discovery....or so I thought.... until today after exchanging many many emails on the topic.... it comes out that they have altered the design ever so slightly.... instead of having 2 separate individual flex heaters the new up coming "S" mods.... which I understand to be any newly ordered 5 or 6 "S"...... will only have a single much stronger heater....
Well a little common sense mixed with time in with this manufacturer made me feel the need to retract any and all comments pertaining to the INH05"S" that you might receive going forward....as it is not going to be the same design that I received and posted here about.....
If you still have a working 05 "S" model.....then you have a one of a kind.....presently never going to be released again.... from what has been explained to me.....
I hope this opinion and attitude changes but currently I have lost all hope so I felt I had to come back on and retract everything I've ever stated with regard to the INH05 "S" mod......
I'm just more than a little confused by this
the "S" mod was so amazing the way it was..
I wonder will it be worse... the same.... or could it somehow be better..... sounds like way too much conduction to me.....
Good Luck Inhalator...... not sure it's the right call.....but GO TEAM.....

okay, well I'm late to the party here on this news. So I'm interested in either the 05 s and perhaps the 06s as well. I'd also award Inhalater with the consumer choice award for most design changes ever, but that only makes me want one of each.
I am sorry to hear though a bit that the 05 s is actually being changed and that I won't be able to get the same one as Old School only because aside from 20 caps due to sickness and being hell bent on gobbling those perma thingy ones, I'd have to say I'm always jealous and trying to keep up with the master.
You are the debater here and you own this forum, that I once in a while just drop by. Your on the phone with the manufacturer, whereas I'm in the bathroom rolling up caps, the same washroom we used to roll our joints in.
My only complaint about weed and all things that go with it. I'll have to think about quitting when it's not risky or might get caught.
JUST KIDDING, but I did have to mention that I have started RE-vaping pot to try to see if there was anything left in it. There was some success with that regard, but after one or two passes, not much effect.
THE FIRST TIME thru re-vaped pot seems to give a bit of a high actually, which is not bad

If you go to:
vapefiend.co.uk they are supposedly selling the 05 s.
I am very happy with the 3 I've purchased. I am going to get someone to help me put it up online somewhere so that everyone can see for themselves what a great time can be had with the INHALATER design that pumps out just enough vapor, without being too harsh.
I'm not sipping on the straw as some people do. I'm GULPING or sucking as much as I can at the hottest temps.
I preferably would have loved to have tasted the 05 s myself, but they seem to be discontinued. The good news for me though, is I should be able to find one overseas in the UK if need be.
I'm very happy with the max amount of vapor on the hottest setting...
ALL 3 vapes I have, the 004xp, the 05 and the 6 >>>> they all perform similarly. The 004 xp might be the top one, but the reality is the 6 has a feature that dials the heat back to make things a bit easier if not cooling the vapor by some other method such as thru a bong which I also use.
SO IF I am on the go, and without a bong as an option, then in that case, the 6 is a bit better than the 004 xp
THE 05 is also a strong consideration. It's a similar device, and when set from 7 - 9.5 on the dial, you get a visable vapor seen in the air, and it fills your lungs when you inhale, especially if it's fresh bud in the cap.
I'm THANKFUL for getting the pick tool as well. I don't know how much of a difference breakage wise that would make, but I do mine fairly routinely, maybe 4 or 5 times a year. A once every two and a half months kind of job
THe rest of the time, I just clean it with the screen in using ISO 99% and a qtip
good luck, I'm gunna go visit ROB FORD the Toronto crack mayor extrordinaire. He's having FORD fest on October the 2nd, and I'm gunna demo the stick and have a vaped j with mr ford.
see ya guys.

