Raf007: The hose that comes with the MiniVap fits neatly inside a EQ 1,2,3,4 hose making the conversion from miniVap to 18mm gong. A little trick I pick up tinkering around my house. Also I start out on green and move to red after the extraction get a little light. I find the taste is better this way.
I like using mine that way, green then up and out. I had glass vape parts and silicone tube laying round so built my own gong for my big bong. Minivap working good now too.
My mini was old model, ver 1.2 and I needed to put an prong I cut from some sil pipe I had. That did nada more too. I have opened up this thing first night I had it and got no vap.. I was impressed by its construction and like the heat brick which I think is a heating element/air path labyrinth. By passing air this way we have a volcano heating system, we are the pump! So air tight is crucial. They built that in but missed when it comes to ver1.2 top cone. So I put a small wad, tiny, of cotton on air intake side and screwed the thing back together. Only really need to remove back plate and add cotton to top of tube, just rest on top, not squeeze into tube ok. Replace bottom cover, bolts. Up top, I added oring that I cut to cone tube, at base. Then I put the silicone tube in the top cover hole till it was flush to bottom inside cover. Then jammed the cone in the silicone and now I can get best upper seal using the rigid cone it came with.. Oh the tube can hold minivap with battery attached too.
This setup made me happy in vape taste, and effect was supreme... Best 700 bucks yet spent. My that batt did finish fast but that's the conditioning phase that should be fine. I also ripped open my batt can too, 4x 18650 cells in a pack arrangement, series connected and a little Pcb to hold connector pins.. Plate on top for connectors to minivap is Pcb too if I remember... That's because I set it away for 3days till I played with top and cotton mod just 2hrs ago. Inspiration is strange how it comes and goes..
Now for that gong, bit of glass blowing and heat made me a gong to pipe, it fits puurfect. Big rips on green.. Bong sounds nice.. Now I must wait for it to charge, damn how long does it take? Please tell me... Also where is a manual, I got none and cannot find on the net too. I must be dumb no or it not exist..
I found that it is real efficient too. And when batt goes the heater holds up to 2-3 more hits, dimming as usual. So not instant death. So the guys, Jorge at minivap, tell me of updates avail soon so then ill send mine in for updates. I might gift this updated one to my best mate, he needs to convert to the vape, and buy an updated one, then send this in when the new one comes. I save so much money now, wow 50g tobacco goes two weeks, 16 bucks a week not 74! Also my job pay better now too, my stocks do nice, so with my lungs happy... So am I and family... No more smells too.. I used to use 100g tobacco a week at best and 150g at worst.. Those figures are for pax, vapor genie and solo.. This minivap... It's gonna save; I see that after my first good, half, only poured in bowl..
So pax is warming my hand. Mflb will sooth in bed, solo with modded Ed stem for passing with pax passing counter flow... For parties out doors. Inside parties well the cano ballon is fun, but minivap could run round there too.. I'll see at the next party. Now come on minivap... Get charged already..
