MiniVAP Vaporizer

[PPN]

Been on the fence for years with this vape. Think i am ready to pull the trigger. Whats the best setup to get for the core??

If you are looking for bigger clouds the Hybrid Glass Core is the way to go (convection+conduction), although the Convection Glass Core to release the best taste available (but the Hybrid is very tasty too!).

Difficult choice but both are so nice you will be pleased whatever your choice is!

Just scored one on Ebay for around ~150 €. Good catch I hope? Unit is 1,5 years old and has the hybrid core.
VAS kicking it these days... Just got a VXH and a DBV few weeks ago. But the prices were just too good!

Anything special to know about the minivap? The unit comes with battery (unfortunately non usb-c version) and the starter kit. That's it. Do I need some accessories?

I ordered my MiniVap from Spain And could not get A Battery but Do have the New C charging,I recommmend getting the C charging base and that pretty much eliminates the battery along with portability,I picked up a 50,000 mah Battery pack for Potability with 30 watt draw capability.I also just ordered vapeXale Rimmed basket screens from seventh floor on the way. Prior to learning those will work in MiniVap according to blogs.I tried to get Medium Originals but cold Not get those. I am still trying to master the MiniVap hybrid ( the glass insert if i recall correctly worked the best for Flavor and clouds)and feeling Novice-ish due to I Am assuming having other heavy-hitting Vapes in my collection . Good Luck to everyone and Cheers.

IMO the one must have is the @Delta3DStudios silicone adapter cover 14/18 mm which allows you to use it multiple ways!
My main methods:
- Direct into hydratube bubbler
- Direct to all glass 8” mouthpiece from Oregon Glass Blower
Max flavor without whips or tubing.

And of course using the Flexicone modules :
Rimmed screen basket + rimmed screen + silicone Flexicone

So this is what my minivap looks inside the bowl. Is that screen user replacable? What's that steel (?) ring for?

Also it came with the glass mouthpiece and one of thise glass chamber reducers. For my understanding I need an additional flexicone thingy and cut the small side of to use it with the glass mp?

Jorge just updated the blog, really interesting news!

USB-C (III): Battery | MiniVap Blog

How a product evolves over the years through technology. The NEW USB-C battery allows to charge by any USB port.

My QGC Boro MV is constantly in my rotation, but I was always curios about the convection core. Combined with the release of the new USB-C Power Adapter, I finally ordered the Teflon-Glass Single and a lid WPA.

I plan to use the new core for low-temp, prolonged sessions on the couch and while gaming, as I have a long USB-C cable around the couch, as well as the PC. I really believe the implementation of USB-C in every component of the system (power adapter, battery and charging adapter) will change the entire way I use this vape and I plan to update my current battery as well.

How innovative. Ten years after release they come up with a new USB Port. Wow.

Just to add a little context, in my opinion it is not just a new USB Port, but rather the simplification of the charging chain.

Before you had a specialized, clunky external power adapter - now you can use it wherever you have a USB cable installed anyway.

Yeah. Tell me about a vaporizer that was released more than ten years ago, is just as modular, and has evolved over time without needing to switch to a more recent model.

Hi has anyone tried the expresso glass dosing capsules advertised on their website ?

1. Are they worth it (improves high, falvour?)
2. Are they durable longterm vs the stainless steel?

 

[Fogoff]

I'm using the espresso caps, and they're excellent. They improve the extraction process and are easy to use. So far, they've been durable—I’ve only used one, and it's holding up well.

I won't call blasphemy.
But I will say, one bad review (yours) since this vaporizer came onto the market in 2010... that is a HELLUVA great record!
Perhaps there are others who complained, but fuck it is rare.

Sorry you got a lemon, your experience is very unique.

A 30+ watt discharge battery on it And Underperforms

is that the manufacturer's battery? if it is 10v then that is only 3 amps - may not be enough to keep the heater temp constant.

i really don't know - i have never used one - i thought i remembered it used LiFePO4 batteries, which i use, and they can put out 70 amps or 200+ watts. plus 1000s of recharges and fast recharge rate. plus safe.

maybe the AI is messing with me, but the 30 watt figure got my attention

There was a time, over 15 years ago when they had a dud bunch released.
A few members here received one and had to return it.

Another consideration for @4-Aces King-High to consider is what has been happening in the world lately...
Not sure if you have seen or heard about the intense flooding they have had in Spain?
This could be affecting @jorge

This is a link to the battery that has to be used with the MV.
I am also seriously confused by what type of battery @4-Aces King-High is using with his MV.

My original battery finally died after 15 years of charging and use!
My very first MV was a dud, there were a few back then but MV replaced it without any issues.

@4-Aces King-High
You could also just give them a call.

Oof. Yep, I had a straight up bad one back in the day, and another died prematurely. However, Jorge made it right both times. I’m not calling bullshit or anything but maybe try reaching out another way
