Sorry in advance if this is too off-topic, but I sort of think it is crucial to this topic: Instead of reading 30 threads, can we gather the information in a shorter, standardized format? Although I think it would work for all the vapes listed, I have a specific, even narrower question:
Which of the low-cost vapes are actually temperature controlled. There are a lot of "dual display" and "digital input" vaporizers (Noble and Easy Vape foremost in my mind) which have a temperature read-out - but alas, the Easy Vape, at least, isn't actually controlled.
The Problem:
Some of these vapes work by supplying constant power to a heater, so if you draw a lot, the temp goes down, if you stop to chat, the temp goes up. If you use it on a hot day, you'll be 20 or 30 degrees above using the same vape in colder climes.
I tried the EasyVape digital 5, since it claims to "display the actual temperature" and was irritated to find out it's not a temperature reading at all, merely a timer. You can even tell the heating scheme since the LED light gets brighter/darker not with actual temp, but with set-point.
The Test:
I would like to have a simple place to see if these vapes do what they claim. To test it:
Could people try their devices like so:
1) Turn it on, set something reasonably high (around where you would vape)
2) Wait for it to "come to temp" - i.e. reading "actual" and "set" equal.
3) Turn off device momentarily - a few seconds, if it works, try again at 20-30 seconds.
4) Turn it back on. Does it show an elevated temp (significantly above the normal starting temp), ideally close to the indicated "actual temp" it recently showed?
If the answer to #4 is "yes" then it's probably controlled. Other useful clues - if when it's warming up, it overshoots the target a bit, fluctuated during use (especially dropping slightly when inhaling, as the cold air coming in should cool it), etc.
What was happening with mine, you could turn it off - once warmed up - for even a few seconds. When you turn it back on, it says "80*f" and continues to take the same couple minutes to reach indicated operating temperature as it does when cold. Obviously that's a fake.
The Answer:
Could you just post your Vape type, and if it's controlled, and how long it takes to warm up?

Of course, you could leave any blank you'd like.

I am sure there are more but they don't come readily to mind this morning..