Perhaps I should reiterate.... the INH05"S" is still going to be available it is just the same as the original.... lets call it the Beta "S" mod which had 2 separate individual flex heaters inside.... the future release will not be constructed this way..... the production release is only going to have a single double the heat capacity but in one single flex heater...... so as far as I understand the INH05"S" and the INH06"S" are still going to be available just not quite the same build.....
This is largely do to the fat that they are for the most part electrically the same exact units.... the only real difference between the 3 releases are... guess what....? the flex heaters..... it was for this reason I felt I had to resend all of my praise because I fear that the newer single 25w flex heater will not perform the same as the dual flex heater build....
The INH1004 I believe was more of a wire spiral cascading top to bottom
The INH 05 has what the manufacturer considers their final flex heater design
The INH 06 has the same heater as the 05 does... so just a slick button added...

that is awesome to know.
I like all the units. I'm gunna get a half ounce and go and see ROB FORD that's my plan for FRIDAY.
He's the notorious mayor in Canada that smoked crack, but mary of U was his first trick and he treated himself often.
I'm told he likes to drink hard as well.
This would be a much better alternative to rolling it up old school, but I'll keep you all posted and let you know if he handles the vape and or tries a puff or two.
see ya later
and I'll keep y'all posted and I'll be following the latest updates. The 6 is really SMOOTH is what the people I offer it to say back after trying it.

Would it be too much to ask for you to take some pics or video of this encounter? From what I've seen, he doesn't seem to have a problem with being filmed, so I'm sure he'd be cool with it.

My +2 tears old beloved Xp starts to get poor battery performances..I know it is possible to replace the battery, Centizen, FC member, offered this sort of battery...
Although I'm thinking to use a 05 replacement battery...do you think it can works? Could you explain me step by step how to replace my Xp battery?
I can't imagine to let it to go to trash only for this reason..it works so well!

No problem PPN you are correct you can use the battery from your 05.... I move mine around all the time and I will even change out my XP with a fresh battery if I don't happen to have my 05"S" with me for whatever reason....
The XP really isn't that bad or difficult to replace.... in fact I feel the most difficult process of any of the Inhalaters is to remove and replace that darn switch cap..... and on the XP model I feel it is much easier to remove because the cap is taller and offers butter thumb leverage for popping it off....
So anyway .....
Step 1. Removing the Switch Cap......I tend to focus pressure where the USB port is and I do that because the folded ribbon cable is opposite the USB port.....
Step 2. Removing the Switch PCB.... now this can be or feel a little bit tricky because the USB port protrudes from the PCB and tucks into the hole in the body {something they changed in 05} therefore it is necessary to back the PCB out on an angle..... but before we begin to do that there are a few other things to address 1st......they used a few methods to aid in trying to secure the PCB and protect the USB port longer..... you'll need to look for any glue that might make the removal difficult and also they would often try to extend the LED making it also protrude from the PCB into the body hole.... so you may need to push it back in towards the PCB...just enough to clear the body.......NOW we can proceed...
To remove the switch PCB you will need to lift the end opposite the USB port {this is where the folded ribbon is and clearly why the ribbon cable has been folded} once you have lifted up you can then begin to angle it so that it can be backed out from the USB hole in the body... again on an angle....
Step 3. Removing the Battery.....allow the switch assembly to dangle "DO NOT" unfold ribbon and hold the switch back out of the way the bend the manufacture put in the ribbon is much to extreme...
Step 4. Replace the Battery..... make sure the ribbon cable is flat along the bottom as you slide in the new battery if you keep the orientation the same when you take the dead one out and have the fresh ready to be put in you shouldn't mess up...... but should you flip it around in between replacement you could damage the ribbon cable.... it is easy to notice as long as you are careful and pay attention...
Step 5. Replacing Switch PCB.... you are basically going to be reversing step 2 but of course you are going to have to tuck the USB port that sticks out into the body hole 1st at an angle and then push it down in and flat.... ready for the switch cap to go back in place......
Step 6. Replacing the Switch Cap.... here we again have to worry about that damn ribbon cable so be extra careful and sure that you have got the ribbon tucked in so as to NOT pinch it when we have to push really hard to get the cap to go back on..... Oh yea almost forgot the cap has to align correctly with the switch shaft...... now this can also be a little tricky but if you make sure the switch is in the off position and then just line up the cap's off to the bodies white square and press really firmly....
P.S. I wouldn't bother with trying to put the LED back into it's body hole...just leave it recessed... Oh and before I forget.... your battery is very likely just fine..... the issue is more likely that your USB port has come to it's end of life and is no longer charging the battery completely but you'll probably figure that out as soon as you try that XP battery in your 05....after a good charge anyway....

