@Just Justin ive only tried concentrates in the old way too hot mivape and actually got pretty good results... I didnt really like the cotton though and considered a steel wool or something similar to the persei ti things they use with the hercules but never got around to trying it...
i dont see myself using this much for oil, i have too many other options but ill play around and let ya know i have a few different types to play around with

I posted this a few pages back. Unfortunately since I no longer have the miVape I won't be able to try again...plus I'm out of wax now too
At the end of my journey with the miVape I was using high temps at about 375-400f with the 18to14 adapter and getting great convection hits. With the higher temps I could easily kill a load in about 7-8 really cloudy hits. The taste was getting much better in my miVape before I lost it and after using the Solo for a few days I must say that most of the taste issues I had with the miVape must be due to a non-isolated air path. The Solo does provide that conduction taste which is not as good to me, however I don't taste whatever it is that I do in my miVape and Flowermate Pro. Still, if I had the choice today, I would take my miVape with the bad taste coming through over the Solo.
I talked to Dan about my miVape and it is really unfortunate that I did lose it, because he wanted to get it back in his hands and take it apart to find out if I had a broken or defective part in the air path assembly. The air path is like 99% isolated he explained. There is a silicone connection in the vapor path at the bottom of the heating chamber and there is a wire that goes through the glass that is part of the coil so this is your only two points where the vapor path is not completely sealed. If the silicone connection is defective it could lead to the issues I was having such as the insulation getting contaminated with Resin and bad taste getting into the vapor path from the insulation heating.

I noticed on my unit that had the broken quartz, there was a big gap between the chamber and that silicon ring. That unit i only got good taste before seeing vapor...
Another thing that could potentially cause the bad taste is debris falling out of the holes on Quartz cup and into the chamber...
I did notice on my new unit whatever white material is around the glass chamber in the unit hAs some black spots or spots that seem to have deteriorated or fallen apart i think someone else mentioned or noticed this... But the unit is working amazingly, no off gassing and taste is top notch so im not going to complain

I'm not exactly sure if that is the silicone Dan was referring to or if he meant something else when talking to me.
I know it was not the taste of Debris, because that is very different taste...much more combustiony. I would experience dropping debri's maybe once every 3 or 4 bowls with the adapter I was using and the great thing about the miVape the way I was using it is that I could just pull the adapter off, dump the debri out of the heat chamber and continue on without having to clean anything as the combustion never occurred in the actual bowl.
I am glad you and @Just Justin are having a great experience. I am really interested in what @Vape Dr. says about the taste/flavor on this vaporizer. I already know it works, but I want to see what others say about the taste profile as I hope it will be just as good of feedback.

The silicone piece is a clear-ish tube that connects the bottom of the glass spiral to the air intake holes near the USB port. I think you may be able to see it on Vaporfections website in the picture of the miVape cut in half on the "Technology" page.

It's an obsession but it's pleasin'
For anyone who might be considering purchasing a miVape, I just got an email from VaporNation offering up a 20% discount. Just enter the coupon code: MIVAPE. I bought my unit from them and it was an excellent transaction. You'll get the miVape for $207 and they throw in freebies including your choice of a grinder along with a choice of a storage cannister or smoke buddy or small scale.
I am in no way affiliated with VaporNation. Just wanna let other forum members know about the offer and my experience.

So a week in with the new unit and i finally feel satisfied with my purchase...
I have ran about a gram of bud through it so far... Pretty much staying at 350F...
Pros: amazing taste, fast heat up time, even vaping, decent battery life, pretty durable, light weight... Doesn't get too uncomfortably hot unless you do back to back sessions
Cons: i dislike the quartz cups, i wish there was a way to load the herb directly in the unit (Or something like iolite/whispr where the chamber is on the mouthpiece but you dont have to remove it eachother me to load) so when its done u can just dump it out instead of burning your fingers trying to keep ot clean... Also the screens for the mouthpiece clog really easily blocking airflow...
Also still having issues with the battery, staying on 80% until i move the charger or mivape and it quickly switches to 100% Full...

