Hey everyone, guess it's about time I start posting on these forums, been lurking for quite a while but this is the thread that brought me to FC!
I ordered my XP off kush_p off eBay in February. Seeing the bad luck some people were having with getting their items I was worried it would take a while to receive mine, but after been sent from Canada on the Friday it, somehow, reached my postbox in Ireland on the Monday. <- I imagine this could anger some who've been waiting so long for theirs!
It is my first vape so I have nothing to go by but wow did I love it. Brought it everywhere with me and spread the word amongst my friends who equally enjoyed it! It produced big clouds when the temperature was over 5 for any reasonable length of time and the battery was amazing compared to other vapes I read about online.
The heating light stopped 2 months in after falling about a foot onto a carpeted floor which I thought was a bit tender! I didn't mind however and it wasn't until the USB port completely dislodged from the unit in May that I had to send it back. Customer support was very helpful and I've already received a replacement vape (took around a month) and I've also bought another one (white) off the same eBay vendor.
Both vapes I have at the moment are the new ones with the serial numbers.
Have noticed a few small differences;
- The capsule is definitely shorter in length than the previous XP model. I've read people saying their capsule was shorter compared to the 004 but maybe the first model I got somehow was still them same the length of the 004...dunno.
- It seems as if I have to put it on a higher temp, say 7 or 8 for a longer time to achieve the same clouds as I would have got on a 5 or 6 before. Obviously a result of the temperature dial been altered for accuracy. It doesn't really bother me as clouds are never really my goal, although they can be great!
- The dial on the white model I received came off relatively easily after a friend mishandling it. It was easy to put back on, just in case anyone starts to freak out if it happens to them. I would fathom a guess and say it's something to do with all the reinforcement they applied to the USB port which could have made the bottom not as securely attached. My friend was mishandling it though so hopefully shouldn't be anything to worry about.
All in all I have to say it's a really great vape. I can't draw a greater list of comparisons as I haven't got to use it as long as I'd like...and the weed I have atm is unfortunately average which could definietly bias a performance review! First time vape/buyer's happiness aside, I can't see myself wanting to upgrade from this vape anytime soon...which usually would be unlike me. The portability and discreteness of this is unreal.