FIRSTLY>>>> my Inhalater 6 BROKE last Thrusday.
I never made it to FORDFEST and on Thrusday at around 5:30pm after charging it, I though I'd do a round with it only to find this problem>>>>>
WHEN I TURN IT ON, IT TURNS ON FOR ABOUT 15 SECONDS, THEN GOES OUT COMPLETELY.
It had started doing this a couple of weeks ago, once in a while. Nothing major, but sort of a precursor to all this.
One thing I wonder is how much of a difference the fall made. It wasn't dropped from very high, but needless to say, there is some sort of electronics inside that seems to have been effected.
In this model the manufacturer claims that the cap is SEALED on. It is not sealed.
I did endeavor to open it up and even tried one of my spare batteries. All to know avail. Same issue.
Sorry to say, the ROB FORD guy also says publicly that he has quit.>>>>> which only means someone out there desperately needs to hit on him a bit, but perhaps not me>>>>
that might prove to be too controversial a move since Inhalater might in fact be ROBBING you, the question is, how much you could afFORD to lose all your money.
I have not at this time asked inhalater for help,

I'm so sorry to hear that one of the few 06's out there has met an early demise..... sucks I know.... my 06 has already been showing signs of having charging issues... when I first got it she faithfully charged in 6 hours or less if not completely exhausted..... but as out late it has been taking 9,10 even 12 hours to completely charge..... so guess who jumps in the driver seat when the 06 can't perform..... 05 "S" because even though it's USB has given up completely.... I can simply pop in a new battery.....
Speaking of which.... I have been wondering for quite awhile now about being told I wouldn't be able to swap out the batteries..... can you tell us more..... manufacturer told me I wouldn't be able to swap the battery because extra wires had been soldered to the switch to allow for the "Turbo Button"..... did you see or have to deal with these extra wires....? or was I just told that as to encourage me not to have a look inside..... very interesting business tactics up there in Inhalater Land......
I think it would be an absolute shame to throw away such an amazing tool just because of a poor solder joint or sensor..... which is likely all you have going on there..... your tell is the fact that it does try to come on.... this typically will mean that everything is good to go however it is waiting for the sensor to report back that it has detected heat happening.... it never gets a reply so it stops.....
If you wish to test my theory simply do 2 or 3 tries to start back to back and you can pull out the cap and feel the heat.... so you the human knows it is ready to go but the MCU has lost comms from the sensor..... poor solder joint or broken lead or sensor itself.... I would as the manufacturer to take a look to see if it is repairable..... depending on what all they find should determine warranty question easy enough IMO anyways....

