Oh wow, that is really troubling. Now I'm super bummed out…They haven't responded to you in a month? I gotta say. I bought it from them because they are US based and are a "trusted friend" of FuckCombustion, as shown on the bottom of every page here. A month to hear back from customer service…wow…that's crazy…how can they possibly be considered a friend of FC?

A little bit of aesthetic damage is not the end of the world, but a wonky button and paint on the locking threads that are essentially in the air path is sooooo not acceptable for a vape that costs over $500 and has all the marketing hype of being "the most advanced" "the cleanest air path" etc... I'm not sure what to do, but if they don't respond to me within a few days I might consider getting my credit card company involved.

Give them a call, if you don't want to keep this one, if it's not up to the standard it should be replaced. Maybe you got one of thoses units from a bad batch. My first unit have a very a little patch of discoloration on the top but it's barely noticeable and my second is perfect all the way up.

@THE KISS FREAK : ha, now that you say that I realize they only sent me one flexitube also, but that's not a big deal to me, I could have accepted that...

@Smknbud and @Roger D : I was about to call, but figured I'd email again through their support system, and they responded quite quickly this time. I sent them pictures of the damages and described how the + button is very hard to click and they seem receptive to getting it fixed.

Really, I'm no prima donna, but this thing just isn't up to par for a new product. I did get a small discount with their Fall coupon code, but in my mind, that shouldn't = a busted up unit. Also it wasn't that big of a discount that I can accept what is pretty clearly a refurbished or "bad batch" product. I would gladly pay the extra $$$ to have a pristine device.

Anyway, I'm hopeful about their initial responsiveness as of today. Hope to get this fixed up soon.

I do appreciate everybody's feedback.

Thing is man.. Once you try it you'll probably be kicking yourself for having denied your taste buds and pleasure centre of the brain a little while longer.

Maybe VaporNation received a "factory seconds" shipment (light aesthetic damage) and are selling them at the discounted rate? 25% off scratch and dent sale?

Think I did my first hit wrong.

I put the basket directly inside the minivap container.

I did not clip it in to the top of the unit, could that be a reason I didn't get any taste and it felt war?

About to get setup to try another now, I fell asleep before lol

Original connection installed in huge lid had a screen built in and this was solid. Basket doesn't connect to this so I out basket in the chamber directly, I assume that's right?

It all seems to be running hot.

What came with it was a more solid connection that was in the lid of it. This came with a screen built in but I couldn't connect the basket to this

So I replaced this with a silicon one which I put a screen in and filled it, not packed with cured herb and connected this basket to the silicon.


I screwed the lid back on (noticed it doesn't look even around the rim, not that that will make a diff but making a note of it in case) I then have a protruding nipple on the top to connect my silicon flexi tube or whatever it is. It has some form of ear one end which I assume is the mouth piece?

I connect the flexi tube to the nipple but it is not solid and flexible it has a bad fit and comes off easy?


Heated it to blue and had a go, felt like it was hot to me, again minimal taste ( same herb is tasty and cool in da buddha, I have mastered that though but hit it off straight away. Can't hit it off straight away with ascent or minivap

This is what I got with it

Fuck me dude.. You are way off.
The long tube with the flared end is the flexicone +.. This is slid through the lid so that the flared end is housed inside of the unit once screwed on.. But.. Before screwing it on, snap one of the flat screens into the flared part, followed by a filled basket, either size, which will also snap right in to the flared part. Now screw it on.
Alternatively, in place of the flared part you can fill a basket, place it into the MV.. Then take the hard cone with the built in screen and put it's nipple end through the lid from the bottom. Screw it on. Now place the plastic hard mouthpiece on the protruding nip.
Or... If you have glass.. You take the flexicone.. Which is similar to the flared end of the flexicone +.. And again, snap a flat screen into the flexicone followed by a filled basket. Place the cone onto the glass bowl area so that the basket that's snapped in is facing up and out. Place the MV over the basket. This will create a seal. Vape on lil buddy.

That makes sense now

I don't have another flex, vapornation didn't include it, so it has thrown me off.

Will try again, but hot and dry vapor so far, can't taste the goods really.

Sorry, big thanks bud

What colour/temp ? You have all that's in the picture yeah?

Edit: Plus, I'd love to see what on earth you were actually trying to do :uhoh:
We are all here to help though.

All 3 of mine have been Black bought in the UK. April to June. First two broke. Do remember a couple teeny blemishes on those this one was perfect.

Go back and read the last ten or twenty pages and you'll glean a decent bit of information on how to improve certain aspects of vaping with yout unit. There are also pictures and videos of glass straws that eliminate the lip burn.

Glass is great though.

Thing is, I have read through all this thread, part of my problem is retaining the info.

However I will continue to explore this

Thanks for your help

Also pre heat I guess to get maximum effect from the MV on all colour temps.
So when you wanna play vape, you plug it in or twist on that battery and put it straight to red. Then leave it if you have time.
It will automatically go blue after 20mins I think?
You want the innards up to temp so you sucking cooler air though the path doesn't have as much of an effect on cooling the whole kit and koboodle.

And if you wanna toke out right away.. Then red is blue kinda, until it heats up. Then green is blue and red is green.. Etc
This is only my opinion.

Hi question for you guys, would you recommend this vape at present ? it seems that there are some manufacturing issues ? I'm from the UK and like the idea of being able to send it close for warranty if need be, but it seems like if I buy now it might lose heat ability quickly or be defective ?
