Sticks has assured me he has a few and one can possibly be had..if my talk game is good..lol
where are you at?I just jumped on board ataxian, mine should be here tomorrow.
What are yalls favorite glass pairings with the MV?
I think I am going to want something a bit larger with a wider base than my SB Travel Bubbler, but still like minimal diffusion and a smallish can, but with a larger base to handle the weight of the vape. I tend to prefer bubblers with removable down stems and removable mouthpieces (for cleaning and ease of transportation).
@stickstones Will he be passing that savings onto you?Start setting aside your money gang...I just spoke to Hermes and they are doing a 20% Black Friday sale on everything on the site! You'll be able to order stuff through them or me at the discount.
@stickstones PM sentBlack Friday code for the minivap site it: MVWEEKENDSALE2015
This will get you 20% off anything. For those of you in the US, you can email or pm me directly and order it through me for the same discount.
Allright, my miniVAP just came in after 3 months and this is probably the most dissapointing day of my life to date.
They forgot to package just about everything. I just got a charging base, a battery, the heating piece and the power adapter. Because I waited an eternity, the web store I bought it at also included an accessory kit, but the whole thing is useless without the top piece. But that's not even the worst part by far. When I suck air through it (basically putting my lips around it like a bong, because I don't have the top piece) while the thing is OFF I still taste this terrible plastic taste that makes me nauseous. Next to that, when I suck air through those silicon tubes they give with it, it gives a different, but equally disgusting plastic taste to the air as well... When I turn it on and only just smell the top it stinks like someone threw a plastic bottle into a bonfire. Not exactly my idea of a vapor purity guarantee.
I'm at utter disillusion here, this is one of the best vapes there is and I payed €470 for this thing and they send me this? Wow... Even the firmware is iffy, sometimes when I press a button it changes the temperature immediately and sometimes I need to hold it for 2 seconds until it changes. I understand this goes against everything this whole community has been saying for ages but I feel like this is some sort of cheap thing into which the manufacturers didn't put any attention or care whatsoever.
The charging base feels flimsy as hell as well, how can they even charge 60 bucks for that thing when you purchase it on its own?
Seriously, I'm confused and I don't know what to say.. And I'm nauseous.. I'm not trolling in any way here. I don't even know why I am posting all of this, but I guess I don't believe what I just experienced or I'm trying to vent my disappointment or whatever.
EDIT: It actually smells just like the Arizer Solo I once tried to take one draw from with an empty bowl, but a little less intense. It's just this synthetic taste which makes all your primal instincts immediately say: "warning, this stuff it toxic". So yeah, the Solo was stinky too, but at least the package was complete.

Hi ive had alot of issues with the minivap which has dragged out for over a year now.
Ive just got my minivap back from hermes for the third or forth time with repair and the smell and taste is so nasty it overpowers what I put into it. They had it for 3 months at one point and seemed no different when I got it back. I have sent over 60 e-mails to the third party site and about the same to hermes and still no pure tasting unit like the mighty which I have and I love.
I also have a sore throut and bad chest from one session on my repaired minivap. Plus the site I bought it from dont sell the minivap any more so that tells you that people have given up on minivap.
Looks like the time to finally bite the bullet and grab up a singular glass core. Have all the other bits with my Higher seated heater Teflon core. Works out a cool £150-£160.. Not to shabby!
I gave getting another battery serious consideration, but mine seems to still be close to when I got it originally for holding a charge, at least I think so. I was one of the lucky few that VN included a charging puck with my kit by mistake. I've never used it, not once. I know, unbelievablePretty damned psyched about getting a glass core. Now though, trying to decide if I'd be as well stumping up the extra cash and getting an AC kit, portable or just go the whole hog and get a second full kit.
Stupid BF sales

There was a period last year where Hermes sourced bad heater cores. That's been resolved since the start of this year. And a glass core option was added along with the teflon core.
I have a Crafty. I do love it for on the go. Taste wise to the MV? No contest. MV hands down. You are the first person, besides the poster you quoted (who is also no longer a registered/active member), that I can remember that talked about any type of foul smell or taste to the unit.
Sore throat? Bad chest? It's the MV fault? Pretty sure that's far fetched to be honest. Biggest reason most people have always looked to an alternative, and I'm guessing here, to the MV has always been the high price point. If Hermes were to knock the price down to the Mighty price point, a safe bet would be to say sales would go way up. And to be honest, the motivating and tipping point factor for me to buy was a US site that had a site wide 30% off deal going on.
Interesting first post.
Exactly what I did from @stickstones over on this side of the pond.

Sorry to hear all the issues you have/are having, but it really isn't the norm. I sure hope you can get it sorted out since apparently you did enjoy it when it worked properly. I'm a bit miffed Hermes hasn't taken care of you the way you he should have. You have quite a bit invested here, so if it were me I'd not give up and make Hermes deliver.I must say I wished it was working like it was before it orginally broke. It was pure and tasty then one day I had a white light led and it wouldnt heat up. Ever sinse then it has not worked properly and hermes have had it 3 times to repair. Also I was never asked about which heater core they were using in it. I wish it worked because it cost me £465 last year and now its going to sit in a draw. Im definatly not imaging the bad taste.

MV FLAVOR QUESTION::::::::::
OK, I just get medicated on 445 F with straight draw thru an OGB glass mouthpiece and I'd rate the taste as very good or higher. It's not off the charts good like at the 3 low temps but still really really good.
??? Is there any other vape that can match this level of flavor at that high of a temp???
My field of comparisons comes up that none are even in the same ballpark at high temps.
At lower temps some vapes taste may be "in the ballpark" with mV but nothing is close at high temps.
Several portables don't even go above 410/415 F and their 410 taste is not great.

I Never got a replacement. Just sent it to hermes 3 times and its still not repaired to a purity quality standard.Well, that's frustrating. Many people, myself included, have had the same problem and received replacements without any runaround (though not necessarily from Vapefiend). Did VF confirm what @I.b.vaping said about not restocking?
Also, did you already send in the device to VF? If not, I would consider just contacting Hermes directly (info@minivap.com) and dealing with them.