well, what I truly have learned is that WHEN WE BECOME an advertisement in life for the various companies that we have dealt with and enjoyed products & services from, we do this blindly, almost NOT WANTING to know the worst horror stories and customers that felt put off by their dealings...
In doing this, we become popular ourselves with others that had a POSITIVE experience and feel the need to continue ADVERTISING and to preserve that POSITIVE experience by distancing ourselves from the negative stories, or NOT TALKING ABOUT THEM.
The problem with that approach, is there will ALWAYS be somebody in the picture that got bullied out of their right to share in that same positive story and instead became the outsiders that all the ADVERTISEMENTS around them wanted to AVOID in order to preserve their own illusions and their involvement on the inside where everyone periodically raises a glass a makes a bizarre toast to HOW GOOD LIFE ALL IS, when in fact we know that's totally disingenuous and ignores the many people run over along the way to success.
I would go so far as to say that the product as Old School says, is fantastic! Not so much for the cheaper parts though, that's a heartbreak.
I did notice that there was 2 wires that had been disconnected in me pulling on that to get the battery out. I realize that was the BOOST button connector wires, so my boost button won't work for sure as of now.
Also, it dropped back at the beginning of September. Don't know if that's what caused the malfunction, but it's from 3 feet maybe, to a carpeted floor. That's hard to swallow a bit. I'd have to say, I really would have to KNOW FOR SURE that these problems were being looked at and that somebody was doing something to preserve the integrity of the product here.
Otherwise, it's just total CRAP we're selling people here, and I'm not sure they are BUYING any of it.
In terms of happy October, it's TRICK versus TREAT guys, and alot of folks in the vapor market are getting tricked rather than treated in order to harvest a HUGE sector of the economy in a market where customers are still trusting, but finding out slowly that reliability is not a key feature and customer loyalty programs are non-existent.
I would also look to re-order that broken vape, and haven't given up completely on that part of it that needs fixing perhaps being looked at by a local electrician.
But I now can truly see the heartbreak this leads to and the guilty plea to all and anyone blindly ADVERTISING this product should be automatic. I have for some time felt this way, and I've been honest with people in my life, but at the poorest levels of society where I exist, the need for healthy lungs is not high on anybody's list, and I'm one of the few that would consider a vape, let alone own $1500 dollars worth of Inhalater gear.
I guess, Old School to tell you the truth, I still would want 3 of their working units to be good to roll so to speak. Having just 2 is not quite as good, 3 or more is fantastic great!
That's the delicate balance between great potential, and I'll re-order, to over the top glowing review that I gave 2 years ago.
2 years ago, I didn't know how many HEARTS got broken, so I didn't care so much at the time.
AND, well, know I now how I came to know what I didn't want to then because I WAS a BLOODY ADVERTISEMENT. sorry to say!
the end
yours truly,

I would also look to re-order that broken vape, and haven't given up completely on that part of it that needs fixing perhaps being looked at by a local electrician.
But I now can truly see the heartbreak this leads to and the guilty plea to all and anyone blindly ADVERTISING this product should be automatic. I have for some time felt this way, and I've been honest with people in my life, but at the poorest levels of society where I exist, the need for healthy lungs is not high on anybody's list, and I'm one of the few that would consider a vape, let alone own $1500 dollars worth of Inhalater gear.
I guess, Old School to tell you the truth, I still would want 3 of their working units to be good to roll so to speak. Having just 2 is not quite as good, 3 or more is fantastic great!
That's the delicate balance between great potential, and I'll re-order, to over the top glowing review that I gave 2 years ago.
2 years ago, I didn't know how many HEARTS got broken, so I didn't care so much at the time.
AND, well, know I now how I came to know what I didn't want to then because I WAS a BLOODY ADVERTISEMENT. sorry to say!

OK lets 1st address the unit repair going out to a local electrician.....I would shy away from that idea if I were you....n electronics tech like maybe a phone repair person.. but to be honest with you... there are likely only a handful of techs that could fix this successfully..... it's got just a couple of gotcha opportunities that can bite you back and render the device un-repaireable..... so pls consider sending it back hell you live up there don't you..... swing by for a visit...you might even get to try out their latest and greatest INH06 "S".... just sayin....
Now all this advertising business..... I will agree I too thought you were just a little too upbeat about this product....so for me yes I agree you seemed like an advertiser...... I was convinced you and the manufacturer were good friends or old pals from school or something.....
I think the majority of us here are simply sharing our experiences in hopes to give others a heads up... so that they may make an informed purchasing decision...... advertising is going to always put on that rosy glasses image of everything being awesome and perfect..... but here we like to loose the rosy glasses and talk about real life experiences with these products pros/cons likes/dislikes.... I was so happy to find this website well over 2 years ago now.....
Yes I am a huge fan of this design... {log vapes are the way to go IMHO} however being a consumer I'm most interested in value for my money..... value translates into many things reliability & performance are top contenders for many of us...... I have my eye on this design as well as the GH.... both look to be awesome performers but the race to deliver a reliable trusted product is in full swing...
Inhalater was 1st to market so naturally I have several of them already along with their many pains...
GHL is taking a different tact.......
so who will get there 1st tortoise or the hare....??

