Discontinued Inhalater XP

[HazyDaze]

Salutations,



Oh no! Please!! I'd rather connect a computer to its USB plug in order to define a set of prefered temperatures instead of risking LCD display failure because of heat, whatever (as it has happened before with the Supreme, if i'm not mistaking!)... A pair of recessed buttons and one multicolour LED is all i wish for, if there must be more feedback lets simply make it an audible one!!

Yeah, I'm a big believer in the KISS principle too. How about a simple LED array to measure battery life, similar to what the Arizer Solo has. I'm aware that this involves more electrical circuitry, but may prove to be less prone to failure than the addition of a full colour LCD screen.

As a person that loves to have the latest model of electronics and gadgets..will there be anything for the early adopters of the xp? Trade in program of some sort..

I'm sure you could e-mail them and ask, but I honestly don't see any updates that will warrant an upgrade until the next model comes out.

Salutations,

Hey, don't shoot the messenger! I believe it was in the INH 004 thread there next model will be one with a digital temperature display.

Salutations HazyDaze,
Salutations PAZ,

How about a simple LED array...

LEDs are sturdier and they'll survive the unit no sweat. The LCD screen on my venerable HP-48 calculator is still working fine 20 years later but this one never feels any heat ever...

...to measure battery life...

This could as well be monitored silently in order to limit the amount of distraction for a user. It could take various forms, global LED blinking should get the owner's attention for example (in parking lights fashion)! Or maybe it could chirp briefly as in a fire detector, provided there's a piezo transducer inside to generate such noise. On another hand i'd wish to have the means to foresee what's ahead so i can manage with the remaining charge accordingly. In short i'm not certain what i'd like best in terms of power capacity feedback.

I'm aware that this involves more electrical circuitry, but may prove to be less prone to failure than the addition of a full colour LCD screen.

This point sure makes sense and i do concur but for one thing: most of the necessary electronics is likely to be present already, it could very well be a matter of FirmWare, mainly - which is something i'd like to be able to upload myself via USB by the way!...

As a wild guess i'll suppose the dial is made of a variable resistor, possibly configured to generate an adjustable voltage signal feeding a single analog-to-digital converting input. A pair of switches and a rudimentary resistor matrix then could replace this conveniently - MAYBE.

Additionally, i think Hippie Dickie's very fine thread might provide additional perspective on such reflexions (and beyond)...

I believe it was in the INH 004 thread their next model will be one with a digital temperature display.

Oh, sorry about that! M'well, in that case i'd try to welcome it (with my fingers crossed on both hands!)...

 

[HazyDaze]

One thing is certain, and that's that I'll be buying the next model (INH005?) irregardless of the developments made, simply because I love what these guys are producing and I can't wait to see what they come up with after the XP. After all, you can never own too many vaporizers....

 

[Egzoset]

...I can't wait to see what they come up with after the XP.

To me only the test of time will really tell if they've made the electronics sufficiently reliable for our purpose, i'd much prefer an XP2 than a whole new concept - well, unless it's based on induction heating combined to the Curie thermostatic effect in PhyTherm230 alloy... Moreover, lets not forget i'm still dreaming of a "bi-energy" enhancement somehow!

I'm afraid you may end up being one of the reader's guinea pig so i wish to thank you quite warmly in advance: we're all looking forward for the good news!!

Lol, yeah I'll gladly take one for the team!

So Greg from pharmacor replied to my email about the issues i got with my xp...he says its electronics problem has to go through warranty repair...still hasn't told me how to claim the warranty repair...anyone has done a warranty repair claim before?

 

[Dreamerr]

I am very confused about the xp. It was suppose to fix some issues the 04 was having. It seems like they tried to do a lot more and possibly failed. They just told us they will be changing/tweaking it over the next 6 month so to me this is a new model then not just a fix. I thought the 05 was suppose to come out at the end of 2013 or someone said in here 2014 but how can that be when they are concentrating on a fix of some very minor issues with the 04 and now way more issues with the xp. I don't think I can recall this many failures with the 04. As we know we are only a small part of the market but even so it perplexes my mind.

 

[Rrose Selavy]

hey maybe i missed it but i have not seen any vids of the xp in action. hopefully someone will post one soon. also i was wondering about smell does the xp stink how easy is it to clean?

there's a few posted videos in action ten or so pages back. There's a great one by Sonics420 you could just search by his username.

Vapes smell

Vapes smell

yea i know i just remember seeing somewhere that the inh004 smelled bad wanted to know if that was still the case. if its how my past portables normally smelled im not concerned. just want to make sure its nothing excessive.

 

[Vaporisateur]

So far the 004 smells nothing compared to my NO2. I like the fact it has a cap and I leave it on until it has reached its temp or almost. Then I put my finger on the tip in between puffs to avoid spillage. Rocks really well.

good to know thanks a lot

 

[Dreamerr]

I think what cause a lot of the smell is the tips...not sure about the new blue ones though since I just got some in. I don't have an xp but don't see that the smell would be different.

How would having the tips increase the smell? It merely means the smoke goes an extra 2 inches before it reaches your mouth. Unless you mean over time the tips will start to smell, in which case I would understand that.

 

[Dreamerr]

Yes, over a short time those tips stink to high heaven even if you iso them.

What are the issues with the XP? There was what... 2 failures out of the first batch, and both of them were beta units? It's understandable they're always trying to improve a product, imo it shows their dedication to produce the best product possible, rather than sending out a decent unit and leaving it at that.

 

[Dreamerr]

I don't disagree with you. They made the statement not me that they will be tweaking this for six months. My understanding was this was more like a 04/2 to fix problems in the 04 but if they are tweaking for six months that is not the case IMO. The xp stands for xtra performance which is just a bonus to the problem fixes.

 

[Rrose Selavy]

Dreamerr seems like you are a big presence in this thread how long have you had your INH004 since you say its your fav in your sig im sure it has held up well.

 

[Dreamerr]

I have had it almost since it came out and love it. I do have one of the glitches but it really isn't a problem if you don't do back to back sessions. If I need more I can just grab another vape or wait till it cools down. I had the dates in my sig but my men in here were annoyed my sig was so long but I still love them. I got it on 8/17/2012.

I shortened my sig guys but didn't feel like pretty yet but will.

My way of filling up 0,3g in the Inhalater capsules. No spills, no mess, always perfect.

[Vaporisateur]

LoL! I didn't know if other people were doing that.

My way of filling up 0,3g in the Inhalater capsules. No spills, no mess, always perfect.

I thought I answered you last night but guess I decided not to for whatever reason. I used to fill my caps the same way twisting them in a film container. It was great and the easiest way. I was having trouble with the suck method at that time. I have found that the capsules get dirtier faster from all the oil it rubs against in the container and our hands. It made it much harder to clean as well. I will say I didn't know that back then but when I started using the suck method I realized how much easier it is to clean the capsule.

If I am in lala land and did post this already excuse me...kind of always well brain dead.
