Still not sure if this happened for real...I mean, with the discount, it is hard to believe that not more members made use of it.
Many probably just skip this thread because of the price tag for this vape, I sure feel lucky to have seen the post from stickstones and make use of the discount.
At 259,59 euros, shipped, this was a deal that I could not resist, and I am still having a hard time believing it hihi.
For me personally it has been four years ago when I last used my minivap, and the truth is, I missed it a lot. But for me, as for many others, the normal price tag is way out of my reach. With the discount however it could be had cheaper then a whole lot of other portables...
Have been mostly using the little basket, starting at green now, finishing it at red. When doing this it becomes really clear how well this thing functions, and how well the temps are calibrated. So when no more vapor is released on green I bump it to red, and I can take a few more draws that produce nice vapor.
The smaller white mouthpiece is what I am using for now. The flexicone+, with the large tubing, seems to actually get hotter then the short one? Maybe I should try with the tubing and the small white mouthpiece plugged in at the end of the tubing?
I used to have a mod that kinda created an 18mm male glass mouthpiece, letting me hook up the minivap to water tools. That will be my new mission, maybe I should contact
@Ratchett (just hoping shipping to Europe will not kill me LOL, ps ratchett on another note, do you know of Kanesis, printing material made from hemp, have been testing it with a friend, please check it, would love to be the first to order something you printed with hemp) , if I am correct he might have a better solution?
Have tried a few times with the flexicone in a 14mm male bong, but seems like I cannot get it to seal properly, giving me airy hits.
Let it run till battery was death yesterday (came half charged more or less), and noticed charging still takes exactly one hour. Seeing that gives you (not timed it myself yet, according to the info from minivap) 3 plus hours of use, I would say that is not bad at all!
The only thing I did not like about my old minivap was the very long heat-up times. I am still amazed at how fast it goes to solid red now. It does not feel like I have to waith for anything. Turn it on, grind herb and fill basket, insert in lid and close. Start drawing! Most of the times it was at solid red before I started my draw, sometimes it was still blinking. Even when starting to draw with the blinking lights, the heater would soon catch up and the light would go solid.
There is a lot of talk in the threads of the newer convection portables about the need to do a ´primer´ draw. With the minivap, sure the first hit starts of light, but if one has the lungs for it, after a few seconds one can feel the temperature of the air that passes trough climbing. I always exhale vapor on my first draw!
Still so amazed at how this thing functions. Also about how fast one can take the basket out after a session. This shows clearly that this beast works almost exclusively with convection in this set-up. The ABV always comes out all of the same colour, and does not have this distinct conduction smell to it. Under a microscope one can easily see that (most of) the actives are gone. I will start saving up my ABV to make edibles. I am sure it might make good night time medicine.
Things I would like to see different:
a smaller battery,
a usb port for charging,
or a usb charging cable. By just changing the charging cable for one that can be plugged into a usb port one could possibly hook it up to an external battery pack and run it of that? Maybe even run it with the power base, skipping the battery altogether?
A top lid / mouthpiece that is easily hooked up to a bong.
A program that would let you start at lowest temp, and during the session will slowly highten the temperature (kinda like smart paths from davinci iq)
Note to self...United Kingdom and United States are 2 different zip codes
