MiniVAP Vaporizer

[Concupiscient]

Attention miniVAP lovers and lovers of all things miniVAPed:

Does this & other stuff workw/herbie?
The hemp fiber mentioned - hint where at?
Must have list around?

oh ... am i gonna get sick if i just air dried iso soaked stuff rather than rinsing?

Just got my miniVap!!! And I am hella confused lol can someone please tell me how to use this thing lol. How do you use the flexcones and tubes and oring filters. Nd it came with two basket screens. 1 small and the other bigger. Which do I use ? Should I just load straight into minivap chamber?

The Flexicone basket modules are much better for most people.
Here's a picture (but how I use them in my herbie).

Bottom to top: wire basket (either of your 2 sizes is fine/experiment), rimmed screen (or regular screen as this keeps particles from being sucked into mouthpiece), hemp filter which is what I use but not required), Flexicone. It all snaps together to form Flexicone module.
Shove that into the MV cover, screw on cover, warm it up-------- enjoy

Thanks alot giving it the first charge nd then ill be up testing it out! Gonna try nd get the decarb kit, ac puck, and 14mm glass adapter , nd maybe the derlin adapter but not sure. Whats the difference between the derlin adapter nd the 14mm glass adapter? Just the size?

@MinnBobber - Looks like a good first addition for my basic herbie. is it available as kit?

Is a burn off required? Having trouble getting superior vapor. Turned on blue. Good flavor but barely any vapor . Turned it 2 green . Got some good vapor but the taste was alil off. Sorta taste like silicone mixed with terpenes. Still experimenting , any pro tips would be helpful. I remember one dude posting when he first got it , he wasnt impressed but once he got to know how to properly use it , it was the best vape. Thanks VapeFam

I had some issues getting used to it at first..what really changed it for me was i loaded directly in chamber to start anf then once i got to know the unit then i started using baskets and such. Also its comvection so you have to start iff with slow draw to get the hot air heating up your material then ramp it up and the end. It will come to ya.

That was just misc accessories I bought from stickstones.
MV has some lumped together but these were the ones most useful to me.
Note that I rarely use the J-hook but other like stickstones loved theirs.
I much preferred the @Oregonglassblower long glass mouthpieces, just worked better ergonomically for me.

Depends on how you use it.

I have used the glass adapter and like it for bongs but I find I always slap it across bongs when pulling out of my bong. Depends on the piece of course, I could buy a piece where this was less of a possibility.

You could use the silicone whip and use a 14mm male bong. This works great, I love this and that's how I currently use mine.

You could use the delrin adapter which allows you to use things like hydratubes and to securely dock your minivap into a piece.

I haven't even touched on a lot of ways you can use it, it is ALL dependent on how you find it convenient to use.
My main goal with a piece is to not obstruct my eye line looking forward, but if I'm reading a book or a comic, then I probably need a different piece then I currenetly use. I can say a lot more, but different pieces are ideal for different use cases...

Inhale very very slowly.... that's about it. If you don't believe it's working, load a fully fresh bowl on red and do that and see if you don't change your mind.

Problem is had with my minivap, seems like when using flexicone and basket I'd have crush it in hole make sure it was sealed right. Sometimes I'd get hits sometimes not. Then open lid try close again then I'd work

Hint. Don't pack down the baskets. A loose to medium pack will allow the hot air to hit all your herb.

Yea I packed it in and it wasnt hittin good. Packed it looser and it hit better.still giving it some test runs before I drop my final opinion on this unit

Try direct pack with no baskets..that where it became my big hitter..

Over two years of ownership and i have never packed inside my chamber....
Always used the Flexicone setup.
May have to try this one day!

 

[subway13029]

Yeah i use baskets but when i ant to pack more and get the big rips..and i used to pack oil and flower sandwiches and the chamber stays clean..it wipes easily out..give it a try..still great flavor..

I can get bigger hits that my lungs can handle just using the baskets. Loose pack, long slow draw. First hit, not so big all those after can be huge. Chamber is spotless after over 2 years of use.

I am the same although mine runs a lot cooler than the newer ones.
First few hits are no vapor, only pure flavor.
Then the vapor starts very slowly and builds all the way through the session.
My large basket lasts a full session and sometimes after it turns blue, i will reset it and continue for another 5 to 10 minutes.

When i tried the one a friend bought it was totally different to mine, way hotter!
I was able to cash a small basket in 3 hits! INSANE!
Flavor was not so good though and diminished very quickly after the first hit.

I have been wanting to send mine in for a core upgrade but i really like it as it is!
It is my perfect at home, watching a movie session vape!

Was it a glass core?

 

[lazylathe]

No it was one of the newer Teflon cores from @stickstones

My favourite way to use the MV is with a solo glass stem medium packed at green setting, and red to finish. No cover, no flexicones. The stem fits nice and snug and hits like a champ. Flavour dissipates quicker with using glass stem over using basket+ fexicone cap combo, but imho I enjoy the glass stem much more as it still taste great and hits heavy.

Mine is one of the newer ones that I got right before @stickstones came on board.

I'm using @stickstones original setup with the glass j-hook. For me, it works perfectly.

Iwien, which core do you prefer glass or Teflon? Was thinking of picking up the glass core to complement my Teflon

I've tried both and much prefer the Teflon core. Sent my glass core back. Don't miss it all.

Mine is from just after they had all the failed cores. Somehow i got lucky and mine just keeps performing