Not sure who will win....
Hey thanks man. I'm on welfare, so losing one of these things bites.
Socially it's a great thing in my pocket. I still like mine. DON'T drop them, but yeah, if you get a good one and it works, you'll likely enjoy it if you learn how to operate and clean it.
I have no way of knowing how much a difference that made dropping it.
Hey, I read on Inhalaters web site that sending them a FILLED CAP with an illegal substance inside it does in fact VOID the warranty.
the funny part is, they'd probably not vape that for safety reasons, but I would. Dare me to send it back in that fashion Old School ol' buddy?

I might send it back to them to see if they can fix it, YES that's possible.
This thread here looks like it's grinding to a halt for one though. Second is, if there's no sales, you'd better get your inhalater supplies before they close and shutter their doors.
when I ordered the INH 6, I called them back and told them that I would also want another water attachment because 2 would be quite useful...
I was offering to PAY for that water attachment, but they sent me a nice email back saying that they'd include one for free.
On the transaction thru pay-pal it also includes it on the list and the price was $0.00
Then it came, and there was no water attachment included.
Seems like they might be low on CERTAIN supplies, so I'm just happy now to have ONE water attachment and ONE pick to hook the screen for cleaning purposes.
I'm assuming @Old School has the pick, but without the pick tool, you'd have a hard time hooking that screen, and thus cleaning the unit.
lastly, does the 6 s equal success finally?
6 s = suck says

I do sometimes finding myself cheering for the less obvious.... the underdog..... but really it is the design concept that keeps me here.....Hybrid conduction/convection vaporizer
Dude I rarely find I need to remove the inside screen {yearly perhaps} I find a mild scraping upside down a few taps...followed by a lightly dampened Q tip to swab the inside flex heater walls.... most all of my regular routine cleaning is done to the glass caps I use and even that is very light as the glass chamber gets stained week maybe 2... I take some ISO Q tip and tooth paste... the entire other side of the screen 3" is golden butter reclaim which I scrap out after again it gets too dark....
Now this was funny..... On the serious note....I'm not certain that the new improved 6 s turned out quite as good as was expected.... again not certain because my opinion is based on the manufacturer not writing to tell me how wrong I was.... I do believe they might still be going to offer them as I am about to receive a replacement 6 s and I was asked if I wanted a single or a dual flex heater... so this tells me they are still going to offer/release them soon if not already....

Hey guys,
I've got a couple of questions regarding the 6...
How long does the battery take to charge on the 6? I know partly the reason people removed the battery from the 5 is because it took a ridiculously long time to charge through USB, and so they put the batteries in a standalone fast-charger.
Also, with the single heating element, do you find you only get visible vapor around the 7-8 mark?
I really would like to get another Inhalater as I think the design is the most stealthy out of all the vapes out there, it's the easiest to pack and unload, and has the greatest amount of temperature control. But I don't want to spend all the money they are asking only to have it break soon after purchase, and then try and get a refund/repair. I may have to go with the Arizer Air which I do not think is as good as the INH, but at least it is reliable and has good customer support.
Thanks

