You guys have heard me say that the team at Hermes (MiniVap) is at the forefront of the medical cannabis testing. And here's some good stuff to chew on as to why. They are working with Bedrocan to develop a medical vaporizer for testing and patients. The following are some links to articles written by Hermes about the science of vaporization...enjoy!

Plenty of herb and shatter sandwiches..and they make a concentrate pad so yeah it works..Has anyone successfully vaped any budder or shatter with the MV?

Thanks Sub, will have to try it out. I've never had the chance to try the concentrate pad that comes with the MV.
Cheers

Almost there...
Went away for the weekend, 5 hours from home and decided to bring the MV with for ease of use.Packed it all up in the camera bag and off we go!
Upon arrival I see that the Flexicone is nowhere to be seen!!
WTF do I do now???After a few seconds I remove the top screen from the chamber. Shape it a bit to form a lid for the basket and power on the MV.
Lots of air leaks around where the lid mates with the body...
Wrapping my fingers tightly over the join provided a perfect seal and the vapor started to flow!
Weekend saved!!
So if you ever find yourself Flexicone-less, this trick works for emergency vaping!!
MiniVap to the rescue!!
Think we'll see a new vape soon from them in the next year?

They are certainly due for something!

I have been using a MiniVap for the past couple of days.
@stickstones told me great things about it, so I came here to look.
A member donated one to us, and of course, prior to assigning it a home, I must check it out.
I did not have any short silicone cones, so I have only used the long one.
You were right sticksones!
The flavor profiles of the strains are clear in this vape.
Great flavor, and beneficial medicinal effects also.
It takes a bit longer to reach heat than I expected, but once she is cooking, she cooks!
Is that the general concensus.. that the heat-up takes a while?
The video is actually my 1st 3 hits using the MiniVap.
The 1st one was rich and thick, and caught me by surprise.. you will see me forced to clear my throat!
The other hits went down smooth as glass.

I am thinking it is Teflon Core.
It is worth the wait when there is room in the "need to vape" continuum.
I like it best with the large basket. The flavor is more pure to me.
Thanks for that confirmation.

I'm in the super minority in that I use the baskets and I will pack directly in the chamber for some big hits..adds some conduction to the mix.

I use my MV with the straight glass Solo stem. I get great hits on the purple and green settings. I use the F Bomb with the solo gong and glass stem when using the red setting. Works amazing

So the Teflon core makes it extract rapidly? This would be good for me on occassion.
What are the benefits of this vape over others? If it extracts really well I may replace my Nano with this so I don't have to fiddle with so many pieces, micro loads in stem and such when I need a session. Do different inner rings make the sessions last longer or shorter in general based on material?

Unique vape signature.

No the glass core extracts more quickly than the Teflon core.
Teflon for taste, glass for clouds.
I have never tried a glass core so no idea on taste.
Effects are very unique with this vape.

I like the taste of the glass core but I have a newer Teflon and I've heard the older ones were the tastier ones..

What is standard? Saw PiU got these. Assume they are Teflon core. I'd have to buy a Delrin adapter....those look sick...The MV always been on my radar and is actually what I look for most in portable. I rarely vape "on the go" but I do vape outside the house in various locations, be it camping, fishin, cooking out, etc. the HQ vapor output is sweet. The whole setup just looks really nice I'm a sucker for the cases and everything in its right place

..........................................
The standard/original is the Teflon core for supreme taste. The glass core was brought out for those that wanted slightly more punch, and IMO it has slightly less flavor although IMO the Teflon core is THE BEST TASTING vape out there and the glass is only a tick off and might rank as 2nd best tasting. Glass core is obviously more susceptible to breaking.
My Teflon core has ALWAYS had more than enough punch for me so I have no interest in the glass. I've used a glass core and it is great if you want that and are ok with glass.
Can't go wrong with either

That is high praise buddy, gracias for the .02; that's something else that always speaks to me. Everyone RAVES about the minivap and it's never anyone's first device they buy, so that speaks well to it IMO. I've hardly ever seen a negative opinion other than heat up being long, but that's not a big thing for me. I always see a lot of cross EVO love with it, and I love me EVO so this is something worth my attention IMO.

I'm all about a unique vape signature! I love S&B for this reason, but hotter units for sleep, pain relief etc. So, it seems to be a different experience than other vapes in general?

I really enjoy my Mighty and Evo, but I love my MV!

Is it true you can have mega long sessions with one full load? I read a reviewer saying he had a 55 minute session, and that he lost count of the draws. It takes me around 1 1/2-2 hours of vaping every night to eliminate symptoms enough to sleep. That'd be great for me if this is true so I don't run thru 0.3 in 10-15 minutes like I do with most vapes (the Plenty would smash thru herb), unless they force me to go extremely slow and repack over and over (Nano...Solo...).
"I had a leisurely 55 minute session without a care in the world. After the first use with the Minivap, I knew I was going to get along very well with the Minivap. I lost count of draws and just enjoyed the ride!"

I may be asking you guys to tell me where to get what all I need (glass bowl) by Monday! Edit: I see Sticks is the man for everything MiniVap as well! Sweet!
I guess I need to hit up sticks for accessories? He's helped me SO much lately, and I dont want to bug him just to ask, unless I know for sure.
The MiniVap seems promising. If this will medicate for longer periods than any other vape without repacking, and with low draw resistance, this thing is extremely tempting to add to the credit card bill tomorrow... I'm always home. So, the cheaper model is fine for me until I can add the battery. I want something I can keep in the bed while watching a movie and not have to reload, or refill a Volcano bag, or repack a tiny bit in a glass stem, and of course in a long session I don't want the bud to conduct and waste. Great to have a super fast heating unit to quickly vape when I first wake up, but at night I "Need" (Medically) very long sessions. If the session is short I'll just have to keep repacking, and I'll go thru more than I can afford just to try to feel better. What I mean is I could toss half a gram in the Volcano and run 3 bags (9-12 draws), but even if I take it all in, it's too quick to "marinate" on pain, sleep, etc. If I take the time to pack 10x .05s (0.5 total) in my portable Solo at 410 degrees I feel multiple more times medicated than blasting it all thru a few bags in a short period of time. It's overly easy to run thru herb in my Volcano, where as I almost feel overly medicated if I use that much in my cheap Solo. I'm not sure why that is, but a smaller amount over a longer period is what does it for me at night, or for extreme symptoms.
Am I looking at the right vape for me, or are there others out there that can do it better?
Am I under the right impression, that there has been a bios/software update to the newest models to reset the countdown time if a draw is taken? That would make it even easier to just sit and enjoy a movie at home.
Hmmm... Another way to use a glass adapter would be to use a Vortex Gong made for the Solo. That way someone could have a glass 14mm or 18mm adapter, and could use the shorty or larger herb version of the Vortex. Seems like this Vaporizer can replace many, including the EVO. I already heat soak my EVO for long periods past 8 minutes before use. So this seems more versatile and convenient in every way.