In theory it sounded and looked great. But I agree, an easier way to fill the MP would be a great feature in a future version.

Dan is working on something already. Of course there is no time frame on this right now since it was just brought to his attention, but it is something that we can look forward to seeing changed.
It's funny because Vapornation posted a coupon for this in the Supporting Retailers section of this forum but the date of expiration is 10-12-15??? Anyway, we at FC have a slightly better deal with Vapornation. Use FC21 to get 21% off!

Been vaping some melty, bubble extracts and the miVape is amazing with this type of extract! I have never had better results in a portable, mostly better than traditional atomizer pens and the Herbalizer is close but different and the Myster Shotgun/ Dark Knight Brave can also put out some good extract vapor but the taste is no where near as pure as with the MiVape. I have been experimenting and found that just a tiny bit in the bottom of the cup is all it takes (1/4-1/2 pea size amount) and I set it to 370F and the results were great, soooo much flavor and vapor. It's super smooth, not harsh at all and it can be used later until it's all been vaped. The extracts just bubble away in the bottom of the cup but I am a bit worried about it possibly leaking through the holes if you put too much in or your extract is very runny, I am looking into some ideas to prevent any leaking but so far I haven't had anything drip through the holes but I am using some fairly thick /gooey bubble.
LOOKING FOR ANOTHER VAPE????Check out the Elo Vaporizer by Illimite Concepts which is coming soon......I have been beta testing one and so far so good.

Hey guys. I received my replacement Mivape and it is night and day different.
I only tried it with shatter so far, but I was very impressed with the results.
I put about a .10 gram dab on the cloth in the capsule (I didn't want to waste it if it did not work well).
I set it to 390F. It reached temp very quickly (20 sec) but it took another 15 seconds for the thermometer to appear. So a little over 30 second heat up time, not to shabby.
No remember I went into this expecting the worst but hoping for the best.
390F is money with shatter in the Mivape! I got about 9-10 great tasting draws with huge clouds. I was actually impressed!
Round 2:
I raised the temps in 5 degree increments trying shatter again, and the higher I went, it did not taste or vape any better. I settled at 390F to be the money shot for shatter and the Mivape.
Very impressive results!
I will try herb tonight and let you know my results.

Hey Guys!
I tried the herb capsule and so far I think a medium grind (2 1/2" 2 piece space case) half full on 340F is the sweet spot.
I did find that in between draws blowing and inhaling through the mouthpiece works well as long as your herb doesn't blow in through the 1mm capsule holes. This gets the caked up herb off the mouthpiece screen.
I have been averaging 7-9 draws per capsule. The first 2 draws taste amazing but no vapor. The 3rd hit is where the vapor appears.
The Mivape is a very promising "connoisseur" vape for those who really like to taste their material.
The Mivape has a bunch of things they need to change, and with talking to Dan at Vaporfection he agrees and wants people to tell him what they like and don't like about the unit so it can be improved.
I'm still testing it out, these are just my opinions so far guys.
I will be back with better feedback after the weekend.
Happy HALLOWEEN everyone!
Be safe and have a great weekend!

Finally received my replacement miVape today. 3 years after pre-ordering. Another $75 in taxes and fees. But excited to try it out.
First impression: After charging for about an hour, hour and a half maybe, the battery had been at 80% for a while. The plug then fell out of the socket (adapter), and I plugged it back in immediately. The battery was back at 50%. It's now working its way up -- ever so slowly.