Let me start out by saying that I wish I could tell you that the INH 06 is a huge improvement over the 05 but honestly it is simply all the very same electrically.... the improvement is in the operation and having the ability to over-ride the closed loop relation between the sensor and the heater.....
I'm also a huge fan of this design but having to sit by and watch this manufacturer NOT take feedback seriously.... and their latest incident involving my new IMH06 12.5w... and it just so happens to relate to your very pointed question..... "How about that charging time.?"
Well when I first got it I never saw it charge beyond over night 6 hours or less..... that is until just recently in the past few weeks it has gone to the 12 hour cycle..... you might remember that this happened before and it was isolated to a fuse that was added for safety reasons.... I remember very well because I actually went in and shunted that fuse and was returned immediately back to 6 hour cycles...
I also have the Thermal Protection TP popping quite often when I'm trying to finish off a cap and a do feel it is somehow affecting my charge times but it has been difficult to track......
The response from them was along the lines of that issue has already been addressed your the only one reporting that you are still having it.....and yet I NO longer take a charge over-night and I'm even seeing it taking over 12 hours now as well......
No if you go for this product you are doing so strictly because of the design as I have.....
I get visible vapor upon exhale at like #5.5 and walk it up from there to say #7 which gives me about 25 to 28 inhalations... I don't walk up too quickly and it usually takes me 3 runs/30mins to finish off a cap I prefer the glass as it helps to dampen the conduction factor a tiny bit and the taste well who doesn't love the crisp clean taste of glass.....
Now here is what using the INH06 can actually do for you....I can do all the above same size/kind of herb in less time....with the 06 I can do it in 2 runs/20mins......
If you are looking for a recommendation I would go with a INH05 "S" with the dual 12.5 flex heaters as this build will deliver the kind of performance that you demand..... sure the 06 would likely improve vapor production for the cloud chaser in us all but at the cost of never being able to change the battery which makes avoiding the USB charging issue paramount.....
If I were to make suggestions there I think I would avoid using it in pass-through mode which is something I do very often 80% of the time.... also always make sure to turn it off before putting on the charger... for sure avoid taking it in and out of pass-through while it is still on..... these things may help prolong or possibly avoid completely the charge time doubling issue..... again no guaranty....
Patience is the KEY element in the warranty repair/replacement arena..... I so learned this lesson back when I got my Q2 XP... the waiting was awful and long story short I went back to smoking...
it sucked big time..... now thank god I have spares and back ups.....
So if you can handle the fact that the USB issue might still be lurking within their design then climb back aboard because I agree it is superior design and I do believe they are going to make it more bullet proof.... my fingers are crossed..... really do like the log style with almost all of the mess contained withing the glass/Polyimide capsules..... if you do comeback do yourself a solid and get the glass cap...

Great reply Old School, thank you.
So you're saying the 5s also has the slow charging issue? I don't think I'd want to be removing the batteries in this vape as I'd more than likely just end up irreparably damaging the electronics like so many have done.
I also currently rely on being able to use my vape on charge so I'm never left waiting if I need it. I remember this wasn't possible with the older versions of the Inhalater (battery consumption exceeded charge rate) and I was often left waiting for it to charge.

No I'm sorry I was talking about my recently received INH06.... my (2) INH05"S" of which 1 has been faithful and reliable since I got it but sadly it did suffer the USB charger extending then eventually gave up altogether.... now the interesting part is that the other 05"S" I have the heater quit but I use it as a charger and it faithfully has charged in 6 or less...... this was my main reason for thinking that the pass-through might be a contributing factor..... and with a heavy users such as myself it was able to be brought to the surface in basically 3 months time......
Now I have an email into the manufacturer about the rework done to remove the charging circuitry from the TP circuitry so if the TP is a contributing factor then that might make the whole mess fade away never to be spoken of again..... I think this would be a very welcome outcome......
My only point about the 05"S" was that should the USB issue show itself with the device you might receive and if that happens the 06 is locked in... done but the 05 can slide in a fresh battery which I've been doing for 6+ months now..... it's really not that big of a deal..... but I get it... my GF won't even attempt it.... she just hands it over to me..... when she will allow it to even be done.... very rare...
When my Q2 XP died I wasn't completely honest there..... I had a VB 2.0 deluxe water tube pretty cool setup..... or so I thought until the day I got my Q2 XP..... so when it quit on me... I tried to go back but I was ruined/spoiled by the Q2 XP.... I went back to smoking..... so you see I'm not an easy sell...... this design delivers the goods...... which is why I'm still here...... I've yet to meet it's equal or superior but then again I haven't met the Grasshopper yet....who just might be it....

That's it, I've decided. For the money Inhalater are charging for their defective products, I'm gonna purchase an Air. I'll probably keep that until Inhalater finally have a reliable model out there for $250 (or less). The fact that they are charging $350 for the INH6 leaves a very bad taste in my mouth.
I've waited 2 years for Pharmacor to get things sorted, guess I'll have to wait a little longer.

I'm also waiting... but I'm also communicating with the manufacturer.... doing my best to hurry things along offering as much testing feedback I can....in hopes that our wait isn't TOO damn long....
