Linx Gaia - Dry herb vape

[NAMZUGED]

How many 4min sessions does everyone go through off of 1 bowl?

I can really stretch to 6... but I’m not sure if much is happening after the 4th session.

Usually by the 5th or 6th session, there is little to no vapor production.

Is that 5th or 6th session even worth having at that point?

Annnnnd the glass piece just snapped as I was screwing on the mouthpiece.

Not even a snap... I thought the mouthpiece was still turning, and next thing you know, I realize that the glass piece was no longer connected to the mouthpiece.

$15 for a new mouthpiece and $8 was the cheapest shipping option.

Right when this thing was looking up, it disappoints again.

I’ve only owned it for less than 3 weeks.

Hello !
I also was a Gaia user for about 2 days until the device simply died while charging.
I used to get about 10 heater cycles with one battery charge, and about 6-7 bowls. After the first 2-3 heating cycles, the air intake on the side of the unit started to smell of burnt plastic/electronics, but i thought it will go away after more usages.
After i saw a teardown from the guys from "puffitup" i realised that the air path is not isolated from plastics that are exposed to heat.

I believe the yellow tape starts to smell badly when it gets heated.
Anyway, the smell did not go away before the device completely died yesterday.
I plugged it to the charger, and turned it on. When i engaged the heater, the display blinked, and returned to fahrenheit (it was set to celsius). After ~ 2 seconds, the display turned OFF, never to be switched on again.
I let it charging for more than 2 hours, (without the battery indicator showing up) thinking the battery is to low, but the Gaia wont turn on again.
I will send it back tomorrow, and have it replaced with the Fenix 2.0.

The major pros of this vape are its sleek looks and high efficiency (i used <0.1g for each bowl and got a decent amout of vapour).
The major cons are poor quality and reliability, short battery life, burnt plastic smell, and 4 hours charging time.
Now i switched back to my 4 years old Flowermate V5 Pro until i will get the replacement Fenix 2.0

You mustve had a lemon because thats exactly the opposite of my pros and cons list. My pros are that it has absolutely NO off tastes/smells and very transparent/neutral flavor and a good battery life, along with very good build quality.
My biggest con is that its not efficient and goes through alot more herb than my other vapes, with flavor going downhill very fast.

That could be a possibility, or maybe you got lucky and got a good one.
The burning plastic/PCB smell is a common issue with the Gaia, but only if you use it @ 220C.
If i use it bellow 215C, the smell is not that intense, but it is there for sure. I find that is does not produce much vapor bellow 210C.
Anyway, i sent the garbage today back from where it came from, and i will get it exchanged with the Fenix 2.0
Until then, i use my 4 years old, immortal Flowermate V5s pro

Cheers

I mean the words about the Gaia are a bit harsh imo, but at the same time I dont blame you, Id be pissed too if I received a shoddy POS. But if you look around at estabished reviews, youll see that your assessment of the Gaia is not normal, nor does it match up with my experience, and its not accurate to suggest that the majority of Gaias have those issues. These things are mass produced by flawed humans, and just like with cars, they send a crappy one riddled with problems out the door every once in a while.

its true i got a bit pissed and frustrated, having to wait another at least 2 weeks before i will get the exchange.
Having that said, i could have easily lived with it if it didnt self destruct.
Regarding the battery life, i was used with the flowermate wich has 2x18650 in it, and its pure conduction, so it lasts ~ 15 cycles of 6 minutes each @ max temp of 230C after more than 3 years of heavy usage. the gaya only lasted 9 cycles of 4 minutes each @ max temp of 220C when new.
Also, the smell coming from the side intake holes was very bad. I guess the smell would have eventually go away in time tough.