@dormouse My Mivape does the same thing. It charges at 80% and will stay there for hours. If I pop open the battery door or unplug the USB and plug it back in, sometimes it goes to full.
I think the Mivape goes into a trickle charge mode at 80%.
The Mivape uses 1x 18560 samsung 3100mAh battery which is an IRC battery with circuit protection.
IMO, I think there is a glitch in the firmware that needs addressed while in charge mode.
There are many things I like and dislike about the Mivape. Charging being one of the dislikes.
I also noticed from a full charge, as soon as you turn the Mivape on it's already down a bar.
I know Dan is aware of some remaining issues that need fixed and he and Vaporfection are already on it.
Being a new unit to the market I know Vaporfection relies on us FC members to posts faults and likes of the unit so we can help them produce the best vaporizer they can.
I'm still working with my Mivape but promise to have a review up as soon as possible.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

VAS kicking me again!
Mivape ordered...DrVape feedback convinced me (I hesitate between this Mivape, the Prima and the FW3)
The concentrates feature and the amazing taste convinced me...not my wife, she is agree when I got free vapes for reviews but she is angry when I pay so much for a vape!
I made a tasty as hell Lavender live resin batch, can't wait to test it in the Mivape!

You are correct about that! I would say so far that concentrates is the mivapes "killer" feature.
Why would I say something like that? Because I just spent my firs weekend with the mivape.
I've used it a fair bit myself and I had some friends over on Saturday, which I mention because what I was looking for was a session vape that would make a good companion to my Grasshopper (my daily driver) that preferably would have some quality of its own that made it "worth having" and even using when not in a group setting.
My other current vapes are the Firefly and Pax2 and I have to say that pre-grasshopper, I probably smoked "most" of the time. That is to say that at home I would use my bong or roll spliffs primarily and the pax2 was my go to vape for out and about or in the car and the firefly if I really wanted to experience the flavor of a new strain. The Firefly is great on flavor, not to say the GH is "better" but for sure to say that in its differnece its the FF isn't worth the effort compared to the GH.
After the GH made me a primary vaporist over smoker, I found the pax2 AWESOME at being my "e-spliff" (i.e. mix it with tobacco and cannabis) because of the long battery life. I then decided that I wanted to replace the FF with a vape of comparable flavor to the GH but is a great device for sharing as opposed to the GH which is a PERSONAL device.
So far, the mivape is exactly that! First I also want to join the chorus of singing Dan's customer service praises. Beyond that, the same way I wouldn't say either the Grasshopper or Firefly have "better" but different flavor, again comparing the GH to the mivape I would say the same, its more "different" than "better" but neither is worse.
With flower I would say that where the mivape is "better" is the vapor is cooler over several hits, of course I would never recommend using the GH that way. This "better" is really more a function of both being excellent but "different" devices.
For example the GH's startup time is clearly "better" however I wouldn't recommend using the mivape for a quick hit at the ballgame, its a device for a "different" time.
Like for example, watching the ball game at home with a bunch of friends and some concentrate.
One thing I really enjoy using the mivape for is "caviar". At least in my circle caviar is defined as when you mix flower with concentrate of the same strain.
....... WHOLLLY FUCKING WOW. I think this will be the primary way I use the mivape, mixing some flower with some concentrate wrapping it up in the cloth (which I think cheesecloth would work just as well so I'm going to have to stock up ...). The flavor you get is amazing and plus you can temp step through the session starting mostly flower ending with mostly concentrate (the beauty of convection!) I have been setting the timer to 8 minutes. I start on 340 and work my way up to about 390 usually.
The same way I think the Grasshopper is a "personal" device, I think the mivape is a "cannasuier" device. Is my preferred method of using it labor intensive? Sure but who cares, the point is I have time to TREAT MYSELF. The mivape experience is for at home or out somewhere nice. A good rule of thumb, if you drink fine spirits out of a nice glass, that is a mivape sort of evening. If you would drink beer out of a can and booze out of a bottle, probably roll a few joints and buy a pack of cigarettes ... maybe set aside some bail money, sounds like its going to be a fun night but any vape you have WILL get lost or broken or both.
Pretty much any other situation, take the Grasshopper!
So would I recommend the mivape? YUP sho would! Who doesn't want to be in a situation where fine folks are drinking fine spirits out of fine glasses more often? Don't get me wrong, I love me a dive bar but it's nice to have the right tools for a classy party and the mivape is definitely that.
So from the perspective of a person that likes to have the right tool for the job, the mivape is an awesome tool and once you have it, I'm pretty sure you'll find/invent the job for it! Just my first thoughts.
